Alright Youtube is telling me I need to either enable Javascript (Already done) or get the new version of Flash player to watch videos. I already went through the whole uninstall, reinstall flash process and it's still not working. Can anyone here help?

Do you have javascript enabled? What's your browser? What OS? Boxers or briefs? Do you believe in Santa Claus?
Give us something to go on here..

Your soul isn't pure enough, you'll need to upgrade it to at least Soul 6.4

hmmm, the "www" ones don't seem to be working either.

Do you see a little yellow banner appear just under your address bar, telling you about Active X?

What web browser are you using, what OP?

Okay have a look in Tools\Options\Add On's and make sure that you have flash enabled.

I went to options in ff, but the only thing I can turn on and off is Javascript, I don't see a flash optian anywhere :(
(my menus are in dutch so it could be that I was looking in the wrong place, Extra => options => whatever comes then)

and here (http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/)I can see that I have flash installed (so I guess it's enabled too?)

Heh never assume.

In IE 7 it is Tools\Internet Options\Programs\Manage Add-On's

In firefox try Tools\Add-on's

You need to go to

tools/internet options/

go to the Advanced tab and then check the option that says 'Get a life'

ok, I tried it in IE and I got a long list of "add-ons used by IE" amongst which I also found "shockwave flash object" which was turned on.

When I try to do the same in FF i get a list of things like these (https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/recommended).

It is usually underneath the 'Sell your soul to Microsoft' option
