Youtube not working, Javascript problem?

I'm getting this error when trying to watch anything on youtube.com with IE7
"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of
Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest flash player."

Well I have the latest version of flash installed, all the defaults are set
on IE7... Any advice on fixing this?

 

I had the same issue with a fresh install of Vista. I had installed flash
and in fact when I clicked the link to get flash the site even said Flash
was installed and working.

I googled for a stand alone install of flash I downloaded it and installed
and youtube worked.

 

Google runs off Flash, troubleshoot accordingly

Google video works fine with flash. Myspace wasn't able to view flash
though. I Yahoo'ed (I prefer Yahoo search to Google...) My error and got the
answer here:

near the bottom of the page I ran this:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/flashactivexinstaller.exe

And now flash is working perfectly in IE...

 

I meant Youtube, sorry.

Well I meant IE becuase IE is the browser that would not show videos on
myspace and youtube. Maybe I should have said 'using IE to view flash videos
on myspace and youtube'...................

 

I have Flash 9 working for Ubuntu linux in Mozilla, Firefox and Konquerer.
Same goes for Sun Java 1.5.0-11. Both were easy to install, just a matter
of putting a symbolic link to the bin in each browser's plugin directory.
Only thing I haven't worked on was to find a plugin for .wmv videos.

Hi all,

I am having trouble with Flash on Vista with both IE & Firefox.

If Flash is installed, it works fine (tested with YouTube) during that particular session.

Once I reboot the system, Flash goes away, and a reinstallation is required. Every single time.

Any ideas?
