| 665083 | 2008-05-02 22:23:00 | Hi folks. When I go to You Tube in IE7 Pro I can open the web page okay but when I click on a video I get the following message - "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player". So I downloaded the latest Flash player and still get the same result and error message. However I have no problem in viewing the videos in Firefox. Surely if JavaScript was turned off I would not be able to view them in FF. If however JavaScript is turned off how do I switch it on again. Any suggestions would be helpful. Ta Smithie |

| 665084 | 2008-05-02 22:25:00 | You went here (www.adobe.com) to update the flash player? Even if you did do it again, restart IE and try again. If it still doesn't work, reset IE to defaults, update flash and try again. You could update Java (www.java.com) for the sake of it if you felt the urge too. |

| 665085 | 2008-05-02 23:41:00 | Thanks wratterus for your reply. What happened I received an email with a URL for a video on you tube. When I clicked on it, Internet Explorer opened the web page opened okay, but showed that message in my previous post. Where it said "get the latest Flash player", this was in blue and when I clicked on it this web page opened - www.adobe.com I successfully installed the Flash player but as I said, when I tried again after that still the same error message came up. The flash player you referred me to was for FF. Smithie |

| 665088 | 2008-05-03 00:31:00 | I had what I thought was javascript issues when trying to display google ads (from adsense) on web pages including my own sites. In fact it was the windows hosts file, where there were references to google.ads and other links which would not display the ads (i.e. referring to the local host 127.0.0.1 - hence showing nothing, so I removed those links). Perhaps the same might be occuring with the youtube videos? Maybe check your windows hosts file (research a bit by searching on Google) for similar issues that might refer to youtube videos not displaying... | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 665089 | 2008-05-03 00:38:00 | Check whether you have Java and/or Flash turned off in Tools>Manage Add-ons in IE7. | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 665090 | 2008-05-03 01:25:00 | Thanks guys for your replies. wratterus - Yes I have tried a random YT and it still showed the error message Speedy - Yes from effie C in F1 k c - Will have look at what you suggest. feersumendjinn - Checked and both are turned on. Easiest will be to make FF my default and we should be okay. But that still does not solve why it is doing it I E. Smithie |
