I know everyone will like this, not sure why it was not commonly available.
Go to www.donglefree.com and then click flashfix.

    You've got to be going more crazy than I was. Firefox not working!!!!
    Firefox always worked for me.

    I just want to make sure you've done this and understand. Firefox is completely different web browser.
    Click on link below to download the free firefox browser.
    null
    Install it. Make sure you do not select to bring over anything from Internet Explorer when given the choice.

    Firefox does not use any Active X extensions which seems to be the whole frign problem with IE
    and Adobe dealing with permission issues on Flash not working or installing at all.

    Firefox worked for me always with no issues. Netscape did not but I later found out the Netscape will
    automatically us IExpoloers engine on things if IE is installed.

    You have even more serious permission or other issues if Firefox won't play Flash material.

    Either way Adobe sucks at rectifying problems.

    Hope this helps.

    Well I thought the donglefree flash fix was working, but NOT! I'm still getting the same message about flash9.ocx. It seems to happen whenever it wants too. No pattern.

    Help!!

    I cannot access the FTP either and sorry but did not get this at all...

    >Before you take out that baseball bat, have you tried DL the program with an FTP client or using another machine to DL, and bring the files over ? Assuming you mean the fix files?

    Could you dumb it down a little,lol?

    Also, for whatever reason, when I followed the Flashfix link (which did not show the Yahoo tool bar option which I was getting previously and have been getting since...weird...) I was actually able to download flash (previously the moving graphic indicating a successful download appeared almost immediately with no downloading occuring) but upon installation it says it cannot locate the plugins directory...It tells me to browse and locate it which, well...I can't. When I download it to the default which is C;\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash it still does not work. Any ideas? This is getting ridiculous...Where is Adobe?

    Hi, sorry to bother you, but when I try to go to the FTP it won't let me access it, saying that connection could not be established. I have Admin status, and the problem that the installation video wont show up is really angering me, i was hoping this fix would work, but seeing as I can't do it apperantly, I'm about ready to beat my computer with a baseball bat! If i could have some help or suggestions, it would really be appreciated. Thanks, Shrimpz

    Thanks,
    Glad it was able to help so many others.
    And I know there are so many others that don't know about it yet and are as frustrated as we were.

    Dear All,

    If you are not fancy towards IE, then I would suggest to go fo Netscape. I dont' know how I enterend into this trouble, then I tried all suggestions given by Adobe and other forum friends. But none didn't worked. Reinstall Windows OS which made me work partially.

    Now I install latest version of Netscape and all my problem are gone. youtube is perfectly working. So I want to share this new with others so that they can go for Netscape.

    Regards

    I downloaded and executed the fix from donglefree and rebooted.
    Tried to install flash player again, but it still doesn't display.
    I am on Win2K Pro spack 4 + post hotfixes with IE V6.0.2800.1106
    I am wondering if this is a javascript / IE security problem instead?
    I do not get any security warning dialoque when trying to install flash player.

    Any ideas greatly appreciated..

    After downloading the fix and executing the fix file did you see a window open up
    where you could watch it actually speed through your registry as it made it's corrections?

    Also make sure you have done adobe's latest uninstall prior.
