Guest Millie Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Hi I'm trying to open a video on You Tube and I get this error message: 'Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player'. So then I try to download and install the latest Adobe Flash Player and it never installs. Is this something to do with Windows XP? -- Millie
