YouTube Buttons Not Working?

Lately i've been having a problem with buttons on YouTube...when I click my name in the upper right hand corner, it doesn't do anything. when I click like, add to, dislike, or anything down there, they don't do anything when I click on them. Only certain buttons like pause and volume controls work. Is this a java problem or something? Thanks for any help, its pretty annoying!

Update:

Thanks for the help! My java was out of date lol.

    I recommend that your browser is up to date and free of malware.

    Make sure you have the latest Flash update at get.adobe.com/flashplayer

    Test your java to make sure it is working at www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp

    First thing I would try is using an alternative browser, for example if you are using internet explorer, try chrome or firefox, same thing with safari or opera.

    If you are experiencing these problems in all browsers, I recommend downloading a good anti-malware program from a software company you trust.

    I personally use malware bytes anti malware program from majorgeeks.com

    You could also try the AVG anti malware scan at www.avg.com

    Furthermore you could probably use a registry scan and clean. I recommend CCleaner from piriform.com

    hope this helps!

    Yes sometimes when using Internet Explorer this can happen. When I use Hotmail, sometimes the buttons won't work and if you look in the status bar at the bottom of your browser it might display the word 'Java.' But do try updating Java, and this might resolve the problem, otherwise, try another browser, sometimes it is just a problem with one.
