Do you atleast see this type of info. under Manage add-ons?

[Cassidy624]

nope. even after i installed adobe flash player it didn't show.

[jason2074]

Have you gone thru your program files to look for an Adobe folder? To verify if its really installed.

[Cassidy624]

about a million times.  i've been uninstalling and re-installing it about a million times an it never works.

I don't think flash player installs to an Adobe folder in the program files.
Do you have Adobe Reader install? If you do that's why you probably see an Adobe folder

[Cassidy624]

I know I have the pdf reader installed, and Adobe Download Manager installed also.  I've tried to install flash player, but it never shows after it says that it was installed successfully.

Thanks Carlos. Just gone thru the folder. I thought of files association. Anyway, how about into flashplayer support and trouble shooting :

that's the first thing i went to when this happened, and it still doesn't work.

When you click start then all programs, there should be two internet explorers. Do you see two of them there?

[Cassidy624]

yes. there's internet explorer (64-bit) and internet explorer.  flash doesn't work on either one of them.

About a week or two ago, I lost Adobe Flash Player on my laptop.

Did you make any changes to your computer right before this started? Did you install any programs or download anything?


Have you tried system restore yet?

i don't quite remember if i downloaded anything before this happened.  i did run the system restore to see if it would come back, but it didn't.  do you know if system restore, restores a computer to it's original settings when i was first used or if it only works from the last thing you downloaded?

[Cassidy624]

ah. never mind. the article says 90 days.  but yeah, system restore was one of the first things i tried, and i didn't get flash player back.

I think currently, there is only the 32 bit version of flash player. In that case, 64 bit Internet Explorer can't use it.

But Adobe is rolling out a 64 bit version of flash player so pretty soon 64 bit internet explorer can use it.

I think it's not out yet (unless someone posts me a link verifying i'm wrong).

That should be the reason why you can't see flash videos on 64 bit IE even though you have flash player installed
