    I am no longer able to play any Videos on the Internet and BBC iPlayer, a repeat message points me to download and instal Flash Player.
    I have done this, uninstall and reinstall.

    My OS installed is Windows 7 64 bits Premium, and Internet Explorer 9. Flash player 10.3. Error has only recently started with no program changes being made. Advice, most appreciated.

    See this Adobe page for help in getting the Flash player uninstalled using Adobe's uninstaller.

    Then check out this page for instructions on reinstalling. Often saving the installation file (link to download it at the bottom of that page), then running it works when other methods haven't.

    Hello Miz, my thanks for your Post as most informative and indeed helpfull.

    I did exactly as information given, however Flash Player still remains not working, both with BBC iPlayer and any video playable on Internet sites that requires Flash Player.

    I note, that requirement is OS must be compatible to Flash Player, i.e. 32 bits, and not 64 bits as in my case. If this is normal practise, then there must be many more players who are unable to view videos, is this the case.

    Please don't use [Enter] but instead keep typing your sentences, by entering hard returns it makes your post hard to read.

    In Internet Explorer, go to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab.

    On the Advanced tab, scroll down the list to Multimedia and make sure "Play animations in web pages" is checked (along with anything else you want to enable), click OK.

    If that doesn't help, click on Tools again and then on Manage Add-ons.

    In the window that opens, select "All add-ons" in the drop-down list under "Show. "

    In the list that populates in the right-hand pane, make sure Flash is enabled.

    See if any of that helps.

    Hello Miz, thank you for latest help. Checked all entries under Options> Advanced, entries shown. FlashPlayer, is now working properly. According to a read, installing IE 9 it does this in both 32/64 bits.
    Originally my computer developed an error that caused the FlashPlayer not to function properly, and by using Microsoft FixIt, cleared the error. My thanks for your help.
