linking from A2K to You tube

I have been unable to access you tube from A2K links such as this. I get a page of script instead of the usual video.

I have checked with one other A2k member and he tells me the links work fine.
I recall being able to access you tube at other times via A2K links.
I am able to access and view you tube and play videos directly via my (firefox) browser.
I have no trouble with links to other web pages.

I am running Windows Xp serv pack 2 (auto apdate) and etrust Internet security suite. (firewall and AV).

Does anyone have any suggestions before I start messing around?

Hi Dad

You say you see nothing but script - do you see the youtube page with script where the video should be or just nothing but script?

What happens if you just go to youtube's home page and browse for a video?

The player is FlashPlayer v8 - is that what you've got? Another possibility is that .swf extensions on your machine aren't associated with Flash.

Also their pages use a lot of javascript - is your browser allowing javascript to run on your PC?

As I can go to the home page, browse and play any video, that I have all the necessary software and updates.

Also their pages use a lot of javascript - is your browser allowing javascript to run on your PC? yes

That seems awfully complicated. I think I'll just posts url's.
