Help after installing Flash Player

I just installed Flash Player 10,1,102,64 and the adobe website recognizes this. It is also listed under programs when I go to unintall programs in my control panel. However, I can't find the program to use it. It doesn't show up under programs on my computer or when I search for it. Also, I can't open videos that use it. My operating system is Windows 7 and I'm using Internet Explore 32-bit. Please help!

Hi, Flash Player is a browser plugin and works thru your browser. It won't be listed in your Program files, but in the Control Panel as you have indicated.
Go to Tools, Manage addons and look under "Show"(very light text) in All addons. Shockwave Flash Object must be Installed, Enabled and version 10.1.102.64. This is the ActiveX Control for Flash Player.
Let me know on that.
Thanks,

After installing Flash Player, I lost sound on Youtube and other sites. How do I fix it?

After installing Flash Player, I lost sound on Youtube and other sites. How do I fix it? I still have sound on some apps.

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating   system
Browser
Flash   Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows
Mac
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
HTML5   video
Non-HTML5 video
Thanks,
Chris

Please Help Me Install Flash player

Yesterday I unintentionally uninstalled Flash player with a product named Perfect Uninstaller. During the process it states that the Item I uninstalled will be uninstalled now and forever. Every time I click "run" to install it starts for about one second and then stops completely. I'm beginning to think that they meant it and that there is some sort of blocking going on but that is just an assumption. I hope some can help. I am a novice obviously. I am using Windows XP.

Background audio after installing Flash Player 11

After installing Flash Player 11, I am getting unwanted background audio when I am connected to the Internet. Even though I may not be on any site at all, i still get info-mercials playing on my system, or sometimes the flash player fails. I am using Windows IE9 on a 64-bit system. Everything is enabled in my settings. Why are they releasing this product early when there is a known bug in it?

Sounds like you might have malware on your system. I'd recommend running Malwarebytes to make sure everything checks out.

I need some help to install flash player back on to my computer

HI I was wondering if I could please ask a question about Flash player. When I download the flash player from the Adobe website it downloads ok to my Windows Vista home basic computer. So then I went and tried to install Flash player on my computer. After the first time I had no luck in installing Flash player on my computer so I downloaded the uninstalled program to my desktop. I then uninstalled the old version of Flash player off my computer. So again I downloaded Flash player the lasted version from Adobe.com again. After I download Adobe flasher player to my desktop then I tried to install it again on my computer and then a message came up saying that only once instance of the program could run. So then I have restarted my computer several times and I have down the following several times on my computer. I have not been able to install Flash player on my computer as of yet.
I should mention that I am only an intermediate computer user no difficult trouble shooting please.
I would like to now if their is anything I can do for help or any ideas welcome
I use Firefox as my default browser version: 7.0
Windows Vista home Basic computer

Problems after installing Flash Player 11

OS: WIN XP 32 bit
Browser: IE 8 32 bit
After sucessfully uninstalling previous version, and downloading latest version of Flash Player 11, computer freezes up and shuts down when trying to stream video clip, incuding clips that sucessfully played on previous version. Spent numerous hours going through Adobe's FAQs and trying mutiple suggestions with no success. To keep machine running, performed System Restore to pre Flash Player 11 condition. Please help.
Thanks.

I chose to pass on the Hardware acceleration suggestion, and find a more permanent solution.
After another late night of working the issue, problem solved! Flash Player 11 up and running with no problems.
1. System restore to a point prior to downloading Flash 11 for the first time.
2. Virus, Spyware and Malware scans.
3. Clean Registry
4. Windows update and Antivirus update
5. Clean registry
6. Download latest driver for video card
7. Windows update and Antivirus update
8. Clean registry
9. Uninstall Flash Player 10 / Install Flash Player 11
Note: Though I received confirmation of successful download before, the confirmation page this time had a completely different look. It proved to be a good sign.
10.Windows update and Antivirus update
11.Clean registry
Flash Player working with no problems thus far. Good Luck, and hope this info helps some.

Problem with MSIE after installing Flash Player with sysprep

Hello,
do you have any news regarding this problem?
I installed flash ver 11.6 and I have the same problem on more than 50 machines.
please let me know

I've branched this to a new discussion. The issue in the previous thread has already been resolved. Also, we would highly recommend that you deploy the latest version of Flash Player (11.7.700.169 as of today), as previous versions have known vulnerabilities.
First, make sure that you're not running into the ActiveX filtering problem:
Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448?tstart=0
ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer 9 - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968?tstart=0
After that, make sure that your users actually have permission to run the Flash Player binaries.
If that looks good, try installing Flash Player the same way, but on a machine that has stock Group Security Policies (your PDC may be pushing down rules that cause Flash Player not to work).
If you're still stuck after that, we'll help you troubleshoot it further.
Thanks.

Help needed installing Flash Player Update on Mac

I am trying to install a flash player update on Mac - right now the one site I'm trying to use says flash is out of date. Will not accept my adobe password, reset it through the adobe site and still will not work. Tried Chat help and agent said to reset password through the Apple screen. When I try that it asks for apple id and password but there is only a place for the password. Any suggestions.

Hi,
This is the OS (Apple) prompting for the password, not Flash Player, therefore, the password is your Apple password, not Adobe ID password. Please see What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

Help with installing Flash Player 10.1 in IE7

Hello All -
I have been having issues installing Flash Player 10.1 in IE7. I have pretty much tried everything to install this into IE7. I was able to install Flash Player 10.1 in Firefox with no issues at all. I have tried to install it through the Adobe Download Manager - it downloads to 100% and then I receive a Error:Installation failed message under Progress. I also tried to install Flash Player through the manual installer - I run that install file and then receive the error that says "The ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered. In the Troubleshoot Flash Player installation page on Adobe - I have tried every single remedy that they list under this error message but to no avail. Any ideas? I am running Windows XP SP3 and IE7. I also tried IE8 earlier in the day with the same result so just downgraded back to IE7.
Thanks
Pat

I tried all solutions but one posted in adobe support. I am local administrator but IE security settings are set by group policies and buttons in tools security setting are grayed out.
After three days with "The ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" message I tried registering the activeX control manually.
Bingo! that made the trick.
So open a DOS window, type "regsvr32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx" -first check if this directory exists and contains the Flash10d.ocx (no quotes needed) and you should receive a confirmation that it registered correctly.
I must say that I've tried so many ways that I cannot repeat the correct order before this has worked ;-(
Hope it works for you all

After installing Flash player updates, Recently Closed Windows in History menu lost

Hi Friends,
This is just an annoying problem, not really serious, I guess. Whenever I download and install Flash Player updates, History > Recently Closed Tabs, and History > Recently Closed Windows, are wiped out.
This is a problem for me, because when I log on to my computer every morning, I use History > Restore Previous Session, to get back all the tabs I had open the night before. And often also Recently closed Windows, if I had a 2nd and/or 3rd Ff window open last night. After I install Flash Player, the previous session becomes the Adobe update site. I think I can avoid losing the previous session, by making sure I open my previous session before I start the download and installation.
(I don't use fully automatic updates for Flash. I have the system alert me when it's ready, and then the next time I log on to the internet, the download popup window appears. I don't know why it waits until the next time I log on, instead of right after I click ok (and also ok on Spybot S&D and WinPatrol alerts). And I know you can't provide support for that part. But just to let you know all the relevant info :-) .)
So normally, if I've done something to lose my previous session (with all my usual tabs) (usually when I'm in a hurry and don't notice that I've opened Ff without restoring previous session) I can still get that session because it shows up in Recently Closed Windows.
But after I install the Flash update, Recently Closed Windows (and Recently closed Tabs) are both wiped out.
I'm hoping someone can sort this out, and I can just change some setting somewhere, to prevent this. Or maybe like the previous session, and remembering to open it, before I start the dl, it might just be a matter or altering my habits. I can't think of any habit changing that would work though. So that's why I'm asking all you wise Ff users :-) Hopefully it's not a bug?
Thank you very much for any insight, comments or suggestions :-D
All best.

hello, this problem happens since the adobe installer triggers the opening of a browser window once the update is finished, which then overwrites the last session...
you could try if adding ''SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1'' to the adobe mms.cfg configuration file addresses that issue, as described here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/administration-configure-auto-update-notification.html

After installing Flash Player 11.8, other ActiveX controls prompt to reinstall

I'm on Windows7 64-bit using IE9. After installing the new Flash Player 11.8 on 8/5/2013, other ActiveX controls prompt to be reinstalled repeatedly. I tried disabling the Shockwave Flash Object add-on and also tried uninstalling Flash Player, no change.
I then uninstalled IE9 and reverted back to IE8. Everything was fine until the Flash Player 11.8 installed and then same problem in IE8 with getting ActiveX controls reinstalling again.
I reinstalled IE9, but still same issue so it has not reset anything after going up to IE9 again.

Hello Comvel.
RE:
Hello,
i haven't fixed it yet.
I've deployed the last few version of flash player without any problems.
I haven't found any new things in the admin guide.
The plugins don't show up in both browsers. I can't enable them.
On the most importent clients, i've installed flash player manually.
I know it has been a few months since your post but, I was wonderingif you were able to find a solution for this that didn't involve manual installations. I've recently deployed 11.8.800.175 and am running into the same problems. Some work stations are just fine. But others, (both windows 7 and xp, all IE8) are not working. When navigating to a site like youtube, theres a banner that says update is needed. When you go to manage add-ons there is no shock object/add on.

My MySpace Band Player won't load after installing Flash Player 10

Not so long ago, MySpace required members to update to Flash Player 10.
I installed Flash Player 10.0.32.18 on my Mac (OS 10.4.11). Adobe.com tells me it's installed correctly, and working fine.
But ever since then, I haven't been able to play music on my band page or on anyone else's. Flash seems to work everywhere else on the web for me. But not on MySpace. There's just an empty space where my player used to be. No music (only the thunderous sound of subscribers stampeding out of MySpace and over to Facebook).
Someone suggested I go to Adobe's Flash Player Settings Manager and select the box for "Allow third party Flash content to store data on your computer." But no matter which browser I use, I cannot get an X into that box. And even if I could, I don't know that this would make my music player visible and functional on MySpace.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance...

Hello,
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Hello,my wife have a problem with her macbook pro,after installing flash player it freezes. Have tried to do a restart,didn't help at all. I hope I can get some tips on this. Thank you. Fred

This is a new problem for me so I hope I can get some answers. Thanks The problem now are not flash player. this Mac freezes and cannot be started again. Every time she tries to login,the screen starts to shiver,like when a wrong password is being used.????

She may have an incompatible version of Flash plyer. Also, there have been some cases of fake copies floating around.
The best thing is to uninstall it and download a new version directly from Adobe.
