Flash Installation - Blocked?

Hi there. I'm trying to install the latest version of Flash (http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash). It installs fine and says its successfull but when I go to a website that requires it, it says I need to download it again...

My guess is that a program on my computer is stopping it from installing fully/properly. Is there any way that I can find out which program it is so that I can disable it for the installation or is there a way to get round it?

This may not even be my problem so if you've got any other suggestions, i'm open for 'em.

Thanks.

 

Thanks for the welcome.

I'm an administrator.

Any other suggestions, anyone?

 

Try this: Install the Player like you said you did once again, close the browser, restart the machine and try to use it.

This worked for me. I found it somewhere on Google but can't remember where.

 

BarelakedNadies--I get that message quite often, since my Internet Sites|Security tab|Custom Level settings are pretty strict. That means the running of ActiveX controls is blocked.
But when I get that message I put the site into Trusted Sites, assuming I really do trust the site.

Then Refresh or reenter the site. Usually it works fine. Especially on the Flash Download site or sites using Active X controls. Of course you have to do it with each site's URL.
