In Windows 8, under manage add-ons, Flash player is listed under the heading Not Available, but is listed as being Enabled.

I Try to reinstall it but it tells me it is already pre-installed with my windows 8 and to turn off active x filtering or to enable it in manage add ons.  Active x filtering is not on, and it is currently enabled, it is just listed under the Not Available heading and I am guessing that is why it is not working when I go to view something that needs flash player.  Is there a way to uninstall it and reinstall it going around the windows preinstalled??  Or a way to get it out of the Not Available and into the Adobe heading in my add-ons??

What you can do is either Reset IE (Gear > Advanced > Reset), or if that doesn't work, you'll need to go into Add/Remove programs, find the last Windows Update for Internet Explorer or Flash, uninstall it, then re-install it from Windows Update.  This will usually get you back to a good state with IE.

  • In manage add-ons, Adobe Flash Player is listed under Not Available, but is listed as enabled.

    When trying to view something that needs flash player, it tells me that I need to have flash player to do this.  So I go to install it, and it tells me it is already installed with my Windows 8.  So, then it tells me to either Enable flash player or to disable Active x filtering.  Active x filtering is not enabled, so I go to Manage add ons, and it shows that Shockwave Flash Object is listed under the heading NOT AVAILABLE, but is listed as being enabled.  I have tried to reinstall flash player, but it won't let me because it is already installed.  Not sure why it is showing up under Not Available, and not under the Adobe heading with my Adobe PDF reader.  Can anyone tell me how to get flash player back from this point???

  • IE showing Flash Player status disabled, despite the fact that it's enabled in Manage Add Ons.

    I uninstalled Flash Player version 13 on Windows 8 and then re-installed Flash Player version 11.7.700.275. After the successful installation message, I restarted the computer, but when I access the URL 'http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html' it says, Your Flash version: Disabled. Despite the fact that IE is showing it enabled in Manage Add-Ons. Please help.

  • Why doesn't version 17.0.0.169 show up in IE11 8.1 64-bit Manage Add-Ons?

    KB3044132 shows as installed for Flash Player update, and the Control Panel Flash Player icon for 32-bit shows 17.0.0.169 installed (I have 64-bit and 32-bit), but the Manage Add-Ons for Shockwave is Enabled and showing version 17.0.0.134! When I check the version using Adobe it only shows 17.0.0 and not the important part, so I cannot tell if Adobe detects 17.0.0.169 or 17.0.0.134! I think I need to know if IE11 64-bit has 17.0.0.169 also. Please advise because Microsoft technical support says to contact Adobe about this. Please delete my entry in Adobe general forums, Bridge general discussion as michaelh94875078. I did not see Flash Player on the list of communities provided during my first post.

    It occurs to me that maybe Microsoft will not allow their 17.0.0.169 KBitem to go out until their next update on the second Tuesday of May for their convenience and reputation! I want any update for Flash Player to be installed immediately for security. That is why I tend to use Firefox with NoScript and Web of Trust when I use a Google search. I will be watching the next Microsoft update to note if the KBitem it said was not appropriate for my computer - goes in!

    Hi michaelh94875078,
    I'm sorry, I misread your previous post and thought it had been installed. From my experience with Microsoft Updates is that some times they depend on some update being installed.  I'll run Windows Updates and install all updates, then run Windows Updates again after all updates finish installing. Sometimes it finds new updates that weren't there before, and sometimes it doesn't.  You can try that route, or download the Microsoft update posted at the bottom of the Flash Player Issues | Windows 8 page.  Download the one that corresponds with your OS version. You may want to bookmark this tech note for future reference in case Microsoft Updates fails to detect the update is available for your system.

  • Adobe PDF Reader Publisher 'not available' in IE Manage Add-ons

    Some users of a website that displays PDFs in the browser are not able to view the PDFs.  These users are using IE9 and Adobe Reader XI on a Windows 7 machine. They have gone through uninstalling, reinstalling, and repairing Adobe Reader XI and have ensured that the IE settings match the IE settings for other users whose setups work correctly.  The only difference is in the Manage Add-Ons.  On machines that do work, the publisher for the Adobe PDF Reader add-on is listed as 'Adobe Systems, Incorporated'.  On the machines that do not work, the publisher is shown as 'not available'.   My gut feeling is that since the publisher is listed as 'not available', Microsoft doesn't trust the add-on and won't run the ActiveX control to display the PDFs in the browser.
    How can I fix those systems so that the add-on shows as 'Adobe Systems, Incorporated' on the machines that do not work?  Or how can I get them to work regardless of the publisher listed?  Or is this even the issue of why these machines will not display PDFs in the browser?

    They do assure me that they are using the 32-bit version of IE.  I think the add-on doesn't show at all in the 64-bit version.

  • Why does Firefox 4 for mac crash when attempting to manage add-ons?

    Downloaded firefox 4 for mac yesterday. Working fine until I started adding add-ons/extensions. Since then, any attempt to manage add-ons or extensions crashes Firefox and requires a force quit.
    Help?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar to do a compatibility check.

    Hi,\

    It looks like relevant software component is not installed to upgrade to SAPK-701DHINSAPBASIS. Have you checked the notes before proceeding with the SAPK-701DHINSAPBASIS ? Are you at 701 level for all the relevant packages?

  • Get Flash Player to work under Vista

    Using Internet Explorer, I am trying to get Flash Player 10 to work under Vista 32 bit. When I go to youtube.com, their greeting says "Hello, you either have JaveScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."    Looking at the 'Programs and features' on the Control Panel, it shows 'Adobe Flash Player 10 activeX' is installed.  In the Internet options, the security level is Medium-High. I tried to change this to medium but the sytem keeps reverting to Medium-High and in the scripting area, Active Scripting is set to enable. Can someone please tell me what I need do to get Flash player to work on my system.

    Anyone here get an answer yet? Suddenly I'm getting those same messages that I either don't have javascript enabled (I do) or I need to get the latest version of Flash Player. But the latest version isn't for Windows 64. So what am I supposed to do, and what happened to cause this?

    flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    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.

    How do I add adobe flash player to my Ipad

    You can't, it's not supported on any iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Apps such as Skyfire claim to support flash, but their reviews are mixed. Some websites (especially news sites) have their own apps in the App Store, so you could check to see if your favourite(s) have apps.

  • Color Management in Adobe Flash Player

    Is there any way to enable color management in Adobe Flash Player? I want to see color-managed-video on some sites that use Flash Player (like YouTube). I've looking for the solution anywhere, but happened not to found one. Any help would be appreciated.

    It looks like this is driven by the content and might be browser dependent - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/color_correction_as3.html
    However, I'd try disabling hardware acceleration to see if that makes a difference.  I wouldn't be surprised if using the GPU altered the way this works.
    How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?
