Question

How to load FLASH 11.

I too have this problem since day before yesterday.  Kaspersky told me to upgrade to FLASH 11 .0.1.152 because 10.3.183.7 has vulnerabilities.

(In the recent past I had problems upgrading to 10.3.183.7 from 10.3.183.5.  I was finally able to successfully change from 5 to 7 by de-installing FLASH. Re-booting. Then doing an Alternate Manual download of FLASH.  After a couple of attempts it worked, but not on the first try.) 

So, when Kaspersky again told me to upgrade to FLASH 11 I assumed one must go through the same rigmarole to get it to work.

I’m using Firefox (latest ver).  MS Vista on a Toshiba Satellite laptop.  32 bit. (What else?)

What I then did:

  1. Downloaded.

De-installed FLASH 10.3.183.7.

Re-booted.

Tried to load the dwnld.

Didn’t work. Error msg. So I:

Disabled all Firewalls. (Sex without protection!)

Downloaded from Adobe and CNET.com

Loaded the dwnld.  Did not work. Error msg.

I have de-installed, reinstalled and re-booted ZIG times. With and w/o firewalls. In all cases when I dbl click the downloaded Adobe icon (saved to the desktop) it starts but then the icon disappears. Whenever I repeat I get the msg “Only a single instance of this application can run.”

Now no FLASH at all.  What is the fix?

HELP appreciated

    Also use the alternate installers for Flash Player 11: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550
