Help to open and run Flash Player

I use a 1 yr new Dell PC, Windows 7, Internet Exp 11. Over the past year I have downloaded successfully 4x the Adobe Flash Player. It downloads and saves fine in my program files. It does not show up when I click on START, and show on that list. I can only find it if I do a search. When I go to the Adobe site, it shows that I have installed Version newest and current version for Windows. But I cannot get it to open or do anything. I cannot tell you how frustrating this is. I also checked with my McAfee and they insist that nothing they have on my computer is a problem and that I have to talk to Adobe (yeah right, just try and find a number!!!). Can someone please help???????????

1. It WON'T show up in your Start menu because it's a "plugin" for another program and not a program itself. You can find it in C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash
2. In your Control Panel under System and Security, you'll find the Global Settings Manager - Flash Player (32bit). THAT won;t be there if it isn't installed.
IE 11 has had numerous problems with numerous sites, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. There's something not right in the code. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
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.

Frustrating attempts to open and download Flash Player.

Hi y'all. I have Windows Vista 64-bit OS and attempting to download Flash Player through Firefox. However, each time I make this attempt,
the "SAVE" box appears followed by the "DOWNLOAD" box that disappears after one second so that I cannot then Open or RUN the Player as requested.
This has happened repeatedly and attempts to do so have appeared on the download history (many of which I'v since erased). The trouble is, I don't know why. I have ceased operation of antivirus programs for this effort as well. What am I doing wrong?

I don't understand what is happening. Can you try to download the installer from the links in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580

Please help me download and install Flash Player!

One day, I had no problems viewing Flash on my computer. Then
one day last week, it told me I needed to download Flash Player 8
to view The Vine on E!Online. I haven't been able to download Flash
Player 8 or 9. Or anything from this site, for that matter.
I went here (
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoi d=BIOW),
clicked download. Clicked the yellow strip that appeared to install
the Active X control or whatever it's called. A pop-up asked if I
wanted to install or do not install. I clicked install, then
nothing happens. No download box shows up or anything.
I've un-installed my flash player (if i even had one) and
have tried so many times to download a new flash player.
PLEASE HELP!

ive uploaded the exe file to my server, so
go
here and save it to your comp, unzip the file, and run the
program.

How do I get my computer to recognize and run Flash Player?

I have successfully downloaded Flash Player several times, but I am still unable to play video clips from websites like CNN. I get the message that I have to download Flash Player. Flash Player shows up in the list of installed programs on the computer's control panel.

I assume you are on Windows 7.
Ensure that you disabled ActiveX Filtering: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_

I did try to uninstall and reinstall. It messed up my computer. I had to "RESTORE" from the prior days backup. This was not helpful at all. I'm used to losing all my stuff when I connect to iTunes, that's a whole other issue, but now I'm completely banned from any updates to my phone at all. Geeze.......

I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser? It is already installed, I just don't use it. I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it? If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

Installed Skype and now Flash Player won't open in new window

I installed the latest version of Skype and now Flash Player does not work properly.
I just bought a new laptop, it has Windows 7, 32 bit, IE 9, and Flash 10.
A website that I go to all the time uses Flash Player so when you click on a link in the site it pops out the player into a new window and you can listen while you still browse on their site. After I installed Skype last night, that 'pop-out' function is no longer there. The player now replaces the webpage and it is very large and distorted because it is supposed to be in a small pop-out window. No matter what I click, I can't get the link to open in a new window, it always opens in the same window replacing the webpage.
I uninstalled Skype and then used the manual uninstaller of Flash because the uninstall would not work from the uninstall screen in Windows. I then reinstalled the latest version of Flash Player and I still have the same problem.
Is this a setting that I can change somewhere??
Thank you.

Hi eidnolb, thanks for the reply.
I did uninstall the google toolbar that was installed with skype.
I now found that it is not just flash player that won't open in a new window, I can't get any link at all to open in a new tab or a new window.
I tried restoring IE's settings and that did not work.
I know this is an adobe forum and my problem is now much larger than just adobe, but if you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

After Installing Logic Pro X, my Logic Pro 9's 32-bit AUs don't work. The 32-bit bridge doesn't open and run either in my Logic pro 9. My 32-bit AU plugins are crossed out. Help?

As an overworked professional, I simply have to consider the very viable options out there. Never thought I'd be seriously considering a Cubase product.
It's a Steinberg product, not a Cubase product.. in case you haven't been paying attention Steinberg developed the virtual instrument for use in it's programs way back in Cubase 3.55.. the plethora of virtual instruments and the advent of low-latency drivers can be directly traced to Steinberg/Cubase development.. Logic also borrowed Cubase's arrange page format back in the 1980's. Cubase has borrowed from Logic to be sure but Steinberg has long been an innovator for many of the things we take for granted today. It was Logic/Emagic who licensed the VST technology and ASIO low latency format to use in Logic 4.xx. It was Apple who adapted VST to it's own AU format. Also, Cubase and Nuendo have undergone a lot more innovation over the past three years, Yamaha has been good as a parent company. Cubase is not Nuendo's little brother by the way, they are very close, same exact audio engine, same robustness, they can exchange files, the only difference being Cubase doesn't have some of the high end post features that Nuendo has. I use both Cubase and Logic and occasionally Nuendo at the University here.. I know both programs fairly well, believe me, both Cubase 6 and 7 can hold their own with any DAW out there, they just don't come with a bunch of ready made loops and preset instruments.
LogicX will never be able to use 32-bit instruments without a third party solution, nor will it ever include the Bridge. At least according to the people I know.
