Today I formatted my hard drive, something I do every 6 months or so. For some reason I can no longer play YouTube videos with Windows XP Pro 2002. My browser is Explorer 8. It tells me to install the latest version of Flash, which I did, but it still doesn't work. I tried running Google Chrome, but that doesn't work with my operating system. It's really frustrating because the videos played before the formatting. Do I have no option but to buy another computer? Please advise thanks.
