Flash Player not working for IE8, FF, Chrome

Hi,
I have Windows XP 32-bit, and I upgraded to flash player 10.
I went to youtube (and various other sites) and tried to watch a video, all I get is a black screen where the video is. It doesn't have the icon where it says "flash player needed"
I have un-installed and re-installed a couple of times. I even went to other browsers but it's all the same. and it is showing up on my programs list.
the files in my C: drive are:
Flash10i.ocx
FlashInstall.log
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.exe
Note: I tried using the Adobe Downloader but it kept saying "SSL not able to connect" or something. This is a laptop issued by my company and I got Flash Player 10 files from our own website as we have to maintain all upgrades.
Thanks.

Hi, Have you tried to turn off the hardware acceleration feature? If not you can go to the Adobe test site and right click on the Flash logo and click on Settings, then on Display Settings to UNcheck H.A.
Then also check the IE manage add ons for Shockwave Flash Object and make sure it is Enabled.
In FF, look in plugins for the Shockwave Flash vs 10.1.82.76 and make sure it is Enabled.
Flash Player is embedded with Chrome, so there shouldn't be any problem with it.
See if that helps.
Thanks,

New flash player not working for all users

I have Flash 10.0.22.87 installed on a freshly built Citrix 4.5 PS. When the administrator is signed in, everything works just fine. When my users sign in, they navigate to a webpage that requires flash and it either tells them that Flash is not installed or it prompts them to install (but does nothing when you tell it to).
Did flash player become profile specific with this new release? I have 10.0.12.36 and 9.0.115.0 on my other Citrix servers and they work without issue for all users. I've tried uninstalling with the utility I downloaded from adobe.com and re-installing with the offline activeX control. I've played with the security settings opening thing wide open and it still does not work. There is no different software between the problem server and the other Citrix servers other than this version of Flash.
Any suggestions? Thanks in Advance

I am experiencing the same problem on my LAN. Administrator account the app works fine, end users sign in with non admin accounts and it will not work.
I spent some time reading online and found the following instructions on the NET. I tried them and I thought it worked because I was able to log on as a non admin user test account and the flash player worked just fine.
Log in as Admin
2. Download the following zip file from here:
www.supportflash.com/reset_all.zip
3. Unzip this folder onto your desktop.
4. Drag both files ‘reset_min_all.cmd’ and
‘subinacl.exe’ to your
desktop.
5. Run the reset_min_all.cmd file.
6. It will open a DOS like terminal and start
running through registry
keys.
7. When it is finished it will say “press any key
to continue”.
8. At this point you can install the latest Flash
Player:
for Internet Explorer:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/ts/documents/tn_19166/Install_F
lash_Player_9_ActiveX.zip
other browsers:
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
9. Check that Flash Player is working for the
Admin.
10. Check that Flash Player is working as the
other 2 users.
I hope this information helps. Feel free to reply
if you need further
assistance on the issue discussed here or file
a new case if you want to
report a new issue in the Support Portal:
I also found 6 different versions of Version 8 that supposedly does not require Admin priveleges but it does. Back to the drawing board.

Flash Player not working for Youtube

I have Windows Me (yes im very old school) and am using Internet Explorer and for some reason flash player 9.0 will not work for youtube. I was just on youtube, watching some video, listening to music and it was working perfectly fine. I clicked on another video and got a message that 'javascript might be turned off or I got a old version of flash'. I downloaded flash again and youtube still will not work. The weird thing is if I go onto different video websites, I can get videos to work, just not youtube.
If anyone has any suggestion or things I can do to get youtube to work again, I'd appreciate it a lot. Thanks guys!

I was playing YouTube videos for an hour last night then YT says JavaScript/Flash Player Error. So I installed the new version w/o uninstalling the old one & I'm still getting the same error (in Firefox 3). Then I went to Control Panel in Win XP Pro and uninstalled 2 items of Adobe Flash so there were none left. Rebooted. Reinstalled the new version of Flash Player & I get no improvement. I've griped at YT Help, now I'm griping here. I can see YT videos embedded in MySpace Forums. I can watch the 2 videos in my YT Video Log at full screen even but the HQ/Normal button is missing for some reason). But if I try to play any other YT video, I get the JavaScript/Flash Player error message and no video box. I can hardly navigate around my YT channel at all now. I can't do much of anything but log in, log out and look at two video log videos.

Adobe flash player not working for youtube

Hi,
While I was trying to install Adobe Flash Player for Microsoft Internet Explorer, the installation process got stuck half way and I tried to terminate the installation. But I had difficulty even terminating the installation process and IE and my computer crashed together. Normally I use Firefox to surf the internet, however after the computer crashed and when I restarted my computer, Youtube videos just couldn't be played in Firefox. What I have since done was to upgrade Firefox to 3.6.18 and I have uninstalled + reinstalled Adobe Flash Player. However that still doesn't solve the problem. The Youtube webpage only shows a black box with no control boxes. However other websites e.g. Metacafe, which uses Adobe Flash Player to play video files are working perfectly fine. This is highly puzzling to me and very frustrating. Could anyone please help me with it? .
How do I mark this thread as a question?
Now, I was reading other threads and came across 1 suggestion to change the http:// to https:// and now the youtube videos can be played. How amazing :O. But that would mean that everytime I have to manually change the URL to access the video. This is so strange. Any suggestion what has happened? Thanks.

Hi, Since youtube/Google have not responded to the issue, no one knows for sure what their problem is. This is what I found and posted here last night. Then what I found and posted this morning, which you evidently found about the https.
It appears either one or both are being used to try solving the issue. It's been users coming up with these, not youtube nor Google. It effects all browsers, even Chrome. The only one I haven't seen so far is Safari. Flash Player version doesn't matter, nor Operating Systems.
From last night:
YouTube just updated their video player, so the old version could still be cached in your browser causing it to fail. I would suggest rebooting, and if that's already done then make sure your drivers are up to date.
If that does not work make sure you download the new version of flash. Posted3 hours ago
No, I had the exact same problem but it worked the second I cleared my internet cache which could have to do with what another user above said about that.
Go to tools, options, clear recent history, and only check the 'cache' option, clear now, okay, and then refresh or exit it and open it again. I didn't even have to restart my browser. I'm using firefox too, by the way. Good luck! I hope this helped! Posted 2 hours ago
From today 7/7/11:
Now youtube is having major issues as you could read from what I posted. There is nothing wrong with your computer nor Flash Player. Here is what many users are doing in addition to clearing the cache, history etc.
They are using https instead of http. So try it. Here is one that you can check to see if it works. If so, use the https until youtube/google respond.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1RiMHpUi1w
Until we hear from youtube or our own Flash Player Team, since I'm sure they are in touch with youtube, I don't know what else to do.
My guess is, that if youtube changed their video player for the videos, then that would be a factor. Right now it is a wait and see.

Flash Player not working in IE8 or IE9

Had been using IE9 and all of a sudden had problems on all sites with Flash. Went to a website and was prompted to "Click to install activex control: Adobe Flash Player". When I click to install, I get the error message that the "Flash Player I am trying to install is not the latest version. Please visit the download center to get the latest version." I do that, go to install 10.3.183.10, download, run, etc. Then I get a message saying "Newer version already installed". If I look under my installed program, that IS the version that is installed. I uninstalled it, and then re-installed it for Firefox. That at least works somewhat, but I've had a lot of problems with FF lately with screen freezing, not responding, etc., and I have the same problems since uninstalling & reinstalling (not saying it's a Flash Player related problem, could be something different) which is why I've been using IE.
I read about someone having a problem with IE9 and uninstalling and going back to IE8, so I did that, and here I am still having the same probem in IE8.
HELP!
ETA: Windows 7 Home Premium

UGH! I can't take this. I'm the OP and STIL having the same problems. For a while it was ok. I went back to IE8 (instead of latest version 9), and Flash version 10, and that seemed to solve the problem. Then i started having more and more problems on sites with flash, and then finally I could no longer play my FB game (Cityville) b/c I would get the "you need to update to the latest version of Flash". So..... I updated to Version 11, and now it crashes ALL the time and can't even go on Youtube b/c it says I need the latest version of Flash! I HAVE THE LATEST VERSION OF FLASH!! In other words....back to my original problem from a few months ago. I don't know what else to do at this point. At the moment, everything seems to be working ok in Firefox.......... but why can't I get it to work in IE? FTR, every time I upgraded to IE9, Flash wouldn't work at all which is why I ended up just going back to IE8. Has there been any headway made on the Flash/IE issues or do I now have to go back to using Firefox all the time? (ironic b/c when this all first started I had been using FF for years, and had to go back to IE due to the flash problems with FF).
ETA: I just upgraded to IE9 and now when I go to flash sites, it lets them load but everything flashes all crazily (same as happened months ago). *insert head banging smiley*

Adobe Flash Player not working for Armorgames Dead Zone

I used to play Dead Zone on Armor Games a while ago, when I recently attempted to start again, it will not start. I have followed all the troubleshooting steps provided by both you and Armor Games.

Please Assist.

Flash Player not installing for IE8

I'm trying to install Flash Player into my IE8, but when I go to "Get Adobe Flash Player", it brings up a page saying "Sorry Adobe® Flash® Player is not available from Adobe.com for your device's operating system or browser." I checked the 'supported operating systems and browsers' list, and found my OS (Windows XP) and my browser (Internet Explorer 6.0 and above) in the list. I also have it installed on Firefox, so I'm wondering why it won't install into IE8? Thanks in advance!

Hi, What Service Pack do you have Installed on the XP? FF uses plugins. Flash Player Installs an ActiveX Control into the IE browsers.
Thanks,

Flash player not working for facebook game "resort world"

Windows 7, 64bit
Flash Player ver. WIN 10,1,85,3
I'm having trouble with the specific game on facebook called "resort world", everytime i try to access it, the page just keeps refreshing itself non-stop.
I ran the uninstaller, restarted my computer and installed a fresh copy of the flash player again and I still have the same problem. I've also checked http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ and the flash works fine. Also to mention, other games on facebook do work, I have tried this game on internet explorer 32bit as well as 64bit, google chrome and mozilla firefox and they all do the same thing. I have friends with 32bit windows 7 and 64bit windows 7 and the game works just fine. Anyone can help me find a solution to this problem? Thanks

Flash player not working for games (Win. 7 64-bit)

The Flash Player often doesn't work so that games only show as blank white. I get this on a variaty of websites, typically games and sometimes parts of the Harry Potter official website. However, I have no problems with YouTube. My computer is new and I have never had this problem before on previous computers, but it shouldn't be the computer.

Flash player not working for this site

Hi All,
When I am at the site down in this message, my flash isn't
loading and it is asking for flash download. only in IE in firefox
it's working ok. Do you have any suggestions?
The site is
www.nedfinity.com

There is no problem with SWFObject. It's loads better than
the default
settings - aka Adobe's script. Which is why Adobe uses
SWFObject on their
own page.

Flash Player not working in IE8

I have tried all solutions that I could find. This began with the malware iesafemode/av8. It is removed though McAffee AV did not detect it. Manually removed. Firefox works with AFP, IE8 does not. Have used uninstall tools, uninstalled IE, reinstalled AFP and IE8. Same results. IE8 reports "you must install AFP...." when opening a video in any source thats uses AFP.
The malware iesafemode is quite disruptive. It disabled browsers with bogus registry entries.It prevents usnig search. IE had to be reinstalled as it appeared corrupted.

Check if AV8 has set the "kill-bit" on your system: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3432049#3432049
If yes, you can remove it with the download at the bottom of http://forums.adobe.com/message/3434922#3434922

Flash Player stopped working for Chrome in Windows 8

Randomly, the flash player stopped working for Chrome. I run a Windows 8 system. Everytime I go to a website that uses the flash plugin (youtube, video streaming websites) a bar pops up telling me that the plug in will only work in the desktop. I've never encountered this problem before.
I have:
1. Checked to see if I needed updates. I'm all updated.
2. Reinstalled Chrome to try and fix it, to no avail.
Additionally, when I view the Flash Player settings from my control panel, under Advanced Settings, it says that the plug in version is not installed. However, I'm unable to click on that or click on the settings that say "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)".
What is going on? I really disllike running Chrome from the desktop and would like this to be fixed.

Chrome uses its own "proprietary" build of Flash Player, so you WON'T see any plugin in your control panel for it. You verify that it's enabled by typing "chrome://plugins" in your Chrome address bar. I'd provide a screenshot but I've REMOVED Chroime from EVERY system I have because it uses WAY TOO MUCH processor and it was launching by itself in the background on my Win 8 machine. I won't tolerate that out of ANY software.
