    Do you have the latest version of Chrome and (separately) Adobe Flash Player? Chrome has Flash built in but IE needs to have Flash updated.

    https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

    Be sure to deselect the optional installs for Mcafee and the other password program.

    VirtualDr email notices are not working.
    Check back regularly for responses.

    fink,

    I reinstalled both Chrome & adobe to ensure latest versions.

    Still the same problem.

    While i am able to see & hear from you tube, facebook, why this problem from some sites esp when they were ok previously.

    Any other suggestions?

    The error message doesn't say which plugin, so it might not be Flash player. Post a link to a site that is not working for you and we might be able to figure out what it is using.

    I get the same thing without the "could not load plugin".

    Checked the site with Validator and CSS validator, lots of errors.

    Poorly written site.

    Train,

    I presume from yr post that nothing wrong with my system & the site is not well developed.

    Quite possible since even some years back, the effort to popularize & promote this site by owners did not succeed i am told.
    But their programmes r very good & popular.
    Previously, they were hosting it on youtube.

    Waste of time for both of us & the forum.

    Let us close this thread.

    By the way what is validator & CSS & in what way they r useful.?

    Validator is use the verify the HTML on a website, I.E. checks for errors.
    CSS Validator does the same for Cascade Style Sheets on a web page.

    Not many use those free tools to check and then correct the errors.
    Those errors can really mess up a website to where it is unusable.

    Yes, that is right.
