I am having Adobe Flash Player issues

Question

Every so often, YouTube videos won't play on my computer. I get that white screen and the ! where the video would be. Then it will say I need to update Adobe. So I did! went to the website and followed all the directions carefully and it always says "download successful". But yet only 2 weeks later it tells me I need to do it again, and it's not a new version. It's the same version that I just downloaded. Sometimes if I close the window the video will play like nothing happened...anyone else having this problem?

Answer 1

Sounds like the browser to me.

Use firefox then install the flash player for that.

3. Install Ccleaner and run the cleaner top left, then run the registry cleaner below it on the left. you don’t need to backup the registry

4. Left click on C drive> properties>Tools> check now/disc scanner or in the case of Vista it’s called something else > tick both boxes > start, Prompt the scanner to scan upon next reboot and REBOOT COMPUTER)

5. After Disk scan/Disk check has finished run windows Disc Cleaner again, Ccleaner again and registry cleaner again.
