    I was using You Tube the other night when this message popped up:
    Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.

    Strange i thought, i didn't turn off my java and my flash player was working fine the previous night. I then tried to install Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.22.87. It says it needs two minutes to install but mine seems to be done in only 3 seconds?? Anyways, i doesn't work becos i still get the same message appearing on youtube and other websites.

    So how do i get my flash player to work, and whats the correct way to check if my java script in on? I checked the 'advanced' section of internet options and everything seems to be ok there.

    I'm at a loss. Any help/suggestions would be very much appreciated

    try unistalling the player first then use a registry cleaner there are plenty of freeware ones ccleaner seems to be quite good. Next reinstall the player (this worked for me once) alternatively try system restore to return your system to a date when it was working. If you installed any plugins to browser disable them then try again

    Hmm. is activeX enabled. I had this same problem a few weeks ago and for some unkown reason Ie decided to disable all activeX. Turned it back on and it was fine.
