My boyfriend has VISTA on his HP laptop & we are having trouble downloading flash player for Utube?

I tried to download Flash player as instructed when I signed him up to Utube, it goes through the install process but still wont run when you request a vid on utube...Advice please

Update:

thanks for the advice we have done a reboot and we downloaded version 10, I have a feeling its something to do with VISTA, I hate it, I am on XP but boyfriend wont agree to changing over, he only had his lappy 11 months and never been on comps before so he scarred of learning to use somethig else

    Download it to the desktop, exit out of all internet browsers, double-click the Flash install, and after it's done open up a browser.

    Remove VISTA from the laptop and put XP back on it. VISTA is a joke and will cause nothing but headache....XP will cause alot of headache but not as much as Vista will. I have yet to meet ANYONE who installed Vista that didn't whine about how much they regretted getting it.

    Try to reboot. If that doesn't work, reinstall adobe flash. Make sure you get the latest version from adobe's website. It is version 10.

    I see! as quickly as you click "acquire" you would be able to desire to of click "RUN", no longer "keep". once you click "RUN" suited once you click the "acquire" icon you chosse to acquire ADOBE on your information, wich is greater stable to discover, yet once you click "keep" then it delivers an option to maintain it on your records,laptop,document,etc. What you're able to do is click start up and suited above the start backside on your taskbar sort "ADOBE" on the hunt bar. If no longer something comes up then you definately did no longer acquire it. and if something comes up then click on the adobe icon. sturdy luck,.
