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!

  • "Install Adobe Flash Player" is damaged and can't be opened

    The subject line of this discussion is what is displayed when I go to try to install Adobe Flash. I have a Mac OS X 10.9.3. I had Flash downloaded for a while, but the last update wouldn't update. It would download, but then when I went to open it it would say "Retrieving Install" and the meter would remain at 0%. It never went a step beyond that. After trying many times, per the instructions of the website, I deleted Flash from my computer using the Adobe uninstaller downloaded from this site. Now that I am trying to reinstall Flash I keep getting the message "'Install Adobe Flash Player' is damaged and can't be opened. You should eject the disk image". What should I do from here? I would appreciate any help!

    You should make sure you do a complete uninstall of the flash player first and then install the latest FP14 version from this link - Use http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dm g

  • Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player Plugin

    Windows 7 64bit / IE8
    I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player Plugin thinking they would be reinstalled together when I installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
    Now I only see the entry for Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX 10.2.159.1 listed in - Uninstall or change a program.
    I was wondering how to get the Adobe Flash Player Plugin?
    Thanks.

    These are the files listed in the folder.
    Flash10p.ocx
    FlashInstall.log
    FlashUtil10p_ActiveX.dll
    FlashUtil10p_AciveX.exe
    I originally uninstalled Flash Player 10 ActiveX and the Flash Player Plugin
    thinking they would both be reinstalled with the newer version. When I installed
    the newer version of Flash Player 10 ActiveX I noticed the Plugin was missing
    and wondered what happened to it. I didn't know it needed to be downloaded
    seperatly and I also didn't know what it was for exactly. As it is right now
    everything works and since I'm not using any other browser - downloading
    the Plugin isn't required. At least now I have an idea what the Plugin it was
    intended for and know it's not needed.
    Thank You.

  • I recently installed Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin, and now can't play any videos from any website in Mozilla, but Google Chrome works.

    Cannot play any video from any website in Mozilla after installing Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin. However, I can play videos from Google Chrome and also from Internet Explorer. For example, when I'm trying to play a you tube video in Mozilla, a black screen comes up with following error message: "An error has occurred. Please try again later."
    (This is like the Wizard of Oz -- when the man comes to the little window in the door and says to Dorothy, "Come back tomorrow." )

    This may be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

  • Adobe Flash Player causing IE and Chrome to crash when on ESPN

    I have a 64 bit Windows 7 Sony Vaio that I just purchased.  Everything seems to be working ok, except when I go to ESPN.  When I have Flash Player enabled, Internet Explorer and Chrome both stop working and crash unless I leave the page.  When I have uninstalled Flash player or disabled it, I do not have the problem (but I can't view Flash movies on any website).  Adobe Flash Player works fine on other websites on all browsers, its just this particular website on all browsers.  I think the problem is with Flash or involves a virus/malware.  I have MacAfee and nothing is coming up.  I read about a Host file issues in other threads but don't know enough about fixing that myself (if that is indeed the problem).  Does anyone have any suggestions?  If if it involves a virus, can someone suggest a program to fix the problem?

    Another suggestion is to downgrade Flash Player to 10.3 and see if it still crash or not. I noted how to uninstall current version and install older version in the other thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/922257?tstart=30
    Let us know if older version work fine or stil crash. There is different code path between 10.3 and 11 so there might be chance that older one won't crash. I hope you can enjoy ESPN soon.

  • 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...

    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?

  • 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.

  • Adobe flash player 10 .01 and Adobe flash player 10.32 for Firefox

    I was told to download the latest version of Adobe flash I believe, that was 10.32, because now I have delete it.  Both players, because I couldn't get it to install.  I have shut down the manager on Firefox version on 3.5 I really would like to know before I download anything else, which ones to my supposed to have been exposed to have both of them running on Windows XP home edition service pack three and Internet Explorer seven, because I didn't think I needed to upgrade that to eight, it probably just be more headaches.  I don't know, I just mean is that anybody have any ideas let me know.
