Adobe Flash...

When I install flash it works until I reboot Vista and then it has
disappeared even if still enabled in "add-ons". The only way to reenable it
is by completely disinstalling it and the reinstalling from the adobe site...
This is very anoying, anyone got any ideas?? Please??

RE: Adobe Flash...

I had a similar problem and had to get the install file u=instead of trying
to get it in the browser. The file was "install_flash_player_active_x" and it
can be found on File Hippo and even Adobe's web site.

Re: Adobe Flash...

Download the standalone version of Flash Player from here:
http://www.softwarepatch.com/network...nload-security....

[install_flash_active_x.msi]

Then right-click on the file and select "Run as administrator".

Re: Adobe Flash...

When I right click on the.msi file, I don't see run as administrator as a
choice like I do with .exe files. How do I run this as administrator?
