But there tons of other plugins available. Sometimes plugins are in conflict with each other, or one plug-in causes an error which provokes problems in another. I recommend using in your web browser as less as plugins possible. If you are having problems with YouTube videos, start deactivating all plugins but Flash Player, to see if this fixes your problem. If it doesn´t try to reinstall Flash Player, it is possible that your Flash Player has corrupted or maybe a new version fixes the problems that you are encountering.
