IE 9 UAC prompt, w/ Adobe Flash
So I install the new IE 9 final version on my 64 bit 7 machine. Now, whenever I get to my first page that uses Adobe Flash, I get a UAC prompt to run Adobe Flash. Do I really need to provide UAC with credentials to run Flash?

Yes, because for Flash to install, it requires it to make changes to your computer. Programs that make changes to your computer require permissions to run as Administrator, which they are not granted automatically.

Flash is already installed.

I'm getting prompted every time to allow the content to run, though Flash was already installed with version 8. Practically every couple minutes I have to grant UAC to run Flash.
Are you prompted every time it runs? In order for it to run inside of IE9, it would have to register itself as a plug-in for IE9 ... to see it once would not be uncommon, but you should not see it more than once.
That's not normal, and not a bug generally with IE9, as mine has had no such trouble.

I uninstalled Flash Active X. Visited Adobe, and was directed to their Adobe Flash Player "Square" Preview Release. Installed this. No more UAC prompt. Speedtest.net's flash-based bandwidth test works. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ doesn't display anything. Better but still weird.
A thought ... you are using IE9 64-bit, then? Try running the 32-bit version (or download it if you downloaded 64-bit) ... 64-bit is still not fully supported, endorsed, or recommended by Microsoft, as many add-ins (including Flash) do not exist for the browser. The "Square" preview is a "beta" version of a 64-bit version of Flash Player.
