Sorry to be a pain Chris.With ref to your link in the question U Tube downloads. I have tried to download the Flash Video Player 6 times without success, I click on download & then I wait & I wait etc. At one point I left my PC & half an hour later it was still at the same point.Ron.

Hmm.

You're not the first person to report problems with downloading the Flash player. My problem is that I can't remember if anyone's come up with a solution. ;-(

Take a look at your firewall's log and check that it doesn't show blocked traffic from Adobe. Then try downloading from this link. (I'm not sure whether it goes to the same server as the other one but it's worth a try):
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/index. cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform =Win32&P3_Browser_Version=MSIE
(That link is for Internet Explorer. If you're using Firefox, you need this link: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/index. cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform =Win32&P3_Browser_Version=Firefox )

Otherwise you might have to check the content listings of the 'free' coverdisks that come with PC magazines. The Adobe Flash player is probably on one of them.

You could also look through the questions (or post a new one) on this forum:

Lastly, it might be worth trying System Restore, to take your PC back to a date before Flash disappeared.

Thanks once again Chris, there's enough info there to keep me occupied for a day or three. Ron.

I had a similar problem recently, so I uninstalled both Flash and Shockwave then downloaded them again. If that doesn't work, you may have to remove them using the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility from here:-
