    I've been having problems installing flash player 9 I have tried almost everything. I have tried the standalone download. The error message states that I dont have the required access and I should run this programme from an admin account. There is only one user account on the PC. I have tried to set up another account as an admin. However It didn't work. I have also to system restore to an earlier date because flash player used to work on Msn messanger.I have uninstalled flash player and tried to re install but now nothing works. Can someone help me please????

    Go to Start-Control Panel->Users and Accounts and select your account. If it says it's an administrator account, I suspect your machine is compromised.

    download CCleaner, Lavasoft adaware and download a trial version of PC-Cillin Internet Security 2006. Install ccleaner which is free and clean your windows files and choose the issues tab to repair errors. Install lavasoft adaware 1.06 personal and scan your computer and do the same with the 30 day trial period of PC-Cillin. Counterspy 1.5.82 is another good spyware program offering a 30 day trial period as well.

    Hope this helps!
