Correct, that is what I said a while ago, on FF it works.
But now look if you have a file called FlashUtil9b in C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\flash
See if it works if you doubleclick it.

OK ..... I have tried everything, and now i figured it out. Uninstall IE and install Mozilla firefox!! it really works!! I thought it was adobe but when i downloaded firefox all of the adobe stuff started working!! if you are still having problems try firefox out.

Yes, I was the one that mentioned Java. I went back to look so I could tell you exactly what I did. And again, I really know nothing about this so I may be way off base, but the steps I took allowed me to once again see FLASH and YOUTUBE and other video and Flash sites.

I decided to delete ALL MY PLAYERS: FLASH, QUICKTIME, REAL PLAYER, and even my JAVA RUNSCRIPT JUNK. I just was going to start over and delete everything to do with flash and video.

Everytime you go to a website that uses flash or plays video it will tell you that you can't play it BECAUSE...... and that you need the lastest version of >>>> whatever.....or to enable Javascript. It tells you what you need.

So I figured, then fine, I'll delete EVERYTHING and start over one step at a time and just download what I need for any specific site and see where the problem starts again.

So the first thing I noticed was two versions of J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0, an update 6 and an update 7. I know that there can be conflicts with software, a lot of them and all the time. I also know that some updates depend on the update before that. But at the point WHO CARES! LOL I couldn't see anything anyway.

So first in line TO GO was the J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6. Then the next to go was REAL TIME PLAYER and QUICKTIME PLAYER.

I had not even UNinstalled the Flash Media Player at that time because I knew I already had the latest update -- and had updated it a GAZILLION TIMES!!! :D :D

I then went back to YOUTUBE.COM and was so surprised to SEE VIDEO!
I then went to a FLASH site and SAW FLASH! It has worked ever since for me.

So I can't recommend someone do exactly what I did, but I figure what is the harm in deleting ALL YOUR MEDIA PLAYERS -- quicktime, flash, vlc, realtime....I think that's all I had on my computer. And of course the Javascript.

You can download ALL that again without a problem. So why not clean all that stuff off and then just start over???

So that is the solution that worked for me. I don't want to just tell you that IS THE SOLUTION because it may not be, but that is what worked for me. Maybe it's worth a try???

I have had this problem on several sites, including YouTube and MySpace, and just to let you know, don't expect any help from these sites. They don't care about this problem any more than Adobe does. I have contacted Adobe and all these sites and have either received no response or a form response which is cut-and-pasted from a FAQ that I've already read. It's really just a complete disconnect and with the advancements in technology, you'd think that they'd somehow get it together BEFORE releasing and incorporating this technology.

SUCKING!

Oh, gosh, that's unbelieavable! I just thought I'd check out your ABC.com to see if I had the same problem still, but I don't. Removing Real Player from my computer seemed to have solved this mystery.

I think it comes down to a compatibility problem somewhere. I had decided I was going to remove every player on my computer and start over, including Javascript.

So I started with removing an old version of JS (v 6) and just left v 7. Then I removed Real Player. I gave that a try and it worked.

Maybe you should try removing ALL players, including Quicktime. I don't know what other ones there are, but I think this has to do with a compatibility issue. I think Flash may want to TAKE OVER the computer and media on your computer and is thus not running if other players are there.

I don't know. I'm certainly no computer expert here, but I figured for me it was worth a try just to delete everything and start over, go to my favorite site and see what it needed to play it, and then download that. And just go from there.

I never used to be able to see YouTube either, and now I can.

So why don't you try deleting all the players on your system. Sure can't hurt anything. And then as you go to a website, when it says "download whatever version of whatever" then just download that player and see if you can see the site.

Then try it with other sites. Maybe you'll find the one that is messing up the whole deal.

Just a thought. Worked for me to do it that way.

LAME LAME LAME LAME LAME.

I have no Real Player on my system, nor have I ever. I uninstalled all Flash Players and deleted all .ocx files, then reinstalled Flash player and it says successfully installed v9, but when I go to ABC.com, it tells me that I have to have the latest version of Flash to watch. Booooooo to Flash and Booo to Adobe.

I had uninstalled ie7 and I was having the same problems nothing changed. I do have some swflash.ocx stuff on my computer but I can't figure out how to delete it. When I right click it only says "copy or extract" anyone who can help would be much appreciated.
