I can't install Adobe Flash -installation keeps failing

Firefox

I run Windows Vista, and have been using Firefox as my browser (current version). In May some time Flash stopped working on Firefox. It works fine on IE8. I have uninstalled Flash and reinstalled it - successful on IE, and uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it, then tried to install the Flash plugin, all to no avail. When I try to install it manually nothing happens. Is something changed on a security setting that is preventing this? My cookies/pop-ups allow adobe.com on Firefox. Any help would really be appreciated.

There's two different versions of Flash, one for IE (ActiveX) and another (Plugin) for other browsers, including Firefox. Are you downloading the correct version of Flash for Firefox? Are you closing Firefox before running the Flash installer? Have you tried installing Flash from an Admin user account in Vista?

Thanks for your reply. I am the admin account in Vista. I always log in as admin. Is there a setting within admin preventing me from loading the plugin? If so, I have been able to load other plugins without a problem.

I can't install the plugin with Firefox closed. It tries to load on the browser. For example, I get the message that a plugin needs to be installed from the top of my browser window, I click on it, it takes me to the Adobe license page, I accept, and it takes me to a window where the plugin is being loaded. Then a window comes up that says "Completing the Plug-in Finder Service" which says "No Plug-ins were installed, Adobe Flash Player 10.3.181, Failed" I get the Manual Install button, but when use that to go to the Adobe page, and try to install manually, nothing happens - no acceptance of license, nothing.

I have another computer - newer - with Windows 7 - and Flash loaded and runs fine on my Firefox browser on it.

Any other ideas?
