Flash player needs to be installed each time I use the computer

I need it for work and is a ripe old pain. Please help!

Reinstalled this morning. It worked to view videos on reuters.com. Turned off computer.
Turned computer on again in the evening. True to form, discovered it is not working again, and that I would have to reinstall it. But first, Checked System32 and SysWOW64 to see what files were there before doing a reinstall, and for comparisons’ sake. Previous to reinstall they are as follows :
Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash files are:
Flash64_11_1_102.ocx
FlashInstall.log
FlashUtil64_11_1_102_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil64_11_1_1102_ActiveX.exe
Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash files are:
Flash11e.ocx
FlashInstall
FlashUtil11e_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil11e_ActiveX
Note: I was right-clicking on each file name in the directory, then copying and pasting the file name into a new WORD document to make the above lists. This only worked with the System 32 files. SysWOW64 files could not be cut and pasted because I got the message, “Word cannot obtain the data for Flash11e.ocx link”. All the files in SysWOW64 had the same message. Lazy me had to actually type out the SysWOW64 file names as opposed to copy and paste. ;-) Could "inability" to "obtain data" have something to do with the system being unable to retrieve the code to make it work??? I run 64 bit.(see my first post above).
REINSTALL:
Reinstalled this evening from : http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Confirmed that it is enabled in “manage add-ons” in the browser.
Confirmed that same files as listed above are unchanged after the reinstall.
Rebooted.
Confirmed that same files as listed above are unchanged after reinstall and reboot.
Confirmed it is enabled in “manage add-ons” in the browser.
Hope this helps, cuz really need a solution. I’m pretty sure that once I turn my computer off this evening, and then next time I turn it on again, I’m going to have to reinstall Flash again.
Thank-you.

I am having trouble watching videos and movies. I have updated Adobe Flash Player and Microsoft Silverlight but each time I try to watch something I get the message that I have to install or update these programs... Why is that happening? Can it be fixed?

I have a MacPro late 2011 and each time I use the USB connection it freezes my desktop, also I have lost my windows OS on VMware Fusion, regards Bettws

Energy Saver is very problematic with non-Apple USB devices. Which means when you close the lid to your machine, those devices will not necessarily appear until you next restart the computer.
Secondly, Windows XP is not secure anymore, unless you pay Microsoft a special licensing fee. To avoid that, upgrade to at leats Windows Vista:

It is asking for your computer administrator account password to make system changes. You "should" have an administrator account password.

Do i have to charge my replacement macbook pro batter for a certain amount of time before using the computer?

First, if you have a Late 2008 or older MacBook Pro, you should calibrate the battery, as the battery for these MacBooks don't come precalibrated > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Then, the battery should come charged, so use it until the battery percentage is low, and then, charge it. You can use your Mac while your battery is being charged, and your MacBook will stop charging the battery when your battery is full, so you can unplug it at any moment

Some one suggested how to remove it and that did work. Computer going to Apple hospital Tues. July 3, thank you for all the suggestions.

There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
Delete ALL your email accounts.
Restart Playbook
Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON. Manual (push off) will burn battery.
Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required.
Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi.
Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.

Since installation of 8.1.2 I get an error message each time I use the browser--"a problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded". I have iPad 2.

I Have an iPad 2. Since download of iOS 8.1.2 every time I use the browser--usually Google --this message comes up "a problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded". Touchpad also seems slow and jerky.

Its not necessarily freezing - just being slow to build.
May have something to do with this being a secured site - I an giving Opera a test run & this part of the apple site does not go into compressed load - but the non-secure parts of the site do. The issue may be that some sites like apples just have too much unimportant junk on the screen because the designers are on an internal network a few offices away from the server and never see all the issues that com up.

Acrobat re-installs at the start-up every time I use the computer

Every time I start a computer Acrobat keeps re-installing.
First I get a message "Preparing to install" from the Windows installer.
Then I get a message "Please wait while Windows configures Adobe Acrobat".
And then I get a message "You must restart your system for the configuration changes made to Adobe Acrobat pro to take take effect. Click yes to re-start or No if you plan to re-start later."
If I click Yes, then after a re-start it all start from the beginning - I get a message "Preparing to install" again...
If I clink NO, I can use the Acrobat Pro, but this message is very annoying.... Also, it takes extra time before I can start using the computer...

Please back up your computer before starting any remedial action. System Restore is not sufficient for any catastrophic problems. First, I do not recommend the use of any 3rd party registry repair software. If you stick to using the original publisher's software to isolate and/or fix any problems you will generally be much better off.
In general, when you see the installer running right after trying to start an application, it means the installation is corrupted. Therefore, that's where I would begin troubleshooting.
After BACKING UP YOUR SYSTEM, I would try the following:
1. Uninstall the application.
2. Clear the Windows logs
3. Disable User Account Control
4. Disable any third party software which might be conflicting.
5. Reboot, if necessary, and then reinstall with Administrator privelages using the following procedure: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/400/kb400682.html
6. Upload (attach) your log to your next post so other people and I can look at it.
7. Check your Windows Event Log for error messages related to the installation routine. Copy any installation error messages to your post.
I'll take a look at the resulting log for unusual events.

Keep getting message from sites that Adobe Flash Player needs to be installed

I have a MacBook, OSX 10.7.5. When I try to download a document, I am told that I need Adobe Flash Player and that I should download it.
When I look on the Adobe website, to check something, I see that the newest version of Flash Player is installed on my computer. As a second choice, I was given, I could download Adobe Air, but that didn't work either.
I have no idea what I need to do to be able to get this information downloaded.
I'm not sure if this is the correct community of whom to ask this question.
Thanks for your help.

What kind of document?

Prior version to new one had facility to bring up frequent used sites. Now very frustrated, as I have to type in these sites each time I use the new system. I wish I had not upgraded! Now takes much longer. There is no stream lining here.

When I would use laptop before installing upgraded latest version of mozilla. I could go to frequent used site log and just click on a site and I would be straight into site of preference. Now this no longer exists with new version. I cannot find this anywhere, so now I have to type in each site I need access to. You have made it far less easier to use and it is much slower. Am I missing something here? Like google with there chrome version it is worse not better. I removed that too. Please advise otherwise your latest version will go the same way!

Mail problem. Each time I start the computer

Hi
I use Apple mail on my Imac 10.5. Every time that I start the computer and try to send mail a window tells me that my server does not accept my e-mail address. But it is not the server that is the issue. I go to connection doctor and I ask the 'assistant' to help and after running through the assistant several times the mail goes out. I also open the 'network' panel and this unlocks and looses my DHCP and Appletalk settings at each re-start so between the re-establishing of my settings here and running the 'assistant' many times I can after many frustrating repeats, get my mail to go...
This is a recent problem. I have not had any problem sending mail for the last 2 years.
Any ideas?
Bruce

Thanks for the replies.
The only way that I can get mail to be sent is to go to network and ask "assist me" to help me. But I need to go through the whole process many times and each time I go through the 'farce' of being told that the ethernet is connected, then cannot be connected and then connected again, my DHCP setting drops off and Appletalk disconnects.
I have no idea why Appletalk is involved...
After re-typing the DHCP name and reconnecting Appletalk and re-locking the padlock (which unlocks itself continually) and going to the "assist me" again and again, then re-setting the DHCP and making Appletalk active again, over and over, this process taking years off my life, sometimes, the mail goes out.
It is completely random and I cannot say which action triggers it to work. It just takes this going around in circles many times to trip something...
This problem started when I changed service providers. But I am connected to the internet continually and all other internet using applications work without interruption. The modem is functioning properly. My ports and 'authentication' fields are set as suggested by others (in replies to similar problems)
And this annoying and new issue occurs at each start up...

Before Firefox 4, each time I started the computer, it would load the windows I still had open when I closed down the night before. This has disappeared. Can I restore this?

Before Firefox 4, each time I started up the computer in the morning and clicked on Mozilla Firefox, it would load up the windows I still had open when I closed down the night before. Very handy! How do I restore it this terrific time-saving feature?
Thanks
