Can't play Yahoo videos

So far the only major glitch I haven't solved is why I can't play
videos on Yahoo. I"ve got Vista Ultimate. Macro media is installed
as is quick time. Any ideas?????

RE: Can't play Yahoo videos

Adobe's answer:
Run a standalone version of Flash Player ActiveX installer.
Flash Player does not install correctly for some users:
You must uninstall the ActiveX Flash Player and then install the
standalone version if you are affected.

ActiveX uninstaller:

Re: Can't play Yahoo videos

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it and it still didn't work. Yahoo
troubleshooter says that the APple Quicktime isn't right. I installed
the latest but there must be some issue. I see that APple claims it's
not compatible.
