Hi - i have a relatively new laptop (purchased oct 2007) with Vista.....It was all ok until about a month after i got it and suddenly i kept getting a error msg (for example on youtube if wanting to view a video) sayin "install latest version of flash player (i have uninstalled and reinstalled etc flash - already tried that one lol!) or allow java script in settings"....i have done all this and it still not working. At the same time, msn messenger Stopped working - is this somehow connected????? I uninstalled messenger and now it wont even let me install it!!!! HELP me lol.....i am totally confused and breaking my money saving instincts i rang the pc world hotline (grrrr) and they just told me i have to let them restore factory settings etc which will be a right bloomin' hassle as i am not very computer literate and i cant work out how to back stuff up etc!!!!!!!! any one have any ideas on why all this may have happened? my first instinct was that i had downloaded sommat with a virus but the only things i downloaded before it all went wrong was a few videos from youtube.......
Baldrick, does it have to be this way? Our valued friendship ending with me cutting you up into strips and telling the prince that you walked over a very sharp cattle grid in an extremely heavy hat?

Ok have a go at using the flash uninstaller first then restarting the PC then installing flash again.
Flash Uninstaller http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157 You must restart PC
Fresh copy of flash http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
Do this first
