Flash disappears daily

I visit several websites that use animated clips (ex. Lumosity.com ) that require Flash to be installed. Lately, when I visit any site that requires animation, I get a message saying that I must download the latest version of Flash. Well, I do that and 30 minutes later I visit another site the requires Flash and I find out that the file that I just downloaded is gone. Imagine how frustrating this is when it happens at least 5 times a day or more.
Where do I begin to fix this problem running Windows 7 IE10?

Your Flash Player might be corrupt.

Uninstall it with the Flash Uninstaller,

Then try reinstalling it.

since the problem is recent, try a system restore to a date it was ok

Hi.

Please descibre in detail: "I find out that the file that I just downloaded is gone" - what file? the flash player setup file? You would not need the setup file for flash to continue functioning.
Also tell us if flash stops working on all pages or just on some.

Hello
Also I would recommend to try with different browser like Google Chrome, Opera or Mozila Firefox where probably you may need to install flash again but only once.
If its not a problem for you changing the browser give it a try

Reinstlling windows worked.

Ok, fine.

Next time, give feedback sooner - we could have helped you to avoid the reinstall.

you even did not try a system restore?
i don't see why you posted here, since the suggestions weren't used...
