Annoying message about Flash Player
 
Several times this morning I have had the same message to 'Please download latest version of Flash Player'. I've done it twice today, even uninstalling the previous version and downloading the latest version, but the message still keeps appearing. :mad:
Any ideas folks?

Reboot hasn't fixed it I'm afraid. :mad: What is a clean up reboot, what does it entail, and how to do it please?

its clean up ,reboot

Firstly uninstall flash from add remove programs

Run a disc clean up open my computer right click C: select properties then disk clean up. Tick all the boxes and let it clean. Then reboot. The using your browser google Flash player and install from Adobe site . See if that helps

I think there was a few missing commas there, think he meant clean-up (as in remove), reboot, reinstall it.

Yep, that's what he meant :)

I use the free update checker on http://www.filehippo.com/. For the past 2 weeks there have been updates for Flashplayer that just won't work! Filehippo says it's Flash's problem.

Message again appeared first thing this morning, so uninstalled Flash Player and did the clean up thingy. Browsing on Mozilla I was told I needed a plug-in which turned out to be an older version of Flash Player, and so far so good.:) Ta for your replies folks!

that is a Packard bell warning not a flash warning by the looks of it. There will be some Packard bell stuff running from start up.

Hold win key and tap r a run box will open type msconfig. Click the start up tab and untick everything that says Packard bell. I personally would most likely untick a hell of a lot more but they will do for now lol exit and click reboot later

In control panel add remove programs . Here I would uninstall everything Packard bell you do not use. Reboot
