    Install an older version (47) for now. 115 is buggy as hell.

    Second one in the list. Pick 9r47 to install when you've unzipped.

    I'm having the same problem(s). My Flash (and Java) works on some websites. But doesn't work on others. YouTube being one they fail on pretty regularly. Seems quite a few of us are experiencing the same thing. And we've all pretty much done the right things to resolve the problems. We've tested our installations on the adobe test page (passed) and we've re-installed Flash, Java, etc (multiple times). We've checked system requirements. And we've tried using the knowledge data base but have still not been able to resolve the problem. As noted, they work on some sites but not on others. Must we all log separate support tickets? As often as not following that path is as frustrating as trying to resolve the issue itself. We don't need still more frustration. Wouldn't it be easier to try to give some generalized debug and resolution advice here? Or point us to a support page with content we haven't already exhausted? Might one of you who are chasing this through the support ticket system come back and write about your resolution here? TIA.

    Same problem for me. Tried all the suggestions I've seen. I have deleted Java programs and download it again. Nothing helps.
    It also seems like the flash player program dose't dowload correctly.
    Iv'e also checked the IE security settings. Compared to a PC that plays Youtube videos.
    Some good advice on this problem will be highly appreciated!

    This is not a virus. This means that although it -looks- like Flash Player is installed correctly on your machine, it is really not installed correctly.

    Open web support cases via http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer an an agent will assist you.

    I tried doing that, posting my problem on support forum, I clearly mentioned that I tried every option given on adobe support portal like uninstalling flash, check system requirements etc, however I received same response that check this chk this...etc, I again posted reply two days back stating the same problem and no response yet:( I have no clue how to proceed as I am windows vista installed and I can't easily reinstall IE 7. Hoping to get response from Adobe support.

I also subscibe to an animated greeting card site and I can only receive the background of these card...not the animation. I also cannot download a new version of Flash Player 9. I have followed all instructions: emptied cache, reset Safari browser, turned off browser during download, logged off. Nothing works. Download is not successful. Is there a virus out there?
