adobe flash will not install

[erjoell2]

I opened a web site and it said I needed Adobe Flash 9 or greater.  This was a surprise since I had recently updated my adobe flash to 11.  Add/Remove programs said adobe Flash was there.  I uninstalled and went to the website and downloaded Adobe Flash 11 again and installed it.  The web site said I had successfully installed it.  But none of the web sites requiring Flash work.  They all still kee saying I need to download and install Adobe Flash 9 or greater.  What's going on?

Moving  your query to the Flash Player forum. The experts here are better placed to answer your question.

What's your operating system and browser?

You should ensure that Flash Player is enabled in your browser.

If you are using Windows and Internet Explorer:

- Disable ActiveX Filtering

- Enable Flash Player in Internet Explorer

Where is Active X filtering?

Flash Player is not mentioned anywhere in Internet Explorer.  There was a new Add-on called Adobe Shockwave Object which I enabled, but no mention of Adobe flash.

Update:  Enabling Shockwave object has got sites requiring Flash working.

ActiveX Filtering is applicable only if you are on Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 9.

The Add-on name is Adobe Shockwave Object. And, you enabled it too.

Do you still have issues?

Please close and open Internet Explorer and visit the following page: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html

Let us know what it tells about the Flash Player status.

Thanks,
