Switching Java ON?

People

I've recently come along a problem involving YouTube; none of the video's will load anymore. It says this:

"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."

Anybody know what is happening?

I've downloaded the latest version of Flash Player, and in addition to that I've also downloaded the latest version of Java, I have tried my best to try and solve this problem myself. My YouTube video's were working fine until about 2 days ago when I don't know what happened; my 9 year old cousin was showing me some YouTube video's and while searching for one he must've messed something up and now it doesn't work anymore .

I think Java isn't turned on. Anybody know how to turn Java on, or the solution to this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I didn't know where else to put this type of thread in, if this is the wrong forum for it please kindly tell me and if Mods have to move this thread, then so be it.

Thanks in advance. eace:

:thankyou:

If you are using XP the easiest way would be to use the restore feature and just go back to a date that it last worked on. Caution tho, You will loose any programs you installed after that date.

Go to internet options then I believe its security tab then custom level. Turn scripting on and see if that works.

Can you give me exact instructions please? There are LOTS of scriptings, I’m afraid I’ll mess my internet settings up without precise instructions

Again, sorry for any trouble caused.

No troubles at all! It should be active scripting. You'll want this enabled then click on OK. Hopefully that will work for you.

Active scripting? Oh, found it. Was already enabled . This is the whole Java list:

Active scripting>Enable
Allow paste operations via script>Enable
Scripting of Java applets>Enable

Thanks a lot for trying to help anyway eace:

:thankyou:

Go to start on your PC.

Click run

type in msconfig

click OK

Hmm..Found something.

If I go on Tools>Internet Options>Security>Custom Level...

Microsoft VM>Java permissions>(Click) Custom...It opens up "Java Custom Settings"...They are as follows:

.Run Unsigned Content: Run In Sandbox

.Additional Unsigned Permissions>Access to all files: Disable

.Access to all network addresses: Disable

.Execute: Disable

.Dialogs: Disable

.System Information: Disable

.Printing: Disable

.Protected Scratch Space: Disable

.User Selected File Access: Disable

.Signed Content>Run Signed Content: Prompt

.Additional Signed Permissions>Access to all files: Prompt

.Access to all Network Addresses: Prompt.

.Execute: Prompt

.Dialogs: Prompt

.System Information: Prompt

.Printing: Prompt

.Protected Scratch Space: Enable

.User selected file access: Enable

Do these need to be changed?

First of all I'd like to thank you a lot for your attempts at helping me, I greatly appreciate it.

I restored my computer, but same thing .

I'm going to try and restore it a few further days, maybe even a whole month back.

Thanks again! eace::thankyou:

I restored it as far as a whole 26 days back, and no luck. Thank you Woodrow and JeffX for your efforts to help me, greatly appreciated .

Anyone else have any ideas on how to solve this?

I'm probably going to PC World tomorrow and see if they can do anything there..

Delete your cookies and cache in your internet options tab. That might work.

Also what security software are you using? Some may have a feature that blocks ads as well as mobile code that could be blocking the videos.

If you have tried both of those steps above are still having issues playing videos, try clearing the browser cache and cookies on your computer.
