Adobe Flash is not working no matter what I do - I have updated Firefox to the latest version and Flash to the latest version to no avail - what can be done?

I have used your help processes and done everything that is suggested - repeatedly. I don't know what else to say. Whenever I go to a site requiring the use of adobe flash, the system freezes up for a couple of minutes or more and then it says that Flash has crashed. I have sent the crash reports multiple times. When I use Internet Explorer, I have no issues with Adobe Flash. I have Windows 7 64bit installed.

I had loads of problems with iTunes, could see all but it would not respond at all.
I downloaded Abexo free registry cleaner and Errorkill registry cleaner free for limited period with restrictions. I ran both and got rid of all the junk in the registry and then installed QuickTime standalone...all problems solved. May need to reinstall itunes AFTER Quicktime if this does not work.
Hope this helps.

  • Looking for previous post!! Windows update causing flash to not work?

    A few days ago i finally fixed my problem where some automatic updates from windows caused flash to not work on some videos.  I uninstalled these updates, but can't find the question/answer that helped me with my solution.  It had to do with uninstalling 2 windows updates, KBsomething... can anyone direct me to that post??

    Was it this post?

  • Adobe Fourms does not work with Opera too well

    Adobe Fourms does not work with Opera too well.  I have to use in Opera "Identify as Firefox just to post this message!
    I also have run into the same junk with Hotmail.
    Web Design Tip:  Always code for Opera and all other browsers will fall in line most of the time.

    I've installed a button in my Firefox tool bar to toggle iFrames on and off through a Firefox add-on called "Toolbar Buttons".
    The forum Reply Editor does not work when iFrames are blocked, so I need to toggle them back on when posting, then back off.  I imagine that's better than having them on all the time.

  • Help-Why is the new version of Adobe Flash Player not working?

    I recently restored my PC to a date of about a 2 months earlier and when Adobe updated to the new version it  stopped working. when I try to play any games or look at any videos that require Flash Player it says needs to update your version of Flash. I have updated it twice and then uninstalled and downloaded it again and restarted my PC. Still no luck. I am a dummy when it comes to computers so if you have any suggestions please explain them in dummy terms!  I appreciate any help!!!!

    I finally figured it out. Flash Player had not installed. I had to de-activate Active-X thru the safety tab on the menu bar and then download the Adobe Flash Player and now it's working. I re-activated Active X after I finished installing Flash,. Hope fully everything will keep working fine!

    Well, I kinda figured that was true, so I disabled it. Firefox does not lock up now. I suspect it might be a Google Finance page graph that is causing the problem, rather that Flash. Thanks for all your help. J

  • Latest version of Adobe Flash Player not working in Firefox13

    I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox (13.0) and then installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.257. Now when I try view on-line video clips the area on the page where the video player would normally display is a "blank" white space.
    This occurs on any site where there a video clip or amination
    The upgrade of the flash player however works perfectly with Internet Explorer. Please advise

    I love Firefox and I've honestly never used any browser for my Internet surfing needs. However, this bug has been a major problem for me and I've temporarily resorted to using a different browser until it's resolved. Hopefully that's soon before I get too attached to my new alternative.

  • Adobe reader does not work, what is best for viewing pdfs?

    While using Safari, I keep encountering a message that in order to view a .pdf, I need to download Adobe Reader, accept the end user agreement, then relaunch.  I have tried to do this many times and keep getting the above message. What program is best for viewing pdfs using Safari on an iMac

    Back up all data.
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
    Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Adobe Air ServerSocket not Working the same on XP/Vista/7

    I'm having a strange problems with an air socket server i've written.
    I have an Air application written using Flash Builder 4.  It's basically a simple HTTP server.  It's purpose it to open a server on a specific port and serve files (both html and swf) out to a web browser.
    When i run the air application on my desktop (windows 7, firefox 4.0b11, ie8, flash builder 4 compiled with flex sck 4.1.0) everything works correctly.  Whether i run the server through the Flash Builder debugger or actually do the full packaging and install as a standalone air app then run it using the Air Runtime like any user would.  I load up the server, punch in the address from anywhere and the page loads, and the requested swf displays correctly.  While the server is running on my desktop i've tested clients including Windows XP and Vista with IE8, HTC Evo4g Android phone, and the Playstation 3 browser.  From any tested client with the server running on my desktop all requests are handled correctly and pages/swfs load and display correctly.
    The problem comes when i run the air app on another computer.  When i package it and install it on one of my two test systems (Windows XP and Windows Vista) things start to go wonky.  The Air app loads on the two test systems but when a client tries to use their web browser to request a page things don't display correctly.  The client can load the html file fine but the swf that it receives from the server does not display.  I can check the log on the status server and see the HTTP GET being processed, and the file sent.  However, the browser simply displays a blank box where the SWF should be.  With the server running on either of my two test boxes (XP and Vista) the same clients who can connect and display html and swf's delivered from the server experience this problem.
    I think i've eliminated browser request as the problem from testing different browsers on different OS's on each of the test installations.  As best I can tell, the problem is with the server side of the app.  The server uses the SocketServer class to listen for a connection and then writes out the HTML headers and content to the socket manually, i'm not using any external libraries for writing to the socket.
    here's the code for writing to the socket when a swf is requested.
         var content:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
         var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
         stream.open(file, FileMode.READ);
         stream.readBytes(content);
         stream.close();
         socket.writeUTFBytes("HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n");
         socket.writeUTFBytes("Content-Type: application/x-shockwave-flash\r\n");
         socket.writeUTFBytes("Content-Length: " + content.length + "\r\n\r\n");
         socket.writeBytes(content);
    I don't believe the problem is with the socket write since it works on my desktop but not when the server is running on another.  I'm wondering if the problem is with an external system dependancy.  Are there any external libraries, visual c++ runtimes, tcp/ip libraries that Air uses to fulfil requests to sockets on different operating systems/versions?  I've been searching around the web and browsing through adobe live docs for a few hours on this but can't seem to find a resolution anywhere.  If more detail is needed, please let me know.  Any help would be much appreciated.

    I appreciate you taking the time to look at this.  Good to know I'm not completely crazy, that makes me feel a little better.
    The 178774 is bytesLoaded()   and 1096810 is bytesTotal() as seen by the swf.
    That's what i was experiencing.  The issue you're seeing with it running on vista of the swf apparently only loading 180k of the 1 meg is what i'm experiencing.  For me that  happens when the server side of things is running on my XP or Vista  machine.  On Win 7 it works fine.  Also, for mp3's it seems to only download the first couple seconds.  When i stream an mp3 from the server it only plays a couple of seconds and stops.
    Not sure if the index.html file that it serves out is small enough that it gets it in one cycle but for larger files it closes out the socket before sending all the data.
    If i get some free time tomorrow i'll see about getting an Ubuntu  virtual machine going and test it there as well.  I don't have access to  a mac to try it on OSX.

  • Flash does not work correctly in full screen after most recent Firefox update

    == Issue
    ==
    Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
    == Description
    ==
    Yesterday, firefox updated itself automatically. The "what's new" screen suggested that I update Flash immediately, so I did. I had a little trouble. I eventually uninstalled Flash and re-installed with the latest version, but it is now up to date. Now flash videos will not play properly in full screen. The picture will freeze for a few seconds with the audio still playing, the screen will go blank, then the video will restart from where the audio was when the screen went blank. Sometimes Flash will crash completely and I will have to reload the page to restart the video, even not full screen. Other times I get an error message that my video driver stopped working. I have checked and my video driver is up to date.

    I updated to 3.6.4 and when I went to NetFlix to watch the next show of a series, it said
    something like
    Installation complete, restart your browser.
    I restarted browser, same problem. Restarted comp. Same problem.
    I updated Adobe Flash 10.1, still same problem.
    But able to watch some vids on other sites, but full screen gave me the big blank white screen with audio only, had to click around in the dark ( so to speak) to find the minimize button.
    I did a System Restore to before the Firefox and Adobe updates.
    I then did not update Firefox as recommended and went to NetFlix and wellah, i can view the movies again.
    And Full Screen is fine.
    I then experimented and updated Firefox only, went to NetFlix and got same msg with no viewable shows.
    So did a System Restore once more.
    Staying at 3.6.3 for a while longer until I know I can watch my movies.
    I don't own a TV, so this is my only form of an occasional escape.
    I do hope this is figured out soon.
    With what I have done, it seems to be Firefox, Not Flash.
    Good Luck to us all.

  • Deep links in Flash Player not working

    The German support-team of Adobe asked me to introduce this question here again:
    They have already verified the problem with their systems.
    Chrome versions 21 - 33 (at least 32-bit versions on Windows (at least XP up to Windows 7) do no longer jump to Flash-links like
    http://www.domain.xxx/.../xxx.php#two
    All other browsers do resp. earlier Chrome-versions did jump correctly to frame / reference #two.
    It does not matter, what deep link you want to jump to (two, three, four etc.), Chrome always starts with „one“ - i.e. at the beginning of the Flash-animation.
    Like all other browsers (I successfully tested: Opera, Safari, Firefox, Internet-Explorer) Chrome should jump directly to the deep link #two, #three, etc.
    In August 2012 this bug was implemented in Chrome 21.
    You will find a test-suite explaining and showing the problem here:
    http://www.in-tanz.de/test-chrome/test.php
    Does anyone know any help?

    Chrome uses a proprietary build of the plug-in called "PepperFlash" because it's a PPAPI plug-in where the ActiveX and standard plug-in are NPAPI. That may have something to do with it.

  • Flash player not working.  can't watch video and can't upload pics to facebook

    flash player not working.  can't watch video and can't upload pics to facebook

    thanks for helping.  I have windows 7, internet explorer.  recently had to replace my hard drive, and compete reinstall of all software so still a few bugs on settings, ect.  not seeing any error messages.  video and uploading pics seemed to be fine until the last week.  not sure what could have changed .  I can still look at PDF ect, I'm not positive its the Adobe that is messed up, but the 2 things I'm having problems with, clicking on and watching video on espn.com and not uploading pics to Facebook, both just does nothing when I try them.  no errors, just black screen where its suppose to play or upload.  the trouble shooting for both sites say make sure to have the latest version of flash player, so thats why I assume something is wrong with Adobe.  when I do the self scan from this site it says I have the latest version.  my settings say the player is enabled
