Flash Player 10.2 won't update

I work on a 32bit Windows7 laptop, with HDD 500GB and 4GB Ram.
Since the beginning of Marchl, I haven't been able to update Flash Player; when I get an update warning, and try to run it, I get a message saying I already have a previous version of FP installed and that I have to close down all programs and scripts using Flash...the only problem is that I haven't anything open; on my laptop, there's only Adobe Flash Player 10 Plugin for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome (the program itself is not even installed) - which I use to watch YouTube videos - who work perfectly; I have MSN Messenger, too, but it was closed when I ran the install.exe application.
When I got that message for the first time, I followed the Knowledge Base, used the Flash Player Uninstaller provided on http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.htm to delete everything; it worked and I installed FP 10.2.153.1. I tried the same this time, too, but it didn't work - once I reboothed my notebook, the Plugin was back on.
I have another laptop, with a 64bit Windows7 - HDD 250GB and 2GB Ram - where, last time I tried a few days ago, I could update it normally.
Some can help me, please? Especially since Adobe does not have Phone support for Flash Player (don't know if that happens in Italy, only).

Hi, thanks. I think you are reading too fast. You missed this that I asked:
Thanks. Go to Tools, Manage addons and under "Show"(very light text) look in those categories for Shockwave Flash Object.
It needs to be Installed and Enabled.
Also, at Tools, Internet Options make sure that under Security it is set at Medium for the Internet Zone.
Have you had any Viruses or Malware?
I need to know if that addon is Installed and Enabled. Plus the Security Setting above.
Now, one thing on your Avast & Norton. You shouldn't have two Anti-Virus programs running on the same machine. This causes your system to be unstable. You should Uninstall one of them, but make sure you use their Removal Tool available on their websites.
Right now the most important addon you need to find is the Shockwave Flash Object. I understand Flash Player is listed in the Control/Panel Add/Remove or Programs and Features. However, that add on is the CONTROL needed to make Flash Player work!!
Thanks,

    The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.

  • Firefox not recognizing flash player 10.1.82.76 update

    Hi, I have a problem installing the latest flash player update on my firefox browser. I got the the installer page (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/) and I install everything and follow all of the instructions, and flash player installs successfully, but it says it installed version 10.1.53.64. I've tried uninstalling the previous version with the instructions on this page (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html) several times, but it still shows the flash player version on the site, which means it wasn't uninstalled. I've also tried using the stand alone installer after disabling the adobe getplus plugin in firefox, but it still shows flash player version 10.1.53.64 as my current version in firefox plugins. However, I installed the flash player 10.1.82.76 update on to Internet Explorer 8 without any problems, it's just Firefox that I'm having trouble with. Thanks for the Help.
    Operating System: Windows 7 32 Bit
    Browser: Firefox 3.6.8 32 Bit
    Flash Player Version: 10.1.53.64

  • Why does an internet video site tell me I need to update my flash player when it is already updated?

    Hello.
    Have been watching some videos on some popular streaming websites like MegaVideo and I am getting a message saying this:
    "You need a newer Flash player version to use this player. Please click here and update your Flash player to the latest version or open the following link manually:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/"
    However I am updated my flash players to the lastest version. I even went to the about page to see that it actually updated. I even can see the spinning F.
    I have tried everything else I can think of. Please help.
    Browser: Firefox 9.01 (NOTE: I think my Flash Player was working before I updated to Firefox 9)
    Computer: 64-Bbit
    Anything either info I need to let you guys know?
    EDIT: Even tried it on IE9 and still get the same message.

    Opps. Sorry about that. Windows 7 64-Bit. And its only any on site that has Megavideo streamed, everywhere else works fine like youtube and such. When I get home from work I will see about taking a screenshot of the video and message. Was going to do that but forgot.

  • Updated Flash player, now it won't work, what is the problem?

    Updated my flash player to the latest version and now it wont play. keeps telling me to update to the latest version. tried uninstall and reinstall numerous times. restarted my computer and safari a number of times aswell. whats the problem?

    Are you sure that you did not install a fake? there are many and they look convincing.
    Did you download it yourself from Adobe's website, or was it handed to you by a Black/Red dialog?

  • After installing the latest version of adobe flash player, my internet won't work properly.

    I'm not sure if anyone can help, but you might know of where or who else I can ask. I have Mac 10.4.11 and yesterday my internet was working fine. My computer had just performed an automatic firefox update, as is usual. When firefox restarted it suggested that I update my adobe flash player, which I was pretty sure could use an update. So I did. I downloaded and installed the latest version. SINCE then my internet has been doing strange things. It often acts like I've lost my internet connection - I open a new tab or type a new address into the browser and it won't do anything or go anywhere. It doesn't tell me that I've lost my internet connection. It's like something's blocking it because it doesn't even attempt to load the new page or website. And I know that I haven't lost my internet connection. I have to quit firefox completely, and then re-open it for it to work, and even then it will only work for a few minutes at the most. I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it.

    Try relaunching Safari and/or logging out/into your Mac.
    Then browse to this Adobe page to verify you have the latest version of Flash installed -> http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html

  • Flash player for safari won't download

    Flash Player for Safari 7.04 won't download. It's not an antivirus issue because it's turned off, everything is enabled.

    Chris,
    My problem was that while the installer downloaded, the installation process always crapped out and gave me this error message: "Error: Unable to proceed with the installation". Tried everything and none of it worked. I COULD download v12 of Flash, but noticed that it used a different style of installer that has a simpler, "chunkier" progress bar and overall look, and doesn't ask about whether Flash should check for updates automatically until AFTER the install was done (different from the standard v14 installer, which has a skinnier progress bar and prompts you about auto updates before most of the installation happens).
    Just saw your post, downloaded the installer from the macromedia link you provided, and it installed fine! Superfast. Done and done.
    In doing so, however, I noticed that the alt version of the v14 Flash installer from your link also has the same simpler, chunkier type of installer as v12. is there a know problem with the standard (skinny progress bar) version of the installer and Mavericks? This has happened before, and I'm now just realizing that the installs only ever work with the "alt" style of installer.
    a) Is Adobe aware of this problem? are they working to make a fix so that i don't have to pull my hair out everytime there's a new security update for Flash?
    b) Would you please consider posting your solution in a more obvious place? I'm betting there are a lot of other Mac users having this issue, but because Adobe help can be sort of a byzantine mess (not you, obviously, but the system itself) I'm betting there are a ton of Mac users that are just giving up, like I almost did. Making this issue known, and positing the alt download will save many people many hours of grief.
    Thanks for posting your solution!
    Cheers,
    M

    Good morning
    I am also having issues with Adobe Flash Player.
    The automatic update feature, will not work for me and I find myself having to manually re-install Adobe Flash Player everytime I log into my computer.
    In the Flash Player Settings Manager
    In the default settings, I ticked Allow Adobe To Install Updates (recommended)
    but because it never actually automatically updates
    I have changed my default settings to: Notify Me To Install Updates.
    And I am running the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11.4.402.287.
    If someone could explain to me, what I'm doing wrong and why Adobe Flash Player won't automatically update for me, that would be great.

  • Flash Player 10.1 won't replace 10.0

    I am unable to upgrade my installation of Adobe Flash Player 10.0.32.18 to the latest version of 10.1. I am running Firefox 3.6.7 on an XP SP3 machine. I am not a system admin (this is just a workstation), but my account does have admin rights.
    In a nutshell, I installed 10.0 some time ago (and has worked just fine). When the 10.1 update was released and Firefox pointed out that I might want to upgrade, I did so, using the Adobe DLM software. It showed 10.1 being downloaded and installed, though once the page refreshed to show the complete installation, the Flash animation still shows 10.0.32.18 as the installed version. Checking my Firefox plugins confirms that 10.1 was not actually installed.
    I've uninstalled via Windows' "Add and Remove Programs" screen and then reinstalled, but I get the same thing. I've even used Adobe's uninstallation tool to no avail. No matter what I do, installing 10.1 results in 10.0.32.18 being installed.
    Any ideas?

    Hi, are you the Administrator? You need full Admin. rights to Install Flash Player. That Flash Player version is quite old. The Adobe Uninstaller is the only way to Uninstall Flash Player. Also be aware the Uninstaller removes Flash Player from ALL browsers.
    Someone not too long ago had Admin rights, but was on a domain and that didn't work. If you want to try again, I would follow the instrctions on the Adobe Uninstall guide and download the Uninstaller to your Desktop.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Download the Flash Player Installer for Firefox and SAVE it to your Desktop:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    Be sure to follow instructions on the Uninstaller guide, Close all browsers, Run the Uninstaller, Reboot, followed by the Installer and a final Reboot.
    Test here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Hope that works for you.
