This showed that I had the current version 9.0.124.0 of Adobe Flash Player
installed.

But when I went to run the test at

> Version test for Adobe Flash Player.
> http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowled...fm?id=tn_15507

This test displayed no results. So I concluded that I had the current version
of Adobe Flash Player "installed", but it was not working, which I had
previously concluded.

Hence, I decided to uninstall and reinstall the Adobe Flash Player. At one
point in your reply, you wrote:

Yes, it existed, but I had tried using this approach before, which did not
work.

Consequently, I used the Adobe Uninstall Flash Player utility at

This utility ran OK. It also removed the other Flash Player plugin for Mozilla
Firefox and other web browsers, which I subsequently had to reinstall.

As for reinstalling the Adobe Flash Player, I downloaded your

> Direct link:

I then rebooted my computer, and ran the above download, after which I
again rebooted my computer, as per your instructions.

This approach fixed my problem. I can only guess that the Adobe Uninstall
Flash Player utility does a more thorough clean up than trying to uninstall
using the Control Panel\Add or Remove Programs function. Thank you.

Also, I apologize for erroneously referring to the Adobe Flash Player as
"Adobe Flashcopy" in my original posting. I do not know what I was
thinking of when I wrote that. The only other similar product that Adobe
has is the Adobe Shockwave Player. I have corrected the above Subject
heading, but not my original posting.
