I have updated and downloaded, uninstalled and installed the newest version
of Adobe Flash player but cannot get it to run,
no matter what I try. It was working a few weeks ago but suddenly won't
play any movies.

I am using Vista and Mozilla firefox. I have tried all the settings and
finally got a box that said I need to set permission, allow all, but there
is no instructions on how to get there, nor can I find any help in getting
the program to work.

Any help, comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank

One solution may be to >right click the program and >Run as administrator.

There are two versions of Adobe Flash Player, one for Internet Explorer (ActiveX) and one for everything else.
Is it possible you only installed the ActiveX version?

You can find the latest non-IE version here:

Hi, Jerry.

Any chance that you are running the 64-bit version of your browser?

If so, see Adobe's TechNote:
Flash Player on 64-bit operating systems
