I did install Adobe Flash Player, it says it installed fine. Adobe's website says it won't work with 64 bit and they suggest using 32 bit. I have two versions of IE on this machine, one says 64, the other doesn't say. I tried both without success.

Hi Janice, ,
I had exactly the same problem a few months ago when i installed vista x64 on my new quad core machine that i built.
As you say, adobe still havent adrressed the flash player problem for vista x64, but HAVE for linux x64 bit users ( no guessing where adobes loyalties lie eh ! ) , ,but keep promising to get a windows fix out as soon as they can.
In your programs list from the start orb there will be 2 seperate internet explorers , , one is x64 bit, and the other is explorer x32 bit.
Vista x64 ALWAYS installs a 32 bit explorer as a default along with a x64 bit explorer as well. If as you say , both are not running flash player then have you made sure that you have installed flash player from the 32 bit explorer as well. When adobe says it has installed flash without problem from x 54 bit explorer , ,then take it from me, , , it hasnt, , it will say it has, , but it hasnt.
Install flash from both explorers , , then try and go tu u tube again and see what happens,, , ,
Good luck ! , , , , And Adobe , , hurry up ! !
