Keeps asking me to install latest version of flash?

Hi,

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, but using the 32bit version of IE9.  I have installed the Flash player 11.0.1.152, but I can't view videos on youtube or just about anywhere else. It keeps asking me to install the latest version of flash.  I uninstalled then reinstalled it, but still not working. 

I'm not sure if this started when I upgraded to IE9 not that long ago, or if it's unrelated to that...

Any help would be much appreciated, I'm not really tech savvy!

Thanks,

Amanda

Press Alt and X, pointer on Safety, is ActiveX filtering unchecked?

Press Alt and X, click Manage add-ons, is the Shockwave Flash Object enabled?

You could not find the Shockwave Flash Object after changing Currently loaded add-ons to All add-ons?

Thank you SO much!!

I had uninstalled and reinstalled it, but apparently deleting those two files was the trick!

Thanks again.
