Diego_Sideburns Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Whenever I try to watch YouTube videos or Channel M, I get a message stating "you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player". I have checked and my Flash Player is the latest version, so how do I make sure my JavaScript is turned on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Control Panel > Java > Java (Tab) > Java View (for 'Application Runtime Settings') > Make sure a tick under 'Enabled' and Apply/OK through the dialogue boxes. It might not completely be a client problem though Diego. In the past such sites like the ones you've mentioned, it's the client side firewall that won't allow the streaming data, because the server code won't allow it. But this can be remedied client side until the code gets patched. Set your firewall settings to whitelist these sites for the time being. Or if your looking at uk.youtube check out the www.youtube site instead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Windows firewall? Mmm, strange - it's pretty forgiving. Update your java platform, reboot and try again. http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end I uninstalled the Flash Player and re-installed it and it has done the trick. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
