Hi all, some of you may be experiencing problems because of the recent upgrade by YouTube and other sites where you can't watch YouTube videos or streams even after upgrading to 10.3 and running Internet Explorer 9 (IE9). I've had the problem for days now and I've just located the problem. This is what I did to fix it:

In your browser Go to Tools, Manage addons and look for Shockwave Flash Object. Make sure it is Enabled. I enabled mine and you don't have to restart you browser just go to YouTube and refresh and away you go. :D

The Add-on Flash Object is essential for the Flash player to work but don't know why it is disabled as I never disabled it so unless its done as a security precausion as it enables Active X then I don't know. Hope this helps some peeps out there.
