A Ridiculously Annoying Problem

Glaurung · 06/03/08, 04:58 PM

I've noticed that every once in a while, when I want to watch something on YouTube (not Google, or any other site, just youtube), a message is displayed saying that I either have Javascript turned off, or need the latest Flash player. This is ridiculous becaue this message has showed up recently, right after I watched a vid, then clicked on one of the related videos. Do I have a virus of sorts? I'm usually good with computers,(usually because everyone I know (save a few people) is terrible with them) but I'm stumped. PLEASE HELP!!! I cannot live without Youtube!!

Just enable your Java then. If you have Firefox:

Tools > Options > Content and make sure the 'Enable JavaScript' and 'Enable Java' are both checked. Then try again.

If you haven't updated your flash in a while, just update it.

If it still doesn't work, then:
1. Go to the folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
2. You should find a file that is named "FlashUtil9d" Double click it. Something should come up saying there is an update available and it will download the update
