Disk Defragmenter and Adobe Fash Player

[Guest]

ok this may sound strange but I've seen it on 2 Vista premium computers
whenever I run Disk Defragmenter the Adobe Flash Player no longer works it is
still listed in the add-ons as active with no problems but on websites it
says it isn't installed that is until i use the uninstall tool, restart the
computer and reinstall the flash player. I am wondering a few things is this
a microsoft problem or a adobe problem the two programs really have no
relation and well is there a way to make this stop happening cause my life is
difficult enough without having to try and solve these little mysteries

Next, download and install the standalone version.

I have not seen this with defrag.
But I have had it happen as a result of using Windows Cleanup, and
checkmarking the DOWNLOADED SOFTWARE choice.

i did what u suggested and I tested it and it works thank you Windows Vista
has gotton such a bad rap so far on here but I will be honest if you take the
time to find the right drivers and the right software all is well and hell
asking for help doesn't hurt either. I personally love the new windows vista
and im building a brand new computer from scracth for it I am running it
right now in a base emachines W3052 with 2 GB's of upgraded memory and a
upgraded video card and it runs awesome
