Hi. I've installed flash player several times and it used to work but recently
every page I go to tells me I need to install flash player. I go to the the
adobe sites --click the download and it tells me it's successfully installed
but still get the message on almost every web page that needs flash. My OS is
XP Pro. It's driving me crazy.

I am having the exact same issue! I have tried everything, including the link
http://www.adobe.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_msi, I still get the message that
I must download flash. The weird thing is, one of the 5 user accounts (all
computer administrators)
on our family pc has no problem with flash working, but the other 4 do not
work. I have tried adjusting the security settings, but nothing has worked.
Did anything end up working out for you?

The Flash Player may fail to install successfully due to permissions
issues with in your registry. There had been a number of users that ran
a script called 'reset.cmd' and this has resolved these permission
issues in the
registry and allowed for a successful installation of the Flash Player.

Warning: The 'reset.cmd' is not an Adobe program. Adobe Systems cannot
be held responsible for damage resulting from running this script. The
'reset.cmd' script involves the Windows System Registry. Editing or
manipulating the registry incorrectly can result in serious system
damage, which may require reinstallation of the operating system. If you
are not comfortable editing the registry, then it's best to take your
machine to a
professional. If you choose to proceed, it is essential to create a
complete system backup and a Windows System Restore Point before
proceeding. Adobe Systems cannot be held responsible for damage
resulting from
this 'reset.cmd' script.

1. First attempt to install the Flash Player from here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
2. Even if the Flash Player does not install correctly, the registry
keys needed should be generated
3. Open a web browser and paste in the following location
4. http://www.donglefree.com/reset.zip
5. Download the file to your desktop
6. Close out all applications
7. Run the 'reset.cmd' script
8. It will open a DOS like terminal and start running through your
registry keys
9. When the script is finished it will display "press any key to
continue"
10. Test the Flash Player here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome

Hope this helps.
