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.

    You are the KING!!! Why can't Adobe put this on their own stupid website? I installed/uninstalled/screwed with registry a dozen times to no avail. I specifically tried to find a version of Flash that I could download a file and install separately and couldn't find it on their website. This worked in 30 seconds. Awesome. Adobe should fire their bum support people and send their salary to you!!!!

    THANK YOU! I to was having the same problem with Flash Player in VISTA. Your solution worked! I also uninstalled Shockwave player and installed the "Stand Alone Version." I installed both players using Full Administrator rights.

    note, this is not a standalone flash player, it is the standalone activex installer for IE (flash9b.ocx) so you can finally watch flash through your web-browser

    Make sure your have closed as many programs as possible before installing.

    It works! watch flash and youtube in IE7 again!
