But we don't all use Mozilla. Some of us here still prefer IE7 for various reasons.

HOLY FUCKIN A!! I downloaded that activex deal, istalled it, restarted the machine and now everything works fine! Hahaha! Thanks you sooo much.

I downloaded the thing from here:

Scroll up just a few lines and you should see the link to download it.

Hope this all works for you guys as well!

I didn't get around to sending a complaint, so obviously I didn't get that message... Make sure you post all the emails you get from them up here if you would be so kind....

I just got that e-mail too, what a relief that it wasn't our computers or Adobe.

Yep, certainly saves us the trouble of reformatting or dicking around with our registry now that we know our PCs are'nt crazy.

So why can't YouTube get off their lazy asses and fix this problem? Or at least make some sort of announcement about this issue and they are working on it etc....

People I have BETTER Temporary FIX! Go search and watch your youtube videos on video.google.com! Now DON'T click on the actual youtube page link. Instead, click on where it says WATCH VIDEO HERE. It should play a working video embed on the google page itself. Here's an example - http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=WoW+toyota&sitesearch=

Please continue to send your complaints on the link I posted to youtube. Flood these idiots with complaints until their message server crashes.

It appears that a lot of people are having Flash problems with Vista. Sony's Crackle site also does not work. After visiting MS forums --- I have tried every suggestion (uninstall, re-install, internet options, install of debug tool, etc.) and it still does not work on youtube or Crackle. I'm about out of ideas, but..... does anyone know what program is set up to handle swf files on a system that works..?? Flash Player is not listed in any of my file types --- and I don't know if it should be or not..??

Hope some kind of solution comes soon.

I'm having the same problem, and I've tried all the methods mentioned. But I've noticed something: when I try to install the newest version of the flash player and click 'show details' it claims to be only installing for Opera, a browser which I used briefly before uninstalling a couple of months ago. It would help if the Adobe installer had a bit more interactivity, and one could set which browsers to use....
