Vista - Registry repair?

I can't view anything on YouTube or greeting cards on 123 Greetings. When I try to view on YouTube I get a message that Java is turned off or I don't have the latest version of Adobe Flash (I do!) I checked my Java and it is running perfectly.
I went to Adobe site and the FAQ say that it must then be something wrong with my registry. OK... so how do I fix that?

Restore Windows ( if a point before the corruption occured still exists), or Repair/Re-install Windows

System Files - SFC Command
System Recovery Options
Repair Install For Vista

If you want a registry program use a program like auslogic bootspeed, it has reg repair built in,

I just downloaded a registry cleaner called Advanced System Care which claimed to repair my registry. I still get this message when trying to view YouTube files:

Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.

your not using the 64 bit version of internet explorer are you?

I have no clue. It says Version 7.0 6001.18000 Cipher Strength 256 bit

I could always view YouTube before... this is very recent that I can't.

You can only do it with the 32-bit browser.
This is the default brower in Vista.
start> IE at top

32-bit Vista does not have a x64 IE7 browser.


You probably have a corrupted Version of Windows (due to reg cleaners/malware)

self diagnostic

sorry i see from yuor specs yourusing 32 bit vista i didnt check there earlier

Is this easy to use? I'm not a pro (can you tell?) If it just brings up stuff for me to sort through... I would not know good from bad.

try a system restore first (to a point before issue occured)
Start>in search bar type, restore>click program

Itll give you a system self diagnostic (i.e., "fine" in green), If red, then that needs further investigation. Simpy attach to post.

or download and scan with full program:http://www.eset.com/download/free_tr...wnload_eav.php
