A friend upgraded my flash player and now nothing will work.

I am completely computer stupid. My friend said that my flash player needed to be upgraded. He upgraded it for me and now nothing will work. Youtube, games, etc. Can someone help me fix it. Like I said I am computer stupid so I will need step by step instructions if anyone can help.

in Windows/system32/macromed/flash is a text document called FlashInstall.
This means that Flash Player is not installed - the required files should be in this folder.
Download this installer http://www.adobe.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_ie; save it to disk (e.g. your Desktop), then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.
What do you now have in that folder?
Is Flash Player now enabled, and is it working? (Check it here http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/)

Check System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced
Click: Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Then empty the Safari cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop > Empty Caches
Quit and relaunch Safari then try Flash on a website for sound.

How do you delete programs?
thanks

If Flash Player is indeed the problem I would suggest using the Adobe Uninstaller.
Have you tried using a different browser such as Chrome, Firefox or Safari to see if they have a problem with Flash?

While trying to fix a blocked plug-in problem, I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player and now cannot reinstall. Help!! Please.

I am trying to fix a blocked plug-in. I unstalled Adobe Flash Player and now cannot re install. Any help would be appreciated.

More info. Why can't you reinstall? Something is preventing reinstalling? If so what? What occurs when you try?
Or you don't know how to reinstall?

Accidentally changed scrub rate and now nothing will play

I was listening to an audio book, and I went to change the time I was at in the bar and moved my finger the wrong way and changed the scrub rate and now nothing will play, no matter how fine or normal the scrub rate is. Seriously, how do i change it back so I can hear sound again!?

And then I paused it to finish something and then when I went back to play, the sound wouldn't work again. What am I supposed to do? What's with this scrub rate nonesense? Help me please!!

Flash Player And adobe reader not working and downloads don't work

I have IE 8 and windows vista and everything has worked great for 2 years until 2 or 3 weeks ago. At that time my flash player stopped working so I could no longer get videos , streaming stock quotes, weather map loops, etc and when I go to websites that use Flash (i.e. Piaaz Hut) it wouldn't work. Also, at that same time my adobe reader stopped working properly and I can't view mosy PDF Files.
I have gone through many of the posts on this forum and have tried many of the fixes, but none have work for me.
I tried to uninstall the Flash Player, but I didn't use the Adobe uninstaller.
Whenever I try to update or load the Flash player, a dialog box with the globe tossing papers to the folder appears and then after a few seconds I get the the message that IE can't install_flash_player_ax.exe from fp download.adobe.com, and then a message that says IE was not able to open this internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.
In control panel programs I have listed
Adobe AIR      no size
Adobe Flash Player 10 active X           no size
Adobe Reader 9.3     141mb
Macromedia Shockwave player      no size
In Tools i have the following add ons and they are all enabled
Shockwave Flash object 10.0.42.34
Adobe PDF Link Helper
Adobe PDF Reader
Macromedia Shockwave Active X Control 10.1
As I said I've already attempted a number of the fixes on this forum, but so far no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I might try?
Thanks

Ok, I tried to download the firefox browser but IE wouldn't let me download it. My friend downloaded it from their computer to a flash drive and I loaded it to my computer from the flash drive. The download of Firefox from the flash drive worked, and now I'm using Firefox & both my adobe flash player and my adobe reader are working just great.
However, neither the flash player nor the reader are working if I use IE, so I guess I will just have to use Firefox as my browser.
I'm going to mark my question as answered since I really don't care that I have to use Firefox instead of IE,although I can't understand why it works using Firefox but not using IE.
Thank you so much for your assistance in walking me step-by-step through this problem until I was able to reach a satisfactory solution.

Updating flash player and still doesn't work.

Recently, my games on Facebook and Youtube stopped working and prompted me to upgrade my flash player.
It included the link to Adobe, as do all the sites that require it.
So, I did. It says install successful, but it doesn't work. When I check to see if any version is installed, I see the red x. Please help.
I'm using Windows XP Version 2002 Service Pack 3
I.E. 8 32 bit.
P.S. I can use Firefox and Chrome, but I don't like the quality of how Flash Player runs on them.

Hi, I see from the other thread you commented on that the Kill-bit was your problem. Glad that worked for you:-)

If you would, please mark this thread as answered even tho your solution wasn't from here.
Thanks,

Adobe flash player and youtube are not working

adobe flash player and youtube are not working

It seems that going to Preferences>Security> Check allow plug ins, then manage sites, and then allowing one site allows all??? Seems like a lot to go through. I have installed the player 4 times now and just got it figured out!

Ive upgraded to X Lion and now photobooth wont work....how do I solve this?

I did the last update like a month ago and now its not working...:0(

Hi ...
Try "resetting" ...
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
You won't lose any data as a result of a "reset" ...

II installed iTunes 10 and now nothing will play

I have just installed iTunes update 10.2.2.12 for Windows 7, 64 bit. Now nothing will play. I uninstalled it, downloaded again and still nothing will play!

I have the same problem. Nothing works. The only thing that worked was a complete system recovery of Windows.

Installed latest flash player and now have lost audio

I finally updated to the lates flash player - version 10.2.153.1 and now when I play a file from the Investors website I get video but no audio.
I tried several of the files at the website and no joy.
I was able to go to the ESPN site and play a video stream there and the audio was ok.
My Zune music mp3 files play ok
I don't know where to go to begin troubleshooting this problem.
This was working prior to the upgrade. I am on XP with sp3 using IE 8
Any help would be appreciated

I updated Flash Player, and now it says the plug-in is blocked...

I am on an iMac (OS X, version 10.6.8), running Safari (5.1.10).
Flash was running fine.
I got a notice on Facebook that I needed to update my Flash Player.
Silly me, DID!
And now, it says the 'plug-in is blocked' and I need to update.
So I updated again. Still blocked.
I did a re-start after the update, thinking that might help. Nope.
Well, this is one way to get me off of Facebook, thanks a bunch! :-)

My work allows me to help here while designing websites for clients, so I "give back" to the comapny that enables my livelihood.
The link goes to MY own website, where I have the PDF for download.
I did that with my Snow Leopard machine over last weekend. It's easier than posting all the pictures for every step, here. There are two links in the PDF:
1. is the latest Flash Player for Mac right here at Adobe™.
2. is the End User License Agreement right here at Adobe™.
