Please can someone explain to me in real idiots language how I can enable my computer to watch videos?

Question

I used to be able to watch videos on youtube, now I get the error "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player." If I click to get a new version of Adobe flash player, it goes to the website but when I click to download it, nothing happens. I'm really rubbish at computers so if someone could explain it step by step I would be really grateful!

Answer 1

Ok best way for this is go to START, CONTROL PANEL, INTERNET OPTIONS, then click on ADVANCED TAB, there you can check if javascript is turned on.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Ok, first of all, click here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/fla...

It will download and install automatically the latest version of Adobe player on your pc.

If it still doesnt work, might be a Javascript problem. A little more complicated to solve, but not too much. Go here for a clear guide: http://www.americanfunds.com/help/turnin... and follow the directions for the browser you have.
