Hey Everyone,

But i'm unable to install it. Can any one help me out to resolve this issue? Any kind of help would be appreciated.

If you have problems installing Adobe Flash Player, follow the troubleshooting steps below.

1. Uninstall all previous versions.

2. Download Adobe Flash Player.

3. Troubleshoot Adobe Flash Player for Internet Explorer.

Before installing Flash Player, please check the following browser settings:

Internet Explorer ActiveX settings

Browser security settings should be chosen by you or by your system administrator. For single users who do not have an administrator, the Medium: Default Level allows you to view Flash content. For any Custom Level, ensure that both the "Download Signed ActiveX controls" and "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins" options are set to "Prompt".

To change your security level:

• 1. Open Internet Explorer.
• 2. Choose Tools--> Internet Options.
• 3. Select the Security tab.
• 4. Select Custom Level.
• 5. Find the section "ActiveX controls and plug-ins".
• 6. Set ' Download Signed ActiveX Controls' to Prompt.
• 7. Set 'Run ActiveX Controls And Plug-ins' to Prompt.

If you are having trouble installing, make sure that your Internet Explorer security level is not set to High or to a custom level that does not allow viewing of ActiveX controls.

I've had the same problem couple of times. Go to your c:/windows/system32/macromedia/flash and delete everything inside of it . Tab to Internet options under tools , Go to ad-ones Disable your Flash OCX object (delete recommended) Go to adoble flash website do an express installation online of Flash player, If didn't work Restore your Internet Configuration to Default and reinstall Flash player. Hope so it may work out for you.
