Thread: Flash Player Issues

I'm having some trouble. I was on YouTube one time and all of a sudden this thing popped up that said I needed to upgrade my Internet Explorer. So I upgraded is (I think to IE 7) and then it still wouldn't let me watch videos because I needed Adobe Flash Player. Now I have to reinstall it but it won't install for some reason. I went to the site that YouTube linked me too but nothing happened when I clicked on the Install button. I don't know what to do.

EDIT: Actually it's Internet Explorer 8.

It was doing this to me a few weeks ago. I shut down and restarted the computer and it was normal.

But mine hasn't worked for weeks. I've just lived with it and finally decided that I really wanted it now.

Your computer might block it from opening automatically. Is there a little bar that pops up at the top, underneath the address bar?

There's one that pops up everytime I go to a new page that says something about add-ons being disabled. other than that no.

Does the your version of IE happen to be 64-bit?

I have no idea. What does that mean?

It is an alternate version of Windows for newer PCs which support AMD64, such as pretty much every new PC. If your PC has 4gb of ram or more then that, then you have 64 bit, as 32 bit only limits the ram size to 3.

Oh. Well I'm stil not sure but I doubt I have that. Does it matter?

Well, yes. Apparently the newest version of Flash doesn't work on 64-bit browsers. To find if the browser itself is 64-bit, it should be called "[browser name] (64-bit)".

Where do I look?
