Alright, so I typically run internet explorer without any problems. However, I seem to be having a problem with installing flash player 9. Whenever I come across a flash thing, it always tells me to download the newest version of flash, which I do. I even get the little "Flash 9 has been successfully installed" flash on the adobe site. But then I go back to view the flash thing, and it says I don't have the newest version. I even try opening it in the same window as the adobe site after I install it, and still nothing. I have firefox installed, so I try using that to view the flash and it works.

Is there some magic button I should pressin IE that will allow me to actually install flash player 9? I'm getting kind of frustrated with it.

Suggestions?

Can you link the site that you are having problems with? Also what version of IE are you using?

Try Firefox.

I had the exact same problem with IE7. It would work at some sites but not others. Metacafe was the biggest one that wouldn't work and it would drive me crazy. I installed flash like 10 times. I even tried to install older versions.

Adventually I was telling a friend about it. He went to adobe's website and downloaded it. And it worked. So basically I have no clue why it worked for him and not us. Good luck.

IE > Opera > Firefox
(Not really, but for some reason I don't like to use anything but IE)
