    Everytime I try and play videos on my t61, it says "you either have javascript turned off, or and old version of flash player, click here to get the latest version" I have downloaded the latest version many times, and it still says the same thing. I am running firefox 3 on my lenovo t61, but when i use IE, it works fine? Any tips? O ya, i have checked to see if java script is enabled in my firefox browser

    I had the same problem with youtube videos a while back when they upgraded which flash player they use (but I am not using Firefox 3). I simply installed the flash player they wanted, it didn't work. So I restarted my comp and then it worked fine. XD

    So if you haven't restarted since then you might need to. I'm not sure why it didn't prompt me to after install, but I think that you may need to restart anyway.

    Hope this helps!
