I can't seem to play an online video on my computer on most websites besides youtube and dailymotion. The advertisements work fine and after that, once i clicked the play button, it just keeps loading.. I can watch the videos on my phone but just not on my computer. Please help.. thanks.

PS. used to be able to watch videos before on my computer, but just unable to do so now.

Given so little to work with

You may want to elaborate. Here that happens on some sites when AdBlock+ is active. No one may guess what it is with your PC.

flash block

some sites now seem to detect it, even when you've allowed it in flashblock, and then refuse to play anyway unless you "disable" it. Often you get a message. They are that desperate to get their flash ads to also play too!
