Problem with Adobe flash player installation

[BP16]

I have been trying to install flash player, it says that it has installed but its still not on my computer. When I go to the adobe webpage there is a box that tells me if its installed and what version however nothing appears in the test box not even an error msg.  I am unable to load pictures on any webpages like facebook. Its so frustrating. Please help. I have IE Windows 7

Pat, Thanks for your help,  I checked my manage add-ons and shockwave flash object was already enabled so I did not need to enable it, I also turned off the activeX on a website and tried to load a picture but still did not happen.  I am still unable to see anything in the test screen to see if flash player is working. Its very strange.  any other ideas?

What exactly do you see instead of the expected Flash content?

nothing the box stays blank

Go to http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html#main_Find_the_Flash_Player_ver... and right-click anywhere in the box, then select Settings.

Does the Flash Player Settings panel pop up?  If so, can you uncheck 'Enable Hardware Acceleration'?

No nothing in the box I right clicked and no settings panel available either

Hmm - very unusual; can you try a clean installation as described in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315

I uninstalled the adobe flash player and reinstalled it today it seems to be working ok now, strange. The only thing is that I am still unable to load any photo's onto any websites, would this still be linked with adobe flash player? thanks

I wouldn't know; what websites?  Do they use Flash for the uploader?  What exactly means "unable"?
