Help! I am at my wits' end! Windows 9, 32-bit. I have uninstalled older versions of Flash Player and appear to be downloading it but after several hours' waiting, am still on 'Step 2' of the download. Task Manager suggests install_flashplayer is a process but never completes. Have followed instructions on Adobe website, security to Medium, ActiveX Filtering off etc. Any ideas gratefully received.

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link and selecting "Save target as".

Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)

Save the file to your downloads folder or desktop, wherever you can find it - DO NOT run it yet.

Reboot your system - a hard reboot - shut it down, waith 30 seconds and then restart it.

BEFORE opening anything else, locate the downloaded installer and run it.

Finally, after hours of trying and reinstalling, an answer. Thank you very much, C F McBlob. I am finally up-and-running again. I wish they put stuff like that in the standard Adobe help material.
