youtube help
I used to be able to watch videos on youtube with no prblems until a few days ago, now i get a message which says:
Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest flash player.
When i click on the link the new flash player appears to download successfully but the youtube still gives me the same message. I haven't changed any settings since watching videos on youtube so I don't know if java script could be turned off but how do I make sure it's turned on?
Thanks

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.there was one java box which was checked but said restart next to it so i restarted the computer and still no luck. I've now reset my internet explorer settings and made sure the flash player is still installed, gone back to the advanced settings but there aren't any java options in the list anymore?!!
Suggest you download the Java software from :-
http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp
Your problem should then disappear

One more thought. Could it be just the Youtube site which is giving you the problem ? To test this theory, click on the following link, whic gives a demo of some Java applets. If they display correctly, then there's nothing wrong with your system.

When you say "displayed correctly" did you see the ripple effect ? Another site you can try, to confirm that Java is working, is the ADSL speedtest page at :-

I am not certain whether this will work, but have seen it listed in various forums as a possible solution.
Go Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the Flash Player. Then reboot your computer and goto www.adobe.com and install the Flash Player again. Apparantly when the newer version is installed over an older version it sometimes does not install correctly, removing the old version first may fix the problem.
Before installing make sure all other browser windows are closed - having other browser windows open sometimes also causes problems with the install - it reports that it installed correctly but, in fact, it did not.
It may be worthwhile rebooting again after the installing the new version.
