So for the past I don't know how long, I've not been able to view most videos on YouTube. An error message stated that I either needed to enable Javascript (it was already enabled), or download the latest version of Flash (v.10). I uninstalled and re-installed Flash about a dozen times, to no avail. Months of Google searching came upon dozens of people with the same problem but no real solution....
FINALLY I tried adobe.com itself (duh), and found the answer. Thank you, theopenworldtechnician.com!! Bawk, bawk!

Hi all, I installed Windows Vista Ultimate last weekend, and like many I found that the flash player did not work on many sites including YouTube etc. Well, the good news is I think I have the fix that many of you have been looking for: I navigated my way to: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Then right clicked over both 'Flash9b.ocx' and 'FlashUtil9b.exe', and chose properties. In properties choose the 'security' tab > Click on the 'everyone' account, and the button called 'edit' and then tick the box called 'allow full control' and also choose your own Windows local account name. Once you have done this for both files run the FlashUtil9b.exe and it should install and update and tell you to restart. Do so and you should find that YouTube and other sites that use flash now work. Let me know how you get on. theopenworldtechnician.com
