I have successfully installed Flash Player, but every time it is called, it always tells to install it.

    I had the same problem for weeks, first websites were telling me I didn't have flash, couldn't see a thing on Youtube, etc..etc. Yet when I clicked on the adobe site the animation played. Success...NOT! I did some searches and everyone was saying it worked in Foxfire so I downloaded Foxfire and it worked, but still not IE, or AOL. After going bald and trying everything Adobe had in their help sections. Including using the unintsaller for flash, I rebooted and downloaded IE7, then reinstalled Flash, still didn't work. So then I changed my settings to enable all active X content, still didn't work. Searched for days to make sure I didn't have any other flash plugins/players...nothing. But, it is fixed now :-)

    Try this. Go to start and search, search all subfolders, etc...and type in the word getflash.exe or you can search by just the keyword flash. You'll get a ton of files if you just search flash but that's how I found it originally, what you are looking for is the one with the flash symbol and the words getflash.exe next to it. Double click on it and let it do it's thing, reboot and voila Flash is now working in everything IE, AOL. I found it in two locations documents and settings and in program files Mozilla/Foxfire/plugins and their both staying in case I encounter this again. Apparently it was either not doing a full download on the Adobe website or it was not installing correctly for me. But this did the trick and at last after weeks of frustration I can view Flash. lol

    I am also experiencing the same problem with Flash Player in that various websites will not open and ask that I download the most current version of Flash Player when I already have. I have verified on the Adobe site that I have the most current version. The Cadillac.com site, youtube.com, and others simply do not function. Can you help?
