YouTube is not working on IE7

the problem i found was a missing registry item {D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}

if you go to this site http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

then download the Windows Flash Player 9 ActiveX control content debugger (for IE) (EXE, 1.22 MB) run the installation & it will put this missing registry item in.

then the youtube videos should work with IE7

NOTE: When i ran the installation i ran into an error but i chose to ignore it and let it run anyway. Also if you run a registry cleaner program make sure you exclude (so it does not strip this reference) {D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000} otherwise you will have to re-install the above or manually put them back in.

In the same page I found a link for the Flash Player Uninstaller. I used this program to uninstall the Flash Player and then I install again from the Adobe download page.

I think that this method is better than install a Flash Player for debbuging purposes.

In most situation, the problem is about flash player.

one way is to go to the website, download one and install. However, it might not work for some users because of the security policy. The alternative way is to:

1, Locate the following path:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash

2, if you find a exe file named: FlashUtil9b. Double click it and the flash player will be reinstalled or fixed.

if you find a exe file named: GetFlash. Double click it and the flash player will be downloaded and installed.

Hope this help.

OK,

I had complete success by first uninstalling the flash player that Victor Zamora suggested then installed the debugger alone hullaballoo suggested and youtube works perfectly.

Thanks to both of you!

Friend of mine was trying to show me a video that my friend made, so he uploaded it through YouTube. He gave me the link to view his video on YouTube. The video doesn't play on IE7, but does play on IE6. I tried to enable all ActiveX, no luck. Is there any alternative? Thanks for you time.
