User Accounts with Flash Player

Question

The Flash player will only work with 1 account. I have 4 user
accounts on my
computer (Dell, dimension2350, 512 Mb ram, Windows XP, SP2).
ALL accounts
have administrative privilages. I am using Internet Explorer
6 (was using 7
and uninstalled it hoping that would help). I have
downloaded, installed,
uninstalled, etc. the player numerous times in each account.
NOTHING works. I
go to Adobe web site and run a test for the player and it
works fine
there---only there. I go back to a web site such as CBS news
and it will NOT
work. The site says I need to download and install the
player. What is wrong?
There is NO spyware, virus, adware, etc. on this computer. I
run Zone Alarm,
AVG anti-virus, and Spycatcher in an active mode. I am not a
computer genious
but have a working knowledge of functions and operations. Can
anyone help?
Thanks,

I tried awsmore's idea with no success, along with a couple of other things. Here's what I finally had to do:
  I logged on as Administrator and ran the Flash Uninstaller.
Then I went to Control Panel/User Accounts and changed the account that was a Limited account to an Administrator account.
Logged off Administrator and logged onto the old Limited account (which now had administrator rights)
Installed Flash from the old Limited account.
Logged out and logged back in to the original Administrator account, went back and changed the Limited account back to limited.
BTW, Flash worked fine in the Administrator account although it had been installed in the other account.
Logged back in to the Limited account, which was now really limited again, and it worked fine.
  Which makes me think that it's not just something keeping Flash from running in Limited Accounts, it's not installing there in the first place.
  Hope this helps someone else.
The files were installed with your user account as the "Owner", which essentially gives you administrative access to all flash player functions on the computer, even when you change the account from administrator back to limited.
This problem persists in Flash Player v10.2, six months after the fact.
