OK.

I got a laptop for home - it's an HP Pavillion dv4-1225dx.

I have been trying and trying and TRYING to watch vids on YouTube. Everything I've subscribed to (including ThreadBanger) says "sorry, this video is no longer available" and won't play, almost every time I attempt to play a video.

:confused::confused::confused: That can't be right, can it?

So, my question is: Did I forget to install some sort of version of flash or something? What do I need to view these dang videos? I enjoy a lot of stuff on YouTube, and even tho I now watch TB eppys on iTunes, I can't find cool stuff like tap dance footage on iTunes.

Help me be less stooopid?

Thanks in advance, LJW :)

Well, I found my own answer. I'm running Microsoft Vista, and it's a permissions issue.

More info on this FAQ page (scroll down if you're using Vista)

Well, at least I know I'm not crazy. (Not for this, at least - heh)
