Hi everyone, when I shut down my computer for the evening after using Adobe Flashplayer to watch various video's, next day when I re-open my computer, I get a message that I need to install Adobe Flashplayer, even though it was working okay on the previous occasion.

Is this a problem with my computer settings, or did the program not download properly. Thsi is becoming a very fustrating issue. Can some one please advise me.

    Uninstall it using your Control Panel and then do a "clean install" to replace it with the "offline" Flash Player installer downloadable by clicking one of the following links.

    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)

    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

    Thank you for your advice. I have done as you suggested at 22.30 UK time. I will check my computer tomorrow morning and I will let you know if this has cured the problem.

    Many thanks for your response. I have sent at least 3 emails to the Adobe help site, but nothing has come of them. What a customer service. Its a complete sham.

    Thanks...Tony.

    Hi C F McBlob. I have just logged on after closing down yesterday. Problem not solved. Although I loaded Adobe Flash player successfully following your instructions, and it was showing in Control Panel with the Red Adobe Icon against it, today I only have a symbol of a file with the top right hand corner bent over and info regarding yesterdays download.  I now need to re-load Adobe DFlash Player again, just as I have had to do for the last two or three weeks.  The same frustrating problem.

    Its  as if, when I close down my computer my Adobe Flash player either gets deleted or some how gets corrupted.

    Now what do I do?????
