RE: Can't view certian videos and flash with Vista
I went through similar pain. I hope what follows helps:
To Get Flash Player Working:
Install Flash Player when prompted (don't worry that it won't yet work
properly)
Vista (32bit) go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed folder
Vista(64bit) go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed folder
Open the folder and right click on ‘FlashUtil9b.exe’, then left click ‘Run
as Administrator.’ The Flash Player installer should now start and once it
completes, Flash Player should work and appear on the uninstall or change
program list.
This issue is related to how Windows Vista's security features prevent
applications from changing registry settings (even if you are logged in as an
administrator) you must explicitly allow programs to make certain changes to
the registry.
Regards
AC
