Windows 7 and Adobe Problem.

This ties into an earlier problem in my "Several Questions" thread that was ended before every question had been answered.

I bought a laptop with Windows 7, and I frequent a forum RP, which makes use of a Chatango chatbox.

Upon trying to edit some things on my profile, it pops up in a tab that says "Chat" and tells me I require several things:

An Adobe Flash Player Plugin (Installed)
Adobe Flash Player itself (Installed)
and specific Global Settings.


Now, the Player itself can make changes to my computer, but I'm not aware if the plugin may do that or not, since I installed it about two months ago.

So when I go into global settings, it presents me with three checkboxes in this order:

Don't ask again
Add Third Party Flash components
Store Common Components

The first box must remain unchecked and the others must be.

Here's my problem.
I click on box 2. Nothing happens, the box does not check (it says its the panel for global settings, not an image)

I check box 3, it says are you sure? Then the box doesn't check.

I check box 1. It actually works.

Is there something wrong with my operating system, version of Flash, or anything else?
