Youtube and JavaScript and XP

[Ross M. Greenberg]

And for some reason I am not able to watch any videos on YouTube.com under
Vista but have no problem under XP on this dual boot machine. Under Vista
it tells me that the JavaScript is disabled or that I need a new Macromedia
Flash player, but I have removed and reinstalled JavaScript and the Flash
player but to no avail.

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks!

Ross

That seems to be a common problem, as I have seen it a lot in the past
few days.
The answer is the "Windows Flash Player 9 ActiveX control content
debugger (for IE)", which you can get from
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html .
Download it, run it, and your Youtube videos will play again.


Kind regards,

You used Disk Cleanup > Downloaded Program Files.

This breaks Flash, until MS or Adobe fixes it.
