Hi~

flash but wont work for non admin users. any ideas? also when uninstalling do
we have to use the uninstall.exe or use add/remove programs? I've tried
uninstalling and reinstalling but had no success...

This still happens with the new Flash player 9. It was working before I
upgraded. Is this a design feature, or will it eventually be fixed?

Flash Player 9, unlike Flash Player 8, creates registry keys with permissions
only for the administrative user that installed it. If the administrative user
that installed FP 9 uninstalls it, and a second administrative user installs
it, then permissions on the newly created registry keys have their permissions
limited to the second administrative user, and the first administrative user
cannot use FP 9 anymore. It doesn't happen with FP 8. I've verified this on
one home PC with FP9 and one with FP8, as well as a work PC at another site.
I've reported it to Adobe support and have been waiting since 1/3/2007 for a
reply.

Okay, I run a network of three terminal servers supporting 100 users. Servers
run IE7 and Server 2003. Latest version of Flash (9) DOES NOT work under any
user account other than administrator. Trust Adobe to take a perfectly good
product and totally wreck it.

Lets hope everybody adopts Microsoft's Flash alternative. Do you hear that
Adobe? Thin client computing is growing and if you don't fix this sort of
rubbish, Flash will die and all the money you put into aquiring Macromedia will
be for nothing.
