Hi….. Of late I find that I am unable to download videos from You Tube, seems to coincide with the time I started having trouble with Java Script errors -that I inquired about on 17th August. See screen shot of error message. What might be the cause & are there any settings that need to be reset to restore this handy feature? Regards Dave.

Thanks Gents…. for putting me right on this matter, though I was attempting to download a video -the source of which IS in fact You Tube – the link to it is on another web site. I was unaware that one had to be actually logged on to You Tube to perform such an operation. I have just logged on it and the download went ahead without a hitch. Thanks again Dave.
