   Flash players do not "turn on" or "turn off".

   If you keep getting "HELLO, YOU EITHER HAVE JAVASCRIPT TURNED OFF OR AN
   OLD VERSION OF ADOBE’S FLASH PLAYER….GET THE LATEST FLASH PLAYER":

   don’t bother downloading and re-installing the latest Flash over and over and over again.
   You will get absolutely nowhere doing that, because that is only adding to the problem.

   Your YouTube was working fine just a little while ago, right?

   There can really be only 3 possibilities:
   1) something is wrong with YouTube
   2) something is wrong with your cache
   3) something is wrong with Flash 10

   1) YOUTUBE:
   ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
   Your problem may fix itself within a couple hours, or by the
   next day, because YouTube often "shuts down" a bunch of
   their own servers every single day without warning anybody
   in order to update all kinds of stuff. During those occasions,
   it’s YouTube’s transmissions of "JavaScript" or "Flash" that
   are poor — not your reception of it. This sometimes creates
   "time-out" or "run-time" errors giving that message and can
   be solved by hitting "F5", "Refresh" or "Back"/"Forward".

   2) CACHE:
   ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
   If the next day your YouTube is still showing you that awful
   "JS or FP" message, maybe your directories of "temporary
   internet files" and "cache" memory are full and cannot take
   anymore. As such, videos can’t even buffer, let alone make
   it onto your screen.

   "Temporary internet files" are 1000s of tiny bits of websites
   permanently put on your computer’s hard-drive. They’ll stay
   there forever and ever, gradually plugging up your computer
   (like hair slowly clogs a sink drain) until you get rid of them.
   Otherwise, one day your YouTube will suddenly be STUCK.

   Because your computer now has such little space in which
   to "cache" a video, YouTube will mistakenly think that your
   Java Script "run-time environment" or "buffer overflow" is off,
   or that your player is older than "FLASH 7".

   The solution to all that is to exit YouTube (but not your web
   browser), then clear your "cache" of all its "TIFs", "cookies"
   and "history". (See below.) After that, shutdown and reboot.

   3) FLASH:
   ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
   Watching YouTube vids hasn’t changed in the past 2 years.
   (If you want, you could still use Flash 8.) The newest Flash
   players are causing grief for many YouTubers — particularly
   all 8 variations of version 10.

   It’s absolutely nuts that there’s 10.0.525, 10.1.218, 10.2.26,
   10.2.54, 10.12.10, 10.12.36, 10.15.3 and 10.22.87. Usually
   most updates are good for only 1 thing:…Software conflicts.
   I’ve never strayed away from 9.47, and many "flashers" use
   9.45 still. Think of them as Windows XP compared to Vista.
   Look at what the Asker said after this Best Answer of mine:
   http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081125075929AABZpVS
   If that seems interesting to you, here is the appropriate link:
   http://www.oldapps.com/flash_player.php?old_flash_player=14

   Note 1: if you’ve got an "Accelerator", dump it, burn it, rip it,
   kick it, trash it, disable it, uninstall it; do all that you can to
   get as far away from it as possible. Several "Ad Block" and
   "Messenger" programs also conflict with YouTube.

   Note 2: some longer videos may need "Shockwave" to play
   properly. You don’t need anything else; so please avoid the
   sales pitches that some answerers are "pimping", because
   they are actually disguised salespeople & "peddlers". Their
   solution has got absolutely nothing to do with your problem,
   and their wares may actually worsen it. Besides, what kind
   of stupid answer is "Despite the fact you can’t even access
   videos, buy our unnecessary software." [my paraphrase]

   Note 3: a very odd fix that once worked for me was altering
   the URL from "www.youtube.com" to simply "youtube.com".

   Note 4: if you downloaded Flash, did you actually INSTALL
   it afterwards? If you got Firefox, did you enable the add-on?

   I hope that my info and long answer are quite helpful to you.

   you need to re-install the flash (the correct way).

   .. make sure all the browsers are NOT running during installation…

   OR..

   2. It could be due to slow connection or high traffic.
   Try watching it during off peak hours, the video will be smoother.

   Or you could watch it offline smoothly… try using ‘zillatube’ .

   It works very well….just google search for "zillatube", and select the first search result for download…
