A few days ago my computer starting giving me this message when I would go to you tube and some other web sites:

Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.

I checked the flash player sight and I have the latest version...Still nothing...I went to the Java sight and I have their latest version...I then uninstalled flash player and reinstalled it...Still nothing.

Does anyone have any other tips I can try? I checked my Java control panel but don't see any way to turn java off/on.

Could it be spyware? Scan it. Spybot, AVG, something...

Tried all of the above...Still no luck!

Try uninstalling and reinstalling your browser.

At camp a few weeks ago I heard about a virus? that once infected would not let you watch youtube videos. Thats all it did . would not let you .



Get the latest spyware or virus software and run on it.

I may be asking a stupid question here, but, what browser are you using?

If you are using Firefox, do you have NoScript installed? (I think you can look by going to Tools->Add-ons and see.) If so, then you have to allow JavaScript from youtube.com or else it won't work. I run NoScript here (to keep out the riff-raff) and it's kind of a pain at first, until you get all of your "regular" sites added to it.

If you aren't using it -- http://www.noscript.net/ if you wanna check it out.
