Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.42.34 is the newest version, is that what you're currently running? Are you by any chance running browser addons that block scripts?

If it's offering to fix or download Java or flash for you, DON'T!! This would most likely be an infection waiting to happen.

Do all Youtube videos have the same message or just certain ones?
BTW --- why don't you have an Anti-virus program running? :shock:

 

[steve1981]

yea Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.42.34 and after it downloads all the addon from the current page have red X and only popup blocker is the one from my internet explorer 8

lol this ones easy! you are using x64 version right? If so use the internet explorer 32bit browser. The only time i see the message you are saying is cos i accidently launched the internet explorer 64 bit version

You might also try installing Firefox 32bit and see if flash will work with that browser.

Run in compatibility mode with XP

whats a level2 browser and will that work with my ie8 64bit

 

[steve1981]

will this work
First...
Internet Explorer (32-bit) is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
Internet Explorer (64-bit) is at C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
Browse to the proper Program Files folder and create a shortcut to that version of iexplore.exe
- - -
Then, using 32-bit Internet Explorer, download these files:
1. Download and save to the desktop the Flash Player Uninstaller
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe
2. Download and save to the desktop the Flash Player Installer
http://www.macromedia.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_ie
- - -
Then...
Right-click the uninstaller and run it as administrator.
Restart.
Right-click the installer, unzip it and run it as administrator.
Restart
- - -
Then...
Verify that 32-bit Internet Explorer is opening by default.
When you right-click the IE icons in the Quick Launch area, the Start Menu and the desktop then choose Properties, what's in the Target field?
(From an earlier post by Peter Csaszar)
Targets should be either:
Internet Explorer (32-bit) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
Internet Explorer (64-bit) "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
Modify those Targets to be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" (include the quotes) and the 32-bit version of IE8 should open.
To create a shortcut to 64-bit IE8, for occasional use, browse to the iexplore.exe file at C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe. Right-click iexplore.exe and Send To> Desktop (create shortcut.) Rename that shortcut so you know it's the shortcut to 64-bit IE8.
To verify that 32-bit IE8 is the default, try this link http://www.microsoft.com When the browser opens look at Help> About Internet Explorer. If there's no mention of 64-bit, the 32-bit version is the default. If you've disabled the Menu bar, you will have to right-click the IE toolbar and put a check by Menu Bar to see "Help.'
- - -
If you are, in fact, opening 32-bit IE8 and are unable to install Flash Player, post back. That issue should be fixable

Steve, I just edited my post above yours.

its really as easy as using your 32 bit internet explorer, then following the flash instructions! but yes of your previous post i would just use Internet Explorer (32-bit) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe". On my win7 there is two shortcuts in the start menu already, one for internet explorer 64 bit and one that just says internet explorer, i use that one if im gonna need flash.

i just notice the two short cuts also and i unistalled flash player and reinstalled it with the 32 bit ie and still the same problem with youtube

Make sure your browser accepts cookies. If you're using IE8, some people rolled back to IE7 to make it work.
