Can't Use Flash, Can't Install it either

[johnjohn320]

I wasn't sure if I had Shockwave Flash anymore, so I tried to go to a flash-using site, and play flash games. Well I can't do either, it just locks up, freezes, and I have to ctrl+alt+del it (it says "not responding).

If I try to download it, it says that "when the animation plays below, your installation is complete." It said it should take about 10 minutes, I'll wait 30 minutes, and look, still no animation, can't scroll or anything either. When I ctrl+alt+del, you guessed it, not responding. wtf is the deal?

Problem I have is that I have flash installed and any sites that detect it can't see it, so unless a particular site has a bypass link, such as ninjai.com I can't use any flash stuff. Sucks!

were you able to uninstall and reinstall it? I had that problem a long time ago when I used to use Win 98. I believe I uninstall it and reinstall it again.... or maybe you can do the restore to the last good confiduration thing.... don't remember how to do it again... sorry no Win ME here but I think it's on the start programs accessories and the not sure which one... good luck

I used to have a system with that problem too. Never could resolve it. It seems to be a problem with the software. many people on Usenet have the same problem.

what error do you get? have you tried totally killing it and going into the registry and wiping any trace of it away then reinstalling it?
