I need to install the latest Flash player to watch YouTube. I have gone to the site millions of times and downloaded it, saying it was successful and I reboot my computer but them when I try to view something it says the same thing...

What is going on?

Either your computer is fucked, or you're installing the wrong version, or you need to update your browser.

Not the wrong version, I click the link it tells me to go to to get the newest version.

Ok, there could be a few things causing this.  You DO NOT have to get a new computer.

First try uninstalling your current browser, and try to get rid of any settings relating to it (make sure install folder is deleted).  Then download a fresh installer (I recommend using Firefox or Opera if you are not already), and install as you normally would.  Then try downloading a fresh installer for Flash and install that.  Try using it.

If it still does not work get a tool called CCleaner and run both the standard cleaner and the Registry cleaner.  

If it still does not work switch to a different browser, I of course recommend Firefox (or anything based on Mozilla engine) or Opera.  If you want you can try Internet Explorer or Safari.

If it still does not work try a system restore.

If it still does not work reinstall the OS (Windows I am guessing?) (Formats hard drive, back-up all needed files).

make sure INTERNET EXPLORER is the default browser, also be on IE7, download it from adobe site, reboot, and try again

Why use IE?  It should work just fine through any browser, be it Firefox, Opera, or other...
