first of all i hope i got this in the right forum.

i have had this problem on my win xp with ie7 intalled and now once again i am haveing it on my win vista

ok whenever i try to watch a video on youtube i get
"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest flash player."
i have both installed and verifyed just that through the apps web sites

i have had this same error and a system restore fixed it but yesterday i deleted all but my most resent system restors (because i thought nothing was wrong with my computer... how wrong was i

ps
i also get a flash not installed error on urge in windows media player 11 and i CAN still play flash games!

I have the same problem. Even though I have downloaded and installed the latest versions, Vista is saying "no I don't"

heres what you can try for the javascript problem on ie 7 go to tools, manage add ons where it says show click it change to add ons used by ie7. if you dont see java plug in redownload it install it restart computer. or check tools internet options advanced scroll down till you see java (sun) make sure its checkmarked. the latest version of java is 1.5.0 update 11. as far as the flash player problem check in your control panel the add/remove programs look for adobe flash player 9 active x 2.33 mb if you dont see it its not installed. go to www.softwarepatch.com and look for adobe flash player stand alone version. download and install it. then go back to your add/remove programs and you should see adobe flash player 9 active x with the size listed then you should be all set. i hope this helps.

And if that doesnt work .. and i hope it does try this
use the uninstallers from here for both flash and shockwave players and reinstall both

I am having the same problems but the suggestions form this post did not work for me. I am using vista so I am sure that is the problem but I also know people who have vista who arent having any problems with flash so who knows. Are there any other fixes out there to get this to work?

I am having a similar problem except I am using Windows XP. In addition to having problems with certain videos on youtube I also cannot get my BBC Ticker to work. I never used to have problems before so I can't imagine what the problem is. This is the message I get when I try to use my ticker though:

There is an error with Flash Player 8, or it is missing. Please quit and re-install Flash Player 8 for Internet Explorer.

Another weird thing about this that I just noticed is that I am using Firefox, not IE. I don't know if that would make a difference but I figured I might as well mention it.

Another problem I am having with this is that I have previously had flash working with this pc with vista but I had to do a restore and since then can not get it to work. I found these suggestions on a message board which worked for alot of people but not for me.
They also told me I am not in as an administrator but under my name it says I am and I am the only user so how do i know for sure?
