Thought i had about ironed out all the problems with my vista install, then a new 1 pops up.

Video streaming, like on youtube & msn news just wont work. it says i need to download a file and redirects me to adobes website which the says "plugin allready installed"? just cant get it to stream videos

Anyone else had, or solved this problem

Yes, its actually pretty easily correctable. The new flash player has an activeX extension which sometimes gets 'stuck' in a loop and won't come out even through a reset (strange) What I found to work is to download the Flash Player Uninstaller from HERE and run it. After its uninstalled completely, reboot your system. Once it comes back up, go to the youtube website and follow that link to the installer again, and let it run its course. If you see the activeX control yellow bar at the top of the window (the one that makes you verify you really want to install the software) then you are almost there. Make sure you get one more popup window asking for verification of the install, and when it says complete you are good to go.

I think this is just a bug in the current version of IE7. MS knows about the problem and will likely address it in a hotfix soon. Let me know if this works for you, ok?

Thank you it worked. I had Vista about 2 weeks now and on line videos would just not work right! Your Flash Player Uninstaller link worked very good and I rebooted when to play a on line video and it said I need Flash Player and I just did a click to install and videos work with out the video stopping and starting if it would start.

Thank you. I just made a log in to post this.
