YouTube and Vista?

Works fine for me (Vista Enterprise)

What about Javascript?

Curious, can you uninstall and reinstall flash? I've never tried such a thing.

It works here too (Vista Ultimate).

Go to C:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash, and run FlashUtil9b.exe

Hi. I got the following problem:
 
After installing Vista RTM (yes, finally - hurray!) I'm unable to watch videos on YouTube. YouTube tells me that I need to install the latest Flash Player. Clicking the link (which redirects me to the Macromedia install page) I get the notification that the latest Flash player is already installed.

When I'm going back to the YouTube page afterwards (I did even restart IE), I'm still getting the same message...

Anybody else having the same problem?

Also check to make sure you're running IE x86 and not IE x64, trying to view any website that uses in Flash in IE x64 results in either a prompt to install Flash or in the case of Vanishing Point, a blank page.

The problem is with IE 7&flash player.One of my roommates just installed windows XP SP2 and all the updates, also IE7. He had exactly the same problem with flash player. In firefox works perfectly fine but in IE7 he has exactly the problem you had. Tomorrow I will tell him to try the same stuff to see if it works.

I had this same problem,  since you know us beta testers.  We Love to find bugs and then find solutions   All to make the Windows World a better place.

Hey, thank you. Where did you get that from?

This information should be better known.  I've been so mad with Vista lately as I wanted to give IE7 a chance, but mostly used Firefox.  What is strange is that IE7 would work if there were no scripts to detect flash.

Is there any tricks for Quicktime? I'm having problems with Quicktime detection scripts.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROB WITH VISTA PREMIUM HOME FOR 2 WEEKS!
THANKS JOEM83, I KINDA WANNA BUY YOU A BEER!
THANKS AGAIN! :):)

I'm having a slightly different problem with youtube and vista.  When I watch something on youtube, only about a minute (two at the most) of a five or ten minute video will load.  When I reset the little bar at the bottom (move the round thing over a little), it starts loading again, but it still will load just a minute or less of video before just stopping.

It's not that youtube is too busy.  I look at my "wireless network connection status" it shows no information being recieved by the computer once it stops downloading the video.  If it was loading slowly, that wouldn't be so bad, but it just stops completely.  It happens with every video I look at that's over a minute long.

What's going on here, and what can I do to fix it? 

I use Firefox, by the way, not Explorer.

try updating flash and emptying the browser cache and cookies

WOW, Flash hasn't worked for me for months and the only way I could get it working again was to use a special un-installer and re-install it, which would be fine until I restarted and it didn't work anymore.

YouTube and most Flash video sites worked but non-video flash almost never did.

I just tried FlashUtil9b.exe and I tested a site based on Simpleviewer and it worked. I hope it keeps working.
