hola beautiful people..

im in need of a computer genius to help me out plzzzz

i recently bought a new Vaio which has windows vista and apparently ur standard adobe flash player 9.0.28 smthn doesn't work on it and u have to download a newer version

 

so thats what i did - or at least tried to do

when i try to download 9.0.115 - keep getting error messages - wont even let me download

so i tried downloading 9.0.45 (i think) - worked fine... asked me to restart... i did... still doesnt work...

went on a bunch of help websites.. they asked me to run it as admin.. i did... still didnt work... asked me to update again.. i did... restarted... nothing...

another site asked me to remove it completely.. and re-install... then click on ActivX full control thingy majiggy... i did.... restarted... nothing....

 

WHAT DO I DO?

 

the funny thing is.. when i first bought it .. it was working fine.. all websites... just a few days ago it suddenly decided it was out-dated... cant even watch anything on youtube.

 

HELP - plz :(

Darude> What is wrong with number 6 with you? I have 6 gfs???!!! You got 6 ladies in Valentine day???!!! what was the rest of the your 6 List .... can't remember ...

Your account got no administration privileges even if it shows that ... you gotta go to the Control Panel and disable the User Account Control [UAC] to be a real administrator. Vista got a lot of compatibility issues and I install it for testing purposes but I won't recommend it for any.

You should be having IE7 icon for sure on your desktop ... Right Click--> Run As Administrator .... Hope that will solve it ... otherwise tell me ...

  Nouf,

I'm afraid this is happening a lot with Vista, I experienced the exact same thing with MSN Messenger.

I had to take off Vista and put XP on. I would take it to the store where you got it and have the fix it, or put XP on instead of Vista. There are just too many problems with Vista!

 

Good Luck!!
