I've also tried unstalling my current flash through my control panel, then using the unstall software from the macromedia site, afterwhich I re-installed flash 10 from the macromedia site. But, none of that worked. I've had this problam for a few months now, and what's strange is that the problem only exists under my administrator account. Flash works perfectly fine under my guest account. Please help. My computer is an HP dv9000 with a AMD Turion 64 X2 processor. My OS is Vista Home Premium.
