2. A required file (c://windows/sysWOW64 (Macromed/Flash/Activex.vch:5) could not be written due to insufficient permission.
3. Adobe Flash Player did not sufficiently install.
I checked my Control Panel and it shows the following installed programs:
Adobe Air
Adobe Flash Player II Active X
Adobe Flash Player II Plug Ins
I do not seem to have this problem when using Firefox; I am able to view videos. But for some reason I prefer to use Internet Explorer and therefore, keep encountering this problem. I then have to switch to Firefox to view the video.
Any simple solutions? I am completely computer illiterate. Thank you.
After posting my original question, Using IE, just clicked a video attachment to an email. The video DID open and played with "big time skipping". However, I still get message at bottom of TV site saying" This website wants to install Adobe Flash Player". So problem must still exist. HELP !!

Here is a good place to start.

Obviously, make sure that your signed in using a user profile that is setup as an administrator. Then follow these instructions:

1. Go to Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player then click download. Save it to somewhere easy, like your desktop(for ease of finding it later).



2. Locate the newly downloaded file. Right click on it, and click on 'Run As Administrator'. You will get a warning message asking if you really want to do that. Click Yes, OK, and/or Continue, and follow the installation instructions.
