Adobe Flash Player, update?

Suddenly, when I go to a web site, wifh videos they won't play, as on YouTube. A dialog box, says I must download latest version of player.

I have done this three times, each time, being told it was sucessful.

Yet when I go back to youtube, still no video and a request to download Adobe Flash player.

I also rebooted but with no sucess.

I also checked and my Active Scripting was enabled.

Not sure if this is the problem, but I did download Quicktime.player in the past couple of days. Could this be the cause?

Thanks for any help on this matter.

    Wow, you have done everything I would have advised you to do so the last thing I could suggest is that you contact Adobe flash Player themselves on the site where you go to down load there is usually a contact email or number hope that helps.

    I think it might be a problem with them because I tried to down load it myself and I got the same thing..

    Extreme caution must be used when a request to download a 'player' or anything from these social networking sites.

    This is currently one of the more common methods to trick folks into downloading malware.

    Updates for Adobe or other players should always be done through normal channels & procedures.
