Cant watch youtube on Vista?

I am trying to watch a video on Youtube but when I go on the site it gives me this message .....you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. I have updated Flash and my Java is turned on but still wont work, can anyone help, thanks in advance for any answers.

    You may need to restart your computer because I have Vista too and I had the same problem. Or try this If the flash uninstall reinstall does not work this maybe due to a Microsoft Windows Vista permissions issue.

    Please use the Windows button at the bottom left then the search function:

    1. Go to: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\

    2. Right-click on the following file: FlashUtil9b.exe or FlashUtil9e.exe

    3. Select "Run as Administrator" and install the update.

    4. Restart your computer.

    Hope this helps

    Every time they update the flash player I have this problem with my laptop (vista)

    The link from youtube takes you to the adobe flash player website, there should be a what if it doesn't work bit, and it talks you through how to make sure the flash installs.

    I find I have to download the tool to remove the old flash player before I can install the new one.

    Hope this help :)

    Hey,

    You need to install the latest version of Adobe flash player to watch all the videos online, like on youtube, facebook and much more.

    I downloaded Adobe Falsh Player for free here http://bitly.com/1p3PNfq

    JUST CHANGE TO XP,since vista os got a lot of problem with their softwares,aplications & install stuff,and u should know that vista is a fail os program to us.Many customers change from vista to xp when they realised that vista are no more than just a fail product & brings "1001 problems" to them.So, i really really recommend to u to just change ur os from vista to xp,because xp are more stable and user friendly than vista,believe me.
