I have installed flash player 9 on my computer. according to adobe's website it's installed however any time i go to a website requiring flash it says that i need to download flash player 9. i have tried to uninstall and reinstall several times yet the same symptoms occur. the weird thing is that there are two user accounts on my computer. one of them has no problem with flash and the other account does. i've tried setting up a new user account to see if flash would work on another account and it will not. all of the user accounts have administrator rights. i am really confused at this point and don't know what else to try. i am also running ie7 and this problem didn't start until i downloaded ie7. it seems that there are a lot of people out there having trouble with flash 9 and ie7. i have tried to email adobe about the issue but i have not heard back from them. does anyone have any suggestions. thanks for your help in advance!

Unfortunetly vista is very unstable and has many bugs and errors.I don't see why xp can't please your needs until the software becomes more compatible with vista.

I posted this on another thread in this forum...but here it is for this thread (probably bad forum etiquette, but there's alot of folks looking for an answer here).

I am running XP SP2 and IE6.

Here's the solution as posted by a previous poster, I think for a Vista user that was experiencing the same behavior from Flash:

1. Go to WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash and find uninstaller
2. After you run uninstaller the "Flash" folder should disappear itself...if not, you manually delete it
3. Install the flash player again with the file you download from adobe http://www.adobe.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_msi

I followed step 1, but the only uninstaller i could find in the Flash folder was an unistaller for the Flash9.ocx, so i ran it. It however did NOT delete the Flash folder itself, so i did what step 2 recommended and deleted the Flash folder altogether. Then I went to Adobe's site at http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash and downloaded the Flash9 installer, ran it, and bingo! Flash works again.

I'll add another mystery to this equation. I downloaded Adobe Flash Player 9 on my computer (Windows Vista). I can get it to run perfectly on my Firefox Browser but can't get it to run on either IE or AOL. I actually took my computer in to a computer repair place locally (small town). He messed with it for a while, said he had the same problem on his. He fixed his but couldn't figure out what was wrong with mine. I believe the problem is either in IE 7 or Vista.
