Can someone fix my problem? I can't watch youtube videos due to an Old Adobe Flash Player or Java Script.?

Question

Ok, so here's the problem, I can watch some youtube videos but some videos require me to download a new Adobe Flash Player or do something with my Java Script. Here is what it says when I click on a video that needs the requirements : "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."

So I downloaded the new Flash Player and installed it, not once but 21 times. -_-.

Basically, I think that I need to do something with my Java Script, and that's when I need your help. So can anyone help me with this problem? K thanks <3 =]

Answer 2

javascript is usually turned on by default...so, it might be your flash player is outdated..

you can try a different browser...

these will help you...

1. Use Opera browser, it will load faster and smoother,  and re-install latest flash (the correct way)

get the latest flash player, and install it.. make sure all the browsers are NOT running during installation... this is the right way to install the flash player.

by the way, the javascript is turned on by default.

OR..

2. It could be due to slow connection or high traffic.

Try watching it during off peak hours, the video will be smoother.

Or you could watch it offline smoothly... try using &#039;zillatube&#039; .

It works well - Just google search &quot;zillatube&quot; to get it.
