I tried to view a video on youtube and was met with "Hello, you either have JavaScript 
turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. 

But I have java turned on and am up to date with Flash version 9. I uininstalled 
and tried to download flash again but it will not install. Only once did i get the 
 dialogue box asking me to click to install. I did but nothing happened. Task manager 
says it is running. I tried turning off firewall

It is the same problem as at http://au.answers.yahoo.com/answers2/frontend.php/question?qid=20071007184042AAu77dZ 
but there must be a way to resolve it while using IE

The Adobe Flash Player uninstaller is needed for new version of Flash. Google will lead you to it.

I ran the  uninstaller but still flash would not install.So for anyone with the same 
problem I had to run the uninstaller and then get a standalone download of flash 
from http://www.softwarepatch.com/internet/flash.html

Here is what fixed mine on vista http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/internet/firefox/install-flash-plugin-manually-in-firefox-on-vista/ follow th edirections and ignore the stuff about firefox. Simply download the core files... change it to a zip by a simple rename... open the unzipped folder and right click on the flash application. Choose "run as administrator" it will now run and properly install. :)

Even though I can now view youtube I still get the message :-

"Hello, you either have JavaScript 
turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."
 
just before the viewer opens
