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?

-Hello-Pbland21 you might want to try this. The part listed below about clearing your browsers cache and cookies is what worked for me. I tried disabling the ad blocker but that didnt work.Good luck hope it works for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

Yes the problem for me was firewall, i have norton so it was a simple right click disable, a link pops up asking how long just click 5 minutes but when the video is over (if it hasnt been 5 min.) right click again and click enable bringing your norton protection back up immediately.

If all else failed, then try this, it worked for me:

Method 1: Reregister Jscript.dll and Vbscript.dll
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type regsvr32 jscript.dll, and then click OK.
3. Click OK.
4. Click Start, and then click Run.
5. In the Open box, type regsvr32 vbscript.dll, and then click OK.
6. Click OK.

My OS is Vista and browser is IE 7. I have no probelm watching video from some of the website ( www.thestar.com ) but I cannot watch any video on toutube unless I dropped the firewall in my internet security. When I click on the youtube video all I got was a blank screen. When I right click on the screen I can see message "Movie not loaded.... About Adobe Flash Player 9....". I did all the suggestions that were posted but nothing happened. I have a laptop with Vista OS and browser IE 7 and I can watch youtube. I compared the Flash Players and found out that the Flash Player on the laptop was Flash9b.ocx and on the desktop was Flash9e.ocx. Could this be the culprit? Where can I get another copy of the Flash9b.ocx?

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!

If I make my table 100%, it writes over the float: right for tables where the content text is long enough. 2.) If I...
