Adobe Flash Player Update Required error

I have updated Adobe Flash Player and Reader but cannot launch a video or pdf - getting the Update Required error.  I have validated the versions to ensure they were in fact installed.  I have a Windows 7 Operating System.  Do you have any suggestions for a fix.  I have never had this issue in the past.  My daughter is also having the same issue with her computer.

I don't know what this means; can you post the full error message, or even better a screenshot.  See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1070933
Also what is your Adobe Reader version and Flash Player version?

  • Adobe Flash Player Update Service Error Message

    I am using Windows Vista 7. 
    Every hour I receive  an Adobe Flash Player 11.6r602 Update Service Error Message.
    How do I get rid of it?

    This will most likely be fixed in the next Flash Player update, so check regularly for a new version at http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer/announcements

  • Error "actionlist not found" when installing adobe flash player update

    in trying to update adobe flash player i get error "action list not found"I have win XP 32 bit. Have removed old version from my computer before downloading newer version, still will not load.

    You should by now be using Firefox 11. (You may well have updated since you posted this question).
    Possibly you have tried to download and install the FlashPlayer version intended for Internet Explorer, instead of the plugin for Firefox. (See related thread [/questions/859758#answer-228076] ''When trying to update Adobe Flash Player, message says no ActionList found.'' )
    Others may also note there is or was problem with some Flash Upgrades not being detected , but should start a new thread of your own if you have problems. See article [[Yahoo! and at&t mail say your browser is blocking Flash]]

  • Error:  Flash Player  "Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem ..."

    I get the following message as soon as I boot up my PC:
    "Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
    According to Adobe, this is the first time they've heard of this issue.

    Unchecking auto updates does not stop the message for me.
    Sorry to hear that too.  I actually recommended this to a few friends who were having the same issue, and it worked for them.
    But, I'm wondering....  Have you tried disabling the check for updates settings in both the (Window's Control Panel's) Global settings manager and the (online) Global Notifications Settings panel?  (That's the one on this page -- http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l )  On that page, click on the "Globe with the Check Mark" tab and make sure that the box is blank.
    Hope this helps.

  • The Moon Worm - Infects Home Routers - Shows Fake "Adobe Flash Critical Update Required" Message

    Greetings,
    This morning we had numerous workstations pop up with an Adobe Flash error.  The browser will be taken over by an Adobe Flash Critical Update Required page and won't let the browser go to any other internet site.  Within the page, a box will pop up that says:  "Attention!  your current version of Adobe Flash Player is outdated!  Your computer is vulnerable to malware now.  Update your Adobe Flash player now."
    This message pops up on IE Explorer version 9-11, Google Chrome and Firefox and the operating systems are Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 pro.  It has all the behavior of a virus or malware so I don't want to run it's download file which is named install_flashplayer_12_x32_64_msaa_aax_latest.exe.
    I've been able to download both flash player installs from the Adobe.com site for both IE and Other Browsers.  Sometimes I've been able to run the installs and it shows that the download and install ran okay with Adobe Flash Player 12 ActiveX showing up in the installed programs list.  Other times, the install won't run and the install file mysteriously gets deleted.  Even after the successful download and install, the browser works briefly okay and then gets seized by the "Critical Update Required" page again.
    We're running AVG Anti-Virus Business Edition which is kept updated.  A scan with this program and an updated version of Malwarebytes isn't showing any viruses or malware that could cause this problem.
    What can I do to get rid of this "Critical Update Required" problem and get our browsers working again?
    Thanks.

    I have a Cisco E3000 Wireless N Router. I was having the issue accross OSX and Windows. This thread was a big help, but when I tried to get the latest firmware from Cisco I found the download link was no lnger present. I chatted with their support and obtained the following info if it helps anyone:
    "Linksys is aware of the malware called “The Moon” that has affected select older Linksys E-Series routers and select older Wireless-N access points and routers. The exploit to bypass the admin authentication used by the worm only works when the Remote Management Access feature is enabled. Linksys ships these products with the Remote Management Access feature turned off by default."
    " If you have not enabled the Remote Management Access feature of the router, you are not susceptible to this specific malware. If you have enabled the Remote Management Access feature, we can prevent further vulnerability to your network by disabling the Remote Management Access feature and rebooting your router to remove the installed malware. Linksys will be working on the affected products with a firmware fix that is planned to be posted on our website in the coming weeks."
    "What we can do to fix this issue is to make sure that the router's security settings is enabled and the remote management is disabled."
    "Ensure that the Filter Anonymous Internet Requests on the Security Page is enabled."
    "The next step would disconnect us from the session. We need to reboot the router to clear the cache."
    "According to the system, your product is already outside the complimentary assisted support period. I’d just like to inform you that we normally charge a fee for supporting this type of issue,
    but since we’re seeing a potential hardware problem with the product, we’ll be extending complimentary support just this one time."
    "We also need to upgrade the Firmware. However, the Firmware for this router is no longer available for download. Disabling the remote management on your router and securing it would help fix the issue."
    I did find the latest firmware for the E3000 here: http://www.userdrivers.com/LAN-Network-Adapter/Linksys-E3000-Wireless-N-Router-Firmware-Up date-1-0-04-build-6/download/

  • I can't download/install Adobe Flash Player update version 11.7.700.169.

    I have tried several times to download and install Adobe Flash Player update version 11.7.700.169 without success. My OS is Windows XP with SP3 and my web browser is Internet Explorer. My current Adobe Flash Player version is 11.6.602.180. In the Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player IE window I unchecked the checkbox "Yes, install Chrome as my default browser and Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer - optional"  and clicked [UpdateNow]. Then I followed the installation instuctions. When I tried to run the installer I got an Internet Explorer Script Error dialog box.
    I then clicked yes on the Scrippt Error dialog box and it closed. The new version did not install. I still have the old version.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Download and run the offline installer(s) from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header (under the heading Progress bar hangs...).

  • In IE I keep getting "adobe flash player 10 required" even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled

    in IE I keep getting "adobe flash player 10 required" even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version. Weirdly, the sound still works

    Just to update: Before posting, I tried everything I could find on Flash Player Help | Installation problems | Windows and nothing worked. The flash player stopped working in early November. I know it is some setting somewhere that I need to fix, but I just can't find it. I get a message that "adobe flash player 10 required" but, oddly, I still get sound.

  • Unable to install Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX -- Error 1722

    Hi,
    I am unable to install Flash Player 11.5.502.149 on Windows 8.  The error reported is:
    Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX -- Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action NewCustomAction1, location: C:\Users\Nick\AppData\Local\Temp\InstallAX_11_5_502_146.exe, command: -install -msi
    We have tried running uninstall_flash_player.exe to try and clean things up but this still fails.  Is there a known problem with installing Flash player ActiveX on Windows 8?  Flash player Plugin works fine just the ActiveX version which does not.
    Thanks,
      Nick

    Flash Player on IE10 for Windows 8 is delivered by Microsoft; use Windows Update to obtain the latest Flash Player version.

  • Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.6 r602 Stopped Working & was closed

    The title above is the Windows error flag I keep getting.  I am running Windows Vista 32 basic with IE 9. and Flash Player version 11.7.700.224... I have tried an uninstall (which says it worked) and then a reinstall of Flash Player (which also says it worked; and appears to be truely working) but I keep getting the message box about the update service which is annoying at the least. Is there a reference to 11.6 r602 that should have been erased? (I'm assuming this was the 'OLD' flash player number) or is this an actual problem/ conflict? Did some recent Microsoft Update monkey with the Flash Player Update program? What do you suggest?

    I also discovered that an additonal copy of 11.6r602 was hiding in C:/Windows/system32. it is also possible that a copy is in C:/Windows/system32/macromed.
    Important: Read the NOTE: (below at bottom) first before attempting this.
    If you use Windows Explorer and find it there try and delete them/it. If they/it are/is stubborn:
    Try  1.) Rt.click on an open area of the task bar; Click Task Manager.  2.) Click the 'Processes' tab. 3.)Try to find  the "Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.6 r602" description and highlight it. 4.) Click 'End Process'. 5.) Close the Task Manager.
    Then Try to delete again. If it is Still being stubborn:
    Try a.)Close Windows Explorer. b.)Rt.click on Windows Explorer icon; Rt. click on "Run as Administrator". c.) go find the offending file and highlight it. d.)Rt. click on the highlighted file and Rt.Click on delete. e.)authorize the delete. and  close windows explorer.
    Then, Finally:  Rt.click on and  EMPTY the 'RECYCLE BIN' !!!  Restart your computer and go see if you can find any trace of the offending file. It Should NOT be there.
    NOTE: Do NOT do any of the above until you read the next paragraph!
    The file that you are looking for is 'FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe'  The 'exe ' may not be displayed. but you are supposed to find a copy of 'FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe' in C:/Windows/system32/macromed/flash. BUT it is a Later Version. 
    Hover your cursor over the name and read the version. if it is NOT 'file version 11.6.602.180' LEAVE IT ALONE.  If it IS that version Delete it.
    This is what worked for me.

  • Adobe Flash Player update 11 gave me a virus

    The newest adobe flash player update gave my computer a virus that required me doing a system restore and completely removing adobe flash player from my system. It was sending spam emails in different languages and spam videos. It was able to slip through my virus scan in the initial download but was found after I scanned it again when I began having problems. I need flash player to do online school work, but cannot have my computer spammed, infected, and crashing anymore. Is there any way this can be fixed so I can use it without problems. Most people I know who have tried updating it have not been able to because their virus scan wont allow them to do it and it comes up as a dangerous file. Please help

    Download Flash Player only from the Adobe.com website, not any dubious 3rd-party download site.

    Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I keep getting "blocked plug-in" messages. Adobe Flash player update won't upload. Suggestions?

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.

  • After updating Flash Player, continue to get message "Flash Player Update Required"

    Even though I have just installed Flash Player 12 and it shows on my list of programs, I continue to get the message "Flash Player Update Required" when I try to view a video or play a Facebook game.  I have rebooted but still doesn't work.

    Issue resolved!  I uninstalled Flash Player and reinstalled it from the
    Adobe website.  Then rebooted and that took care of the problem.
