You did not say if you are running 32bit or 64bit Windows. At this time,
Adobe does NOT have a released flash player for IE9. However, there is a
beta that works, although I have found some problems with it. You can get it

I am running Windows 7 SP1 and Internet explorer.  I got IE9 through Windows
Update.  What I have noticed is the Youtube and TV sites don't acknowledge
that I have flash installed, and give me a download link inside a black area
where flash would normally play.  I have disabled ActiveX filtering and
looked in the addons for conflict but the only things there are Adobe flash
and Silverlight.  The version of flash is
10,2,153,1 (latest).  I am able to run the flash with Firefox 4 and Chrome
10.  After many frustrating hours of un-installing flash, installing flash,
reading forums, etc, I uninstalled IE9 and reverted back to IE8.  Revisiting
the sites, I was able to view the flash content.  Does anyone have any ideas
on what to try?  I would like to 
use IE 9 for the added security.   George
