    filehippo is just the site to get the tools. I feel that ccleaner is a must have. cleans out temp files and fixes registry errors in one free app.

    Did Ccleaner find a lot of redundant/corrupted files when you ran it?

    If it did, presumably you did delete them. One of the things Ccleaner does is removes files,etc that are incorrectly installed/registered. When you open Ccleaner click on the Registry button in the left hand pane and then click the 'Scan for Issues' button at the bottom. When it has finished analysing the registry click the 'Fix selected issues' button. It will ask if you want to backup the registry. Choose Yes or No (its up to you).

    After doing all the above, try installing flash again from here http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

    When installed find out what version you have here http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

    might want to do an aggressive uninstall using Windows Installer CleanUp Utility which can be found here.

    Reset, Repair or reinstall IE8. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318378

    Alternatively follow the Adobe troubleshooting page here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html

    Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove programs and delete all references to Adobe Flash. (Normally 2 entries listed as Flash Player Active X and Flash Player Plugin).

    When you have tried to download flash from here you say it will not install.

    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

    What error exactly are you getting that tells you it isn't installed?

    Note: make sure you are using IE when installing it from that link above and not running Firefox at the same time.

    There will not be any size listed because it is basically just an active x plugin.

    So is Flash working now or not?

    What version does it say you have installed when you go here http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
