Help me-adobe flash player install box "run" or "saveas" will not pop open when I install or update

[timelytoo]

I have windows vista 64. I already have flash player13 and reader x 10.1.9 but I can not get FLASH back.

It wasn't working on youtube. So I tried to update it. Went to adobe and clicked the yellow button to check to see if I had adobe flash. It said I didn't have it installed. I then went to control panel and checked programs and IT WAS installed. So I deleted it. Then went back to adobe page and tried to re-install the newest flash player.

Again. . . the dialogue box that normally pops up to choose;run or saveas Will not and Does not POP! I re-set my cpu 3 times during the process in order to get a clean go at it too.

Anyway thanks for your help and let me know please.

ps I figure this is something that may be fine in a week or two. But I still want to know wtf happened here and what did I do wrong.

Thanks

peace

Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)

Save that. Close your browser and run it. Then, it'll be installed.

Then, see: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448 and  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968

I thank you for the download. I have gotten the "flash player" downloaded and it shows in my control panel. NOW I am in need of the Adobe "acrobat reader" and the "active x control." Please help me with a link to to acrobat reader. I don't know why your link works, but the link at the website does not. Could it be my settings? I went to manage add-ons and shock wave flash is enabled.

I can't figure this out.

I thank you very much for your help in advance.

peace

ActiveX is part of Internet Explorer. You can't download it. Not here anyway.

Reader can be downloaded here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

That also, is a FULL installer, so it'll be able to run offline.

UPDATE. . . I only need "acrobat reader." I have confirmed the install of the others. 

thanks
