Greetings, I was watching a film on you tube. I advance the tape to see if I watched the film before. It stops. I clicked on another film to watch, the screen of the film is sort of grey color and plug in sign appeared, I clicked on it. I continued to see which movie I will see, I cliched on one movie, the screen of the movie appeared grey, I clicked on another movie, the same no picture or sound. Please, what should I do? Thanks for the help.

Some video clips don't like being forced to "fast forward" and may lockup the Flash Player. Sorry, I am not aware of any way to fix that, beyond closing the page, letting Flash recover, then re-opening the page from History and trying another video clip.
