Do you mean they are there, but they don't take you anywhere?

Could you provide an example?

I see nothing in the body of the message but there are responses so someone is getting a link to view.

I had the same problem and there was a relatively simple fix, but I can't remember what it was.

Sorry about that. I will see if I can find the answer, but hopefully someone with more knowledge than I will come along and help you.

It seems to be mostly due to flash player incompatibility.

If you look at the posts using another browser, do you see the links?

If not, you may have to uninstall and reinstall Flash.

If you do a google search for "can't see embedded youtube links", you will find lots and lots of posts.

I can view the video.

I have Adobe flash player, do you think I should uninstall and then reinstall it?

Try uninstalling Adobe and then re-installing the latest version.
Hope this helps.

8. I tried uninstalling Adobe

Told me to close internet explorer which I did. Told me I had NODE interfering with the uninstall. I cannot find out what node is.

I tried looking on the web but got no clear explanation and I cannot find it in my programs or search. Has anyone heard of this?

Thanks for all the help so far.

Got Adobe to uninstall, will try again.

Got the latest version from Adobe itself and still cannot pick up the links that I mentioned in the previous posts.

Don't have any idea of what else to do.

Good luck!

Hope so anyway. After un-installing and reinstalling Flash player with no success I called Dell. Got how it was IE's fault and shouldn't use but he did tweak a few things including re-setting IE which I could have done had I known we finally got the embedded videos to play.

Once he was no longer available I started getting a ton of adobe script errors again on DU only. I read several articles and one said something about disabling add-ons so I disabled the adobe flash and so far it seems to be working.

Hope this continues.

I had posted in the computer section and got a couple suggestions but they didn't solve the problem.

Thanks again for all the help.

I was working with Adobe disabled but then had to re-enable it in order to see u-tube videos.

Did a little more research and found something about active x and enabling that so I did and now so far I'm not get the adobe script errors on DU.

Hope this is finally solved.

Dell sure didn't seem to know anything about it, just blamed everything on IE10.
