Installing Flash

Hi Leo, I am having a problem with Flash media player. There are a lot of sites that I go to that advise I don’t have the proper, most up-to-date version of Flash installed on my computer. So I click on the ‘Get Flash Now’ link, follow the instructions, install and then see that I’ve installed. But it also gives me a message on my toolbar that Active X was installed in an unsafe way, or that it will be used in an unsafe way, and therefore it doesn’t look like I have Flash installed, so I still can’t view certain pages, movies, etc. HELP PLEASE!! :) Thanks, Danny.

If you have installed the latest Flash you shouldn’t see this error message. The page is supposed to make sure you have a current version or later. If you’re getting this message it’s more likely that Flash isn’t properly installed on all your machines. I’d download the standalone Flash installer, close all browsers, and run it.
