Youtube failure

[Dywyddyr]

After a recent hard drive wipe and total re-install Youtube persists in telling me

Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.

.
I'm using Firefox (latest download - 3.5.5) and have JavaScript enabled AND have followed the relevant instructions for getting the latest Flash player. FOUR times.
And still nothing.
Any answers?

did you restarted firefox? ;p all instances. even the "downloads".
Whats your OS?

Yup, even rebooted.

Whats your OS?

Win XP SP 2.

 

[deicider]

Although i don't use windows i remember some things.
You said its a fresh install,well after a format you need to add some "basic" software like the Installer or Framework (which obviously you installed)and several others...but you should install the latest Java too if you havn't already.

 

[Dywyddyr]

Done all that too

 

[CheskiChips]

Does it work in IE?

 

[Dywyddyr]

Nope. (Just had to check that - I haven't used IE for years).

 

[skaught]

Did you download all the windows updates from microsoft.com?

..have followed the relevant instructions for getting the latest Flash player


yeah well
there are ways and more ways

save to hard drive and run with browsers closed

Win XP SP 2.

There's part of your problem, particularly if you're using IE 6 or 7. There's just too many components websites which are increasingly incompatible with other browsers, operating systems, flash software, etc.

 

[science man]

Is your Java software up to date?

 

[Ellie]

flash is not bundled with any os' so you need to install it.

Switch to Netscape. I had same prob.

 

[Ellie]

Netscape isnt a web browser anymore. and FF has the same engine as the old netscpase

[Ellie]

[Bebelina]

Why is this funny? I mean, I agree, it's hilarious, but why?
:roflmao:

 

[Bebelina]

How do you check if someone is mooching on your internetconnection btw?

 

[Dywyddyr]

One more time: I'm using Firefox, not IE and I've followed all the instructions (i.e. installed all the latest drivers and downloads), FOUR times.
It used to work before the re-install and doesn't now.
