Same here but I don't have AOL. YouTube refuses to play in IE or Firefox. I have tried the downloads mentioned above but that did nothing. I have a whole bunch of css errors in the Firefox error console if that matters. Videos will load and play for 1 - 2 seconds with no sound then just stop with no error stated anywhere that I can see. It's bizarre - it used to work fine and then just stopped. I use W2K and IE6 (only because it has to be there) and do not do any unnecessary updates. It works on other computers on our home network with the same setup.

I've just been starting to have this problem where sometimes, some youtube videos that I have been watching the whole time without a problem, all of a sudden wont play beyond 2 seconds. It looks like it downloaded the entire footage, but it just wont play. But this doesn't happen all the time, just a few videos will do that.
And I've gone through both AOL and Internet Explorer with the same result.Comment

I'm experiencing the same difficulty. I was able to view selected videos at one stage and a few hours lately, those videos were stuck on "loading"
I have gone through all the steps. It has nothing to do with the web browser as I have both IP and Firefox and they both experience the same trouble.
I took my modem cable out and plugged it to my lap top, I figured a computer with different settings might do the trick, but still to no avail.
So obviously it's got to do with the service provider, but apparently there is nothing wrong with the connection speed. So I have no idea what the problem is.Comment

Get IE7
Go TO 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...
This really works, okay I stole if from fingers in above thread but agree with linkinpark4life (except band ref), that it's been killing me. Friday nites in drunk havent been the same without youtubeoogling vids.
thanks fingers - ps output sound to home theater and pc display to flatscreen and you wont ever have to buy music again! youtube is the greatest site, enjoy the music vids before it becomes chargeable

It looks like it has been resolved. Post # 22 & #24 (yours is #25) both say that installing Adobe Flash 9 should do the trick (if it's not a Java installation issue).Originally posted by pmterminatorComment

Sorry I was browsing this subject because my computer is having the same problem with youtube but theres something I feel I really need to correct here. There is absolutely no association between Java and javascript. Javascript is an internet browser programing language, where as java is a complex programing language made by sun microsystems and is closely related to c and c++. youtube uses javascript for some dynamic stuff where as limewire is made with java. deleting all the java off your computer won't effect things that use javascript to run at all but will prevent java apps and executables made in java from working.Comment

Not sure if everyone figured it out or came up with a solution but I just did some trouble shooting and it turns out my Norton 360's Ads/Popups blocker was enabled. (It can be any other Ads/Popups programs). So if you have any programs that blocks Ads/Popups, turn it off or add the address to your unblock sites. Well, I hope this will help for some of you. Good luck.Comment

Go to a Youtube video that you know does not load i.e. (Javascript is not running) and then, turn your firewall "OFF" (don`t worry it`s only for a moment) then go back to Youtube and click on the video that would not play, and now it should load. You may also have to refresh your browser (to refresh, go to the view menu).
Then go back to your firewall and turn it back "ON".
I sussed it through trial and error.Comment

Hello, I recently had the same problems with youtube. It was working fine 2 days ago and then all of a sudden stopped for no reason. The message your javascript is off or you haven't got the latest flash player kept appearing. Even though I had the latest version and javascript was on it still appeared with this message. I read in one of the previous posts by HuntAnAlien that it was the firewall causing these problems. I disabled this and then reloaded the page and it worked fine. More correctly, I disabled my internet security completely then reloaded the page. After further investigation it turns out that it was just ad blocking that was causing this problem as mentioned by InternetGeek above. I'm currently using Norton's Internet Security, is this the same for you guys?Comment
