Can´t seem to download flash player onto my internet explorer

We thrive on information here and you sure have not given us much. Exactly what have you done or tried regarding Flash Player?

Do have Flash Player installed? If so, what version, and how did you update in the past?

What version of windows are you running and what version of Internet Explorer?

Hi

A full re-install of the media players maybe a good option at this point and the below should help, its not just Adobe Flash but also Sun Java,

I would even though you have latest version installed do a bit of a clean install of the Flash plugin and download the cleaner tool from Adobe HERE and run.

Do same for Java Runtime and run this tool called JavaRA to remove old Java versions.

Then run CCleaner and its Cleaner and Registry tool (run the registry one until nothing shows for removal, do save the registry when it prompts you) then double check in

If 64bit Windows
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed and delete Macromed folder

If 32bit Windows
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed and again delete the folder

if 64bit, then check both areas, just in case.

Then download and install latest Adobe version HERE (do on the Majorgeeks download page click the Firefox, Safari and Opera users need this version link and install) also update Shockwave HERE

and Java HERE
Click to expand...

If you have run the above and still do not have Flash video in webpages, then do let us know and also let us know what Windows Version and Service Pack as well as what Internet Explorer and version you are using?

Do also boot into safe mode (F8 at boot and choose safe mode with networking) and see if this helps show webpages ok?
