Also, I have tried the troubleshooting on adobes site but nothing has worked. I have turned on the prompts for when a downloads starts. I have turned on flash JavaScripting in the internet options menu, but nothing is working.

Hi

I have uninstalled both flash and shockwave and then reinstalled both, I rebooted my computer and it is still not working.

This is the message from youtube: Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.

From cnet.co.uk: Loading carousel ... you will need Macromedia Flash Player 8 to view this content! Download Here!

Thank you for the help

I have had this happen so many times and for no reason

Try and reset all your internet options back to default

Have you tried with another browser ??

 

[OneHope]

No I have not. I do not want to use another browser, I would like to fix IE so that it works with youtube and other flash based sites.
