Adobe Flash Installer And Related Adobe Issues

[tiggerblue10]

Over the last month or so I keep getting messages to download Adobe Flash Installer particularly when I try to play something on Royal Games and games on FB. I never used to have this problem before.

I have unsuccessfully tried installing it from the link on the games website and an Adobe website advising me to enable it from my settings or something along those lines.

Nothing works! Any ideas?

Adobe Flash Player won't install properly when it thinks that you've already got it installed, even if that installation is actually corrupt.

Go to your list of installed programs (via the Control Panel) and uninstall any references to 'Adobe Flash'. (There might be just one but there could be several).

RESTART YOUR COMPUTER. (That's in capitals because it's important!).

The go back to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and install Flash again.

You should note that many browsers now have a default setting which blocks Flash from running (because it can significantly reduce your browser's performance and, unless it's kept fully up to date, present a security risk to your computer). So when you go to a site which uses Flash you might have to click on 'Enable Flash', and then refresh the page, before getting it to work.

Just figured out what the problem was. I went into flash player from control panel and the updates tab was set to not allow updates. I changed it to allow and it updated within seconds!

I need a lie down! Lol
