Reader Question:
“Hi Wally, I am having problems with Adobe Flash Player and wondering how to fix it?“ - Ashley R., Canada

Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:

Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.

Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.

Overview of Adobe Flash Player

The Adobe Corporation has been at the forefront of ensuring that computer users are provided with the right products to enhance their PC experience. Over time, Adobe has continued to release new products that have added a lot of value for everyday computer users.

One of the major products that Adobe is well known for is Adobe Flash Player. This is a software media plug-in that is used for viewing multimedia content on the Internet. Because the Internet is now populated by high-bandwidth multimedia applications such as 3D graphics, games, sound as well as video, Adobe Flash Player has enabled websites to seamlessly provide this content to end-users. In order for you to use most interactive applications on the Internet, Adobe Flash Player software must be installed.

With Adobe Flash Player software, you can enjoy a rich web experience and get the opportunity to interact with high-level multimedia applications. The primary advantage of Adobe Flash Player is that it can run on several operating system platforms without experiencing any incompatibility issues, as long as the correct version is installed. Adobe Flash Player has also been built for mobile platforms; therefore you can also enjoy multimedia applications on your mobile device as well.

What Problems are Associated with Adobe Flash Player?

Errors associated with Adobe Flash Player depends on where the error is originating. Because Adobe Flash Player is software that is downloaded by millions of people around the world, many problems have been documented during the download and installation process.

A common error that is usually associated with Adobe Flash Player is “Having problems installing Adobe Flash Player”. Such an error is usually caused when a user has finished downloading the program and is running an installation file on the computer to complete the installation.

When faced with this kind of problem, it is usually important to check whether your system meets the minimum requirements for installation. Issues such as available disk space, RAM capacity, and processor speed should be verified.

Also, it is important for you to also check if there is an older version of the program installed on your computer than what is required by the application you are trying to use. If so, it should be uninstalled completely, and the newest version should be downloaded from Adobe’s website and installed.

Downloading the latest version of Adobe Flash Player is always a wise thing to do since Adobe releases new updates and versions of the program pretty frequently, and it is often hard for us to keep up on the latest versions. Regardless of the problem encountered with Flash Player, it is always important to ensure you have the most current version of the program installed.
