HELP -- Java/Flash Issues

dashKADE · 07-24-2008, 12:15 AM

Starting three days ago I've been told by all sorts of sites that I need to either download or update my Flash/Java player when I have each at their latest updates. Youtube is probably the biggest thing. It's just a pain in the butt and I would like it resolved. Halp!

I have had the same problem. I have started thinking it depends on Vista.

I have done what they say on here http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/view...nalId=tn_19166

Now it doesn't say that I need to install/download/update Flash Player anymore, but still I cannot watch videos, it keeps buffering every 5 seconds.

Can anybody help?

Yeah, I've been hunting for a forum to ask this question in and I've found the same question on a few of them by different people, some having had the problem for a few weeks.

When I find an embeded video, from say Kotaku, I can view the video just fine but actually going to Youtube I can't.

Easiest thing I'd try is simply uninstalling the old programs/versions completely then reinstalling the current versions.

Go into your control panel and into programs and features and uninstall all instances or versions of Java Runtime Environment.
*note, Java sucks, when you install new versions, the old version stays as well, so you're just adding to used space. I ALWAYS delete the old version of java first, then install the new version.

Most current version found here: Java Runtime Environment v6u7

Do this with flash as well. Flash and Shockwave alike are available from the adobe website and are quick and easy to install. Uninstall the old version of flash from the control panel and install latest flash version.

I use firefox.

Latest Adobe Flash update here: Adobe Flash Player version 9.0.124.0

Good luck.
