I fixed the Flash Player Problem...Here's How

Question

Okay, this worked for me.  Whether it will work for you, I hope so.  Thanks to Duelly Noted for much of the work, and dumb luck for the rest.
First, you need 3 user accounts for windows.  When you open the start menu, on the top is the username and the icon you use.  Click on the icon, and it will go to manage accounts.  Now, make sure your account is set to administrator. Create 2 new accounts, and make sure BOTH are set as administrators, not users!!!
Now to make it simple, I am going to use letters to name the accounts.
A-Your main account, with the Flash Problem
B- A second account
C-The account you want to use as your new one
You need to download the Flash installer, on both A and C.  Here is the link:

While you are logged into A and C, you must install on both accounts.  Install to desktop.
In account A, download and install the uninstaller.  uninstall flash player with the uninstaller above.  DO NOT UNINSTALL through WINDOWS PROGRAMS! Run whatever you use to clean your account, Disk Cleanup, etc.  Restart your computer.  Log out of the account.   Log into account B, it takes a moment to set the desktop.  Then log out.  Log into account C, and uninstall Flash Player from there.  With the uninstaller!!! Now clean that account too.  Restart again.  Log out of C.  Restarting helps clean the old files out. Log back into B, and transfer all your files from A to C.  Then log back into B.  Here's how:
Click the start Menu, click computer, then click your C: drive. click Tools, click Folder Options, click the View tab, click Show hidden files and folders, click to clear the Hide protected operating system files check box, and then click OK.  Locate the user account for A,  where C is the drive on which Windows  is installed, and Old_Username is the name of the profile you want to copy user data from.  Highlight each  file and subfolder in this folder, except the following files:     * Ntuser.dat     * Ntuser.dat.log     * Ntuser.ini.  On the Edit menu, click Copy. # Locate the C:\Documents and Settings\New_Username folder, where C is the drive on which Windows XP is installed, and New_Username is the name of the user profile that you created in the "Create a New User Profile" section. # On the Edit menu, click Paste.  Log off the computer, and then log on as the new user. Note You must import your e-mail messages and addresses to the new user profile before you delete the old profile. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 313055  (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313055/ ) Mail folders, address book, and e-mail messages are missing after you upgrade to Microsoft Windows .
Now log on C.  Then make sure EVERYTHING transferred.  It worked on mine, but as far as Outlook, or Mail, your contacts should be imported, and hopefully your messages, too.  Then unless you are prompted to log in there, you will have to reset your settings.  If you don't know how, contact your service provider for your internet.
If everything is transferred fine, then make sure A and B are logged off.  But first make sure all your files and accounts are working.  Since C is administrator, simply delete A and B.  Then you are left with C, and a destination for a working Flash.  At this point, clean and defrag your drive.
Then install flash on C.  What I figure is the Flash Problem might be code, and if you have Flash on A and C, whatever problem transfers with your files.  Without 2 Flashes to go to, it just gets lost.
This worked great for me, I hope it works for you too.  I pray that I didn't miss a step, but as far as physical computer problems, I am great.  With software, I am still learning.  But between what I have been suggested to do, and a little bit of conjecture, I now have Flash.
P.S.  Adobe support is WORTHLESS on this!  I contacted them, and they told me they couldn't help me without registering my product.  But you can't since Flash is a free program and there is not serial number, which is the first step to register a program.  Then, they followed up with 3 responses asking if my problem had been solved, or to contact them.  BUT you just said you couldn't help me unless I registered.  Then they considered my problem closed and that was that.  I replied with exactly what they said to me, and reopened the case.  You know, just for the heck of it.  Then, HA HA, they sent me a survey asking how the help went for me.  Oh, I enjoyed that survey indeed.

Answer 1

I apologize for that.  Here is the problem I was having:
With two particular sites, espn.com and ign.com, though I have heard it happened on many other sites as well.  On these sites, the flash content for backgrounds, advertisements, everything else would run fine.  The issue was with the video content.  On ESPN.COM, if I wanted to watch a larger video the length of the screen, when I loaded it the screen would freeze on a still image, and the sound would play but not the video.  On the still image, a white play arrow would be static with a white circle around it.  If I called up the Flash settings menu, it would be inoperative, frozen, and you could not close it.  On smaller videos, the box would stay black with no picture, no sound.  If I called up the Flash menu, same thing would happen, frozen.  On IGN.COM, pretty much the same thing.  Other Flash content would load fine, but not videos.  On the link to a video, a Flash advertisement next to the video box would play, but not the video.  Occasionally, an ad would play in the video screen fine, but no requested video.  All black, with a frozen Flash settings menu.  That's pretty much it, sorry for leaving that out.  But on every other site I visited with video (ie. Youtube, gamespot, etc.) everything would run fine.  But the two in question are a couple of the sites I visit most, so I was on a mission to fix it.
