How do I get my computer to recognize and run Flash Player?

[SoleilWV]

I have successfully downloaded Flash Player several times, but I am still unable to play video clips from websites like CNN. I get the message that I have to download Flash Player.  Flash Player shows up in the list of installed programs on the computer's control panel.

What is your operating system & version?

What is your web browser?

I assume you are on Windows 7.

Ensure that you disabled ActiveX Filtering: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_ActiveX_Filt...

If it doesn't solve the issue, please let us know if you see any animation in the following page: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html

Thanks,
