Error When Trying to Watch YouTube Videos
Subscriber Rebekah wrote to ask:
How do I watch videos on youtube it just says my firewall is turned off or get flashplayer
Having your firewall turned off would not (1) be wise or (2) prevent YouTube videos from working.
I think the error message Rebekah saw is the one about JavaScript, which reads almost like the message she indicated. When you have JavaScript (called ActiveScript in IE) turned off, the error message is:
"You either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."
You can turn on Javascript easily with a few mouse clicks, although the procedure is slightly different for the different web browsers:
- Internet Explorer: HowTo Turn On ActiveScript (JavaScript) in Internet Explorer
- Firefox: HowTo Turn on JavaScript in Firefox
- Opera: HowTo Turn on JavaScript in Opera
If you want to update your Flash player to the latest version, you can do that by downloading the latest version at Adobe Flash Support Center — Downloads.
