Tech Tips and Advice from the Experts at Dynamic Edge

I helped somebody with a technical problem today!

And there was much rejoicing…

Deb has been having a hard time seeing the videos on YouTube, which wouldn’t be a big deal except that on a somewhat regular basis, a rather hilarious YouTube will come around the office email system, and she’s just wondering what’s so funny.

We identified the problem: No Flash Player.
The solution to Deb’s little conundrum was clear and simple to me, as I’ve been immersed in Techland for nearly three months, we needed to download a Flash Player for Deb’s laptop.

Okay, so it wasn’t exactly rocket science. As Trevor pointed out, “You’d be amazed by how far you can get with technology by simply reading.” Not to burst my own bubble, but he was right. Alas! In the area where Deb’s YouTube video frame should be appearing, was black text that read “YOU NEED FLASH PLAYER TO WATCH THIS VIDEO” in not so explicit terms, of course.

Three clicks later and Voila! Deb’s YouTubing with the best of us! I helped somebody, life is good 🙂
