Adobe Flash 9.0.124.0Not working

Hi
I'm another of these frustrated users:
We sold a new Acer notebook to a customer a week ago. There is VPH and Office 2007 Home on it, nothing more (everything German versions). The customer complained, that his favorite sites don't work as Flash Player doesn't work

- whenever we visit a site with F.P it says please install, install runs through, but nothing happens
- used the Adobe uninstall
- used the Microsoft cmd ..
- we cycled that in different sequences, rebooted etc.
- we switched off all IE7 security settings, protected mode, warnings
- we set Internet zone to lowest security, activated all scripting, downloads etc.
- we switched off firewall, antivirus software etc.
- we activated the admin user account (with admin rights of course ...)
- we deactivated UAC

- > it does not work, since a week we are vasting our time with a customer in my hairs

is there anything we can do except the 4lb hammer?
Thanks
Chris

obabaa, we all get frustrated at times, however, calling Darren or anybody else in the forum names is not the way to get results. In fact, that behavior begs for the Abobe folks to just disappear.

Please lighten up!

Darren, are you idiot!? Stop repeating this is not an official support and pm you instead!!

We have said millions of times and the same on all my colleagues's pcs, Visa+IE7, flash player DOESN'T WORK! firefox is fine though.....

We've tried all ur stupid ideas: uninstall, reset, run dos, install, registry, option-security..... 10 times aLREADY!

I ...
... installed the uninstaller and ran it
... installed SubInACL and ran it
... re-installed Flash
.. checked the settings in the Internet Options.

It's still not working in IE 7. It works fine with Firefox though. ( And I don't use Vista, I use XP)
I also contacted Darren McNally, but haven't received an answer (yet). ;) I don't know what more I can try...

Hello: I just decided to upgrade Adobe flash player to 901240 by uninstalling the old version via adobe uninstaller!
Everything seemed to install great. In the add/remove programs, I now have the Adobe Flash player Active X 9.0.124.0 and the Adobe Flash Player Plugin 9.0.124.0
My problem is I go to "You Tube" and it states >>> Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player here.
I do not have Java Script turned off and I do have the latest Adobe Flash player installed.
I am using Internet Explorer 7 and firefox browsers, any suggestions please, Thanks

PS: It worked fine before the upgrade

It seems to me that Adobe should supply a correct Flash Player for machines running Windows Vista & IE7 versus pushing a registry hack. I would guess that most people, including myself, should not be messing with the registry keys.

I just solved the Mac problem. It turns out there was already info here:

http://www.adobe.com/go/4aa64290

I uninstalled, then repaired permissions using Disk Utility and it worked fine. I don't know why the new version of Flash messed up my permissions, but it would appear my issue was different than whatever is plaguing the other inhabitants of this thread.

I also use IE and firefox. When I go to the download page and try to click the agree and install button, it acts like it is going to do something and then never does anything. I have uninstalled all adobe flash programs, plugins, etc. and tried to reinstall. sais it's there but nothing works. I am personally trying to view stuff on MTV.com Even on there it gives you a link to download and it doesnt ever do anything.
My system has never worked so I tried to upgrade, didnt do me any good, I had the same message from mtv that the youtube message says.
HELP!!

Here is what I have found with this issue. It's not just on youtube, it's on anything that requires flash when bringing up the site. For example, pizzahut.com, wwe.com.

Here is what I did, I reinstalled the player, works great until I restart my machine. (Core2 Quad HP with Vista Premium). Once I restart the puter, all the sites that have flash will ask me to install flash but when you go to your programs, it's there.

Darren, is this just a problem with Vista machines?

Thanks for your help?

Hi Darren,
I couldn't use the option for private message.
I follow the instruccions but, it didn't work. Actually the reset.cmd didn't update any records.
