Hi

Anyone able to help with flash player problems? I have had The flash player on this computer for several years. I have XP, and it has always worked. Last week it quit. I removed it and tried to download it again but now it won't let me.

Any ideas to try. Will the new AVG 8 cause this?

    AVG shouldn't cause this - do you get any sort of error when you try and download flash player again? Can you expand on 'it wont let me' - we really need more details.

    Rather than download it try installing from a CD (try PC Pro mag - they usually have it). Make sure you have properly uninstalled any previous versions.

    Use the removal tool to properly uninstall previous versions of flash and then try reintalling from Adobe.

    I get this message basically

    Error during Flash Player installation:
    'Failed to install. For Troubleshooting please see: http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166'

    I don't undetrstand why I have had the is computer for years and it always ran the flash player before. Now I am expected to download patches and mess with the registry........ I like click and play....
