Flash Player no longer working in IE

Ok, I am asking this on behalf of my sister, who knows pretty much nothing about computers. I'm going to try and help her. She is using IE9. Anyway, she has Windows 7 Home Premium. This is what she gave me when I asked her to look up System Information:
os says version 6.1.7.601 service pack 1 and windows says 7 home premium
other os description not available
Not sure if that helps or not. She says she cannot play games on Facebook(the zynga ones) and it keeps telling her she needs Flash Player. But it apparently won't let her install it, or if it does, it still gives her that message saying she needs it. What can she do to fix this?

How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?

  • Adobe Flash Player no longer works

    Adobe Flash Player no longer works. I can't access FB games, videos, YouTube and other items needing Adobe Flash Player. I've uninstalled, re-installed, tried to update but was told not necessary as it is updated yet constantly get an error message that I have to have Flash Player before I can use that app. Any advice or suggestions? BTW, it worked Monday night but not Tuesday a.m. with no changes to anything in between.

  • Flash Player No Longer Works on Macintosh or Windows

    I have installed, reinstalled, done the permissions thing,
    tried everything - but Flash Player no longer works.
    Many of my friends have the same problem.
    I wish Adobe had never bought Macromedia. Macromedia was
    pretty perfect. I never EVER had a problem with flash before Adobe
    got involved.
    I have to install the flash player every single time I want
    to open up a browser now.
    I have a brand new MacBook Pro Intel, 15 inch - new OS,
    etc,....
    I've read lots of grief from windows users in these forums
    who are experiencing the same problem.
    Has anyone else had this problem on a Macintosh? Have you
    found any solutions?
    Any response would be greatly appreciated.
    much thanks

    It definitely appears to be a flash related issue, more then the browser, as i've tried different versions of firefox and chrome and they all have the same problem with the newer versions of flash

  • Flash Player No Longer Working

    My Adobe flash player has stopped working on Internet pages. (I can no longer view flash videos.)  I have a 64-bit PC using Windows 7 and am running Internet Explorer 11. I've made sure I have the latest version of Flash Player installed, but still no go. I've gone through some of the help pages on the Adobe website, but they have been of no help.

  • Flash player no longer works

    Two weeks ago Flash Player suddenly stopped working on my PC.  Coincidentally, a number of my friends are having the same problems.  We have all tried the recommendations given but none of us can get it to work?
    Why has it stopped working so suddenly?

    Hi again,
    I just checked my Display Adapter driver, and I have version 8.15.10.2509, dated 2011-08-31.
    I went to the Intel download center to check for new drivers for your graphics cards, and I found that mine is also slightly outdated; the latest version is 8.15.10.2555, dated 2011-10-19.
    Here is the download link: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=20601&ProdId=2991&lang=eng& OSVersion=Windows%20Vista%2064*&DownloadType=Drivers
    Click on the Download button, then accept the License Agreement.  You will be asked to run or save file Win7Vista_64_151718.exe - I recommend that you save it to disk.
    Next close all applications and open Windows Explorer.  From there (Downloads) double-click file Win7Vista_64_151718.exe
    P.S. just to be on the safe side, can you make a System Restore Point before doing the driver update?  See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-restore-point
    If anything in my instructions are not clear, please don't hesitate to ask for clarification.

  • Flash Player no longer works in Internet Explorer on Win8.1 after system tune-up

    I recently had my laptop computer tuned up. After the service I have lost the use of Adobe Flash Player. I have already done the basics. I went to Manage Add-ons and ensured Shockwave Flash was enabled. I went to Safety and ensured ActiveX was not checked. I also downloaded the latest version of the software; Flash Player 15. When I check the status on the Adobe site it states that Flash Player is installed but disabled. I have checked it a number of times and Shockwave is truly enabled. I can no longer watch videos and at those sites I get a message that states I need Flash Player to watch the videos. I have a Lenovo laptop with Windows 8.1. I have also tried with Chrome and have the same result. Flash Player worked fine before the tune-up and the company that did the service says it is a common problem with Windows 8.1 but offers no solutions. Does anyone have a recommendation or solution? I would greatly appreciate any assistance. Thank you!

    Hello Jeromie,
    Thank you for the follow up. I was aware that Flash Player is included with Windows 8.1. This makes it even more frustrating because it is included and yet doesn't now work. I have not attempted to install it but I did download the latest version. I am frustrated because there is no way to speak with anyone directly at Adobe as to whether there is a fix but I do appreciate your expertise and advice. I have done the system checker with no improvement. I have also updated Java Script on the chance that would help but that does not seem to be the issue.
    There is something blocking the enabling of Flash Player between Internet Explorer and Adobe Flash Player. Flash Player is enabled through Manage Add-ons but when the status is checked on Adobe it shows it disabled. I was considering resetting Internet Explorer to default settings to see if that would help since all this happened after my computer service. But that reset would permanently change any and all other settings I have done.
    I am going to try and find an expert tech who may be able to get this resolved. I am still hopeful that you or someone else reading this post may be able to offer a solution. If not, I will have to learn to live with it until Microsoft decides to correct the issue.
    Thank you!
    Ramon

  • Flash Player NO longer working wtih Win8 64bit IE 10

    I have an HP Win8 machine that I have had since the first week of Nov 2012 that Win8 came out....and while there were issues with getting Flash to work I found out it's embedded in IE10 and Win8 and it was working fine for almost a year...until a week ago...Now I get the GREEN screen of death on ALL sites trying to play Flash Videos in IE 10 only.  It works FINE in Chrome.  This is crippling my use of IE 10, and making things very difficult and there seems to be NO answer.  I have tried all the normal rigmarole from making sure Shockwave Flash is ENABLED, to disabling Active X Filtering, etc, etc...and NOTHING works.  I can't even install the BETA version of Flashplayer 11-9 b/c Win8/IE10 Blocks the install from even happening....PLEASE HELP.
    John

    Green screen is caused by one or more of three things.
    1. Outdated video drivers (not likely given it's a new comp) I have an AMD Radeon HD 7950 that came with this new machine and it's supposed to be a HD Video/Graphics card MORE than capable of handling Gaming and Video...never mind Flash.  I have already checked and my drivers are UP TO DATE and nothing is showing a Conflict and again...CHROME plays the same videos via Flash A-OK fine.
    2. Corrupted video drivers  Not likely as EVERTHING else works fine.
    3. Insufficient video hardware (again, not likely)  NOT the case.
    I'd recommend updatinf your video drivers to repair them.  I already tried and I am fully up to date.  Can't fix what's NOT broken.

    This link is useless as 99% of us out here are running Win8/64 bit in Desktop or Classic Mode and NONE of these issues are applicable.  I am not hating on your help, but it's SOOOO frustrating when two HUGE Companies like MS and Adobe cannot do a SIMPLE thing like this in LATE 2013.....

  • Flash player no longer working with latest update?

    I'm running Google Chrome with Windows 7, and after Adobe updated a couple days ago, videos on certain websites (ex. Vudu) stopped working. Netflix and Youtube videos continued to run perfectly fine. Today, youtube continues to work fine, but now Netflix has stopped playing videos as well. Most websites will give an error saying either it couldn't connect, the video doesn't exist, or the video will just sit loading and never play. I know my internet connection is fine, and as previously stated, I have had no problems watching youtube videos. I figure this has to be a problem with, or caused by Adobe since the problems did not occur until immedately after updating to the latest version. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    For Chrome, please see this FAQ for reporting issues and a possible workaround to try:
    How do I report a bug against Flash Player for Google Chrome?
    For IE, we're dealing with a different issue.  When troubleshooting problems with Internet Explorer, we recommend you first review the steps outlined in these two FAQs:

  • Flash player no longer works on a number of sites since the update in the last day or two

    I've checked around the adobe forums too, and while there are plenty of posts with similar problems, their support has only been giving the generic responses... and those dont work.
    Since the the update to the Flash Player plugin a day or two ago, most of comedy central, gametrailers and other sites video players dont show up or say you need to get the flash player.
    Anyone had any luck fixing this? I've tried updating to the latest release candidate 11.2, tried clearing out flash and firefox cache and i have hardware acceleration turned off... but no luck :/

    It definitely appears to be a flash related issue, more then the browser, as i've tried different versions of firefox and chrome and they all have the same problem with the newer versions of flash

  • Since recent update, Adobe Flash Player no longer works.

    Help please.  Recently I received notification of updated version, latest version of Adobe Flash Player for my MacBook Pro with OS X version 10.6.8.
    Flash Player was working and active prior to this update.  Since downloading the update, anything requiring Flash Player just puts up a blank screen.
    What to do.
    So far I have uninstalled Flash Player and reinstalled, but this has made no difference.

    I guess your machine is Windows 7.

  • The audio on my flash player no longer works; audio on non-flash applications still works.

    Overnight, the audio on my flash player stopped working. I am not sure when this happened or what caused it. The audio on non-flash items works just fine. I have tried all the troubleshooting solutions and none have fixed the problem. I even uninstalled and re-installed flash player. Flash player seems to be working correctly in all other aspects. I have tried other browsers, but the problem exists there, too. Have any ideas about what the problem could be? Thanks.

    It won't going forward.
