I have Flash player 17.0.0.188 installed on a Windows 7 machine, however when I go to sites in Internet Explorer, it tells me there is an update available to 17.0.0.169.  I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, and Add/Remove Programs lists it as version 17.0.0.188.  I have tried the Check Flash page and this tells me it is the later version and installed correctly.  Any suggestions?

Sounds like a corrupted registry entry or config file.  This is the nuclear option, but will definitely get it done.

Thanks for the response Jeromie.

I have in fact done the steps you suggested.  I do agree there is probably a registry problem, I just don't know where to look next!
