Flash player worked perfectly fine on my computer and I've had it for about 2 years. But now for the past 2 weeks whenever I turn off the computer or log off the next time I sign in it says I need to install flash player. I have installed it many times but it keeps doing the same thing. I'm tired of installing it everyday so some one please help!!

Having the same issue. You have version 10,2,159,1 installed. It runs fine. Evertime I reboot my machine - actully 3 different machines- the same thing happens. It asks to install the latest update 10.2. It is like an endless loop. I choose install each time but the next reboot it asks again. Been going on for a month I'd say. VERY ANNOYING!

histreeter / middlekid3008, please start a new thread. You have both responded to post which is over two years old. Flash player has been updated several times since then and issues in the original post no longer apply.

Don't know if this will help. I got a new computer - Windows 7 64 bit. If you use IE 32 bit browser, the flash player will work. It does not work on a 64 bit browser. I had both browsers on my computer - just had to find them and put them on the desktop. Also, Firefox works and doesn't ask to install Flash Player.

Gagan, that's ok if you didn't find those files, just a thought.

On your debate about 32bit/64bit. Whether you are running a 32bit or 64bit is easy to answer. If you have ever had Flash Player on this computer then you have a 32bit. Besides you would NOT want to tell me you are trying to install FP while using a 64bit. LOL, I don't have banning privileges, but I know who does. LOL

arsgs24- You have to use the 32bit browser, that is the only way you can have FP, Adobe FP does not support 64bit. Glad FF isn't asking for FP, you don't know what you're missing though, just kidding:-) If you can however solve this problem, we would be grateful!!

Ok, Gagan, what next?

Here is the only thing I can think of, find a cliff....Seriously, go back up thread and find the troubleshooting link (19166etc)

and go to item #5. read that section. There is an offline ActiveX executable. You can try it without disconnecting from the

Internet due to the Norton and see if Norton will let it install.

At this point that is all I can think of; we've tried everything else. While you are doing that I'll see what the other info I have on my desktop.

Hi G, That would be aggravating. Take a look in Add/Remove via Control Panel and see if there is a DLM (download manager) listed.

Did you uninstall and then install manually or was it an automatic update via a prompt from Adobe?

When you post back, please include your OS and browser and version.

Thank you

HI!

Thank you for replying. No I checked and there is no DLM listed, however when I install it a DLM does open up some

times. I uninstalled and installed manually and I am using windows vista i think it's 32 bit and I'm using internet explorer 8.
