Adobe Shockwave Flash NEVER installs properly! When I go to a site, it tells me I don't have..

it and offers to install it.

Yesterday and today, I got messages from Comcast.net (The Fan), Zillow.com, YouTube.com and others.

Interestingly enough, this seems to be involving Internet Explorer browser only. If I go to the Firefox browser, I don't have this problem (but I have other problems....). Backstory: My husband bought a new computer, and I have inherited his older HP Pavilion 9680C. I also got this problem.

Below is the site for installation, but even after the Download and the Install, the next time I try to open the "Macromedia Flash Player" -- I get the same story.

Anyone here want to help?

Thanks for your time.

PS. I'll put this in the Computer Support forum, too, but don't have much patience with these problems.

1. Javascript ...

If you have javascript disabled, a lot of flash content will be blocked. Your IE may have javascript disabled.

2. Are you running any firewalls?

Sometimes I have to disable Norton for a few minutes in order to install the Adobe flash. Then view a youtube video, or something that uses the Adobe flash. Then I enable the Norton again.

3. try uninstalling shockware first then reinstalling it.
