Windows 8 and Adobe Flash Player

[crythannah]

I got a new laptop about 2 days ago.  When trying to access some websites that require Adobe Flashplayer, I was unable to view.  So I tried disabling it, then re-enabling it, and messing with the Acitve X filter (as suggested by the website/Adobe), I finally uninstalled it, as that too was recommended.  Now I am trying to work on re-installing, but am getting messages that it already is installed.  Please help!

Thank you all for your help/time.

Flash Player for Internet Explorer is embedded by Microsoft in WIndiows 8. It updates through Windows Update.

I already went through that. . .I'm still having issues trying to re-install it.

From where do you install it?  You need to install it from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html#main-pars_header_0
