Adobe Flash player

Asked Jun 27, 2009, 10:06 AM — 13 Answers
Alright, here it goes; for some reason adobe flash player isn't working anymore on my computer. We had it before, it worked fine. But when I was gone for only two days, flash player was gone, like it won't work anymore... I have tried re-installing it, it keeps saying "installation completed successfully" but every time I go to youtube or something like that that needs flash player it says that I still need to install it! I have tried to re-install it several times but I get the same results... Nothing.

Why could this be?

Are you getting any type of error message?

Do you know if anything was changed the 2 days while you were gone?

Particularly any Software or Hardware that you installed or setup.

Check this link or for some possible intallation issues

Uninstall adobe again, use the registry cleaner apps again and see if resetting IE defaults might help.

So, uninstall, registry cleaner,
-Open IE, tools, internet options, advanced tab, go to bottom and click on the 'Reset Defaults' button and click OK

Now close IE and repeat these steps:
