adobe flash player -missing something!

Itshim · 03-08-2011, 08:07

Using Windows Vista ,FireFox.

Upto a couple of days ago all was well. For no reason that I can think of Videos stopped working ( no meesage of any kind) on Daily Motion.

The flash player must have been working because it was only a problem on daily motion. Anyway was told I should uninstall Adobe & reinstall it. Did that now they do not work at all - message need to install flash player click here. Follow link to Adobe install & get message can only run one copy!

Tried unistall( using Adobe & reboot) & reinstall but failing, not sure the install is completing. Seem to think I should get a message about changes to PC. and is that OK, but so far none.

Which version of Flash are you installing?

Not sure of version number but it is the latest update.

Am beginning to wonder whether website designers are under a Microsoft brainwashing regime and that Mozilla browser users are turning out as victims. I say this, because I'm a Firefox user and participate in completing on-line surveys and many's the time I've been confronted with silly statements like:

"the latest version of Flash player is required for this website - click here to blah blah"

As I always have the latest version installed, it really gets on my pip when I see statements above. However in saying that, the issue doesn't appear if one is using (yuk-puke) Internet Explorer, which suggests that this particular browser is still viewed by many such website designers as the benchmark - very naive if you ask me.

Si thee

Follow the following to fully remove your old flash: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html

Then, after a reboot, try installing it again from: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
(Don't install the McAfee bloatware!)

Try again.

Tried about Six times ! if reinstalled. still get message need to install

Uninstalled switch off & reinstall still get the same message. I guess I am missing something else but have no idea what.

Ok went back a month to see if that helped! & at least flash player is working

It looks as if the problem is in DailyMotion it comes up ok but no video plays. Other sites work fine so I guess its not the flash player. Any ideas?
