Adobe Flash Player 10 installed but not running

I installed Adobe Flash Player 10 from the adobe site, and it said that it installed successfully, but when I try to watch videos on facebook or youtube it says I need to download flash player.  I tried installing it again, but the install window just popped up again and said it was already installed.  I restarted my computer several times, but flash player still won't run. I need help please!!!!

Hi, ok. I'll give you the instructions that you need to follow. Now McAfee must be Disabled otherwise it will block the Install of that Shockwave Flash Object. In addition to Disabling it, you will have to check it at certain steps in the process, since it will re-enable itself and block the Install.
First, some pre-Un/In steps to take. Go to Tools, Internet Options and make sure Security is set to Medium for the Internet Zone. You can do this now. Next, take a look in the system tray and know how to disable any applications that use Flash(messenger services, etc.)
Download the Uninstaller and SAVE it to your Desktop:

Download the Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Disable any apps in system tray that would use Flash
Disable McAfee
Close all browsers, you'll just be looking at the Desktop
RUN the Uninstaller. When it is finished, Reboot(restart) your computer. Allow it to fully Reboot. Then check McAfee for all of the components that you Disabled to make sure it did not re-enable. Then Reboot again(to clear out old files) Then check McAfee again.(If McAfee has re-enabled either time you check, then Disable as you did before)
When fully Rebooted, RUN the Installer for Internet Explorer. Reboot Once.
Now Re-enable your McAfee if needed; since it may have already re-enabled after that Reboot..
You may want to print this out so it will be easier to follow. When you are finished, go to the test site and post back the results.
Then go to the add ons and see if the Shockwave Flash Object is now Installed and Enabled.
Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Adobe Flash Player installed - but not working

    I have Windows 7, 64 bit, with Internet Explorer 11.  On the day before Thanksgiving everything was working fine.  I received a greeting on 11/27 and was unable to open it - I was told I needed to install Adobe Flash Player - assumed it was an update - but since that time I've been unable to open any of the puzzles on Shockwave, or cards from greeting card providers - probably some other things, but I haven't found out about them yet.  Every time I try to open any of these programs, I get a message that I need to install the flash player.  My control panel shows that I have Adobe Flash Player 15 Active X, 6 MB, version 15.0.0.239 installed and the add-on manager under tools says it's enabled - but it escapes me what it's enabled to do other than drive me batty and waste all my time.  I've rebooted the computer, closed all IE windows, numerous times after uninstalling the program and then reinstalling it - all a waste of time.  Is there any advice out there?  Linda Kochefko, El Dorado, KS

    is Active X Filtering something that should show up under Tools, Manage Add-Ons?  If so, I think I had it earlier this week, but it's gone now.  In my efforts to eliminate the Flash Player so I could reinstall a working copy, I may have uninstalled too much.  It's not listed under Programs or under Tools at this time.

  • Flash Player installed but not working properly

    I have Windows 7 64 bit, and run IE11.
    I have Adobe Flash Player installed.
    It works fine on my login (administrator) but my young Son can not watch video's, as it says Flash Player is not installed.
    How do I fix this please?

    Flash Player has updated to 11.87.800.175 today; is it working better?
    If not, what means "not working properly"?

  • I have the latest Adobe flash player installed but it does not show up in my add-ons or plug-ins on Firefox 3.6. In the plug-in check, it recognizes that the shockwave flash is up to date. How can I have the plug-in appear and be enabled on firefox?

    I have uninstalled the flash player and installed it numerous times with no recognition by the Firefox plug-ins. I also have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it as well. I have also restarted my computer several times as well. The flash player is certainly installed but not working on Firefox. Thanks in advance for your help.

    James j,
    You have a different problem. Your screenshot shows "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed".
    See [[Plugin crash reports]] and [[The adobe Flash plugin has crashed]]. If you need more help you should [[ask a question|ask a new question]] (start a new thread).

  • Flash Player installed but not working....

    had a virus 3 days ago which was resolved with assistance from Microsoft.  Now Adobe Flash does not work (when I go to Youtube, it says I do not have the latest version.  I have unistalled, restarted, installed at least 10 times.  Sites still say I need the latest version.  I do see Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X in the programs in my control panel.  I have downloaded version 10.1.102.64.  I am running IE8 (i assume 32-bit since it does not say 64-bit) on Windows Vista.  I have checked the files in my windows/system32/macromed/flash folder and it show the following files:
    Flash Player Trust folder
    Flash10I.ocx
    FlashInstall
    FlashUtil10I_ActiveX.dll
    FlashUtil10I_ActiveX
    install
    I had turned off my Norton AV and firewall. I have also made sure that all security has been set to medium at that java scripting shows as enabled...
    Flash player still does does not work: says I need to install latest version on websites (youtube etc.)
    HELP!!

    Hi, I see you've been on quite a few forums advocating Firefox & Chrome. All this does is give them a browser that perhaps Flash Player would be performing as it should. But it doesn't solve their issue with IE.
    And referring users to follow procedures meant for another user under different circumstances and computer configurations
    is not in their best interest.
    All you are doing is confusing the person, since the required information about their computer has not been obtained.
    You may want to rethink posting referrals, I could do that myself, since I'm on a lot of threads here.

  • Adobe Flash Player installed, but content doesn't work

    Adobe Flash Player works after I install it, but then
    evenually it stops working. I have tried lots of support methods,
    including downloading Microsoft's tool to fix permission errors. I
    am using
    Windows Vista Home Premium and the latest version of
    Adobe Flash Player.
    I noticed somewhere that there was an old thread like this
    with someone having the same problem. I saw that someone who
    replied showed a screenshot of what the permissions for
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT should look like. Interestingly, they
    don't appear to match.
    Here is the screenshot:

    Please help me fix this problem. Without
    Adobe Flash Player, I can't do numerous things, such as
    watch videos on
    YouTube.

    I have solved the problem, thanks to this post:

  • Adobe Flash plugin installed but not showing up

    Since 2-18-2013, my Adobe Flash Player is neither appearing as being installed with FireFox19 ... NOR does it work on any website other than the Adobe "verify" page. I have:
    a. Removed Flash Player and rebooted
    c. Reinstalled Flash Player from download location; rebooted; restarted FireFox.
    d. Removed latest flash player (per "c" above); rebooted.
    e. Downloaded a older version of F/P, rebooted, restarted.
    Bottom line: No Flash Player works.
    When I (somehow) navigated to the "about:plugins" there is NO Flash Player.
    HELP ... I'm a senior and so frustrated now.
    Thanks in advance.

    My problem is exactly the same as the first poster. No doubt if I started a new question there would be someone telling me "that questions already been asked". The point is those solutions and all the solutions suggested on firefox support aren't working for this problem. That this occurred only with the new version of firefox is indicative of a deeper problem specific to this build.

  • Adobe Flash Player/Shockwave is not running on FireFox... does not run in Youtube, or other video sites.

    Hmmm... this morning I was watching youtube videos.. and I noticed a little lag. Really minor... but thought that shouldn't be happening.? So decided to see if I could fix it. Not sure what I did or if I did anything to cause this? I really don't think so. Maybe firefox.exe -p?? Was working fine up until today?
    I've read a bunch of the forums and tried a bunch of stuff but still no go. When I disable protected mode it works fine, but I want protected mode to be enabled so that I'm... well... 'protected!'
    I've uninstalled FireFox and Flash Player and reinstalled numerous times but still same thing.
    I'm running Windows 8.1, with most recent Flash and FireFox. My computer is an i7 4700HQ 2.4 Ghz, 12 GB Ram etc... its a 6 month laptop.
    Anyone know what the issue is? I've never experienced anything like it? I've ran Malaware bytes.. didn't find anything. Ran AVG and found one threat... I think it was the Crack threat (cockos??) does that ring a bell...? came from a torrent. That issue has been healed now tho.. not sure if they are related??
    Also ran a disc cleanup and it took about 5 minutes... doesn't usually take that long but its all clean now. Deleted a bunch of debug dump files... again, not sure if that's related??
    Here are a few of the crash error logs I've gotten recently:

    Some background information about the Adobe Flash Protected Mode for '''''christ1'''.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/security/2012/06/inside-flash-player-protected-mode-for-firefox.html
    Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 that you have is a relatively low end graphics card and low end for on-board graphics chips, whichever you have. ''Unless that is a laptop that switches drivers for "gaming" which puts a lot more load on the hardware and runs the battery out a lot faster.'' Technically the HD 4600 ''should'' be enough for web browsing, but Flash is a lot more than simple web browsing.
    IMO, if disabling the Flash Protected Mode solves that issue - do that. Or upgrade your hardware, especially if you have a separate Graphics Card ''[vs an on-board chip]'' or can install a better card in a desktop computer.
    As far as YouTube videos goes, have you tried using the HTML5 setting for YouTube?
    https://www.youtube.com/html5
    Make that setting and Google will deliver HTML5 video when it is available for each "clip". From what I have seen ''[I'm not a big user of YouTube, though]'', like maybe 75% of the clips I see are available in HTML5 - ''ymmv''.
    BTW, Mozilla is working on eliminating the need for even having to use Flash. They're working a a project which is code-named Shumway to play SWF-format files.
    http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/
    You can download it from that page, but it is at the early stages of development and needs a lot more work before it is truly usable.

  • Flash player install but not working

    Can find Flash player in programs to uninstall off control panel, but no where else, computer will not play any videos and ask to down load flash player every time.

    Flash Player (with the exception of the sandalone "Projector") isn't a program. It's a plugin. While it does should appear in the Add/remove list, it's NOT located in Program Files.
    You'll find it in C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash
    and (on 64 bit systems) C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash
    What browswer do you use?

  • Flash Player installed but not recognized

    I have been prompted to install Flash Player 11 on Amazon.  I attempted to install it from your website.  After following all instructions, it says that Flash Player 11 was successfully installed.  However, when I go back to Amazon (or any other site that plays video) it says that I need Flash Player 11 as if I never installed it!  I tried uninstalling Flash Player using your uninstall function from your website, then attempted to install Flash Player again with the same results:  it says that Flash Player was installed correctly, but nothing seems to recognize it when I try to play video.  Please help!
