Are you closing Firefox before trying to run the Adobe installer?

You can try to run the Flash installer as Administrator.

Latest Flash player versions here:

I downloaded the versions you guys suggested off-line and all seems normal, if that is possible on the internet. I did notice the PLUG-IN was missing during the time I was trying to remedy the problem and now the PLUG-in is visible and activated to load on start up of the browser.

I really appreciate you guys sharing the information and taking time out to respond.

Have a nice weekend. Best Regards, Jim Stewart Pensacola, Fla.
