Cannot view Youtube or anything like that

Mazspeed · October 19th, 2006

Every time I view one of these sites I get a message that says I need to download flash 9, but I already have it. Every time I go to the download site it says that I have sucessfully downloaded flash9 player, but I then go back to the sites that require it, and still nothing. What can I do to fix this?

when you installed it did you shut down the browser and reopen it. Also what you might want to do is clean your cookies, browser history, temp files, and temp internet files out. That might help.

Hey Johnny. I did all of that several times. I deleted then reinstalled the browser. My other browers like Mozilla work fine, but I have everything in IE.

Did you try to install the stand alone, instead of installing the plug in from the site ???

I looked for one, but could not find one. Know any place?
Thanks for helping BTW.

Adobe has the flash player now since they took over Macromedia so try downloading from them. Make sure you untick the box about Yahoo toolbar unless you want it.

hmm, have you been trying out regseeker? The same thing happened to me after running it. it ruins the ability to see flash

I started to experience a problem that would make the browser crash when it entered some sites that required flash. The getflash activex addon would fail. To solve it, I just went into my addons adn disabled it .. It seems to be working a little better now ..

I also had exactly the same sysptoms as you. There is a fix that worked for me. Get and run the Flash Uninstaller from here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowled...fm?id=tn_14157

then simply reinstall the player from here:http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/downl...ShockwaveFlash

Good luck

Hey guys. Doing what Stripey told me worked perfectly. Thanks again, and thanks to all for the help as well.

Youtube only works when it feels like it on my machine with IE7, was working two days ago for one day.

uninstalling/reinstalling doesn't help.
