It says I am missing flash player. When I go to the adobe web site for flash player download if either says I have in installed either the download button doesnt work. I checked addons and java is enabled. Whan should I do :?

No the problem was only on IE. Nvm, I fixed it by installing the new 9 Beta. Now its cooler and it can play videos again ^_^. Only problem is that with my new IE somehow the slideshow gadjet stopped working -.-

I am getting the same problem with firefox with two computors.  It keeps saying I need to install the updated version of Adobe Flash.  I have installed, reinstalled, and even uninstalled and installed and nothing seems to work?

You are saying that I should try IE?

Why wouldn't you try IE? It's not as though you have to install it.

I have a feeling that when IE9 goes gold, you'll have to uninstall IE9 beta in order to get the official RTM version. Am I right on that?
