I installed Flash 9 yesterday, and it says on the site and everything that I
installed it successfully, but now every once in a while on my computer an
error will pop up that says "Cannot find Macromedia Flash" but my computer says
I have it! Can someone help me? :sad;

I installed Flash 10 yesterday, and I get this pop-up. Interestingly
enough, I don't even have to hit "OK". I just move to another window,
and it goes away on it's own. I checked things running in the
background, but have no clue what is causing this.

I have the Safari browser and I'm also receiving the message that the plug-in
doesn't exist. Though I checked and I do have them installed. I can't browser
almost any webpage with Flash Content. I have tried all the steps in the
support page but still doesn't work.

I also had the problem. My theory is that its from custom screensavers
that are used by older versions of flash. I noticed that my screensaver
didnt work, and that the popup came up every time the screensaver ought
to.

The screensaver is exactly what the problem is. I had thought of it before. But its definitely related to the older screensavers not finding the correct version

I got a notification of an update available for Macromedia Flash and I installed it. After that I start getting the message. I don't think it has something to do with the screensaver. I think the message is generated whenever the event that triggers the screensaver occurs. In other words, something is executing whenever you leave your computer idle for a while

I started having the same problem shortly after upgrading Flash. I have a third party screen saver that would no longer work and caused the error message. I reloaded the screen saver, error message went away and the screen saver worked again

Thanks to everybody on Developmentnow. I've been going slowly mad with the 'Macromedia Not Found' dialog. Re-installed custom screen saver; problem fixed

Thanks for this - "Cannot find the macromedia flash" message was
really getting annoying, changed screensaver and it looks like the
problem is solved!
Very Sad :(

I am facing this error message on two seperate laptops; specifically screen saver not working after installing arcobat ver 9.0. Removing screen saver stops the error pop-up but not sure if it is the solution. :
