Hi eidnolb, I downed my security to Medium from "Internet Properties", right? and no I don't have any Avira add ons installed.
I checked some video sites, they are all working except Youtube. Maybe a bit more lucky shots than before, but still not working.
I forgot to say before something I noticed; In other sites, blogs and other sites like that, you might find a youtube video player, the one that looks like the old youtube video player, do you know what I mean? In such sites, I found that the videos are playing normally. If that might help!
Hi BR, I understand what you are saying about being able to watch the youtube videos on another site. Now on making sure the Internet Zone is set to Medium. Go to Tools, Internet Options. Click on the Security Tab & click on the Internet and it is there that you want the Zone set to Medium. Very important. When you finish that, then delete the Cookies, offline files and Temp files.
Ok on Avira.
Now I want you to go to the TroubleShooting Guide and make sure your Settings for Javascript are correct.

I ran into a problem on my own computer Sunday evening with Java. So try to remember did you update(look in Add/Remove) Java to Update 21 from the Java site, or from a prompt that you received from them? Just make sure you have no Java in Add/Remove except Update 21.
Did you test with IE and FF here? Can you see the animation with both browsers?

We have Uninstalled and Disabled quite a bit, so I want to be sure nothing has been disturbed.
Then go to this site and clear the Java Cache, just follow the directions.

I've given you several things to do, so do each one and then let me know the results.
Thanks,
