problems installing mac flash player

Question

I have tried repeatedly to uninstall existing Flash Player and install Flash Player 11 (11.2.202.235) on a Mac OSX 10.6.8 64-bit system running Safari (64-bit), without success.

The dialog box says that installation was successful, and if you check Apple / System Preferences / Flash Player / Advanced / Updates, it indicates that "Plug-in version 11.2.202.235 is installed.",

but if I try to run anything requiring Flash, it does not work, and when I go to

under Flash Player Help / Find Version / Flash Player

Check if Flash Player is installed on your computer

I see a blank gray box, indicating that Flash Player is not installed.

I have followed all of the instructions on Flash Player Help / Installation Problems / Mac OS and uninstalled and reinstalled flash multiple time, with firewalls and antivirus system disabled and everything active force quit, and I get exactly the same results ... Flash appears to be installed, but does not work ... any suggestions?

Thank-you. The problem was apparently that enable plug-ins was not checked. Flash works fine now.
