Flash Not Working

[growingalittle]

I have been reading posts all over the web about how to make your flash work.
I have tried uninstalling my old flash then downloading the newest version from the adobe website.

I have also enabled my javascripts and all that stuff. My security settings are on medium for ie. I know I have been able to view flash in the past, and even when I download flash from the adobe website and the "download complete" flash animation shows up and I can view it. But then I can t see anything else, and If i am sent back to the download page, no flash animation is viewable.

I am on my laptop, windows xp. I have no clue what to do!

In IE click on Tools and select manage add ons then enable or disable ...is shockwave flash object enabled? Under items that run without permission do you see shockwave active x or shockwave flash object? If no to either, try resetting permissions

Checked, and both are enabled. Thanks though. I've uninstalled and installed about 5 more times without any progress, dont know what to do!!
