When I try to go on You Tube I can get the sound but not the picture portion.
It just happened a day or so ago. How do I fix it?

Have you checked the audio cord leading from the computer to the monitor? Mine occasionally gets disconnected.

My laptop has hidden icons in the lower right corner relating to audio and speakers. Have you fiddled around with them to see if you accidentally turned something off?

Thanks for the information. I have shut things down out in the shop and am now using my kindle.
I will try to fix it. Probably in the morning, going to enjoy the dog's and my woman now.

I have always thought that our failure to secure the Red River was much worse than
not securing the Rio Grand.

I agree with LL, I was having so many problems viewing youtube videos with FF, even after the suggestions SS posted, that I just moved over to Chrome. It's faster anyway.

get your Grandkids to visit and they'll redesign your computer issue in about 2 minutes and it
will work better than ever.

I've abandoned Firefox for the most part because it is such a memory hog. I am reluctantly using Chrome right now.
