Adobe Flash is not working with Windows 8.1.

I have tried the suggestions in several of the posted discussions, but Flash crashes every time since I updated to Windows 8.1.

My first thought is...
Windows 8.1 may have included some new display drivers that are not fully compatible with Firefox. To address that, we usually recommend disabling hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash:
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
However, it may also help to visit your computer manufacturer's website for updated graphics drivers or, if you installed a third party product after you got your PC, that manufacturer's website.

  • Adobe Flash Player not working with OS X Yosemite

    Since I upgraded to the latest version of Yosemite, flash player will not work with any browsers. The latest version is: 10.10.2 (14C109).
    When I install flash player all browsers crash or if I try to use them with anything that needs flash player, i.e. YouTube, etc. The only way I can use my browsers if I uninstall flash player.
    Yes, I've tried using the latest adobe update, it does not work. Yes, I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, it does not work. I'm at loss right now and puzzled, because I've encountered this issue in the past, but never this severe.
    Can someone help me please ???

  • Adobe bridge raw not working with windows vista in photoshop cc, why?

    adobe bridge raw not working in photoshop cc, is there a fix?

    Your sure your using photoshop cc on windows vista?
    I was under the impression that photoshop cc would not even install on windows vista.
    What version of camera raw do you have?
    In photoshop under Help>About Plugin does it list Camera Raw and if so which version is it?
    (click on the words Camera Raw to see the version)
    Camera raw doesn't work if it's a camera raw file or some other file type such as jpeg or tif?
    What camera are the camera raw files from?
    Officially camera raw 8.3 is the latest version of camera raw that will work on windows vista.

  • 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.

  • Flash CS4 not working with Windows 7 64bit and Kaspersky Internet Security

    I have a new i5 core computer running Windows 7 64bit retail. With Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 installed Flash CS4 becomes so unresponsive that it is completely unusable. Uninstall KIS and it works absolutely fine. I've already read on another forum that someone else is experiencing the same issue with the same combination of products. Is anyone else having this problem amd if so how did you solve it? I've posted on the Kaspersky forum with no solution thus far.
    Does Norton work OK with Windows 7(64) and CS4?

    *** PROBLEM SOLVED ***
    Taxxem you are a star. Ideed turning off 'disable external service control' and disabling 'self defense' under 'settings  -options' does indeed bring Flash back to life. Disabling self-defense had the most impact (and causes Kaspersky to grumble somewhat) but disabling external service control also had an impact, albeit much smaller. I'll post this solution against my Kaspersky forum post and hopefully they will do something about it.

  • Flash player not working with windows vista

    I cannot use the
    flash player or the adobe reader on my computer. I haev high speed cable and windows vista system. I was advised by my isp to uninstall norton software and to try to install the adobe flash player again. I am given the instruction to download and it says its downloading. I go to youtube for example, it will continue to tell me to update to the flash player. Also, i somehow have bing as my toolbar on my computer and am not able to follow the direction of the instructions to trouble shoot online. I still have the norton un installed and cannot use the flash player or the flash reader. Can I get some help?

    Hi, thanks. I would Uninstall and Install again, but use these instructions.
    Download and SAVE the Uninstaller to your Desktop:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Then download the Installer for IE and SAVE to your Desktop:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Use the link that is shown for Windows, Internet Explorer and the Installer EXE
    Close all browsers, disable any messenger services in the system tray(area near the clock). Depending on which Anti-Virus/Firewall program you use, you may need to disable those. Some will block the download of the ActiveX Control for Flash Player in IE.
    Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer, then run the Installer for IE, When finished, Reboot your computer.
             You can test each browser here and you should see the Flash logo animation and the Flash Player version.

  • Adobe Flashplayer installer not working with Windows 8.1 and Firefox

    I am running Windows 8.1 and attempted to download Flashplayer for Firefox.  I have it working in IE, but it will not launch for Firefox.  Any ideas on what might be blocking the Flashplayer installer from running in Windows 8.1?

    Hi sfmedic,
    Have you tried to download another installer to have a check ?
    Here are several links may be helpful to troubleshoot this issue:

  • Adobe Flash (latest) not working with any Internet browser

    iMac with latest OS 10.8.3, installed Flash Player plug-in (latest). No flash videos will play in any browser (Safari, Firefox or Chrome). Based on other posts, I cleared Safari cache (deleted stored data), uninstalled Flash, and then re-installed. Still same problem.
    I don't see any Preferences related to Flash plug-in in Safari or Computer Preferences.
    Suggestions?

    Check Adobe Support/Forums. Maybe someone else has found a fix.

    Itunes will not work with Windows 8. I have the latest version of itunes!

    When I try to Sync my ipod, nothing happens.

    Hi,
    You can download the latest official Firefox here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    You may also have to install [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7u9-downloads-1859586.html Java] (choose either Windows x86 Offline or Windows x86 Online), and [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Flash] (choose the Firefox version and also deselect extras).
    For the Firefox metro version, please see [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Windows_8_Integration#Elm_Nightly_Builds this]. You can install and use it along with the other version.

  • Better privecy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers?

    Question
    better privacy does not work with windows vista home prem. what other program removes LSO'S AND HOW can I stop trackers? edit
    Details

    As a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
    Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
    In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
    C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
    Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
    Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
    If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
    If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
    Any luck?

  • Why does flash player not work with facebook?

    Why does flash player not work with fcebook?  Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player.  When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one.  I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows.  I don't know anything else.

    This means you don't have the latest version installed.  Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
