Adobe Flach Player
I've been tryin to inslall Adobe Flach Player with no success. I'll user youtube.com as an example: when I try to view a video, I get an error message that says, "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player." I click on the link to get the Flash Player, and install the program. The install says it was successful, but failed to register. I restarted my computer after this, but the websites still won't let me view any video content and ask me to install Flash Player
I ran an uninstall earlier to make sure that there wasn't another version of the player on my computer, but that didn't help. I've used Adobe troubleshooting as much as it is going to help me. I've running Windows Vista on an HP computer. I did allow ActiveX to run freely on my computer, but nothing I do seems to work. Please let me know if anyone knows how to fix this problem. It is extremely irritating not to be able to watch videos on the Internet from my own computer. Thanks!

No, it's 32 bit, but I don't understand what viruses and malware would have to do with it. It's an HP laptop.
Thanks for the update. I had a client machine that would not update Flash, and after some modest effort, it was easier and faster to reimage the machine from an existing image and start again. The machine now works fine. Adobe itself had a serious security issue V8 and earlier and a couple of my clients (including the one here) got caught with that.

thisis a browser related question andd not so specific to anything else,
download the flash player from adobe and then close all browsers and then instal it from the path you saved it to. this is especially necessary with firefox
good luck

I hope that idea works for the Asker. It did not for me (and that is because I think other things were wrong). .. Thinkpads_User

None of these things have worked at all.
