Computer Trouble - Adobe Reader

[Keza52]

Hey guys, having trouble with adobe reader. Every couple of months or so i go to play a video on the net it says it dosent read it due to it not been downloaded yet, even though it says its on my system. Therefore to resolve it I have to download it again. Any suggestions to stop this happening?

Adobe reader doesn't play videos, it's for reading PDF files..... do you mean adobe flash player?

Are you sure it's not just making you update to the latest version every few months as an updated one is available? if so it's normal.

Yeah thats the one, my bad. Nah i dont think so I just go to play a video one day and it says I havent downloaded it yet. Beats me.

You could try the flash uninstaller to ensure it's fully removed from the system and then install it again from fresh.

Flash does need updating every now and again.

Maybe when you try to watch a video it is just downloading the latest release of Flash.

I would not worry about it.
