    Is this with Firefox? There is a flash plugin uninstaller here.

    Uninstall first, using Add/Remove in the control panel, and then re-install.It worked for me about 2 weeks ago!

    Also , try downloading a redistributable version of macromedia flash player and installing it that way instead of direct from adobe website . Worked for me more than once

    Is this a shockwave player or flash player. There is a problem if you are using a limited (user) account on a windows machine that it wont let you view shockwave even though it is installed. You have to be logged on as an administrator or whatever.

    make sure you arent logged in under a limited account and check that. If you go to users in the control panel you can check.

    Not sure if this is your exact problem but worth checking.
