After having been asked to update my Flash Player, from 9 to 10... I could no longer watch YouTube.com video's, nor could I watch Myspace.com video's etc. Because every time I would try, I would get a message error stating, that, my Java Script was either turn off, or, I needed to update to the latest Flash Player... Yadda! yadda! yadda!!

And, well. Needless to say... after having dedicated most of my weekend to solving this issue... Here is what fixed it, for me anyway!! LOL

NOTE!! I too read everywhere online, that, I needed enable a couple of settings within my Internet Explorer / Internet Options / Security. THIS DID NOTHING!!

If you are running Windows Vista, and you update to Flash Player 10??? You need to download, unzip, open, and run THIS Debugger exe file from the Flash Player website.

Good Luck!! Joe

THANK YOU JOE!!!! I have been dealing with this for months now with none of the other solutions out there working. I finally just stopped using IE and switched to Firefox but there are sometimes when I really need to be logged into sites under two logins and I couldn't do it without IE working. I did this and 20 secs later..voila! THANK YOU!

Hi Joe, THanks for the tips! I tried the link and it came up with an error message " Error Opening File for Writing" while trying to setup the Adobe Flash Player Active X. I had to abort to stop the installation.
Do you have any idea why this happens? I tried to download the flash player on Adobe, and error message came up saying "operating system error"...really frustrating!

Hello,

Your link seems to have worked for a lot of people, but not for me. Perhaps it is my settings. Which settings and/or security options did you change when trying to download flash player (before using the debugger link)?

Yeah I have had the same problem with this. I have windows vista.
But does the flash player affect iTunes because that hasnt been working correctly either since i have been getting these messages about how I need to download the latest version of adobe flash player. I tried and tried but what happened to me happened to you. SO maybe go to there solution center.

I finally got flashplayer to work in firefox running Vista. Go to the folder: C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash

Right click on "uninstall activex" and run as administrator
Right click on "uninstall" (whatever the other one says) and run as administrator

Rename the folder flash.old

NOW download flash player and install (remember, install from a folder with right click, not from download) run as administrator

NOW install flash player.
It worked for me!
