I installed vista in a virtual machine last week to try it out.... it's slow as can be, and uses 350mb of memory without any programs loaded at all. But I had no problem installing the flash player and have it working in firefox no problem either.... i just went to youtube.com, click on the "download flash here" and installed it...

Maybe try a reinstall of firefox and then of flash again?

problem found. I don't think it matters what you run, using a virtual machine is always slow. Also, using less than the minimum memory (512) would cause it to use the hard disc, which will REALLY slow you down.

 

Obviously you've never used virtualbox to run Windows 2000 or Windows XP.  They both run with great speed.

Even vista running in a virtualbox with ALL eye candy turned off is dismally slow.

Also, I gave Vista 1.5gb of ram.  (The host system has 6gb of ram).

So yes, the problem is found, vista is a pig.
