Enabling javascript in IE

[ChrisR]

I periodically download sample tutorials. After removing a ZIP utility I tried for a while, I can still unzip them but can't "run" the .html file now.

message:
"The Camtasia Studio video content presented here requires JavaScript to be enabled and the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player. If you are you using a browser with JavaScript disabled please enable it now. Otherwise, please update your version of the free Flash Player by downloading here. "

I downloaded the player, but same message. Where is Javascript en/disabled in IE? I looked in tools/options but couldn't see it.

Thanks

Yes, fresh download , same result.
files downloaded before i changed the unzipper work ok.
The Unzipper I was using was Winzip, which I stopped usiing because it gets slow if you don't pay for it! I removed it using Control Panel.
Some other unzipper miust be working now, cos the same-looking bunch of files gets produced as before. One of them's an html file which I assume linked to the flash file. Before i just clicked it and the flash "lesson" played, now I get the message above.

Try this....


Explorer 4.x

* Go to "View | Internet Options..." from the main menu
* Change to the "Security" tab
* Select "Custom" and click on the "Settings..." button
* To enable: make sure "Enable" is selected under "Active scripting"
To disable: make sure "Disable" is selected under "Active scripting"
* Restart the browser

Thanks, that was the one I thought existed but couldn't find. But everything is enabled, pretty much. No restricted sites.. Grrrr.

IE6, by the way.

No solution yet. Also have a Topps Tiles instruction disc which plays on laptop but not on this computer. It gets as far as the intro but when the video should start , whether Windows Media Player or some other viewer, all I get is a black subscreen within the frame.
Online mpegs etc play OK.

Any ideas?

wrong player

I dont know what happened but i couldnt watch a particular dietcoke and mentos clip I could watch the new one but not the old, so i re downloaded quick time, i can watch it agin. point is clip was made for quick time, not media player.
perhaps you have the same problem

 

[ChrisR]

That ran - asked if I wanted to use Quicktime as standard for this and that , all ok. Two tonnes of Mentos and CO2 plant on order.

May be due to a DLL error - have made new post.....

Java is not javascript.

They are two separate things.

Javascript is scritping language

and Java is an object oriented programming language.
