Need help with Adobe Flash Player

Youtube and several other websites can still identify that my flash player is up to date. Although, many websites including CNN, Aplia, and Southparkstudios do not recognize my flash player. I tried trouble shooting, reseting my axtiveX filter, updating my computers graphic card, ad enabling my flash player. I am currently using a windows 8 computer, but my flahs player does not work in the metro IE, desktop IE, chrome, or firefox. I recently installed Norton Antivirus, and I question if there is any possibility that it could of corrupted my flash player...but troubleshootig with Norton Antivirus was not successful either. So, I guess my question is how do I get my Flash Player to work sufficiently to my needs? I would really appreciate some advice on how to get my flash player to work on all websites.
Thank you for your time

Accrding to your post, you're dealing with three separate Flash Plugins.
1. ActiveX - for IE, (embedded by Microsoft - can't be updated or repaired from any file here - functions independently of the other two plugins)
2. Flash Player standard plugin - for Firefox (functions independently of the other two plugins)
3. "PepperFlash" - for Chrome (embedded in the browser by Google - like ActiveX, it can't be updated or repaired from any file here. Like The others, it functions independently of the other two)
Usually when something is causing the exact same problem with all three different plugins (two of which have been modified by second parties)... it's outside of the browsers.
First, I'd recommend creating a new (admin) account and try installing/running the Flash Player under that account. If it works, then it's an issue with your account. If not, it's either in the OS or another app, like your Norton.

Hi eg, If you have Windows 7 the new one, then you have IE8 since it comes with it. We are only working on this one computer, right?
First of all you must be the Administrator in order to Install Flash Player, are you? You need to use that account.
Download this Flash Player Uninstaller to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download this Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Close all browsers, you only want to be looking at your Desktop. Check your system tray(the area by the clock) and disable any applications like messenger, etc. You don't want any applications there that use Flash.
Run the Uninstaller and when it is finished, restart your computer. Wait until it is completely restarted, then restart it again. When it is completely restarted, then Run the Installer. When that is finished, restart Once.
Then go to this site to test :http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

I need help with Adobe Flash Player, PLEASE!

I have been on multiple site trying to play games or watch videos (e.g. YouTube) and keep getting an error message saying I have to install Adobe Flash Player in order to play/view. I have done this multiple times and currently have Flash Player 11 ActiveX and Flash Player 11 Plugin. What more do I need to do because it still won't let me watch the video or play the games!
PLEASE HELP ME!
Additional info: I just wound up downloading Google Chrome (but don't like it) and don't have the same problem. So, it's only happening when I am trying to do all this on Internet Explorer 9.

Need help w/adobe flash player, PLEASE

I need help!! I bought my daughter a V-Reader from V-Tech for Christmas and I am trying to get it set up. I have gone through all the steps of trying to upgrade the software. However, when I try to begin the process it is telling me I need to install Adobe Flashplayer. So I go to Adobe & download & install Adobe Flash player 11 ActiveX. However, when I go back to the set up portion of this V-Reader, it is still telling me I need to install Adobe Flash Player. I am so confused & don't know what to do. I am not very computer savy, so whatever help I can get needs to be pretty easy to understand & would be extremely appreciated. I have Windows Vista, I really don't know what else you need to know. Thanks for any & all help.....

Am I correct to assume that you connect that E-reader to your PC, and you need Flash Player on the PC?
Do you know if your Vista is 32-bit or 64-bit?
You mention ActiveX, so you must be using Internet Explorer. What version do you use, and is it the 32-bit edition or 64-bit edition (Help, About Internet Explorer should tell you that)?
On Internet Explorer 8 or 9, check Tools, Add-ons: do you see Shockwave Flash Object, and is it enabled?
On Internet Explorer 9, check Tools, ActiveX Filtering: is it enabled? (It must be disabled for Flash Player to function.)

Help with Adobe Flash Player Installation

I need help. I have tried several time to download Adobe Flash Player to my computer. But when I get to about the 50% point of the installation I get a message that says "Please close the following programs to continue.....and a small box appears with the words "internet explorer". I make sure that I am not on the internet (close internet explorer by clicking the X in upper right corner), and then hit the RETRY button....but the same message keeps appearing. What do I need to do to at this point so I can complete the installation? Even though I know that the internet is not open...what can I do to make sure that Internet Explorer is not open?

You need to close all iexplore.exe instances; use the Task Manager's Processes tab.

I need Help installing adobe Flash player please!

Hi,
So I have been stuck trying to download adobe flash player for quite a while because when I go onto youtube it says the flash is out of date. Here are all the different things I tried to get the download to work.
1)
First of all the adobe flash has been downloaded into my download folder. So when I click on it, the adobe installer pops up. I type in my password. Then the little screen appears to start downloading. However it abruptly stops; the window says "Installation encountered errors" "Error has been encountered. Close this window and try downloading again"
2)I find out I have to quit the safari application when downloading the adobe flash. So I quit safari and try downloading the Adobe flash. The Installation error pops up again. So I guess that must not be the problem.
My current flash version is 15.0.0
3) I check to make sure that the flash player is enabled by my Safari browser. I did notice that the help page is slightly different from my own computer.
I don't have the "Allow Java" plug in, and I don't know if thats something I need to install?
What else do I need to do to download the flash player
Thanks in advance

What kind of phone?

Help with Adobe Flash Player 12 IE 8.1 64 Bit

I am having a problem with the Adobe Flash Player 12 for IE 8.1 64 bit. I have tried it with You Tube videos and still not working properly. Can anyone assist me?

Flash Player for IE on Windows 8 & 8.1 is mebedded by Microsoft.
You can't:
Download it
Update it
Upgrade it
Repair it
Uninstall it
from here.
It can ONLY be updated via Windows Update.
IE11 is another can of worms.
Microsoft intentionally screwed up the "user-Agent Strings", which websites use to identify the browser and provide the proper content for it. Since the pages can't recognize the browser, 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.

Need help with adobe flash crashing my computer.

i use firefox is this a problem with adobe flash?

You might want to give some specifics. Other then my computer crashes with Adobe....Not to be a S.A but there are a lot of different Adobe programs and computers. You mention FF so Windows would be my guess, or you could be running Linux. Do you see the variables here? What kind of computer? Not a Desktop or Laptop or Dell or HP. Specs like GPU, CPU, Memory. Program running, what you were doing, etc. The more detailed you are the more a user can hop in and try and help you.

I need help with new flash player constantly crashing

Ever since updating the flash player it is constantly crashing. I have updated firefox also which constantly crashes. Firefox is pointing the finger at the flash player..... I need someone who will work with me step by step as i am not a computer tech. The two websites i visit that the flash player crashes on is www.myspace.com while playing mobsters and mafia wars, and www.smallworlds.com which is a 3d interactive " chat room ". I have tried removing the flash player and going with an older version, but it continues to kick me to the updated version...Please help!

Hi, thanks for your Flash file info. You have the SWFlash.ocx that is old. Right click on that one and Remove/Delete it.
Your SWF plug-in is correct as well as the remainder of your Flash files. The SWFlash.ocx that needs removed is conflicting.
The Windows Firewall should be used. Now I see that you have not updated to the Windows XP Service Pack 3, which is the latest. I would recommend that you do that. Many improvements and security issues are included in that. You can go to the Microsoft site for that.
After you do that, Microsoft has the Microsoft Security Essentials which is a free program and has the Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware features. It does not include a Firewall nor are there any browser add ons that would conflict with your browser, other add ons or Flash Player.
I'm not sure of the system requirements for the MSE, but check. You may need the updated Service Pack first. Before you Install the MSE tho, make sure no other anti-virus is still Installed. The one you mentioned needs Uninstalled and you need to check if they have an Uninstaller and do that first.
Whether you do any of what I suggested or not, you need to Remove that SWFlash.ocx. I would reboot(restart) your computer afterwards.
P.S. Firefox has updated to 3.6.8 and you can do that anytime.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Web sites tell me I need to upgrade/install a flash player, but when I do try to install adobe 10.2, it was giving me failed error message. I tried temporarily disabling my Nortons anti virus and firewall. I also unclicked so Adobe would not include Mcafee, which I don't want. I uninstalled all older versions of adobe( except Reader.) I am on Compaq laptop, OS is Windows Vista 32 bit. Can anyone talk me through this endless loop??

Need help with Adobe Flash Professional! Somewhat urgent!

In Adobe Flash Professional, How Can I Split The Frames Of An Animated Symbol That Are Placed On The Seed Timeline Without The Symbol Restarting Its Entire Animation After Each Split? I have looked up many online tutorials and none run into this problem.

My original response stands. If you want to stop a timeline animation you need to implement a stop() command.
If you need the animation to start/restart at a specific point then you use a gotoAndPlay() or play() command depending on where that starting point is relative to where you currently are on the timeline.

Hi,
In Safari, click Help and then click Installed Plug-ins.
Do you see Shockwave Flash displayed there?
If not, click Safari > Preference > Security.
Ensure that you enabled JavaScript and Plug-ins.
Thanks,
