when i try to install the flash player to my windows vista, it appears to download but never works.  always get the message that i need to download it.  checking the file i see it is entered but shows no

content so it really never did download.  any ideas?

i have windows vista home premium, 32 bit. when download, all seeems to run just fine. takes about 20 oe 30 seconds. announces that the installation is complete. even get an opportunity to play some silly game. but it does not work and when called upon i get a message that i should download flahplayer 11 now. so i looked in the list of programs under uninstall, and i see that adobe flash player active x and the plugin are both listed. but niether shows any corresponding program length. that column entry is simply not there. any other info i can supply? i do really appreciate your response. herb dessner

That is correct.  Flash Player is just a browser add-on, not an executable program; that's why there is no program size listed.

You still haven't told us what browser you use.

Also, what files you have in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash ?
