If you're using Internet Explorer, click tools>internet options on the toolbar. Click Security tab and click Custom Level button. Scroll down the list to Scripting of Java Aplets and click Enable. Click OK back to browser window.

Dear Ron, I done it but still can view the videos. Is there any tester to see if my javascript is running properly?

You can test if javascript is working at this site:

If the javascript test fails, you may have to check your security software to see if it's set to block javascript. Are you logged in with on account that has the right to install Flash and change security settings in IE, and run javascript?

You may have to reinstall Java and/or run a windows system file check (sfc).

Done the test and it shown that my javascript is working OK. But still I can't view the videos and in my blogger's site i cant load pics as the link is blocked.   Yeap... I am using an administrator's account which has all the rights. Could this be the problem??? could i had set some setting wrongly???   Anyway... Could u tell me how to reinstall java or run a windows system file check?   Cheers!

If javascript is running ok, then you may have your security settings too high and that's blocking things. In Internet Explorer, go to tools>internet options
Click Security tab
Click Restricted Sites, and make sure the sites you're having problems with aren't listed.
Then click Internet and click Default Level button
Move the slider down a notch or 2 to lower the security level just a little. Don't go all the way to the bottom or you'll disable too much and be open to malware infections. Click OK back to desktop, try the sites again.

If you're running something like Zone Alarm firewall, you'll have to look through those settings too to see if your sites are being blocked.

I don't think windows system file check will help since javascript is running, but it can't hurt:
click start>run
type in: sfc /scannow
(space betweem sfc and /)
click ok
insert XP CD if sfc requests it; reboot when it's done.

You may also want to talk to tech support at your ISP to see if they have some ideas too.
