From my last post:
Of interest I can’t play any Muxtapes in Firefox on either my laptop (Vista) or the eee PC. I think it might be something to do with the extensions that I have installed. I need to rouse myself and troubleshoot it further.
I realised that it probably wasn’t my extensions that were causing the problem when I discovered that YouTube videos weren’t playing in FireFox. I’ve had this problem before – only in Vista – that the video appears to load, plays for two seconds and then stops. If I drag the slder along it starts briefly but without sound. It’s an issue with Macromedia Flash.
Fortunately I found the answer a couple of weeks ago (it happens regularly) in the Mozilla Forums. Sure enough, navigating through to My C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash folder finds two files with “FlashUtil” as part of the name, FlashUtil9e.exe and NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe. I clicked on the second file, ran the installer, rebooted and YouTube works again. Even better, my new Muxtape works too!
Of course I still want to sort out the eee PC’s Muxtape problem as well. In this case YouTubes are playing?
EDIT: It was a Flash problem as well. Thanks to the friendly guys at the Eee PC forum at http://wiki.eeeuser.com I was directed to upgrade my Flash Player to the latest version…

How did you update flash player? I’d like to get muxtape working too but cant find instructions on the eee wiki you linked to.
Hi Dan,
Try this page: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=20314
I went to this page:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/
and realised my version was out of date. Went to the download link and got the latest version. Once downloaded it’s simply a matter of double clicking the file and following the prompts.
I hope it works for you too!
PS: – fixed my broken link too!
Awesome, cheers Nix. That was a lot simpler than I expected it to be. Now I have muxtape and fullscreen videos thanks to you
