Since the most recent Windows Update last week I am no longer able to view
video on YouTube.com (which I've been able to view with no problem for the
past 6 months).

I get this message:

"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of
Macromedia's Flash Player, click here to get the latest flash player."

I definitely have javascript enabled in Internet Options and I definitely
have the latest Flash / Shockwave plugins.

I am also able to view the videos on YouTube just fine in FireFox.

I did some research on http://support.microsoft.com and found article 917425
which seemed to be the most likely thing to address the problem, and I
downloaded / installed the patch from there. However, this did not resolve
the issue.

Does anyone here have an idea of what the problem might be?
Thanks very much for any advice!
 
I forgot to mention my system specs:

XP Pro SP2 - Up to date
Pentium 4 2.4Ghz, 1gb RAM, 128mb ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
Internet Explorer Version: 6.0.2900.2180.xpxp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519
128 bit cipher
 
Do you have a popup/ad blocker that can be blocking the Videos? I sometimes
have tis problem wit other sites tat won't load and I just allowed that page
or disabled the Popup/adblocker
 
Thanks for the reply, but no, I made sure to disable my popup blocker and any
firewall / security software to test for that.
