If you are still having problems with IE 8 or which ever one you have, then download Mozilla Firefox and use it instead of Explorer. I did it and everything works fine, videos and all!

Great until you turn UAC back on again......What now?

Re: Vista: Getting Adobe Flash Player to Work | Microsoft Vista | Tech-Recipes

I have tried absolutely everything to get flashplayer 10 working.
Once I enable UAC again, I'm told I don't have the latest version. But I do! It's there in Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash folder.
Going slightly mad....

This drove me nuts for weeks - here is the answer as it is a script issue not flash

Vista Users
1. Go to start and type msconfig
3. Go to the Tools tab, scroll down and select "Disable UAP" and click the run button.
4. You should see a command prompt open and it will say "Command completed successfully".
5. Reboot
On your keyboard, hit Windows key and R key together.

Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll

Click OK.

If you see the message "DllRegisterServer in C:\WINDOWS\system32\vbscript.dll succeeded," you are finally free of this irritating problem

cheers

I too have been having a problem getting Flash Player to load on my laptop. I even contacted Toshiba tech support and my personal computer "guru" and they could not assist. I have had 5 different techs trying to remedy my problem with Vista and the 64-bit problem. By reading all of these comments, I was able to change my Internet Explorer to the 32-bit and Flash Player loaded like a charm. Why did the techs not know this simple trick of selecting the 32-bit program over the 64-bit program? Maybe because it is too SIMPLE for their technically programmed brains! Thank you all for your comments and assistance! I may keep this new laptop now.

thank goodness for boopsie 2 months ago!!!!!!!!! i was ready to beat my pc with a hammer until i saw this response below:

I have Windows Vista and I've tried everything in the book to get Adobe Flash Player to work on my computer. I finally got it to work by following these steps:

Open your Internet brower and select:

1) Tools >
2) Internet Options >
3) Programs >
4) Manage Add-ons >
5) Make sure that your "Shockwave Flash Object" is set on "Enable"

I hope this works for you too!
It DID work for me, too!

I have done this as well and I still get the message that I need to download flashplayer (player 10, the new one). Its there. The computer recognizes it. I see it. The world knows it is there. Only when I want to use it, no go. I must say, this is very purplexing. Im about ready to just absolutely freak out. What can I do. I just want to play youtube videos.
