Scroll down to Active scripting.
Click Enable (or Prompt). (Fig.2)

Tried all these tips and nothing worked.

I mainly wanted the Mathletics website to work for my son, but guessed most hints and tips would come from You Tube not working.

What I decided to do in the end, was update my Internet Explorer from 6 to 8, and hey presto, all videos from all sites work!

Hope this helps some one.

Thanks to fingers' post of November 20th, 2006, 08:52 AM -- the content debugger fixed the issue for me -- xp firefox and ie.

I posted a reference to this thread on youtube -- http://www.google.com/support/forum/...046f1381b308c9

THANKS!

Running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit edition

Well I tried all of the tips:

1) Tried to update Adobe Flash by going to C:\Windows\Syst em32\Macromed\F lash\FlashUtil9 d.exe and running it as Administrator
a) It updated but didn't change anything. I still got that flash/java error message

2) I Uninstalled Flash then reinstalled it and that sort of worked. More of the web page appeared (thumbnails) but I still got that flash/java error message and there was no way to update the C:\Windows\Syst em32\Macromed because the file was gone.

3) And yes, I went to the Java home page to download the newest application. Resulting in no changes.

4) I even disabled my Kaspersky and edited Internet Options and added YouTube as a trusted site. Still no change.

5) Since I was running FireFox, I tried all of the tips for it:
a) disabling Adblock did not work
b) downloading extra Java addons for FireFox didn't work

HOWEVER, I was also running FireFox NoScript and even though I was allowing content from the YouTube site, it didn't exactly change anything but when I "Temporaril y allowed ALL CONTENT" from the site, I gained full function of the YouTube Content.

On an unrelated note, I had background sound, like music, but I couldn't hear people talking. A driver update took care of that problem and now it seems all of the bugs have been worked out of my YouTube Flash/Java Error situation.

Hope this helps some of you.

If you have tried enabling your java script and fiddled with the .dll files it could be something as simple as a hardware issue try to update your video card drivers event though thats unlikely. Adobe has patches for your version of player and updates. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtzY1PP18EY I hope i that helps good luck!

I finnaly got it to work :) This was too driving me absolutely nuts, All i did was uninstall Java as i noticed i was running possibly an older version even though i had downloaded the latest version of java and tried to install it which didnt work. My advice is to try and unistall java from your computer then go to http://www.java.com/en/ and download it again. Good Luck

Ok, for anyone having this problem here is a solution I've found that seems to always work for me. I've had this problem several times, and whatever I tried before didn't seem to work, I do have the latest flash version installed after even having totally removed the old version and reinstalling from scratch the new one and also I have javascript enabled. The problem seems to be with youtube itself.

After getting fed up of searching google, I seem to have found a fix for the problem whenever I've had it, which is to delete all my Internet explorer temporary files and history pages (Under Internet explorer 8 the way to do this is: Click on Tools menu and select Internet Options, then under browsing history tick the box "delete browsing history on exit" so that it's selected, then click delete and ensure "Temporary Internet Files", "Cookies", "History", "Form Data", "Passwords" and "InPrivate Filtering Data" are all selected and click delete - Beware though that this WILL of course delete all your temp internet files and your browsing history so if you want to keep this for whatever reason don't do this but you don't need to delete your favorites links so make sure it's unticked). Once you've done this close Internet explorer and restart your PC. Youtube videos should then work on either Internet explorer or Firefox.

Hope this helps

Okay, if anyone is getting "An error occurred, please try again later" Message when trying to play a video (when you clicked on it from Related Videos), just get rid of "&feature=relat ed" on it.

Thanks for reading my first post. This is a major problem. We took our computer to get a new hard drive and everything was still intact on the new one. The only thing was that I went to Youtube and the videos weren't playing. Then, MSN and other sites had no advertisements, when they usually do. Finally, I tried to download an Adobe update, and it failed to do so. I'm running Windows XP and Internet Explorer. What do I do! Help me!

I've been banging my head against an interaction between a table and float element. I want the two of them to together take up 100% of the width of their container. If the table cells' content were to wrap around the float, even better, but that's not necessary. However, I'm continuously running into two issues: 1.) If I make my table 100%, it writes over the float: right for tables where the content text is long enough. 2.) If I...
