mac installing flash player, Flash quits unexpectedly when opened after download.

[cactusone]

Can anyone help me with this?  Flash has been in use on my mac for a long time, but when I updated to 11 version it never worked right, and kept using older version to play games etc.. and I updated to flash 12, the flash program quits unexpectedly when I open it after downloading it.  It prompts to send error report to apple, and will not run flash player.  I troubleshoot and have uninstalled all following those steps and still cannot run an installed file of flash.  I tried to install earlier versions, 10.3 and others all quit unexpectedly  version flash 9 is outdated and cannot be downloaded.  I now have NO FLASH PLAYER at all and cannot figure out what is happening !   ANY INSITE would be apprecialted  thank you

How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X

You may also need to do a COCOA install (OS X's old installer)

Using the FULL Installer: Flash Player 12 Plug-in (Mac OS X)

Save the file and Quit Safari.

Double click that and it will mount on your desktop, and open a window with the installer.

Right click the installer and choose "Show Package Contents"

Go to: Contents/Resources and double click the Adobe Flash Player.pkg file

The installer will open, ask for your Admin password, and it will install.
