I get "failed to initialize" when I try to download Adobe Flash

I un-  installed my previous version because I was having trouble loading farmville. I used the adobe uninstaller not remove programs. I can't reinstall the latest version in either Firefox or explorer. I have windows XP. I downloaded the Adobe support and it found nothing wrong. Help please.

I don't understand any of this - I don't know what install_flashplayer10_chrd_aih.exe is; I don't know what Geardownload.com is; I don't know what mssd is...
I suggest that you do a clean uninstall (using http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), then download and run the two installers from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

  • When I try to download Adobe Flash Player, it says I need to quit out of Safari even when it's closed. How do I fix this?

    When I try to download Adobe Flash Player, it says I need to quit out of Safari even when it's closed. How do I fix this?

    Apologies for the slightly pedantic answer, but in application terms, "closed" and "quit" are two different things. An application such as Safari can have several windows open, and each of them can be closed using the red button in the corner.
    However, even after all windows are closed, the application is still running until you specifically quit it. You can tell it's still running by the small light under its icon in the Dock. If you hold your cursor down on the icon for a few seconds, you should see a pop up menu with the "Quit" option - click that to quit it. Or, click the icon once (this may launch a new window), then either go to the Safari menu and click Quit, or click cmd-Q, to completely quit the app.

    My MacBook Air will not download Adobe flash.

    Try the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

  • When I try to download Adobe Flash Player it keeps failing to initialize. Help please

    I don,t know what else to say other than I have tried up to 20 times, I have tried to Google the problem and I am desperate. Thanks Tony

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only and a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually. '''''You do not have the Plugin version installed for Firefox.'''''
    #'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    #When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
    #Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
    #*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
    #*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
    #*The installation is quick.
    #Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    #Direct link ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''': http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
    ''NOTE: A new version of Adobe Flash was released today, 08-09-2011 (both Plugin and ActiveX)''

    I would recommend utilizing the Adobe Support Advisor - http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/ to automatically review your installation log and attempt to locate a solution.  The summary you posted is not always complete so a look at the actual log itself would be beneficial.
    If you would like to review the installation log file yourself then Troubleshoot CS5 and CS5.5 installation with install logs - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/844/cpsid_84451.html provides guidence on how this can be accomplished.

    You do. Your system is either Windows or Mac (or maybe a couple of other less popular choices) and a version of one or the other.
    When you set up your machine, you were asked for an administrator user name and password. You need both of these to install software.
