Only after repeated attempts to setup/install the ISO from a folder on my hard drive….

Thats what I’ve been trying to do. BUT the fatal error msg is “Bootable media not found”.

thanks and regards

Thanks for your reply.

I think that I have miss communicated my problem and intent. I am wanting to setup/install Win8 RP ISO thru the VM from a folder on my hard drive, not by DVD. It’s the fatal error msg (Bootable media not found) that is causing the misconception that I am trying to in setup/install using CD/DVD ROM. That’s not the case. Only after repeated attempts to setup/install the ISO from a folder on my hard drive that I tried using CD/DVD ROM after buring the ISO to a DVD and trying, but with the same fatal error msg.

thanks and regards

Thanks guys. Currently I am having a problem with a fatal error: “Found no bootable media.”. Will go back and retrace setup’s and see if I missed anything.

Again thanks for the help.

When I install a new update of Flash Player, I first always uninstall the old Flash Player using “Revo Uninstaller” with advance setting. If I am having problems using Flash Player then I use the Flash Player Uninstalled supplied by Adobe.

After several days of long hard detective work, I found what was causing my problem of why my Flash Player sometimes worked and/or Youtube website not being found or if found it was in htm text format. The cupit was a setting my Zone Alarm Pro!

I have in ZA Pro, the ability to enter zones that I want to block. I have Zero Day Exploiter sites, ad server sites, known malware sites, known hacker sites and other sites in this list. I have built up thru the years quite a few sites in my list. The site that was causing all the problems was: recaptcha.net. Why it started causing me problems after being in my list since January 2010, I don’t know. Lucky for me I back up my firewall settings quarterly.

recaptcha.net is a series of websites that Google setup when it started digitizing books. Wikipedia defines reCAPTCHA as a system originally developed at Carnegie Mellon University that uses CAPTCHA to help digitize the text of books while protecting websites from malware bots attempting to access restricted areas. On September 16, 2009, Google acquired reCAPTCHA.

I reset this setting from “blocked” to “internet”. Flash Player and YouTube started working properly right after making this correction.

To all who made suggestions in helping me – THANKS.

I always uninstall old version before installing the new version of any app I load on the computer. I also use a registry cleaner.

This is what I done so far:

I have a Dell XPS Studio 435T/9000 Desktop with Intel Corei7 CPU and 6GB RAM. The operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1 with IE9 32bit. Graphics Card is a ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series. Win 7, IE9 and graphic card have all have been updated.

My problem is that some websites cannot display flashcontent, or displays the webpage in an HTM text format, or cannot find thewebsite (YouTube) at all.

My attempts to solve the problem thus far have proved futile. I have:

[*]Updated graphic/display driver.
[*]Downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player’s latestversion 10.3.181.14. Have installed and uninstalled it several times.
[*]ResetIE9 several times.
[*]Enabled/Disabled- “Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering” – feature several times.
[*]Runmalware scans – no virus found.
[*]UninstalledIE9 and installed IE8. Adobe Flash Player would work but website YouTube would not display properly. Either website not found or displayed in HTM text format.
[*]Re-installedIE9. Received error msg when websites trying to display Adobe Flash Player(latest version). Again YouTube would display in HTM text format or page notfound.

I have exhausted my limited knowledge of Windows 7 and IE9 in trying to solve this problem. I am hopingsomeone out there that can help me solve this problem.

Thanks and regards

Joe – I am not sure. I only go to youtube when I am researching something and I haven’t been researching anything lately.

Ted – I think I have narrowed the problem to the new/latest Flash Player. The reason I say this is because some other websites I go to have a error msg like – you need the latest flash player.

When I successfully solve my problem, I will post how I solved it. Please keep any idea or suggestions coming.

thanks and regards

As far as I can make out, it is YouTube. All other sites I have visited work fine.

Ted, thanks for the suggestion. “Show image download placeholders” was not checked.

Excuse my ignorance but what is VMPlayer?

jsche and roderunner, thanks for you suggestions.

I reset the zoom and it worked. I then rezoomed to get the size text that I wanted. I logged off then back on and the screen text remained the same that I set it. I then went to Tools > Options > Contents and set the following fonts and size I perfer.

Thanks a million for the guidance and help.
