FLASH PLAYER INSTALLS BUT WILL NOT RUN

I have installed Flash Player multiple times.  The installation indicates it was successful, the Control Panel and list of programs installed indicate that the program is present but when I run a web site that requires it, I get a message that I need to install it.  The Adobe Flash Player Help does not indicate that it is installed.
Running Windows 7 Home Premium , 32 bit; service pack 1; IE 9.0.8112  The computer is a Dell Laptop with  Intel (R) core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5800 @ 2.0 GHz  2.00 GHz with 3.00GB RAM.  Tech specs say 2.33 GHz is required.  Is this the problem?  Are there earlier versions of Flash Point that will work?  

I went to the discussion you referenced and did the following ;
                 Under Internet Options, I disabled Protective Mode and restarted the computer.  Flash Player  did not work.  I then removed Flash Player using Windows uninstall via the Control Panel.  I reloaded Flash Player with Protective mode still off.  After Flash Player successfully loaded, I turned Protective mode back on ( I didn’t want to run in unprotected mode)  I restarted the computer and Flash Player worked and has been ever since.  Thank you.

  • I have recently purchased finale 2011, and it installs, but will not run?  Any idea what the problem is?

    I have recently purchased the finale 2011 music program, and it installs without any problems, but will not run when I try to start up the program.  It acts like it is going to start, but stops when loading the plugins.  I have been talking with Finale tech support for three days, and they are coming up empty, but they are still trying.  Any ideas what the problem might be?
    Thanks,

    Try booting in Safe Mode (hold the shift key while booting until the grey progress bar appears).
    If you're able to log-in, then re-boot and log-in

    It was a beautiful answer but it didnt work for my IE 11 with windows 7 on my desktop HP Pavilion d4650e. It appeared to install after download but would not appear in the all programs line up when hitting start button. It just appeared in control panel. This was when I was having problems running something in shutterfly. Then a week later I was trying to use a usage program from my electric company and no go. BUT, I was able to use Chrome and get flash player to work. ?????????????
    It's NOT a program. It's a "plug-in" for your browser. In essence, a "piece" of another program.
    If you want to find it, go to C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash.
    You'll see the plug-in files there. There is a "standalone" Flash Player (Flash Player 12 Projector) which IS a program, but unless you specifically and manually add it to your start menu, it won't appear there either.
    Your problems with IE11 are just that; problems with IE11.
    Specifically, "User-Agent Strings"
    That may or may not mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
    Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
    The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
    Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess they've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
    They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Flash Player installs but does not work in Firefox

    I have installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled latest Flash Player. It says installing is complete but I cannot view any of the videos that require it. I get the msg that I need to install latest version.

    There's two different versions of Flash, ActiveX for IE and the Plugin version for other browsers.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />
    See this: <br />

  • Software installs but will not run

    The software installs but when you try to open it the window flashes on the screen for a split second and then goes away. Has anyone seen this problem before? Please help!

    My anti virus was already disabled. I uninstalled Quick Time and made sure there was nothing else running like a fire wall or anything. I tried to install it again and it would install the ipod but not the itunes.
    I installed everything on a second computer and it went off without a hitch.
    Any ideas??

  • ITunes installs but will not run post install in SERVER 2003

    I have MS Server 2003 as my OS. I haven't used iTunes in a long time because I never got it to work on my computer. I downloaded anapod explorer and that has worked well for me, but I really would like to try iTunes again as I have several friends that tell me how wonderful it is.
    Anyways, I install iTunes and it goes through the initial setup procedure, then will not actually show up. I see iTunes.exe in my task manager for about 10 seconds then it disappears. No error message, no nothing. I've tried new versions, old versions, standalone quicktime, deleting "ipod/apple" anything out of the registry. I've force-disabled DEP.
    I'm a well seasoned windows user, not so much mac stuff, but I've been messing with this for 3+ hours now, and can't seem to get it to run.
    Suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

    I don't think your OS is on the list of supported operating systems, but still.
    Does your Quicktime work? iTunes can't work without it and the fault seemed to relate to a Quicktime file.
    Sometimes installing the stand alone QUicktime works.
    First completely remove Quicktime using the method here: it is not for your OS but I expect you can adjust.
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    When you come to the system32 folder you can remove any file with Quicktime in the name.
    There can also be problems with incompatible codec packs. If you have any of the following:
    ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
    Uninstall them before installing the stand alone QUicktime.
    Download the version of Quicktime that does not include iTunes from here:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    Note that it is not the default option.

  • ITunes installs but will not run. It says it was not installed correctly?

    I have tried installing the new iTunes (19/2/13) and when I try and run it, it comes up saying 'iTunes was not installed correctly, please reinstall' and error code 7.
    I have tried repairing it, reinstalling it and installing an earlier version. Please help.

    A complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related software components is worth a try (7s can indicate trouble with other software components like Apple Application Support). See the following documents for instructions:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    ... But if no joy there, let's check to see if there's a .NET issue underlying this:

  • Flash Player 10.2 will not install - not same problem as Audrey below.

    Hi,
    Using Win 7 home deluxe, was using Flash player no problem until the office had me uninstall it to fix another problem but now will not reinstall, keeps insisting on installing Mc Afee alongside it and then Mc Afee won't install correctly and won't allow Flash Player to install either.
    Have repeatedly uninstalled the full Adobe free software suite, and Mc Afee and started from the beginning have tried using the 32 bit IE instead of thr 64 bit, when the window comes up showing the registration it only shows the Quit button will not let me use the Agree or Install button and again and again it keeps installing Mc Afee without being asked, I don't use or need Mc Afee as have Nortons.   I have also been turning off the norton antivrus while doing the installation as i know that can interfere with it.
    been trying this on and off for some days now, multiple times, and I do need to get this fixed I would appreciate some advice thanks

    Yes Friend and I posted a message of thanks also which I'm very pleased to send to you personally, the missing link was that little check box you mentioned, I had done the install or tried to many times but never seen that small box so that was the problem.
    Very grateful  - thanks very much for your time and patience !!

  • My adobe captivate6 installs but does not run on my windows7 dell inspiron

    my adobe captivate6 installs but does not run on my windows7 dell inspiron with 4gb ram and 500gb hdsk, i downloaded the trial first 32bit and it installed fine and didnt run. so i thought that a full version with a 64bit installation will do the trick, but after that the captivate 6 did not still work on my system. i also tried it on an acer with duo core and the captivate software installed and did not still work. it only shows the captivate flash screen.
    a friend installed his on an acer laptop 64bit, i3processor, and it works fine. please i will be glad if i can be helped on how to correct this
    thanks

    Have you tried right clicking on the Cp icon and selecting Run as Administrator?  This is something you MUST do in Win7 but was not necessary on Xp.

    Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.
