Install latest Adobe Flash Player but still are told that I need to install latest Flash Player!

[bws57]

I have installed the latest Adobe Flash Player several times, but I still receive the message that I need to install the latest Adobe Flash Player in order to view items on any website that requires Flash Player.  I have verified that the version of the program in the Control Panel: Programs is the latest version ---  11.1.102.55

Some websites say that I must install Adobe Flash Player in order to view the content on their website.  I can sometimes install the product and then go to the website and view whatever content I need to.  Today for some reason, I installed the product AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN and for some reason it is not being recognised.  How should I proceed and what can I do to make sure that you product downloads and installs and is recognised as being installed and what version is installed.  I did not have this problem with version 10 of you product and have only gotten this message since I had to install "the latest version".

Thanks for any help that you can give me...  This is so frustrating and now I can't view content for websites that I must get to.

This is jacqmar, I wanted to say I'm having similar problems with Flash Player.  I have  a 64 bit, IE 9, and the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.  The settings mgr says I have the Active X version, but not the plug in version  installed.  I need the plug in version in able to view certain videos on websites such as CNN.  I disabled Active X filtering while downloading Adobe FP and still not plug in version.  What am I doing wrong?

The plug-in version of Flash Player is for browsers other than Internet Explorer. 

Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer 9

Since the Flash Player for Internet Explorer is an activex add-on, active x filtering must be turned off to view videos.

I don't understand what you mean.  The best way to get help here is to start your own topic, and give a detailed description of your environment and problem you encounter.

It is very difficult to help different people with different problems in one and the same topic.

Thanks Carl and Jacqmar for your post.  James I hope you get the non geek help you need.  I did the 2 things mentioned above for Internet Explorer 9 and it still did not seem to work.  After I Shut Down and rebooted my machine, I did not have the problem anymore.  For some reason, I get the BLANK screens on certain context.  Don't know if it's a related problem or what is happening.  THANKS A BUNCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!

For some reason, I get the BLANK screens on certain context.
