I have a Compaq Presario F700 32 bit computer with Internet Explorer 9 as defaullt browser.  I have been having issues getting the flash Player to work....it keeps coming up that I need to download the Flash player when I try to view a video online,like off the weather channel or You tube.  It IS in my program list when I open up Programs. sometimes videos come up, other times not.  I uninstalled it, reinstalled it, uninstalled it again and again, the screen says that it installed successfully but the window still pops up saying I need to install the newest edition.    I have been having issues with my computer after updating a PC cleaner ARO2012, but this download is taken out now, Also when I put a recent update on the Weather channel, the computer froze up, otherwise it was doing pretty well yesterday. It seems like I have a problem with updates from companies, I noticed it twice that the computer froze up soon after.

Also I removed recent downloads thinking that was the problem but the issue still remains.  I  have done everything that Adobe had instructed in regard to trying to fix this. Even my Microsoft Fix it comes up with errors and I cannot run it.  I am beginning to think that my computer is just old(over 5 years) and the downloads are being affected by my hard disc drive not working properly.  I did a disc check and one time it stated I had a corrupted Disc C.  But then on Startup repair it claimed to have deleted or fixed the problem.   I get blue and black screens popping up on my computer often, saying that the program had to close to protect the computer.  So I don’t know...I did everything possible.  when I go onto the Adobe website.....that little screen they ask you if anything shows up on it to determine if Adobe is installed?  Well...it shows up completely blank, not even a error message...but yet, the Adobe Flash player is installed in my computer according to my programs list. Ok,  Hope I covered everything.  S Lind
