I need the flash player to do my college statistics homework but it will not work!!!!! I was prompted by my textbook's website to update my flash player, so I followed the link as well as all the instructions on the adobe website. The flash player starts to download, then tells me to close internet explorer. i close explorer and retry. then, the adobe webpage comes up saying it's been installed, but when i try to go back and use my e-textbook, it says i need to update my flash player and i'm in the same place i started! help!

What is the website?
In Manage Add-ons, is the Shockwave Flash Object enabled?
In Tools, Safety, is ActiveX filtering unchecked?
In Internet Option, Security tab, is the security level set to Medium-High?
What is your operating system?

Windows 7 - 32-bit or 64-bit?
Make sure you use the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer when you try to use Flash Player, or checking the Shockwave Flash add-on.
What files do you have in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash (32-bit Windows), or C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash (64-bit Windows) ?

Make sure you are using 32 bit internet explorer and active x filter is unchecked under tools, other than that I haven't the slightest.

Enabling Shockwave Flash Object in "Manage Add-ons" in the Tools (Gear in upper right corner) worked for me. Carl Meyers nailed it.
