12% download timeout on Adobe Flash Player

If you google '12% download timeout on adobe' you will see that a few people including myself are getting this now.
Any ideas what is causing it and how it can be rectified ?
It's causing me loads of problems because I cant get into any websites that use Flash Player making my PC as useful as a chocolate teapot for accessing the internet.
I've tried uninstalling,installing until I'm blue in the face but it's always 12% and that's you're lot, its not being installed.
Got to be something missing from our PC's  for me and the other people getting this.
I have a Dell Dimension 5000,windows XP and IE8.
Help please.     

The way to fix it for you is the open IE(Internet Explorer)
Then on the top right corner you see Tools,click on that then choose Internet Options
Then Connection tab then click LAN settings
Lastly Uncheck Automatically detect settings
Then click ok
Now GO back to mozzila firefox and download it
I tried it and works for my computer it said use to say timeout at 7% or 47%
Now its 7% then 8% and onn.
ENJOY
If it works you can brag it to others.

    # Question
    I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one of 2 things occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option. The other is if the proper dialog box appears, I agree and the a different box appears and there is foxfire with a red circle with a diagonal line across is appears.

    I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
    That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step.

  • I cannot download the new adobe flash player on my mac OSX 10.5

    I have always been able to watch videos on line.  Now on msnbc it says I have to download the new Adobe Flash player in order to watch the videos.  When I try to download it won't do it. 

    Call Apple and file a formal complaint, it's Apple that is not supplying security or patches to 10.5 users and expects everyone to be computer guru's.
    16.5% of Mac users are on 10.5 and Apple just denies security and stability updates to force you to upgrade your OS or your hardware prematurely.
    There is a massive botnet of over 600,000 Mac's and the prime location is on 10.5 Intel Mac's which they refuse to fix.
    Appe's "solution" is for you to upgrade your operating system to 10.6 or even 10.7 (this will make your machine slow and won't run a lot of your software, another "problem")
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    IMO 10.6  would be best for you, the least trouble, but you bought a Mac for it to "just work" as your not "into" computers, your just a regular user like most Apple's customers.
    So call Apple and complain, then buy the 10.6.3 retail disk and stick it into your machine and upgrade and cross your fingers and update to 10.6.8. 
    Backup your persona data off the machine first to a storage drive and disconnect.
     Most commonly used backup methods explained
    Once your on 10.6.3 use software update to get to 10.6.8, then you can install Flash.

  • I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image".  I don't know what this is and I cannot see anything that requires Flash Player.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image".  I don't know what that is, but I cannot view anything that requires flash player.  What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for your help, but that didn't do any good either.  I have been double clicking from the download files, double clicking on the "install adobe flash player", closing the anti virus, closing Safari, watching the install progress and clicking finish.  It indicates that "flash player" is installed, but every time I try to view something requiring flash player, it tells me I must download it.  It shows up in the "system preference"  and from there I can make some changes, but it still won't let me view anything requiring "flash player".   It does not show up in my apps like Adobe Reader does.  It shows up in the "downloaded files" section of "Finder".  I'm getting really perplexed over my inability to get this right.

  • When I want to play a video, it asks me to download the latest Adobe Flash player, and the iPad won't do that.

    When I want to play a video, it asks me to download the latest Adobe Flash player, and the iPad won't do that.

    The iPad doesn't and never will support the Flash program. You will need to download and install a different browser like the aforementioned Skyfire. Photon and Puffin are also mentioned as browsers that support Flash. Or see if the place you're accessing that video from has an app.

  • Can't download and install Adobe Flash Player

    I have a new Acer Aspire laptop on Windows 8.1, running the latest Firefox as default browser. On trying to open Al Jazeera in Firefox I get a window that says I need to download Adobe Flash Player:
    I click on that and get the Adobe download page:
    I click on install now and get the prompt to save install_flashplayer:
    I click on save file and then go to my downloads folder and it has the installer icon there:
    However when I then double click on it nothing more happens. A window headed Adobe Flash Player Installer with no content appears:
    And nothing more happens.
    Please advise.

  • If I am the sole user of my laptop why do I need an administrator login and pw to download OSXMaverick or Adobe Flash Player?

    I was not going to download Maverick because  I had heard many less than favorable reviews. However, I started running into issues yesterday and now am stuck. I went to upload some images to a FB album and received a message telling me that I would need to download Adobe Flash Player or otherwise i could only upload one image at a time. Then I went to view a friend's video and received the same message. I chatted with a few fellow mac users who suggested I download OSXMaverick. I started to and received a message telling me I needed an administrator login and pw. I used my Mac Id...no go. I am the sole user of this device and always have been. I have no recollection of running into any such issue when downloading OSXMountain Lion. Why gives?

    You are not the filesystem owner outside of your login directory. By assigning administrator privileges, you are now authorized to install software (with a challenge for your login password, not your Apple ID) where you otherwise would not be permitted.

  • Download problem with Adobe Flash Player 11

    I downloaded Adobe Flash Player 11 a long time ago, when it first came out; however, every time I need it, I get a window saying I need to download Adobe Flash Player in order to view it. What in the world is happening that it isn't downloaded and there to use. When I download it, I get a FINISH to click on, so it should be there already.
    PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO TO MAKE IT DOWNLOAD PROPERLY AND BE THERE FOR USE.

    Download the following files by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"
    Flash Player Uninstaller
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Save ALL files to your Downloads folder - DO NOT RUN anything yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE opening anything else, go to your Downloads folder and run the UNINSTALLER to remove all instances of Flash Player.
    Next, run the ActiveX Installer.
    Once Flash Player is installed go to: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#sp and follow the steps to download the FULL ActiveX installer. (it says "11" but it's really "12")
    Once everything is installed, see:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer  and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer  to make 100% sure that Flash Player is enabled and NOT being blocked by ActiveX controls.
