I had the same problem just now!

My solution: choose any video, press ctrl+F5 on your keyboard and magic!

Hope it helps as it worked for me ;)

For me, It's as if the videos are picking random days to play, because on somedays, I can watch a video, but on another, It wont work. I have no idea what the problem is, but I can tell you one thing,
ITS F*CKING PISSING ME OFF!!

PS. the Wii still works :P

Still the same for me here as well. Tried it all. Even my techie friends are at a loss. Sudden loss of YouTube is still a puzzle. I give it a hopeful try from time to time, but no luck. I bought a small ASUS EEE a few weeks ago with Linux and Firefox. I have no problem with YouTube on it. I would prefer to access it on my 22 inch monitor rather than the 7 inch ASUS screen, but I'm happy with what I can get. I'm going to keep checking here on this forum. Surely, it will be solved. I agree, too, that it's frustrating not to be able to contact YouTube.

Thanks so much I had tried everything, but you're suggestion worked, I have an old version of Norton 2003 which I update every year. For those looking for Ad Blocker just double click on the firewall symbol and it will come up with the menu and you can then see Ad Blocker and turn it off temporarily. I'm now going to see if Facebook works because that has been giving me similar problems.

Thanks once again.

It worked! I had been completely turning off Norton which is current. That only worked to watch videos I had saved to favorites at YouTube. I tried turning off only "ad blocking" and now YouTube is totally back in action after all these months! Can't believe it. I will still continue to look in here to see what's happening and if there are changes. Thanks everyone.

As far as I can tell yes. I went to Java and flash media and downloaded the most recent ones. How do I make sure my javascript is turned on? My Limewire did start to work though YouTube still isn't playing videos and still has same error message that either my java script is off or I need the new flash macromedia player. I have the new flash. I'm at my wits end.

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 have a form that takes several seconds to run the javascript needed to prepare the form for PHP (selecting all items in a Select Multiple).

FireFox3 does not seem to update the page until all JavaScript is done executing, so after the few seconds of nothing happening, then the button is disabled and...

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...
