Can't get macromedia flash player to download

[Guest]

I can't get flash to download. My shockwave works. I've tried everything to get it to download. I think the problem is with the Internet Explorer 6. Because when I go to add/delete programs and try to delete ie there is no fix it or (repair). When I try to go and download ie from microsoft it says I have the newest version of ie and will end download. I'm alson running XP. When I had windows 98 I could repair ie but now with XP I can't fix or repair the problem. Pleas HELP! I had to download Mozilla so I could play my flash games. But I like ie better

I'm having the same problems. I tried going to the Macromedia site and
downloading it numerous times... nothing happens. Shockwave works fine.
I've checked the security settings, and nothing seems to help.

Hello!

I have been having problems with flash of late. I usually use the free

version and up until a month or so ago, I had no problem viewing flash
content on the web.

However, it has lately been a big problem. I finally had to install

netscape 7.1 to view flash websites. While this is not a problem, I
appreciate being able to visit all websites in one browser window and not
have to use several.

I have downloaded many of the patches from Microsoft, as well as having

the Yahoo! companion bar. I have uninstalled and re-installed IE 6 as well
as the toolbar. I have not seen an improvement.

Is there anyway to know what is causing this? Flash simply will not work

for me in IE6. How can I fix this? I have also tried to install flash, but
it will not run after the install.

I've been reading on here, now, and see that I am not the only one having

this problem. I did find the getflash.exe (I run Win2K Pro), but it won't
work, either.
