Do I need to pass a applet test with Java before the Flash player will function?

Question

I have downloaded the unstall and install programs for Adobe Flash Player and followed all the steps poster, "eidnolb" noted to prior poster greenie41180 on March 6th,  2010, 8:05PM.   The flash player test did not work.   I also do not see applets, when I use the latest version of Java on an applet test.    I might try reinstalling IE8, or going to IE7 and reinstalling Flash Player.  Gawd!  hours have been used, just trying to get Flash Player going so I can resume watching the tutorials at Mathtutordvd.com.   
What other troubleshooting steps can be taken?   I have tried everything eidnolb suggested in prior posts.
Hello everyone, When I try to download the Flash player I get the error message listed above.    I turned off the firewall and virus modes on my TrendMicro protection program, when downloading the player.     I already have Java 6, update 18 in the system.   I restarted the computer.  I also adjusted the configurations for Javascript and ActiveX under the "Tools" menu for the Security and Advanced tabs of Internet options.  I have Windows XP, service pack 3, with Internet Explorer 8.  
Also, I tested the recent, most updated program, Java and I still can not see an applet.    I have spent 7 or more hours on this.  I thought initially this process was going to be straight forward.     I desperately need this Flash player so I can learn math at the streaming video site called,  Mathtutordvd.com       Oh! gosh maybe someone here can help me help myself by giving me more troubleshooting steps.  I did follow Adobe's troubleshooting steps, but I still get the same, above error box with,  MSXML2.XSL Template 3.0 (Original exception: undefined)
  I hope, eventually to watch the streaming site, once this Flash Player is loaded.   I really do not understand what is going on here.  Thanks for your help.

Hi, May I suggest that you read your previous 3 threads that have been responded to?
You need to stop starting threads, this is the 4th one. You need to stop copying and pasting from the first thread to the new threads that you are starting. It serves no positive purpose.
