Activating Adobe flash player in chrome

The only flash player showing up in chrome's plugins is chrome's own pepperflash
It has been working for a long time but just dissapeared, downloading again or updating (Adobe flash player) didn't solve anything.

Hi Stef_Schraven,
Google has been planning to deprecate the NPAPI plug-in for a long time. According to this post Chromium Blog: The Final Countdown for NPAPI NPAPI plugins will be disabled by default in April 2015.  This post does contain instructions on overriding the default disabling of the plug-in.  If you have the latest version of Chrome (42) it's most likely why you're not seeing it there. More info here NPAPI deprecation: developer guide - The Chromium Projects and if you do an internet search for 'chrome npapi' you'll get lots more info on this.

  • Have adobe flash player on chrome but isn't working on firefox, cannot install it I get a message that I haven't got the permissions to do so.

    I have flash player in google chrome but not in firefox. When I try to simply allow flash player in firefox it is not listed. I have the only account on my computer so I am the administrator yet it states I do not have sufficient permissions to install flashplayer although it is already on my computer. I will attach a .bmp screen shot of the error message, but this is what it says if you don't want to open a pic from someone you do not know. :)
    "a required file (C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe:5) could not be written due to insufficient permissions.
    Please visit the following link for troubleshooting tips:
    Troubleshoot Flash Player installation for Windows
    I have tried with my antivirus (Avast free version) running and also with it disabled.

    hello, please try the windows exe-installer for plugin based browser from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html and see if this works to install the adobe flash player. otherwise you'd have to contact adobe's support since that doesn't appear to be a problem directly related to a mozilla product...

  • Adobe Flash Player, Google Chrome and Deskjet F4440

    Every time that I attempt to open my HP Deskjet F4440, a dialog box opens stating that I cannot open the program unless I download Adobe Flash Player in Internet Explorer. First of all, I don't use Internet Explorer and, secondly, when I was last prompted to do the same action for another program  on my computer, I followed the prompt. However, when I did do as instructed, I began to have problems with my default browser, Google Chrome (OS: Windows 7). Chrome crashed repeatedly, and after many tries to troubleshoot it, I decided the course of action was to uninstall and re-install Chrome. It has been working without crashing for a week. Now I am once again receiving the same message to download Flash Player even though I had already done so previously. I cannot use my All-in-One Printer for a scanning project and I'm extremely frustrated. Upgrading the unit did nothing to resolve this issue. PLEASE HELP!!!

    Hi @rnkh,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that every time that you attempt to open your HP Deskjet F4440, a dialog box opens stating that I cannot open the program unless I download Adobe Flash Player in Internet Explorer, and that you cannot scan. I am happy to help!
    It is possible there could be a software conflict with Adobe. In order to know for sure I would suggest the following:
    Uninstall the printer software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Re-install using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    If that does not resolve the issue, then I would recommend contacting Adobe Support.  
    Hope this information helps!

    Chrome (which I limit my use of to testing - because it uses so much processor and RAM) has its own Flash Player Plugin built in. Updating Chrome should update the plugin.
    You can download the offline installer:

    but you may need to do a "clean install" http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315  to get it to work.

  • Problematic Adobe Flash Player in Chrome

    My Adobe Flash player keeps crashing in my Google Chrome browser, which is really annoying. When I try to fix this, it says that Chrome has the latest version automatically installed already. My Windows Messenger also requires a later version of Flash Player. How do I fix this?
    Thank you.

  • Chrome windows 7 do i need both adobe plugin 10 and adobe flash player 11 active x

    using chrome, windows 7 do i need adobe air, adobe plugin 10 and adobe flash player 11 active x? or is that why i am constantly getting a shockwave crashed message?

    If you have any AIR apps, you will need the AIR runtime; latest version is 14.0.0.110.
    "adobe plugin 10" means nothing; what program is it referring to?
    Flash Player 11 is outdated; the current version is 14.0.0.145.

  • Adobe Flash Player not working with IE 11 Active X

    After successful installation of Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X, there is no shortcut to it but the program is found in the Control Panel (under uninstall).
    Tried re-installation and all help on internet forum and Youtube, the videos at yahoo.com.sg still prompts to download latest flash player. Why?

    This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so 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.

  • I need to uninstall Adobe Flash 11.3. My programs show Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X AND Adobe Flash Play Plugin. Do I uninstall both or just 1 (which one?)?

    In Firefox Add-ons it shows that I have Shockwave Flash 11.3 as a plugin. It shows that I can disable it but not uninstall it.
    I want to downgrade to Flash Player 10 so Firefox, and websites quit crashing.

    Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X is needed for Internet Explorer and its clones.
    The Plugin version is used by Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and other browsers that don't use ActiveX, but need the Plugin version.

  • Google Chrome installing without my consent when I update Adobe Flash Player

    To whom do I complain about Google Chrome installing without my consent when I updated Adobe Flash Player? I updated to Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X this morning. I saw no indication that Google Chrome was going to install and given that I have used GC in the past and absolutely hated it I would not have completed the Flash update. If there is an opt-out for Chrome when updating Flash it needs to be more obvious.
    I was annoyed but simply uninstalled Chrome and thought that would take care of it. Not so fast! Suddenly links in Outlook emails stopped working. All tolled I spent 2 hours figuring out what the problem was, finding the solution and editing the registry to get rid of Chrome. I have moved beyond annoyed to livid. I am self-employed and did not have 2 hours of my week to devote to this.
    I will never use Google Chrome. I tried it, didn't like it and I'm now I'm thoroughly done. Is there a way to permanently opt out of getting Google Chrome?
    So again, to whom do I complain?

    No one--if they gave a **** int he first place their software gurus woulnd't have created a download that essentially hijacks your computer and installs the google toolbar and google chrome--all without asking for consent. Too much of this crap goes on. Look at your task manager--all sorts of updates and crap running behind the scenes (google update runs constantly on my other computer till I deleted the updater.exe)-too much of it from hidden downloads like this site propgates. And to top it off, I can't edit Adopbe .pdf forms on line and save them anymore. So I found this link: http://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-viewer  where you can fill all those fillable fields in your .pdf doc, and save the damned thing. Works just like Adobe used to when you could fill in fields from forms on-line and save it.

  • Adobe Flash Player is out of date (GOOGLE CHROME) it isn't...

    Hello!
    I am not very computer savvy so bare with me, but if anyone can help me I would be very grateful.
    I am using Google Chrome web browser (I have IE and FF but for some reason they are sooo slow). Everytime I visit a page that uses Flash (every page in the world almost) I get this ERROR message...
    (jigsaw puzzle logo) Adobe Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date.                                 Two boxes... 'Run this time' + Update plug-in
    I clicked update and it took me to the Adobe Flash page. It says it requires a MAC OS 10.6 or higher
    My MAC is an OS 10.5.8
    SO... I found the version for this OS and downloaded/installed.
    Restarted my computer, launched Chrome and what d'ya know, I got the same message!!!
    I don't know what I need to do now. I tried lower versions, still not working and I can't upgrade to Lion as this is a 10.5 (great!)
    My processor is a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Mem 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM 
    Just incase that helps.
    If anyone knows how to fix this or what I need to buy to make it work I would very much appreciate the advice!
    Thank you
    OH I also just found on the Chrome:Plugins page that beside the FLASH note it says:
    Flash - Version: 10.3.183.29 Download Critical Security Update
    Shockwave Flash 10.3 r183
    When I click on download critical... it downloads and still doesn't work.

    Does this forum post help?

  • How can I install Adobe flash player on my Mac using Safari OR Chrome? I have gone through every step on all of the help pages. The installation process always stops with the black box that briefly says, "Retrieving Install . . . ", then nothing.

    I have followed every step in the various help pages I was directed to when troubleshooting the inability to install Adobe Flash Player on my Mac using either Safari or Chrome. Everything has failed. I always get the black box that says briefly, "Retrieving instal. . . " and then goes blank. When I close that window, I get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." Then it gives some links to follow for troubleshooting. I have followed ALL of the links there and on other help pages, to no avail. I've run into problems installing Adobe before, but it's never been this bad. Would someone please develop another format besides Adobe? Trying to get help from Adobe feels a little like trying to find a building in New York City with no map or GPS. The time required is voluminous, the emotional energy a/k/a frustration is overwhelming, and long before I get anything resolved, I wish the earth would open up and swallow all things Adobe@. Absence that miraculous intervention, I have to figure out what to do next. Does anyone know? Anyone?

  • How to Install Adobe Flash player without Google Chrome?

    I am using IE9 with Bing as my search engine on  a 64bit Windows Vista System.  When I tried to watch a video while online I received the error msg  that I needed to download Adobe Flash Player. When I tried to download the Flash Player I saw that Google Chrome was also being downloaded.  I have tried Chrome twice in the past, and really do not like it. How do I download Just Adobe Flash Player?

    Uncheck Google Chrome from the download page, or download the full installer.
