To my knowledge, I installed Opera and Flash player long ago and they and youtube just worked. The only trick I know of is sometimes it takes multiple clicks to get it arted. I recall some statements on the youtube site that you needed WMP 10. With 98 I have only WMP 9 but it seems to work. |

Windows 98 wont play youtube videos
I just wanted to mention briefly that Windows Media Player 9 is the last and
latest Windows Media Player that supports 98SE. Windows Media Player 10 supports XP but not 98SE.

Windows 98 wont play youtube videos
I already have WMP 9.0 and now I have installed Adobe Flash Player 9.0 and
even after that the same problem crops up. I have a Broadband connection at speeds upto 2Mbps. It is NOT so much that I want to play videos as to listening to music of my choice! Does some adjustment needs to be done in Multimedia? There is a break in the audio every 5-10 seconds! Thanking you Capt K Ripendran "James" wrote in message ups.com...

Thanking you Capt K Ripendran How fast is your processor? If you have an old computer, you may not have enough horsepower to decode a flash stream and play it at the same time. Flash decoding seems to be cpu intensive, as is playing As a work around, when using a slow comptuer, I click pause in the flash player and let it download and then click play to play the downloaded file. |

Heck, I can play YouTube videos using IE 5.5. Just make sure you have
Flash player installed. I can also use one of the latest vers of Firefox. Now as for the content of garbage on YouTube, no comment !!!! ---------------- On Wed, 15 Aug 2007 03:12:56 -0700, Miles Copeland wrote: "Capt K Ripendran" wrote in : I am able to play YouTube video/audio in Windows XP SP2 but NOT in Windows 98 SE!

Windows 98 wont play youtube videos
I play YouTube videos on dialup. I just shut off the sound and do
something else while they load, then hit REPLAY. It often takes and hour for them to download.
