Hey everyone,
Has anyone else had the problem that the new flash player wont download correct for the new youtube videos. I have tried it many, many times, and it always says that it has downloaded correctly, but it never works. I have tried goin trough all of the troubleshooting steps and procedures, but i cant figure it out. So has anyone else had this problem and finally over come it?
Thanks for any help and suggetions.
Yeah, same problem for me, on a different computer.
I have the latest Java, and flash player.
Java script is enabled, but it still doesn’t work, it’s weird.
I didn’t work for me for a few minutes… then I just checked everything… then realised [I was told] there was a new firefox update… then installed it… then made sure flash and everything was installed manually then…
Hey presto; it worked 
I think you probably just have to persevere with things, then eventually they work:)
I use Internet Explorer, shoul i switch to firefox(thats another web browser right?) And all my javascipt settings are either propmt or allow, besides unsigned things. Should i set unsigned javascipts and Active X control to prompt? i dont want to get a ton of spam hits, and virusus to popo up on my computer, so i’m a little hesitant to start messing with that kind of stuff.
What is this new Flash player? A new version of Adobe Flash?
According to the Secunia software inspector I’m running Flash 9.0.47.0 which is the latest version that Adobe has for download.
My neighbour had this prob - he switched to firefox and it works.
Yep, firefox is another browser…
yeah… thats the version
how so i get firefox, and is it a free download, paid download, or paid for software, like on a disc? thanks for all the help everyone!
thanks, but should i use the IE repair or the FireFox 2.0 software?
At last, a question with enough information in it to provide a clear answer! ABANDON IE! I recommend Firefox, because it works, not just in Windows but equally well in Mac and Linux OSes also. Same browser wherever you go.
Only use IE in emergencies. Definition of emergency: sites made by lazy coders, Frontpage users or Microsoft employees, on sites you “have to” go to.
i got Firefox! Everything works now. Thanks everybody!
Cool.
Now to tie up some loose ends.
Old versions of Flash are vulnerable to several vulnerabilities. One of them being a remote code execution vulnerability that is highly critical. You need to make sure that your Flash player is the latest version.
If you’re running Windows you should run the Secunia Software Inspector every few weeks or every month to make sure you’re up to date on several key Windows apps that are commonly exploited.
Adobe has a Flash uninstall utility that will remove Flash from your system. Then you can download and install Flash again. Uninstalling Flash and then installing it again in IE will probably fix the Flash problem you are having. You’ll have to run the install in IE and then again in Firefox because the two browsers use different Flash install programs.
actually … that didnt work. i tried it like 5 times w/ IE. and i didnt even uninstall it w/ firefox and it worked first try.
thanks for all the other tips too!
one more question. (for now:p )
Is Firefox just as secure as IE for online shopping, or is it more vulnerable to insecurity, or is it even safer
Odd. There must be something deeper that is interfering. There are plenty of other settings on the computer that could cause problems with Flash and other ActiveX browser components. No real matter though if you’re switching to Firefox for primary browsing.
Just make sure that IE still works at Windows Update. If the Windows Update site no longer works (it relies on ActiveX) then you’ll need to get to the bottom of what’s causing the problems.
Firefox is secure for online shopping. It supports HTTPS and the SSL encryption standards so online shopping transactions will be encrypted.
To see it in action to go a site like https://www.paypal.com
You’ll see the address bar area turn yellow and a little lock icon in the address bar. You’ll also see a little lock icon down in the bottom right corner of the browser in the status bar area. That shows you that the site is secure for online transactions (like entering your credit card number).
Whether Firefox is safer is all relative. If your computer is already compromised then you can’t consider anything safe, even when using https and SSL. So whether Firefox (or IE) is safe all depends on whether you can trust your computer not to be compromised with malware that’s looking to grab your credit card number or online transaction details.
yeah, that page still loads when i use IE. Is Firefox trustworthy though. its totally new to me, so im just a bit skeptical about the whole thing.
Yes. I use Firefox along with IE.
sorry, i didnt see #16 b4 i posted, i didnt mean to ask the same thing twice.
