I was able to watch any video clips until from the internet until about 6 weeks ago.

Now I can only watch youtube video clips, when I try to watch any other video clips it tells me to load a new flashplayer.

I have downloaded the Adobe flash player but it wont load/run after download and keeps giving me the same download flash player message even though I have downloaded it ??

I am still running windows XP OS but like I say was able to watch all video clips until recently

Did anything happen, or update during that time?

Your System Details does not show a player is installed.

Flash Player Version Version: 20.0.0.306
https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html Note: Windows users should download the ‘’’active_x’’’ for “Internet Explorer,” and the ‘’’plugin’’’ for “Plugin-based browsers” (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the ’’’plugin’’’ only. Not the ’’’active_x’’’.

See if there are updates for your graphics drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
