I've had this prolem with youtube. Apparently the problem (in this case) is with the website not recognising the latest (Flash)install/update. I fixed my problem by downloading the latest 'full' Flashplayer from http://www.softwarepatch.com/internet/flash.html
Hope it works for you too.
Leo I recently discovered your site and I love it,

I have a problem and hope you can help. I ran Norton Antivirus live update on my son's laptop.
Now he is unable to open email in Outlook. I got a browser error message that said to enable Java scripting and applets and cookies, which I did. No sucess, it still doesnt work. Any suggestions?

I tried what you said, and had no luck. I was able to use flash n' everything before when I got my computer a few months ago. But recently it's like it dissapeared, and I tried installing it a billion times, and got nowhere. I heard about AVG affecting it, but i don't have AVG installed either. What do i do, it's driving me NUTS!

Finally, I found advice that really worked. It may have been a combination of steps. I (1) followed Leo's advice about enabling Java Script, then (2) used the download from this site: http://www.softwarepatch.com/internet/flash.html. After a reboot, a website that had been driving me nuts played just great. Thanks for having this advice!

This was very useful but did not help me. Flash used to work on my computer but has now stopped and won't download properly or work. Have you got any ideas as to how I could dowload Flash successfully again?

This page: http://ask-leo.com/why_wont_flash_work_even_though_its_installed.html
does not fit on my screen resolution. Can you code it so that it fit any size I choose to have on my monitor? Thank you.
