I recently updated my firefox and Flash player to the latest versions and now everytime i want to watch a video or anything that is used with the flash player, the flash player keeps crashing and tells me that i need to update it.. I have already tried uninstalling it and installing it again and it still won't work I don't know if its because i have a bug or what is the prob exactly. It was working on my IE9 before i uninstalled and installed again the latest version, but not on firefox. Now its not working on either. I have the Acer Aspire 5100 32-bit running on Vista Home Premium. If anyone can help, I would SO MUCH appreciate it.

Try either or both:

disable Hardware Acceleration (Flash Player Settings)
update the device drivers for your graphics/video/display adapter

As far as I know IE9 is still beta, and only FP version 10.2 is supposed to run on it.

Go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and when you see the Flash animation, right-click on it and select Settings. Uncheck 'Enable Hardware Acceleration'.

Updating device drivers should only be done by experienced users. Hopefully the above should fix your problem.
