I have been trying to install Adobe Flash Player 9 for several days on a Dell
running XP
I have gone to web site followed directions, uninstalled, installed rebooted
etc. etc. etc. I have tried direct installs, downloads etc. But can not get
it to work. I have tried to install using different browers But when ever I
go to a web site it tells me I need to download the Flash Player

The program does appears in the Window program list add or remove program
list.
In my C:\windows\system32\Macromed\flash there are two files Flash 9.ocx and
Flash 9B.ocx

When I have tried install the program direct from a disk and I get the
following error message

error 1904 module
C:\windows\system32\Macromed\flash there are two files Flash 9.ocx
failed to Register HRESUIT-2147220473

Any Suggestions ??

I uninstalled adobe flash player using windows add/remove program
I ran the adobe unistall adobe flash player stand alone program
verified that i had no .ocx files in the C:\windows\system32\Macromed\flash
directory

I rebooted my computer
I ran the stand alone reinstall for Adobe flash player 9

I got the same message again during the reinstall !!

error 1904 module
C:\windows\system32\Macromed\flash Flash 9.ocx
failed to Register HRESUIT-2147220473

Program Adobe flash player 9 exists in windoww add / remove file
Flash 9.ocx exists in C:\windows\system32\Macromed\flash directory

However, web sites still say I need to install latest version

Any Other Suggestions

uninstall
manually delete any remaining the flash ocx's
reinstall

I'm having basically the same problem as you but I haven't tried to remove the
program yet. I just checked in add/remove programs and Flash Player 9 Active X
is installed.

Everything was working fine a day ago and it just suddenly changed. I'm
wondering if anyone else has run a program called "RegCure" - supposed to get
rid of registry problems. Since I installed and ran this program I've been
noticing problems with Java sites and Flash player sites. And BTW, it didn't
speed up my internet access.
