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,
greetings from The Netherlands.

leo the site is great but i'm still having problems with javascript, i have enabled it in the settings for ie7 as described but the website i go on says it is not enabled. help please

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?
thank you

This didnt help me much.i had the same problem and added this and asbsolutely nothing still.........

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!

hey i have done the thing with the enable the Active Scripting but it still does not work. What is the problem i keep getting the same "You either have javascript turned off or you dont have the latest flash player" Help please

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!

I am able to have flash videos work in dreamweaver preview for flv and swf and once uploaded niether is visible, I am able to get QT to run
any ideas?
thanks Steve

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?

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.
