    Well flash is definately on your system because it is listed in Add/Remove.

    Open IE and go to Tools > Internet Options.

    On the Security tab click the Custom Level button.

    On the Custom Settings drop down menu select Medium and click the Reset button. If a warning message appears click Yes.

    Then click OK > Apply > OK.

    Close IE and reopen it.

    Now try a flash page.

    Presumably you have antivirus installed. It may be an over sensitive anti virus causing a security problem that is preventing flash from being utilised.

    Temporarily disable your AV and try the flash sites.

    Failing that the only other option is to follow the instructions here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html

    I know you said previously you are worried about editing the registry but if you create a restore point first you will have the peace of mind that you can recall the restore point if it doesn't fix it.

    To create a restore point go to Programs > Accesories > Sysytem Tools > System Restore

    Good work Rev, I wonder where Don is from, perhaps it could be a starter edition of windows, or some regional issue.

    Im assuming they have exited IE before trying to install Flash. I would try the full uninstall again, and then just go to adobe.com/flash and theoretically it should detect the missing activeX and pop-up to allow the installation.

    Also, is there Spybot running with the IE lockdown.

    Very interest case though.
