Hi All,

For some reason my windows 7 with sp1 will not let me install flash player 10 or 11, keeps on come back with general error after getting to 50% of the install, or its on about activeX will not register.

So I done an uninstall with the uninstall code and a reboot but it still will not let me install it.

Even tried it with kaspersky off with explore close, but whatever I try including what they say do on flash player site I can't seem to get it done.

So can anyone think of something else to try.

Ps it was working OK until I tried the update but even the old version will not go back on.

Just can't win now abode reader X has started to go on the blink and runs for a few minutes, then windows tell me its stopped and will now closes.

Bangs head against wall.

Plus there was an update but that failed due to it being put on by some other system.

could be a failing hard drive or a failing part.

At this point I'd run a memory test for a few minutes and see if anything bad pops up.

If that checks out, run check disk.

I'd still test. Any component can go bad at any time. I find often new components are most likely to fail within the first few months. I bought some new ram for one of my computers over xmas and had to replace it last month. Found it pretty quickly when I ran memtest and it failed. I replaced the new ram with some old stuff and memtest was successful. Took 10 minutes and sure beats buying a new system

well I said what I did because I've already tried the memory test and both in Linux and windows dos they all come back after 8 hours or more that they can't find anything wrong even when set at the highest level.



here's an image of what come up when a web page ask me to download and install flash player.

Oh I see, if the hdd tests out too then I dunno what it could be, other than a windows/driver issue.

If you're buying a new system, make sure you post pics

Also a google search for that error message revealed some stuff to check: specifically:
