I realize this is an adobe problem, but I have been around and around with them
and still no success. I am trying to install the newest flash player and
have nothing
but failure! I followed all of adobe's suggestions, but no results.
Any ideas? I have XP home with SP2. I have IE7.I have used the uninstaller
and then installed but sites like Ziddio still say I need to upgrade my flash
player.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is what helped me:

the short way
Log on as Admin
1. use the uninstaller from adobe
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/view...4157&sliceId=1
2. download the full version from
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/downl...ShockwaveFlash
it just installs the player for all the alternative browsers
3. and now manually install the active x control ( looks like this fails on
your machine )

Hope this helps, on my machine it only worked with manuall active x install.
