flash plugin and other flash issues

asked by about Adobe Flash Player Plugin non-IE

I found my activation but need to get back to add my name but in the meantime, I need to know how to approach Flash issues. I use Firefox all the time but at times some sites open IE on their own, so things need to work with IE as well. I frequently get alerts about needing both Java (have add-on showing Java status in the status bar but does not seem to be right) and Flash and always try to download the most up to date Flash but often it says that it will not download for a variety of reasons. I need to get this shaped up for good by someone who knows what to do.
