[harleyd]

ok, when i try to watch videos on you tube its coming up saying either my java script is turned off or i havent got the lastest flash player
i have checked both and it seems to be ok
i uninstalled and reinstalled the flash player, but it still isnt working
this did happen to me before but seemed to fix itself, not this time though

tia

sometimes my bt yahoo browser does this but if i open youtube with interner explorer they work fine....then days later they re fine gin with bt yahoo...
so try IE or mozilla or something other than you are using...

i use mozilla, just tried ie but no joy, still says the same

oh no idea then move over for someone more helpful

thanks anyway..

anyone else??

anybody?

In Mozilla, if you type "about:plugins" in the address bar, it will list all the plugins. You should have one for Flash version 9.0. It have any for previous versions it may cause problems.

yeah i have flash 9 installed

im losing my temper lol

No earlier versions?

I had this problem when version 7.0 and version 9.0 were both there. It only saw version 7.0 and when I managed to delete that, then the problem went away.

no i had deleted earlier versions
but the weird thing is just 5 minutes ago for no apparent reason its started working again through internet explorer, but still not firefox
im baffled, but at least its working somewhere
thanks for your help though

I have this problem on the lap top at home, we have vista and apparantly they have very high security settings on it that prevent certain downloads and that even techies have trouble getting the settings right- I have tried everything to no avail and have given up. If someone could advise a foolproof (I am an IT duffer!) way of fixing this I would literally implode!!

yeah i have vista on this one and it drives me insane sometimes lol
never had trouble before
