Flash Player

[DeathsHands]

Guys, I've had a very annoying problem over the last few days. All of a sudden, youtube and every other website decides to claim I don't have flash player, and prompts me to download it, yet I've installed god knows how many times, and they still say I don't have it. It's annoying the hell out of me.


Suggestions?

What browser are you using?

The latest IE.

They have updated recently to cover a new-found hole in their security, so either you haven't got the very-latest version, or for some reason it's not working with your browser. Have a look the 'tools' menu where it says manage add-ons and check to see if it's been set to disabled.

I think I've got the problem. When I begin to instal flash player, when the little movie pops up, an information bar appears that say that nicrosoft has blocked the website from installing flash player. How do I unblock it?

If you go to control panel and then internet options, then select the security tab and press custom level. Now, it's either a downloads thing or an activex thing depending on what type of download it is, so set everything which is "deny" in the downloads and activex sections to "prompt", so it'll ask you whenever someone tries to do that. Just leave the allow ones since they're alright as you are.

(btw, if you're using something other than XP home, the steps will be different)

Then you can just select a default security level afterwards and it's reset everything to whatever level of security you want.

I've fixed it. I downloaded and installed flash player off of a different website and now it's really installed. But thanks you anyways, it's what you said that made me get my idea.
