I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling all plug ins and browsers. I have no idea what caused it. Was working earlier today, booted up my pc, tried to watch a video and flash didnt respond. Thought it was a flash issue but silverlight isnt working either. Tried firefox reset as well. Thanks,

Did you disable the Flash plugin because it doesn't show up in the System Details List (Silverlight does)?

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:

  • disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
  • disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
  • disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
