After 2 weeks of extreme frustration trying absolutely everything and tearing out what little hair I had left I finally managed to get flash 9 working. What you need to do is run the downloadable adobe flash uninstaller and then go to the website below and download the IE "standalone" flash 9 installer. All will be ok after that, and you can finally view videos in youtube.

    Also, it says that the Javascript must be enabled. How do I check on that? Thanks for all the help.

    Thank you for your help with this really bad problem however, the fix has not worked for me I am pulling the rest of my hair out now as I type this. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the stand alone just like you said but I still get the message that I do not have the adobe flash installed on my computer. What is going on????

    try closing all programs , unstall flash player using adobe's uninstaller. run regedit and delete flashplayer key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MACROMEDIA

    Uninstall your current java, then restart. goto java.com and download latest java - 1-5-011 was mine. ( http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp) Then close and reopen IE. check in tools/internet options/advanced that a tick is in under the sun java heading - Use JRE for 1-5-011 applet, and under microsoft VM - enable JIT compiler is ticked.

    IE, under tools/internet options/programs manage addons and go through all the different menus in the show scroll window and ensure all java 1-5-011 activex plugins and enabled.

    goto my link and download the standalone flash installer and run it.

    if this doesnt work, could try running crapcleaner after unstalling flash and java then try doing the rest of the procedures.. If that doesnt work, who knows :-)

    Also, I have WMP, Real Player and Quick Time installed and Flash Player 9 as well. So I got an idea where to look in my machine for the problem and I discovered these facts:

    1. My speakers are working fine
    2. My mic's are working fine
    3. My sound card and driver works fine SoundMAX HD Audio
    4. All my players work fine except audio when playing FP9
    5. My windows sound recorder does not work at all
    6. I cannot play MIDI files by default Microsoft Synth and I have to use Quick Time to play it.
    7. I cannot play my default ( and other themes ) system sounds
    8. Also, I can see Microsoft GS wavetable SW Synth when setting Audio Properties but after apply it disappears again.
    9. My all drivers are updated and machine as well.

    So, I did realize that problem is in default Microsoft Windows MIDI Synth but after spending hours on the forums and use nets I couldn't find any solution to work around this problem except to reinstall my windows. I also can confirm that this problem have nothing to do with different codec installed like AC3, ffdshow etc.

    Furthermore, there is no any help on HP Support site for this kind of problem.

    SO, IF I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIND WORKAROUND SOLUTION I WILL BE FORCED TO REINSTALL MY WINDOWS AND HAVE AT LEAST 8 HOURS OF "FUN" TO SET UP ALL THE STUFF I HAVE NOW ON MY COMPUTER !!! SOMETIMES I REALLY DO HATE WINDOWS AND THINKING TO SWITCH FOR A LINUX !!!

    I've tried this several times with no success.
    Still cannot view Flash anywhere including Adobe's website.

    Interestingly, if I turn off UAC, everything works fine which implies a problem with permissions.

    Any clues would be nice. Thanks.

    Thanks johndiablo.
    Just tried your solution and it worked perfectly! I saved the uninstall to the desktop then saved the install from softwarepatch.com also to the desktop. Closed all programs,uninstalled flash 9 then re-installed it. Then went to this page to test it
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/
    works great!

    Thanks to johndiablo for the IE answer to this problem. I eventually found Flash 7 on this site for Netscape (as per my other thread), but didn't realise it was called Macromedia Flash... rather than Adobe Flash... which was the problem as it turned out, but once I ran the uninstaller and then installed Flash 7 and it all worked in the end.

    I then tried the IE Flash 9 standalone installer program, as mentioned by johndiablo, and it works for IE so I can view Flash 9 files there and Flash 7 in Netscape so I have the best of both worlds.

    Thanks johndiablo, you have solved my problems! Until this fix, I was only able to get flash to work on one out of my three profiles on XP home. Now it works on all three. I tried all the other stuff, messing with the registry, un and re installing many times with no luck. I wonder what caused all this trouble for us in the first place...
