yeah, same permissions. Uninstalling and re-installing didn't seem to fix the issue though. I used the latest Adobe uninstaller. Thanks for the info though!
How does the Flash autoupdate work? Never quite understood that. I ran the uninstaller, went to a Web page with the adobe player, and it seems to instantly have the Flash player installed back in again - so I assumed it was the autoupdater - unless the uninstaller I ran silently failed or something...
