Flash Player installation problems

[james_barrs]

Last night my computer was performing slowly. I uninstalled all programs that had been installed in the past couple of days, in case of virus infection. One of these programs was Adobe Flash Player. When I tried to reinstall Flash Player, I was unable to do so. I keep getting an unsucsessful installation message. Before that, on install screen, it says that a newer version is already installed. Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this. I am not very computer savvy so any help that is simple would be best. Thanks folks.

Download and save the uninstaller Save it to your downloads folder -  DO NOT run it yet.

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one (or both) of the following links and selecting "Save Target as"(IE) or "Save Link as"(other browsers).

Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)

Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Save the installer(s) to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it(them) yet.

Reboot your system.

BEFORE you run anything else, locate and run the uninstaller.

When it finishes, run the  installer(s) to put Flash Player on your system again.

If you use IE see also:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer  and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer

Actually the most current ActiveX version (11.8.800.175) is download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_11_active_x.exe - I don't know why the other download locations still have 11.8.800.174.
