Both youtube and Limewire won't work for me anymore and I don't know why. I downloaded both recent Java and Flash downloads. What can the problem be?

Hi Jim, glad to know your back up and running on Youtube. The problem seems to be when the internet security program automatically updates your internet security software and thus blocks Youtube videos from loading (for some reason) and you need to disable internet security and refresh your browser to compensate. Because how can Youtube videos load one day and not the next when you haven`t even changed any settings? That`s my theory anyway.
Thanks everyone! This thread really helped me out! *kicks norton*
:)
youtube stopped working for me yesterday. i have followed everyone's directions on how to fix this problem and nothing has worked for me.
i uninstalled and then reinstalled the newest version of flash even the one from that patch website. i have tried youtube through both explorer and firefox. i restarted my computer, as well, after reinstalling flash.
i made sure that the javascript is on and even added youtube to my trusted websites.
i do have norton security and have tried completely disabling it, including disabling the ad pop up blocker, and NOTHING WORKS!
i am so frustrated....i don't know what else to do.
i followed all of the suggestions on the youtube help section on how to fix the problem and nothing works.
please, does someone have any other ideas? i'm gonna lose my mind!
I couldnt help but laugh when i read your post. Im going through the same exact problem you have. Glad im not the only one. Ive been so frustrated all day trying to figure this thing out. I think im suffering from withdraw symptoms without my youtube. Mine was working fine until yesterday and now every video i click on says "you either have java script turned off or an old version of adobe flash player installed" so i checked to see that my java script was enabled and i uninstalled my flash player then rebooted my computer and installed the latest version of adobe flash player. Still doesnt work. I tried the youtube help center and did exactly what they said. Didnt work either.I then contacted youtube support and they directed me back to the youtube help center which is what i had already done so i went to google and found this website and have tried a few things i read on here. I completely disabled my internet security and popup blockers,adware , spyware and still nothing works. I also downloaded the windows flash player 9 active x control content debugger for ie and of course that didnt work either. I havent tried the software patch yet so i guess thats next. If anyone has any ideas please advise.Thanks
This was posted on the youtube site today and I've been working to fix this all afternoon. It worked.
http://youtubestatus.b logspot.com/2007/10/system-alert-error-javascript-turned.html
Ive disabled all of the ad blockers but it still isnt working. Youtube says they are working on this problem so maybe its something that they need to fix instead of me
i patched & updated everything as advised, did'nt work.
Turned off ad blocking in norton & now you tube works again.
Thanks for your email. We have found that users with ad-blocking software enabled may not be able to see videos due to a conflict with our flash detection code and may see this error; "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player." Our engineers are working on resolving this issue as quickly as possible. In the mean time, you may want to temporarily disable ad-blocking in your browser or security software.
Also, in case you’re trying to revert to the old version of the video watch page, follow the steps below:
1. Log out of your account.
2. Clear your browser's cache and cookies.
3. Relaunch your browser and try watching the video in question.
Hope this helps,
This worked for me guys you may want to give it a try.
I don't know what is going on. I am starting to think that youtube needs to be fixed and not me trying to fix things my end. Oddly for months I could watch some videos and not others. I could get by without too much inconvenience. About a week ago I thought I'd try to resolve the problem. I accidentally deleted my flash and nothing worked and I couldn't download from the link provided by youtube then I saw I could download and open the zip version and I was back to how things were, ie, being able to watch some videos and not others. I had followed the steps to see about javascript but it was already enabled so I gave up and figured what I could watch was better than nothing at all. I found that I couldn't watch videos by warnerbrothers channel. But three nights ago oh no it all just stopped working. I uninstalled and restarted my computer and installed and restarted again. I put youtube on my safelist, allowed popup ads. I did everything I could think of and it still wouldn't work and I couldn't contact youtube to explain, it just redirected me back to the help center and click an option from multiple choice, no reply. I went on myspace and what wait, I can view youtube videos embedded on myspace but I can't watch youtube videos when I click on the video on youtube. What is going on there? Also I can play the one video featured on people's channel above their video list if I just click play but I can not watch that same video if I click on it in their video list. I really think it is something with the site and hope they fix it soon. I am just embedding video codes on myspace so I can continue watching right now but can't wait till I can watch directly from youtube so that I can save and comment etc

What a nightmare! I too, could not help but laugh when I read that other people have been experiencing the same problems with youtube videos. Several have posted that they have fixed the problem by removing ad-blocking software/installing Flash 9/software patches/etc...and of course nothing has worked for me. If anyone has had any success with resolving this problem, I would be most appreciative if you shared.
Thanks,

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...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
