update. I tried Firefox and it works so that's one thing ticked off. I've done some searches on the net and found it is a common problem round the world with new gen tablets not playing flash videos. How pathetic it is for a large company to release a tablet which can't play popular sites straight off the net like youtube ! ( luckily for them it comes loaded with the youtube app, but that's only one of a hundred sites affected)
There are a few cyber forums that explain how to download flash on the sly so i'm working on that now.
