Can't view certian videos and flash with Vista

Since I updated to the new Windows Vista Prem, I also have the latest version
of Macroflash player installed and javascript on "enable", but I can't view
videos (ie YouTube). Does anyone know how to correct this?

Thanks to anyone who can help!

RE: Can't view certian videos and flash with Vista

I went through similar pain. I hope what follows helps:


To Get Flash Player Working:

Install Flash Player when prompted (don't worry that it won't yet work
properly)

Vista (32bit) go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed folder

Vista(64bit) go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed folder

Open the folder and right click on ‘FlashUtil9b.exe’, then left click ‘Run
as Administrator.’ The Flash Player installer should now start and once it
completes, Flash Player should work and appear on the uninstall or change
program list.

This issue is related to how Windows Vista's security features prevent
applications from changing registry settings (even if you are logged in as an
administrator) you must explicitly allow programs to make certain changes to
the registry.

Regards
