    Hi,
    My flash player (currently primarily used for youtube) suddenly stopped working and the little warning message told me that I either Javascript turned off or an old version of flash player. I checked and Javascript is on so I think it's probably the flash player.

    I tried to install the new version about three times and was told each time that it had successfully installed. I went back to youtube everytime and was told that it still wasn't working. I then uninstalled Flash player and reinstalled it. Still not working though.

    I was using IE for most of this, but I've also tried it with Firefox and Safari and still can't get anything. (OS= Windows XP).

    Does anyone have any ideas as to what else I should do?

    Thanks.

    Try reinstalling the browser flash player activeX plugin as well as the latest flash player version.

    Try reboot after the install.

    It's working now, Thanks.

    Still have no idea why it suddenly started working again, or why it went to begin with.

    I have a problem with flash not working also. I trace it back to when i updated flash. Sites such as skysports.com give me error messages when trying to view flash content, prompting me to install the latest version. I have re-installed firefox and flash on several occasions with no luck... I do not have this problem with all site, but it is not isolated to one all the same.
