Hey,

I have had to keep installing my flash player repeatedly for the past eight or nine weeks. Flash player keeps saying it needs to be installed every other night when I am trying to view videos on youtube.  Downloading the player temporarily solves this problem, but this error message is constantly recurring.  I don't want to keep installing my flash player every day or every other day.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks
