I downloaded Flash Player 10 and it does not work.I am using Windows XP and Internet Explorer. I have tried the trouble shooting. I have made sure its enabled under Active X and it does not work at all now. I have tried to download Flash Player 9 and now that will not download. I regularly use site that require Flash and I am shut down until I can figure out what is wrong. Please help.

I have the same issue after I was prompted yesterday to upgrade my Flash player. With the new version, 2/3 of Flash pages do not work. But 1/3 do work !
Example of page that does not work with new version of Flash :
http://www.youtube.com/ (the whole site)
http://www.adobe.com/fr/products/flashplayer/ (Adobe's official Flash page !)
Example of page that does work with new version of Flash :

On first glance, I would say that Flash loaded through JavaScript fails. Only Flash embedded through HTML works. But I am not competent enough to discover why.
Here is my current configuration (the version test at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html works well) :
Player Version : WIN 10.0.22.87
Debug Player : no
Operating System : Vista
Browser : Internet Explorer 8
Locale : French

O.K. I got it to work. I downloaded the Adobe Flash uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html I closed Internet Explorer and uninstalled Flash. Then I opened Internet Explorer and reinstalled Flash through the official Adobe Flash page. Now everything is working.
I guess the problem came from the automatic upgrade. I was prompted to upgrade Flash yesterday when I logged in my Vista account. Something went wrong during that upgrade, because as I said, sites loading Flash through JavaScript did not work afterwards.
Anyway, the problem is solved now.

As the previous poster suggests, download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
Also download the offline ActiveX installer for Internet Explorer: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Close all browser windows, then run the uninstaller, followed by the installer.
