I went to IGN.com to watch a video for the upcoming Starcraft 2 game and when I clicked the link to watch the video, the WINDOW that pops up with the video in it claims that I did not have macromedia flash PLAYER 9. So I download the flash player from the adobe website and adobe says the installation was completed succesfully but I still cant watch the video at IGN, the same window claims that I don't have flash player 9, which is the one I downloaded, version 9,0,47,0. YOUTUBE VIDEOS work but next to nothing else does, any idea what could be the problem?

I'm running Windows Vista PREMIUM, Internet Explorer 7.0, and Windows LiveOneCare antivirus.Did you go here:

to check your version?

On a same page, it also says:
