Running YouTube Videos?

I can’t run YouTube videos anymore. When I try I get the message:

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

I have Internet Explorer 8. I have installed the latest Adobe Flash Player. It still doesn’t work. How can I fix it?

Update:

How do I know if Javascript is enabled? It doesn't appear to be as simple as clicking on one button.

    javascript is usually turned on by default...so, it might be your flash player is outdated..

    you can try a different browser...

    these will help you...

    1. Use Opera browser, it will load faster and smoother, and re-install latest flash (the correct way)

    get the latest flash player, and install it.. make sure all the browsers are NOT running during installation... this is the right way to install the flash player.

    by the way, the javascript is turned on by default.

    OR..

    2. It could be due to slow connection or high traffic.

    Try watching it during off peak hours, the video will be smoother.

    Or you could watch it offline smoothly... try using 'zillatube' .

    It works very well - to get ZillaTube, click the link below, and select the first search result for download...
