Check for updates or just update adoe flash player
Adobe Flash Player allows users to view videos made with Flash, a common online video format that can be viewed by both Mac and PC users.

Because technology is consistently emerging, Adobe frequently updates its Flash player. Downloading an update is free, and may be required in order to watch videos online.

You will need at least 128 MB of RAM available on your computer to update Flash player, and Internet Explorer version 6.0 or later for Windows XP, version 7.0 or later for Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 8.0 or later for Windows 7.

Open Internet Explorer and navigate to Adobe's Flash player download site.
Click the download link and follow the instructions on your screen.


Click "Allow" or "Install" if your security system asks if you want to download the file.
Avoid running other programs while the download is going on.

Flash player tests itself by showing you a brief video when the download is complete.
If you do not see this video, the player has not been successfully installed and you must try the download again.

Adobe Flash Player is a cross-platform browser-based application runtime.

1) Check the settings of your anti-virus program. A lot of times an anti-virus program will not let a program download.

2) The main thing with Adobe Flash Player, is that it will NOT install a new version of Flash Player; with an old version present.

And it will NOT automatically delete the old version.

Use the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller tool.
Then go back to Adobe Flash Player Support, and download AND install the newest version of Adobe Flash Player.

Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller tool,

A small window will come up. Click on Save File.
A small download window will come up.
Allow the file to fully download, then DOUBLE-click right on the file name.

At the bottom of the next 3 small windows, click on Next, Next, and Finish.
If you are not asked to restart your computer, do so.

When Windows loads back up again, go back to Adobe Flash Player Support, download and install the newest version of Adobe Flash Player.

Hello, Try this: Start > Control Panel > Add & Remove Programs. In that list you should see Adobe flash player. double click it to Uninstall it. Reboot your computer. Go to:http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html and download the program again and install it after you have downloaded it. That should solve your problem.
Good Luck, Nate

You can download Adobe Flash Player from here (Click Here). It's not actually a player, but a plug-in which is important to play Youtube Videos and other multimedia contents on the internet.

You may also need Adobe AIR (Click Here).
Or Adobe ShockWave (Click Here).

If you need further help, let me know with more details.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

When you uninstalled, did you use the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller?

You have to manually remove it with the Adobe Tool.

Removing it from Add/Remove Programs won't do it.

After you have used the Adobe tool, then install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
Also make sure that your anti-virus program is not blocking the download.

Websites use different media player formats. If youtube is asking you to install the plugin do so. Java.com is a trusted site and will not hurt your pc.

You saved it to a location, and you're not sure where? goto "start", sall programs", "Search", select "all file folders", type in "install_flash_player" in the search box, and it should locate the installation program. Double click to install.
