Hello all,
I've been having problems with adobe flash player 9! When I go to the download site, I click on download and just FLASHES for a second but I never get prompted to download anything. I've gone to "stand alone" VERSIONS where I download it onto my desktop and then install. I look at my installed programs and there it is. But, when I go to play a short video, I'm prompted to install the latest version of Flash player, which I already have! Something is going on and I can't figure it out.
Does anyone have any ideas? I have desktop that's running on Windows XP.
ThanksRevisit Adobe's site and look for the flash uninstaller tool.
Run that , re-boot the machine and DLoad a fresh copy of Flash.
They have been having alot of problems with flash lately so don't feel bad, it's not just you...I've used the flash uninstaller tool, re-booted and downloaded a new copy and still this hasn't worked. It's been very frustrated because I can't view any running videos! Is adobe flash player the only tool that can run streaming videos?
I've already ran a "clean registry" software that found some errors and corrected them. Could it be something it's not correcting in my registry? I've read on another forum that it could be an issue with IE 7, which I have. Could this be a possible problem?
What registry cleaner was this ? ?It's CALLED Registry Mechanic 6.0I just checked my son's desktop computer, an older model, running Windows XP and it has the latest Adoble flash player 9 installed; it has no problem running videos. I'm begining to think it's my computer I've discovered something - I think it is a problem with IE 7. I just downloaded Mozilla Firefox and downloaded Adobe flash player plugin and everything works now! I'm able to view all streaming videos I actually like Mozilla better - my son was right. He's been using that for months. I don't know what going on with internet explorer 7??When IE 7 first came out there were alot of issues with it...you could try DLoading the latest version and just install it over what you have...this may or may not solve the issue.

In the meantime Welcome to FireFox !I tried to download IE 7 again, but it won't download because it detects that I already have it installed. What my internet PROVIDER suggested is that I change my user profile (under User Accounts) and then try and download flash player. Not sure I want to try that since I'm now very happy using Firefox.
Thanks for the feedback Patio.
I was able to locate These Instructions for un-installing and re-installing IE7...read them through and let us know if you are comfortable with this procedure...Thanks for the instructions Patio. But, after reading the disclaimer, I'm really not comfortable going through those steps. What's really frustrating is that I haven't found a way, without paying a fee, to let microsoft know the issue I'm having with thier product. It is a microsoft product, isn't it?
