Both youtube and Limewire won't work for me anymore and I don't know why. I downloaded both recent Java and Flash downloads. What can the problem be?

Does your browser have javascript enabled then?

[alienmojo]

As far as I can tell yes. I went to Java and flash media and downloaded the most recent ones. How do I make sure my javascript is turned on? My Limewire did start to work though YouTube still isn't playing videos and still has same error message that either my java script is off or I need the new flash macromedia player. I have the new flash. I'm at my wits end.

I'm having the same trouble, I have up to date versions of Java and Flash, and Javascript is turned on. It used to work at one point and suddenly it doesn't. But I've tried all I can think of and still YouTube will not work in IE. Going to install Firefox now and see if it will play there.

Oooooo yeah now i remember having that problem with having all the updates and my internet explorer still didnt work... but all i did to fix the problem was to goto control panel and goto add/remove programs then i went to internet explorer 6.0 and then it asked me if i wanted to unistall or repair well all i did was click on repair and suddenly my internet explorer 6.0 was working correctly.
Well i hope that fixes yall problem.

Go to this site:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
and download and run Windows Flash Player 9 Active X control content debugger for IE. I also downloaded the Flash projector content debugger for windows just for good measure. It works fine now.

The same thing happened to me. It started yesterday. I did nothing to cause it. I even put all my security on the Tools of internet Explorer down to low. ugh!
I don't know if this is a coincidence or not. But I got mad and went to control panel and uninstalled all the java. (I wouldn't suggest this as web pages need it). However. I reopened internet explorer and you tube now play. Strange. I have no java on my computer now and it plays, yet I got the same message as you regarding java.
As a note to this. The java.On the microsoft site, there was a notice that they are no longer using Microsoft java. It is now Sun Microsystems java. I noticed over a month ago my computer was acting sluggish on the net. Almost like too much was running. In addition, I get many messages about my virtual memory running low and if I am blogging, it all crashes. I also noticed tonight that the little coffee cup was running in my tray - indicator of the Sun Microsystems JAVA.
For some reason, this java program seems to suck alot of memory. I have deleted it and now that I have no java, to my knowledge, you tube works. any suggestions for new java and where to get it??? I need it for other programs I would imagine.
Try it once. Someone on a group also told me to try to restore my computer. And another also suggested firefox.
None of us are alone I see many messages saying exactly the same. Try unintalling the java with coffee cup symbol in control panel remove programs. Believe or not it worked, or it was a coincidence.

After several tries, I discovered a very simple solution for the youtube videos problem:

Just go to this website: http://www.softwarepat ch.com/ Search for flash player

and download and install this file. I guess the problem of everybody is because the link on youtube´s website downloads a "non functional file ". this is my personal opinion........

This new .msi file will solve you the problem and you can decide to use IE, or FIREFOX or whatever browser you like most ! All the programs will work again.

Good luck
