Adobe flash wont work for general users in Citrix

I have a Citrix Xenapp 5 farm 2008 32 bit and I am trying to get Adobe flash 10 player working for general users. It works fine for admins though not when logging a citrix session as a general user (if I give that user admin rights it is fine). I have used the full edition of the installer with different versions and they all dont work for users.
I ensured that ie security was turned off for both users and computers.
gave read access to some registry enteries.
gave everyone group write access to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed.
I am using the citrix receiver.
it is not being streamed.
I excluded the group policies for the test user and still same issue.
I have tried different versions of flash and nothing has worked. I disabled the gpos for the user and still the same issue. the RSOP didn't have anything that stood out. there was nothing in the event log which gave any errors about it.
Seems to be a permissions issue somewhere.
Any ideas appreciated.

What is your operating system & version?
What is your browser & version?
What means "not working" - what exactly happens when you try?

  • Flash not working for one user, but not another on this CPU

    Hi,
    For user A on my computer most video will play in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. But video at nfl.com will not play. The ads will play but not the actual feature.
    I just found out that the videos on nfl.com will work for user B. I have rerun the Adobe Flash 10.1 installer in user A's account several times with no luck.
    Are there permissions or libraries I should trash to try to restore this capability?
    thanks,
    Steve

    HI,
    For user A on my computer
    Try uninstalling the current copy of Flash, reinstall new, then repair permissions.
    Uninstall Flash
    Install the most recent version of Flash here.
    Now repair permissions.
    Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    You may also need to delete the Flash cache. Instructions here.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11672709&#11672709
    If that doesn't help, install the v10.6.4 Combo Update It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.4.

  • Flash only works for one user

    Using IE7. I have three users on my computer. All
    have Administrator level access. Flash only works for one of them.
    When attempting to play a video on YouTube for example it says "You
    either have JavaScrip turned off or an old version of Adobe Flash
    Player."
    JS is turned on and the current version of Flash Player is
    installed.
    So does anyone know what is going on here?
    Thanks

    I was able to fix my problem of Flash only working on user
    account. I did the following two steps to correct the problem:
    1. First uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX
    control by following the instructions stated in
    tn_14157.
    2. Second Download SubInACL from Microsoft to fix permission
    issues that prevent the Flash Player installation by following the
    instructions stated in
    fb1634cb.
    Following the above two steps, fixed my problem of only
    having Flash run on only one user account. Now it runs on all four
    user accounts.
    As a side note: The Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control
    would not run in user accounts with Limited access. But when I set
    the permission of the user account to administrative, then Flash
    would work.

  • Flash Player Works for Some Users, Not Others

    I have recently upgraded my home computers to Windows 7 (64 bit). My kids all have standard user accounts. I have installed Adobe Flash Player as an administrator. It works for me (administrator) and some of my kids (standard accounts) but not for all of my kids. As far as I can tell, the kids' accounts are identical, so I can't figure out why some of them can use Flash Player and some cannot on the same computers.
    For the accounts where Flash Player does not work, we get a prompt to install the latest version (which, of course, is already installed). Even when I try to reinstall it (using my administrator password), the problem is not resolved. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player, with no success.
    I use both Windows Parental Controls and Windows Family Safety for my kids' accounts. All four kids have the same settings. I tried turning these off temporarily to see if that would make a difference but it did not.
    I am baffled. Help!

    Hi, very confusing, I agree. Here is a link to a thread that the poster found success.http://forums.adobe.com/message/2476140#2476140         (BruceTR)

    Microsoft's toll free # for IE8 issues, which this is.  Following is a great forum by Microsoft; covers Win7, Vista & XP and
    add'l topics.   http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/categories
    Also, the link for the live one safety scan by Microsoft:  http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm
    Hope this information helps you. IE7 and IE8 have more security and therefore use is restricted, i.e. Administrative and User classifications, etc.

  • Flash Player works for one user only

    Running IE7 under Vista. Have one other user on laptop with Vista. I am the Administrator.Since downloading latest version of Flash Player it will work on my log in but not when the other user is logs in.
    No error message. Simply all Active X items appear as box with a red X.  Have checked the Security settings for both users on IE appear the same.
    Tried Adobe Support chat service but all they could do was direct me to a Forum.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    This has come up multiple times over the last few months.  There has been a solution posted somewhere in this forum, but I don't remember what it was.
    Try searching the forum for "limited user" or such; hopefully you will find it.

  • I download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works

    i download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works. i haven"t tried much, but only because i have no idea what to do.

    After you've installed Flash Player (you have to mount the disk image by double-clicking and the double-click the insatller package) restart your browser and go to youTube, for example, -> http://www.youtube.com/ - and see if the videos play.
    Call back if you need any further help.

    Your best course of action is to email the web sites that use Flash and request that they support iOS. If you also mention that there are now well over 200 million iOS users worldwide that can't use the web site it might get their attention. A colleague of mine has been bent out of shape over the Flash issue since day one but he has finally started to contact web sites and request they support iOS. He has gotten several "we're working on it" responses so far. If all iOS users started doing this it would wouldn't be long before the issue would disappear. Strength in numbers and all that.

  • I need To install Adobe Flash Player 9 for my iPad 2

    I need To install Adobe Flash Player 9 for my iPad 2 or some thing like the flash player

    Not as most people think of Flash on an iOS device, no. The new version of Flash Media Server just provides a single server platform for streaming video both in Flash and HTML5 content formats. It won't work for Flash apps which is what most people want. And it's not something the user can install for connecting to Flash content;the provider has to implement it.
    It may, however, speed up the availability of content in HTML5 format since the provider doesn't have to run separate servers. And just FYI, it's not new. This version of Flash Media Server was released back in September.

  • Thunderbird Mission Control Desktop/AutoConfig not working for some users

    I have the file: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\defaults\pref\custom.js"
    It contains:
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
    pref("general.config.filename", "TMcustom.cfg");
    I have the file: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\TMcustom.cfg"
    It contains:
    var promptService = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/embedcomp/prompt-service;1"]
    .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPromptService);
    promptService.alert(null, "title", "testing");
    For most of my users the alert pops up fine when I start Thunderbird, but for a few it doesn't. All of the machines where setup with the same install script. If I log into one of the machines where it's not working as a different user, then it works fine, so I know the files are in the right spot. So why would it not work for specific users? Is there something in the user's Windows profile that could cause it to not work? Or are there any other suggestions?

    As it turns out this was a known bug that was corrected in the recent release of Java 7_65 and Java 8_11. Here is a link to the bug description in the database.

  • Fingerprint utility is not working for normal users - Tecra M11

    Hi All,
    I installed windows 7 pro in Tecra M11 laptop and the Toshiba finger print utility is not working for normal users.
    It is working only for domain administrators. The TFPU is not working for, normal domain users, local users, local administrators. If we run the utility it will ask to enter the windows password and once we applied the password then the message saying "entered password is not valid" will prompt even if we are trying to use the utility first time.
    If we try with a domain admin account it will work without any problem. Can somebody help me to trouble shoot this issue?
    Thanks.

    People nowadays experienced that no matter How many times we glide our finger it have no response.In this instance, you might be very afraid of Windows password lost by reason that there is a plenty of important data on your PC.
    Then what should you do? One choose is fix the Fingerprint scanners, but this method will cost a lot of money. The other is use the Windows password function to solve the problem. Certainly, this is a very safer, faster and easier to use method for you.
    According my personal experience, you can try these three ways to re-access to your PC:
    Method 1: Login with the default administrator account
    * Step 1: Start Windows PC
    * Step 2: When you can see the Windows login screen, press ctrl+alt+del keys Twice and it'll show Classic Login box
    * Step 3: Type Administrator as Username and leave the password field blank
    * Step 4: Press the Enter Key and then you can be able to login the default windows administrator account which is it created by default when install windows.
    *Note:* This trick is only work for Windows XP. And when you input the key combination Please don't put the cursor on any account. And if you change the name or password before, you cannot login by this way.
    Method 2: Use the previous password reset disk
    This method describes how to create and use a password reset disk for a computer that is a member of a domain. You can use a Windows password reset disk to gain access to your Microsoft Windows Professional-based computer if you forget your Windows password. Please click here to learn more.
    Method 3: Using Windows Password Unlocker
    Using Windows password remove software is could be the fastest and easiest way for you to reset your Windows password while you didn't create a password reset disk before.
    There are 2 options for you: recover Windows password with a bootable CD/DVD or recover Windows password with a USB flash drive.
    Before starting, a bootable CD/DVD or USB flash drive and a computer with CD drive are required. (Internal CD drive and external CD drive are both OK.
    Option 1: Recover Windows password by burning a bootable CD/DVD
    Option 2: Recover Windows password by burning a USB flash drive
    The whole Windows password recovery process can be divided to 3 big steps:
    * >> Step 1: Burn a USB flash drive to remove lost Windows password
    * >> Step 2: Set your target computer to boot from USB
    * >> Step 3: Recover forgotten Windows password with the burned USB flash drive
    In fact, all you need is a *Windows Password Unlocker www.passwordunlocker.com/windows-password-recovery.html which can help you directly reset your windows xp password, and then you can login your XP without a password required. Of course, there are also some other ways to do it, but this way may be most convenient one.

  • Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

    IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

  • I have Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, but I'm still missing Flash Player?

    So I have installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Firefox, and I'm able to watch youtube videos on my browser and other things that require flash player, but I have a disc that i got along with my Samsung monitor, and when I put it in my computer, it says that I do not infact have flash player. Also, when I try playing a game, DawnGate, theres a black box where a video should be, and it says that i do not have flash player, and it is required to watch these videos. I tried uninstalling, and I was unable to watch youtube, and when i reinstalled, I was able to watch youtube again, but that did not fix my problem. Is there something I'm missing? I look forward to hearing from someone soon.

    Odds are it's looking for the IE plugin: (A lot of software just assumes ALL Windows users are "slaves to Microsoft" and only have IE installed.)
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    or the standalone Player:

  • Flash player worked for months but now I have audio but no video / Windows 8 / Help

    Flash player worked for months.  But today suddenly the video part stopped working.  So I have audio and a blank screen.  This is across all applications: youtube, live streaming, etc.

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Operating system
    Browser
    Flash Player version - http://adobe.ly/wNzNAu
    Web Page URL
    Steps to reproduce
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows - http://adobe.ly/KShBWi
    Mac - http://adobe.ly/16Odlzb
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
    HTML5 video - http://bit.ly/ahzL63
    Non-HTML5 video - http://bit.ly/cqNb3w
