Java problem. No videos online will work at all.

[James132]

Hi, first i was just having trouble getting on some websites that needed java (game websites, ect...) now when ever i go to youtube it won`t even show a video. It says i need to get the latest Flash Player... and i`ve tried downloading java several times and it just won`t work.

As in on my about:plugins page says....

:confused:

Have you installed flash for your machine? Open synaptic and Search for flashplugin-nonfree.

Agreed. Java and Flash are two completely different things.

If after installing flashplugin-nonfree youtube still shows that you need the latest .... Open again synaptic and mark flashplugin-nonfree for resintallation.It's helped for me.
Good luck.
