You need to enable Active X to get them. It isn't something that you can just download at random. Certain downloads will have their own Active X. Follow the steps below.





If you are using IE and in the administrator's account, follow these steps to enable Active X.





- Select Tools, then Internet Options from the menu at the top of the Internet Explorer window. The Internet Options window will appear.


- Select Security from the list of tabs at the top of the Internet Options window. The Security tab will appear.


- Select the Custom Level button. The Security Settings window will appear.


- Scroll down to the Download signed ActiveX controls entry and select the prompt radio button.


- Scroll down to the Run ActiveX controls and plugins entry and select the enabled radio button.


- Select the OK button to accept the changes





You may need to reboot for the settings to stick.





Note: Some sites have malicious Active X controls thus the reason for you to select prompt rather than automatically downloading them without your permission. If you visit a website that prompts for an Active X that you are uncertain about, don't accept it.





===============





After enabling Active X, follow these instructions to get the most recent version of Adobe Flash.





Assuming you are in the administrator account, first check Add/Remove Programs to see if you have Adobe or Macromedia Flash installed. If yes uninstall them using the new Uninstaller provided by Adobe and reboot (some computers require a reboot to completely uninstall programs)

Then try to download the Flash player again from the following site:

However, it has been reported that some people are having issues downloading the full version directly from Adobe. If that is the case, you may want to try to download it as a standalone.

Note: Flash Player is not a program per se. It is a plug-in to your web browser to allow flash content to be displayed and is required for many gaming sites.


================


Afterwards check your setting in IE. Go to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced and scroll down to the Multimedia section and ensure that the appropriate settings are indicated.Where can I get free (not trial) activex control to download adobe flash player?
Go to Microsoft.com try to update. If you don't have Active X, they will install it.
Active x is not a program to buy or get free.


Goto http://www.adobe.com and click on the box which says get adobe flash player.


once you have downloaded it youtube will no longer be a problem.
