I guess you have a Windows OS, so I will give you some advice concerning Windows OS. Propably there is something wrong with the Flash Player installation on your notebook.
I suggest you firstly, uninstall flash player using the Flash Player uninstaller from Adobe and then reinstalling Flash Player. Here are the steps to follow
1. Download Adobe Flash Player uninstaller from this link http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe and save it to your desktop.
2. Restart your computer
3. Exit all applications. Check the taskbar and the system tray to make sure that no user applicaiton are running. For example if you see icons for browsers or IM clients such as AOL Instant Messanger or Yahoo! Messanger, right-click the icon and select either Close or Exit. At the following screen you can see an example of how to close a system tray application (the application displayed is Digsby Instant Messanger)

You have to close any running application that may be using Flash Player. Such applications are web browsers, Instant Messangers (MSN, Yahoo! Messanger, AIM, etc.), swf files, Projector files (.exe standalone Flash Videos or applications).
4. Run the uninstaller. If any message asking you for permissions to make any changes to the system pops up, allow it (Yes, Allow, Ok).
5. Restart your computer
6. Visit the Adobe Flash Player webpage and check if the Flash Player is uninstalled. If the Flash Player is not uninstalled you will see some information like this
In that case repeat these steps to completely uninstall Flash Player. In case the Flash Player is uninstalled, then from that same webpage you can reinstall Flash Player.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling.
Try installing on a different browser like firefox or chrome.

Hello, Download and reinstall the flash player from below link ...and if possible try to use another web browser .. http://adobe-flash-player.en.softonic.com/
Thank You For Using FIXYA!!!!

I'm assuming that you were trying to install Adobe Flash Player. The best thing to do would be to remove Flash Player from your system entirely, and then try a clean install. Please go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html and click on the link following the word "Windows" below the text "1. Download the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller." Save this file to your desktop. Shut down ALL programs that you have running. Look in the system tray (next to the time) to make sure that everything is closed.

Run the uninstaller by clicking on the file that was placed on your desktop. You may be asked to restart your system. If you are, please do that before going any farther.

Once Flash Player is completely gone from your computer, please go to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/triggerpages/flash.html . Wait for a few minutes. When Flash Player is reinstalled, you will see a quick Flash animation in the middle of the lighter blue box telling you that your installation is complete.

Each time you upgrade your Flash Player, you should use this routine to ensure that no parts of the old version are left over to cause problems for the newest version.

Hope this helps! Diana Wellspring
