I got the same problem too but I have JavaScripting on

Here’s how to turn it on

Find the “Internet Options” option in the menubar of your browser (it’s probably located in the Tools menu). Click on the “Security” tab. Make sure the “Internet” globe icon is highlighted. Click on the “Custom Level…” button to bring up the security options for your browser. Search through the menu for the “Active scripting” option. Make sure “Enable” is selected. Click the “OK” button. Close this window and click the “Refresh” button of the page requiring Javascript.

edit: nice to see im not the only internet retard on here lol

Do you have a third party firewall, ie symantec firewall? If so, turn it off.

i’ve had the same issue with some vids in the past couple of months, but as of yesterday: everything.

thought i’d get it on the next reformat, but meh - i’d rather not do that, i’m lazy. tried all of the above, how do you fix this?
