I have installed Flash Player 10 today, as suggested by Adobe.  It did not install or something.  I looked everywhere...not there.  Later, my computer suggested I upgrade to IE9.  did that...no problem.  Retried the flash player 10.  Still no flash player.  I need this to post pictures online for my class.  This has totally screwed my day.  Any help or suggestions.  Adobe online chat help was useless with this one.

    Hello,

    When you download those installers and clicked on Run,

    Did they install successfully or not ?

    Thanks

    Hello,

    Welcome to Adobe Forums,

    You will not find Adobe Flash Player in Programs List or in on Desktop as its a plugin for your browser

    If Flash Player is not installed please download these installer and save them on your Desktop :

    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_10_active_x.exe

    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe

    Note : Make sure no programs are running when you are install both of them

    Hope it helps !!

    Thanks

    Vikram

    That did not work either.  I clicked on both links, clicked "run", followed all directions....still nothing.  I am so upset and frustrated.  This morning, after two attempts to update, I did remove the old version that was on my programs list.  But, I only did that after 10 wouldn't install anyway.  Now, I have nothing!  What is wrong?   I appreciate your help so much.
