Vista and youtube?

Darkaber · 10 Feb 2007 at 13:48

Hi there this is a silly Q i know but im trying to watch some vids on the youtube site but whenever i go onto the site i keep getting this message - Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player -

I know i have JavaScript tuned on and have the latest flashplayer so any ideas what could be wrong?

Work for me too. You simply need to go to macromedia site and install the latest version of flash for your browser. If you are using ie x64, there is no flash availible for it yet.

I am having no problems using Vista Business (32-bit) and Firefox. Does not seem to work in IE7 though...

This happened to me. I solved it thus:

Go to Adobe's install flash page. Follow the link to the support page and how to uninstall flash. Uninstall, then reinstall flash.
