    Hi again!

    Hello again! I have a few YouTube videos that I watch/listen to now and then, but all of a sudden I can't do so and I get the following message:

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

    Being a moron where computers are concerned, can you please tell me what IS JavaScript? I know I have Java installed, as one or two news sites that I visit require it, but JavaScript? I have no idea. Is there some way I can check to verify whether I have it installed? And if I do have it, but turned off, how do I turn it on again? Or if I haven't got it, where do I download it, as well as Macromedia?

    I was told to uninstall my old version of Flash Player, which I did, and install the latest version, but for some odd and inexplicable reason it doesn't install... Now I'm totally "confussed," as my daughter would say.

    Sorry to pester you with these seemingly silly questions, but I really am in the dark. Will appreciate your input! Thanks!

    Yes, follow Musksnipe's link and do what Compuable said to do in his/her post in that thread = works like a charm - make sure to do exactly as the post says, or it won't work!
    Blessings,
    Jim
