Get IE7
Go TO http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
and download and run Windows Flash Player 9 Active X control content debugger for IE. I also downloaded the Flash projector content debugger for windows just for good measure...

This really works, okay I stole if from fingers in above thread but agree with linkinpark4life (except band ref), that it's been killing me. Friday nites in drunk havent been the same without youtubeoogling vids.

thanks fingers - ps output sound to home theater and pc display to flatscreen and you wont ever have to buy music again! youtube is the greatest site, enjoy the music vids before it becomes chargeable

It looks like it has been resolved. Post # 22 & #24 (yours is #25) both say that installing Adobe Flash 9 should do the trick (if it's not a Java installation issue).

Sorry I was browsing this subject because my computer is having the same problem with youtube but theres something I feel I really need to correct here. There is absolutely no association between Java and javascript. Javascript is an internet browser programing language, where as java is a complex programing language made by sun microsystems and is closely related to c and c++. youtube uses javascript for some dynamic stuff where as limewire is made with java. deleting all the java off your computer won't effect things that use javascript to run at all but will prevent java apps and executables made in java from working.

Sorry. I should have said "JRE" installation.

Not sure if everyone figured it out or came up with a solution but I just did some trouble shooting and it turns out my Norton 360's Ads/Popups blocker was enabled. (It can be any other Ads/Popups programs). So if you have any programs that blocks Ads/Popups, turn it off or add the address to your unblock sites. Well, I hope this will help for some of you. Good luck.

Go to a Youtube video that you know does not load i.e. (Javascript is not running) and then, turn your firewall "OFF" (don`t worry it`s only for a moment) then go back to Youtube and click on the video that would not play, and now it should load. You may also have to refresh your browser (to refresh, go to the view menu).
Then go back to your firewall and turn it back "ON".
I sussed it through trial and error.

Hello, I recently had the same problems with youtube. It was working fine 2 days ago and then all of a sudden stopped for no reason. The message your javascript is off or you haven't got the latest flash player kept appearing. Even though I had the latest version and javascript was on it still appeared with this message. I read in one of the previous posts by HuntAnAlien that it was the firewall causing these problems. I disabled this and then reloaded the page and it worked fine. More correctly, I disabled my internet security completely then reloaded the page. After further investigation it turns out that it was just ad blocking that was causing this problem as mentioned by InternetGeek above. I'm currently using Norton's Internet Security, is this the same for you guys?

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...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
