Andy - youtube doesn't use Java, it uses Flash.

Youtube recently upgraded to the latest Flash player.

If you've gone to Adobe's website and still can't view the vids, then go to control panel, add/remove programs, and uninstall "Adobe Active X control". Once it's uninstalled, go back to Adobe.com, download the latest Flash player, go to youtube, and bob's your uncle

did that already i keep getting the message you either have java scripts turned off or you dont have the latest adobe flash player
ive reinstaled it several times

And you've actually uninstalled it first from the control panel? And restarted your comp, then installed it again from Adobe's site?

For some reason reinstalling it sometimes doesn't work, you have to uninstall the activex program first.

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