The "no click to activate" is actually a patch rather than an extension, and may well not be needed now anyway.
You're welcome to have copies of the other two, YouTube Center and AdBlock.
How would you like me to get them to you?
Cheers, Dave.

Just tried again and it signed in instantly!
Thank you so much!
Cheers, Dave.

Anyone?

Well that's annoying if it's true.
I can't see any reason for them to do that unless a change has been made to the sync system at the server end which has made it incompatible with Opera 36 for some reason.
Is there anyone else still using Opera 36 who can confirm if there really is a problem or whether it's just me?

I noticed the other day that my installation of Opera 36 on my old Windows XP machine had logged out from sync.
Now I can't get it to log in again, it just shows a progress rotating circle icon permanently.
Has anyone else noticed this, and is anyone else still logged into sync with this version?
I hope it hasn't been blocked because it's now deemed to be too old!

@blackbird71
LOL, yes I guess so, Josh has a style all his own!

I for one would not keep something as old as RealPlayer now though, when VLC is far more up to date, and works fine on my XP system.

@joshl
I have absolutely no idea what you mean!

@aam2018
I've been using it for ages on Firefox, and I've never thought that there was any problem with it.
It works well, especially on sites like Vimeo, Facebook and Instagram.

@joshl said in File types & Downloads:

So what do you think the problem is with those mp4 videos not synching properly? Lack of MPC updates? Windows drivers? Processor deficiency?
Sometimes I use Firefox to "open with", it opens in my MPC and doesn't synch, then I have to stop and close it, go to the 'temp downloads' folder and rename the mp4 to mpg and start it again - now it goes with my WMP and o'k.

Did you try installing VLC?

RealPlayer hasn't been updated for years, and was always a resource hog in my experience too, so I would certainly get rid of it.

Right.
Just browsed through my Programs panel in the "Start" menu - didn't find the "Uninstall" option. Found RealPlayer in the "Installing and Deleting Programs" thing: should I proceed there?
How deep must this player thing be rooted? Anything to expect?

Yes, just uninstall it using the Add/Remove Programs dialogue.
It will probably leave loads of cr*p behind, but nothing of any consequence hopefully.
