settings.sol pop-up (flash, reinstall, how to, Vista)

[nezlie]

I keep getting this Copy Folder pop-up that says the settings.sol folder does not exist, the file may have been moved or deleted. Do I want to create it?

Whether I reply yes or no, the pop-up still shows up occasionally. Anyone know how to put this pop-up to rest? I'm running Vista Home Premium. Thanks.

settings.sol is an Adobe Flash file. Try uninstalling Flash and reinstalling it, that may fix the problem. I did a google search on the issue, and while there seems to be quite a few with the problem, there aren't many with the answer.

Thanks for the suggestion. I uninstalled and reinstalled. Let you know in a couple of days (or sooner if it pops-up again) how things are going.

Just for the record.... I run Microsoft Security Essentials..... had to disable MSE to let Adobe Flash install.... went into Ccleaner and disabled it in the Startup window.

I think a lot of computers got a Flash update notice yesterday.

If the Flash update doesn't solve the problem, you can delete the 100s of folders that contain seperate settings.sol files -

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Fla sh Player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys

Any site you visit that utilizes Flash will rebuild the directory along with the settings.sol file.

EDIT: Please note that there is no space after the a in Fla sh Player - a vBulletin setting is causing the space.
