Windows 7: It says one thing but it's telling porkies

cosmicpulsar · 30 Mar 2012

I go to install Adobe Flash, I do everything it says and then it tells me 'Successfully Installed', but its not. I'm using Windows 7.

Hi DavidW7ncus, message says installed and its listed in installed prog's but when I want to say look at the majority of attachments in emails it says I need Adobe flash .

Does flash work ok in your browser(s)?

What do you use to read email?

Are you saying some flash attachments work, and some don't, using the same email program/website?

Hi DavidW7ncus, as instructed I press the Download button, it does it's thing and says Successfully Installed. But when I go to look at attachments it says I need Adobe flash . It's listed in the installed prog's list

In that case I would uninstall it and reinstall from the Adobe site.

I think the Adobe flash site has a video so you can test your flash install.

You can also test your flash install on Hulu...

When you think you have adobe flash installed go to Hulu and see if you can play a video.

Adobe's "about test" site will tell you which version that it detects inside a given browser. Here is the link to that test: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ but be aware the info in this thread: Adobe's latest critical security update pushes scareware

I happen to use filehippo's website for getting the installer for IE flash and one for non-IE flash.

And what happens if you visit Adobe's "about test" website?
