I'm trying to watch videos on YouTube and it's saying I either need to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player or I have my JavaScript turned off and I've installed the latest version of Flash Player and I've made sure my JavaScript is on and nothing changes. What's the problem? I've never had any problem viewing anything, but lately it's been saying the same thing on a lot of websites but I haven't changed anything.
