Flash Player needs to be reinstalled every day

[brob1492]

Without any specific cause, I have found that to view most videos I must reinstall Flash Player every time I start my computer whether I use Firefox or IE. Of course Chrome works always no problems, but it is not my desired browser- that's firefox. Once installed Flash works perfectly. If the computer is shut down, restarted or allowed to sleep, Flash must be reinstalled. I can't find any settings that effect this issue. Very frustratring.

Try a clean install as described in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315

If you need more help, please tell us your Windows version & edition.

I tried the uninstall method (including removing files from the indicated directories) but to no avail. I am running a Dell 8300 PC, i7, 2600 , 12 gb memory with MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

Two days of recycling/rebooting etc and Flash holding solid! Are there any drawbacks to the SuninACL file? Should I expect to see any effects other places because of the changes I performed? I assume future updates will accomplish without incident (?)

Thank you for the assistance.

There should be no drawbacks.  For some reason, either a file, folder or registry entry had it's permissions corrupted.  The script fixes this.  As long as whatever broke it in the first place doesn't occur again, you shouldn't have to worry about future updates.

What about if you tried those steps, and it's still not working?  Have the same issue; flash keeps uninstalling itself, and tried that solution.  Reinstalled flash, said it worked.  Downloaded the thing from Windows, downloaded the attachment and extracted to the same folder, ran it as admin.  Little DOS box seemed to work fine.  Restarted the computer, and yet again, flash is missing.  I get nothing at all when trying to view videos.  Becoming very frustrating!  Using the latest Firefox, Windows Vista (64-bit), and never had issues before.  All was fine till quite recently (past week).  So, what next? 

Edit to add:  Tried, after restarting the computer, to reinstall Flash Player, and no wit won't install AT ALL.  keeps saying it's "already in use", and then trying to open multiple new downloads to install it.  Becoming extremely frustrating.

Have also tried to install an earlier version from the site, but every time I try, I get the messagethat it can't install because it's not the latest version.
