3. Download the Flash Player ActiveX installer from this direct link:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe

7. Try YouTube again.
Note that some assistive technologies can block Flash content, e.g.
there's a JAWS verbosity setting that blocks Flash:

So make sure your assistive technology (if any) isn't interfering with
Flash.
Hope that helps.

Hi,
I'm trying to watch a video on youtube and get the message that I either
have javascript turned off or an older version of flash player. So I
try to download the latest version of flash and have problems. I untick
the checkbox saying download google toolbar, tick the checkbox saying I
agree to terms, and click download. Then the beep meaning Internet
Explorer is blocking something happens, and I go to the information bar
or whatever it is and click install activex control. Then it seems like
the page refreshes and that beep happens again, but this time there is
no warning about an activex control. This happened too when a sighted
friend tried to do it - there is definitely no warning the second time
despite the beep noise.
I only installed flash pretty recently so I'm inclined to think that's
probably not the problem anyway. I was watching yout ube videos fine
before I upgraded Internet Explorer. So I wonder if the problem is
javascript switched off. I went into Internet Options in the security
page and changed settings I thought might be relevant but this hasn't
made any differences.
Has anyone got any suggestions either about installing flash or changing
javascript settings? Which specific setting do I need to look at? Any
other ideas?
Thanks,
Catherine
