    On a Windows XP, I am unable to install flash. Whenever I try, i get a "unable to verify" error. I've tried both the Flash website and ninite.com. Windows is real, not pirated. Any help on how to install is much appreciated.

    "unable to verify" is too vague a description.

    "unable to verify" what?

    Please provide the exact error message, where you are getting it, and what steps you went through to get it.

    I either go to the adobe website and try to down load it there, or go to ninite.com and use there downloader to try to install. Both give me just the error "Unable to verify" and nothing more. When attempting to find more information on the error, it does not give an error number nor suggestions. It just states Unable to verify.

    still don't get what the problem is.. unless you are using IE on a malware riddled system and some flashplayer (fake) based exploit is blocking it..

    flashplayer comes as an addon for firefox.

    "It just states Unable to verify."

    What is "it"??

    Is this a Windows OS message, and IE message, or a message from the website?

    The installer gives me the error. I shall try running it though a scanner, and will see how it goes from there

    it's probably not the installer.. it's more likely your system.

    WHERE are you getting this junk flashplayer installer from??

    Yeah, I did. Everything should work, but doesn't. Once I get time with the computer, I'm gonna try to run some antimalware
