I can't understand why I can't watch video's on youtube in IE but I can in
Firefox. It just keeps saying I must have Java disabled or I need to
download the latest flash player which I have. Can anyone help?
 
Most likely the installation of the new version of flash failed because some
of the registry keys were inacessable to the installer.

I had the same problem...here's what I did:

Download a program named RegMon (it monitors registry access)
With RegMon running, register the flash OCX. (Mine is located in
D:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash)
To do that, open a command box in that folder and type "regsvr32
flash9b.ocx" (sans quotes)
Most likely the registration will fail.
Stop capturing events in RegMon and look for OpenKey events owned by the
regsvr32 process. Look for ones with s status of Access Denied.
You will then need to go into the registry and apply permissions, and maybe
re-assign the owner, for those keys that were denied access.
