Flash Player drove me crazy ...
So here's the problem. All of a sudden loads of web sites started directing me to Adobe to install the flash player that I already had installed!!
Very strange.. each and everytime it installed successfully, restarted IE7, I went back to the orginal website with the flash content and... you guessed it, still didn't work.
So I decided to uninstall it using Vista's unistall programs.. No dice, couldn't uninstall. So I was stuck with a PC that wouldn't play Flash, and wouldn't let me uninstall the player.. GREAT!!
Until I did a bit of digging about, and as always the last place I looked was Adobe's web site..
Uninstall using the Adobe utility
Of course, why didn't I think of that. 
Find it here
Reinstall and it works
Flashplayer homepage
So if you have this problem, I hope this helped.
