I need to reinstall Flash Player everytime I start the computer

[Guest]

It happened two days ago only, flash player fails to run when brwsing internet content. I use IE 9, I didn't install any new program, the same anti-virus/security setup since 1 year. I re-installed Windows 7, but the problem persists.

I also tried all the recommendations in other discussio, but nothing worked. Evedrytime, I need to uninstall, and then reinstall Flash.

Any final remedy for this ordeal?

Can you clarify what you mean by "fails to run"?

[Guest]

a message/box "You don't have flash. Click here to load flash" or " you may need to upgrade your version of Flash". When I try to upgrade or reinstall, installation fails "Newer version already installed". I must uninstall first in order to have successful installation.

I have to repeat this after the computer is ON from a shut-down, logout, or Sleep.

Next time after you restart your computer, can you check if Shockwave Flash is still enabled?  (See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448)

This is what I have

Name: Shockwave Flash Object

Publisher: Not Available

Status: Enabled

It sounds like you might be running into a permissions issue.  Could you please try running through the steps listed in this FAQ:

How do I fix Windows permission problems with Flash Player?

Thanks Chris, it resolved it; I restarted it more than 5 times.

I appreciate if Adobe, or Microsoft, come up with a patch/update to resolve this for all

Thanks for the update.  We're working on it.
