Why wont 'Flash player' stay installed?

[RsC]

Runnung Vista Home Premium on an Advent T9408. 320gb,  Intel core 2CPU 4300 @1800GHz, 1022MB Ram, 32bit system.

Every time I try to run something requiring flash player I'm asked to download it, so I do, receive a message stating it's been downloaded then try to run it and get asked again to download - it just doesn't seem to stay on the machine.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Are you electing to automatically install directly from the download or downloading and manually starting the installation?  If the former, try the other approach, i.e. downloading the file first, then right clicking on it and selecting "Run as adminstrator".  Does that work?

Also..you may want to uninstall it, first, using Control Panel.
You'll find two instances of Adobe Flash.

Thanks to all who replied.

Installed the removal tool as suggested, followed removal instructions, re installed the flash player and now all seems to work well. I guess there was a corupted file in there or something.

However all is working and thanks to everyone again for their help, assistance and interest in what may have seemed such a simple problem but had been a real pain without the player.
