Anygood flashplayers or something for youtubeing?...

Since you've told us exactly nothing about your system, how can we help. And since only Flash plays .flv files, you have other issues needing to be addressed. Read the note in Red above where you reply.

As mentioned by Wayne above, please tell us which system you're referring to.. If it's the same computer which has other problems you've posted above, then you need to fix those other problems first. When a streaming video won't stream, it could be a number of things including problems with your internet connection, or a need for various drivers.. Did you reinstall all drivers after you used the System Recovery disc?

As to correctly installing Flash, try the steps below:

Please try the steps below to uninstall, then reinstall the newest version of Flash Player:

Try using the newest Flash Player 10.0.22.87 version.

First, uninstall Flash by using the Flash Uninstaller at the link below..
