Thanks for your response. It sounds like you selected "Never install
software from 'Adobe Systems Incorporated' " one time, and now you want to
undo that option.
To undo that option, try these steps:
1. Open the Start menu and type mmc.exe into the search box.
2. Press Enter to run mmc.exe. Agree to the UAC elevation prompt.
3. In the MMC window, click the menu File, "Add/Remove Snapin..."
4. On the left side, select "Certificates", and click the "Add >" button.
5. In the window that pops up, make sure "My use account" is selected and
click "Finish".
6. Click OK on the "Add or Remove..." window.
7. In the tree on the left side, expand "Certificates - Current User",
expand "Untrusted Certificates", and select "Certificates" under that.
8. You should see a few entries on the right side. Two will say "Microsoft
Corporation / VeriSign / Fradulent". If you have an entry for "Adobe Systems
Incorporated", select it, right-click on it, and say "Delete". (Agree to the
warning that pops up).
9. Go to Adobe's website and install flash player as you normally would:
http://www.adobe.com/go/EN_US-H-GET-FLASH
10. When you get to the second page, click on the yellow Information Bar
that says "This website wants to install the following add-on:...". On the
menu that appears, click "Install ActiveX control". Agree to the UAC
elevation. You should see the option to install Flash again.
If the computer gives you any error messages during these steps, please post
them here.
