Is anyone else having problems with Flash?

[Matt Cable]

Is anyone else having problems with Adobe/Macromedia Flash under Vista
(Ultimate Edition)? It initially worked, but something happened in the last
few weeks and now:
- The URGE service within Windows Media Player 11 displays the message "No
such error found. Error Code: flashNotInstalled"
- Videos on MSN report that I need to download Macromedia Flash Player
- YouTube reports that "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an
old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest flash player"

Okay, so I've been out to Adobe to download Flash
(http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/triggerpages_mmcom/flash.html), and
of course I can see the Flash video with spinning message "Adobe Flash
Player successfully installed". But nothing else appears to work

So, I've read around, and have made sure that in IE7 that the "Shockwave
Flash Object" is an enabled IE Add-in.
I would un-install and re-install Flash, but I don't see any entries in
Vista's installed "Programs and Features" Control Panel applet.

Any other ideas? Is it security-related?

Thanks!
Matt

I click that hidden program:

C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil9b.exe

i had the same problem so went to adobe macromedia flash page and after a
bit of looking on help found an uninstall program. used that then
reinstalled and all is well again until net time.

You didn't say which bit-version you're running, but I have found that the
64-bit version of IE will not install Flash. So, I created a link to the
32-bit version and installed. If Flash is needed, then I just run the IE-32
bit version.

Maybe this will help.
