Flash Player And adobe reader not working and downloads don’t work

I have IE 8 and windows vista and everything has worked great for 2 years until 2 or 3 weeks ago.  At that time my flash player stopped working so I could no longer get videos , streaming stock quotes, weather map loops, etc and when I go to websites that use Flash (i.e. Piaaz Hut) it wouldn’t work.  Also, at that same time my adobe reader stopped working properly and I can’t view mosy PDF Files.

I have gone through many of the posts on this forum and have tried many of the fixes, but none have work for me.

I tried to uninstall the Flash Player, but I didn’t use the Adobe uninstaller.

Whenever I try to update or load the Flash player, a dialog box with the globe tossing papers to the folder appears and then after a few seconds I get the the message that IE can’t install_flash_player_ax.exe from fp download.adobe.com, and then a message that says IE was not able to open this internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.

 

In control panel programs I have listed

Adobe AIR      no size

Adobe Flash Player 10 active X           no size

Adobe Reader 9.3     141mb

Macromedia Shockwave player      no size

 

In Tools i have the following add ons and they are all enabled

 

Shockwave Flash object 10.0.42.34

Adobe PDF Link Helper

Adobe PDF Reader

Macromedia Shockwave Active X Control 10.1

 

As I said I’ve already attempted a number of the fixes on this forum, but so far no luck.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I might try?

 

Thanks
