Installation worked then failed

I have had problems with playing any video content at all on my computer
lately. A message pops up saying that my security settings prohibit the Active
X controls, or that I have an old version of Macromedia Flash Player. I have
Windows XP SP2. I tried to solve the problem and it was working for a few days
then all of a sudden today I am getting the same error messages I got before.

Thanks, it worked. How do I mark this topic as solved?

Once again, my Macromedia Flash Player has quit working. So once again I tried
to uninstall it and then reinstall it using the links sent to me by Darren
McNally. It hasn't helped this time at all. Have tried rebooting, that didn't
make any difference. When I go to the page to install the player, and click on
the button to install it, it just keeps returning to the page again and again,
apparently without installing it. Now what do I do?
