Are you downloading by manual?

Try saving it to the desktop then installing from there!

I have the same problem, but it was after yesterday that i applied those new patches maybe that its causing problem, i dont know what to do, maybe we need a new flash version for vista, and for instance ie7 and flash at vista can load youtube before, after yesterday it only appear this i dont know how can i fix it =/

update: here its the solution

Go to C:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash, and run FlashUtil9b.exe

I have RCN and still have the same problem. I uninstalled the flash player, downloaded the latest and reinstalled twice, still no luck. Seems like this is a common problem as of late. I wonder if it's a problem with the latest version.

Go to the 'Safari' pulldown (upper left corner) and hit 'reset Safari.' It's that simple, if you have learned how!

I'm using firefox... and flash won't work in IE either, and when I play GTA IV, the initial screen that comes up requires flash 9 or above, but doesn't work. However, if I go to most websites, flash games tend to work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled with no success, same issues.

Very simple fix,
Just open up C:\WINDOWS\system32\macromed\flash
From there run FlashUtil10b
Or FlashUtil9b , depends on the flash version you have.

Hope that helps you it certainly fixed my same problem
Good luck Camm

Wait, what do you mean 'open' where do I go to open this? I'm a bit confused. but the thing is I'm using an older version of windows. I'm using ME. I've got flash to work before, but I can't remember how I did it. I remember installing Java and then Flash then it worked, but when I tried again, it didn't work at all.

IT a lot of cases this problem is due to having ad blocking set to ON in your anti virus software. turning it to OFF will fix the problem. Hope this helps

Hey i have a problem to.. every time i download java it says it has encountered a problem putting it on and some times even though it says that it still works but i every time i upen up my browser i have to download java like 10 times for it to finally work so i can watch youtube and stuff. And about the flash player it says i cant download it because i have a 64 bit browser and i need a 32 bit browser. anyway does anyone know whats wrong with that stuff because that stupid java is really annoying i have to download it every time i open my browser just to watch youtube n stuff.

I had the SAME PROBLEM!! I TRIED EVERYTHING TO FIX IT....THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED!

I checked many times to make sure all my "settings" were right....they were.
Then,
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both java and all adobe software TWICE....I even disabled my internet security in case it was some ad-blocker problem...still, it would not work.



THIS WORKED...and although you probably think you already did this, TRY THESE LINKS....THEY HELPED ME.

The first one to go to to unisntall JUST THE FLASH PLAYER ONLY is:

http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14157


Then you have to reinstall the FLASH PLAYER by going to:

http://www.adobe.com/...

This really did work. I was pleasantly surprised after spending an entire afternoon trying to find out why I couldn't play flash videos although my java was turned on and I had all the latest updates. Hope this helps you, too!!!
