Adobe Flash, keep getting "failed to initialize"

I have done all the recommended things on the blog. I have tried to remove any Adobe Flash that was in the machine(I wonder!). The processes are very complexed so I do wonder. My system is XP 3. I choose to run FireFox. I went through My Juno to no avail also, that uses Explorer. I don't find Adobe Flash in plug-ins but Shockwave Flash is there. I do have three out of date plug-ins, Adobe 8, Java Deployment Toolkit, and Java(TM) Platform. Most sights presume that all will be well after above has been done, but Oh No! Help would be appreciated.

You may have to delete the pluginreg.dat file in the profile folder.
To do this follow the instructions below.
# Go to Firefox button > Help > Troubleshooting Info > Open Profile folder
# A File manager window should show, delete pluginreg.dat '''when firefox is closed'''
# Start up Firefox again and try to play flash content, does it work now?
If not troubleshoot flash => http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash

I keep getting 'failed to initialize'

i keep getting 'failed to initialize' regardless of what approach i take wich of the many download sites i try, which of the forum suggestions i follow, or whether or not my anti virus software is off or on. i have tried for 2 days now just to download Adobe reader so i can watch video content on the webpages i wish to view. please help. thank you

Adobe Reader is not used to watch video, perhaps Flash Player is what you want. Second we cannot help you if we do not know what OS you are using. Please download Flash Player

If you have any problems with Flash Player, please post in the Flash Player forum.

Restart the computer from Apple menu.
When restart dialog box appears, uncheck the box beside
"Reopen windows when logging back in".

Flash trial verion fails to initialize

so, I downloaaded and installed flash on my laptop PC running
Vista. I havent had any problems in the past, but now when i try to
set up the trial version, it gives me this message: "the adobe
flash trial has fail to initialize, try restarting your computer or
re-installing your software..." ect. I don't know what could be
causing this.
If it matters, at one point i did have a full registered
version on this very computer for the entire creative suite.
however, my PC crashed and I therefore had to reformat the
computer. could this have anything to do with it?
please help if you can. Thanks.

I wonder, do you have Adobe AIR installed? I installed AIR
before knowing there was an issue where you had to update Flash Pro
before installing AIR and now I can't install the update and
haven't been able to find any info or get any help to figure out
how to resolve the issue.

Can't get Photoshop Elements 11 to install. Adobe Installer message: Installer failed to initialize.

Can't get Photoshop Elements 11 to install.
... Adobe Installer message: Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem.
... Adobe Support Advisor message "Inspection could not identify any issues. Please contact Adobe Support for further assistance. http://www.adobe.com/support."
... .... So far I have downloaded twice, to two different folders (Desktop and my default download folder). Neither option has worked. Please help! I'd like to download Premiere Elements 11, but with this kind of installation problem on PSE11, it seems a second program may be as much of a problem to try to install.

As Mylenium has stated all we have is a very general error message at this point so it is impossible to advise you until we have additional details. Please review your installation logs by following the steps listed in Troubleshoot install using logs | Elements - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-install-using-logs-elements.html.

Adobe Flash keeps popping up on YouTube videos, can't get rid of it.

Cannot play YouTube videos, adobe flash keeps popping up, want to get rid of it, any advice?

The app is usually the best way to access YouTube.
You can try some of the 'standard' troubleshooting for Safari :
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

It sounds like you downloaded the wrong application, namely Adobe Premiere Elements.
If you meant Adobe Photoshop Elements, you're in the wrong forum. This is not the Elements forum.
Here's the link to the forum you want:
https://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements/content
If you mean Photoshop proper, since you are posting in the Photoshop forum, give version details and your system specs.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

I own the businesses, so there are no restrictions. Even my personal page has the same problem. I've been working on FB for years with no access problems. Ironically, the problem started the day the FB IPO went public. At first, the "freeze" happened when I tried to view a photo. Now it happens virtually every time I try to do anything: view a friend's page, try to use "chat."
I'm at a loss. I would view it as a blessing, except that too many of my "friends" and family only use FB to communicate. I'm afraid that's how the world is today, and we can't turn back the clock.

The adobe flash plugin has failed and none of the solutions have helped

the adobe flash plugin has failed and none of the solutions listed in the help section works! I've tried all the solutions listed but none seems to work.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== it started a week ago

Why is Flash now so unstable in Firefox? The Flash has crashed indicator is now a familiar visitor (it generally goes when I refresh the page so it's not hugely fatal!) But . . . I am having to go back to IE to check the reliability with my own sites - which are heavily dependent on flash for animation and video. What can be done? My Firefox and Flash installations are kept up to date. Really disappointing.

Flash Player 13 "Plugin Failure" Workaround

HELP: Adobe Flash keeps crashing

Could somone please help me. I cannot play most of my games on Facebook because the "most wonderful" Adobe Flash keeps crashing on me. I spend more time sending crash reports than I do playing the darn games. Please keep in mind that I am not computer literate at all. I have checked and my Flash is up-to-date. I am using Windows 7...Thank you for anyone who can help....Desiree' (battgurl)Using Flash Player

First, I would make absolutely sure that you're up-to-date using Mozilla's [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugin Check]. If that doesn't help, you should try asking for support at Adobe, because unfortunately this is probably an issue with Flash and not Firefox.
