I just upgraded to IE 7 and find that You Tube videos no longer play. I get this error:
Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest flash player.
I downloaded the latest flash player per the instructions. I also have the latest Sun Java virtual machine installed.
I have looked in IE 7/tools/Internet options/advanced and don't see any outright references to JavaScript.
I see some cryptic references to scripting in tools/options/security/custom level, but nothing about JavaScript per se.
What do I need to do to view You Tube stuff? I had no problems at all until I updated from IE 6 to IE 7.
You Tube won't play with Internet Explorer 7?

YouTube videos are embedded in a Macromedia Flash application. They have nothing to do with Java or with Javascript.
Maybe your firewall isn't allowing Flash into IE 7. Just a guess...

Well, I solved my own problem, but I don't understand why it ever started.
Googling for the error message I got shows that I have a lot of company.
I had to uninstall and then reinstall flash, but that is not an easy process. I failed to uninstall a half a dozen times using the uninstall file and Flash refused to reinstall correctly. When I looked in Windows/system32/Macromedia, the flash player was still there. Apparently, you can't simply overwrite existing files--you have to get through the uninstall somehow.
Eventually, I did a system restore and deleted all my temporary Internet files and was able to get the old Flash off my system and install Flash 9.
The problem had nothing to do with Java or firewall settings as far as I can tell.
