hi there everyone,
i have the latest flash installed, and the latest java installed, and yet i
can not view any websites like YOUTUBE and others demanding flash.
The message displayed by these sites are all the same, here is the one that
YOUTUBE gives me:
"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of
Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest flash player."
when i get to the flash installer page, it shows me a spinning logo and says
that its installed.

Is this just a simple setting i have turned off somewhere? its really bugging
me now, Please can any one help!!!!!
thanks

same damn problem I was probably having...When using IE and deleting temporary
internet files it disables/corrupts/removes proper function of the adobe flash
player....You can reinstall all night long and it will claim a "successful"
installation but, it is not....YOU MUST FIRST UNINSTALL ADOBE FLASH PLAYER
USING THE ONLY TOOL THAT WILL DO THIS WHICH IS THE FLASH PLAYER UNINSTALLER
FROM THE ADOBE WEBSITE....BE SURE AND SAVE IT TO YOUR DESKTOP BECAUSE YOU WILL
BE USING IT FOREVER.....Once you have used the uninstaller program you can then
successfully and truthfully download the latest adobe flash player.......WILL
SOMEBODY FROM ADOBE FIX THIS!........[/B]

[B]There seems to be an "object" in the temporary files object folder that is
NECESSARY for proper Adobe Flash function?..see for yourself...tools-internet
options-General-Settings-then click view objects.....here it is:

{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}

When you clean out your temporary files this goes with it and your flash will
NOT operate...you can try and reinstall it all night long...your
dead...nothing....you must FIRST GO TO THE ADOBE UNINSTALLER and run that
program to uninstall COMPLETELY the flash....Having done that, you can now
install the flash and this time it will take......[/B]

So what is Adobe/Macromedia doing about this???

This is ridiculous. In tyhe age of Privacy/Safety - who doesn't clear the
temp/temp internet files???

BAD MOVE!!!

This has been frustrating me for quite some time and found nothing about it
till now...

BAD MOVE!!
