After downloading latest version of flash player, why can't i play youtube videos?

every time i go to youtube, the video won't play and it says that the adobe flash player is required.  i have downloaded the latest version of flash player but i still get the same screen saying that the latest version of flash player is required.  i am using windows xp and ie8.
thank you.

Could you try the steps outlined in these two FAQs to make sure that you have Flash Player enabled properly?

    Frostbitblue,
    in Safari’s Preferences, select its Security tab, and make sure that its “Internet plug-ins: Allow Plug-ins” checkbox is checked.

  • Flash player freeze a lot when playing Youtube videos fullscreen from Linux, but plays ok from Windows (CPU: AMD APU)

    Flash player freeze a lot when playing Youtube videos fullscreen from Linux, but plays videos ok from Windows (CPU: AMD APU).
    When playing video in default size it's OK (windows and Linux), but when setting video in full screen, on Linux there's troubles: video is hashed (freeze every 3 seconds).
    CPU : AMD APU Athlon 5350.
    OS : Linux Mint 17 (64 bits).
    Browser: Firefox v31 (on Linux and Windows 7).

    Hi s, well congrats on getting your brother's computer up and running. On your system, you have all correct Flash Player
    files for IE and FF, as well as the SWO and SWF.
    Since the Install of Flash Player, have you installed any programs that would have added any ActiveX Controls, or any other add ons or plug-ins?
    Have you had an opportunity to see if your brother's computer has the issue you have when watching the same websites?
    Are you using any ad-block in FF(Firefox) or any pop up blocker software installed?  I can't imagine updating to FP version 10 alone would cause this.
    Is this happening only on the BBC website? Does what you watch come thru the BBC website or youtube directly?
    We have your brother's computer to use to determine what is going on. If he is able to see the BBC website and what you
    are having problems with, then we can rule out the website.
    Other browser add ons, anti-virus programs, etc. affect the browser. Even tho, no problem with vs 9. Sometimes updates
    can have an affect, even with Windows as we all know:-)
    Thanks,

    Do you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed? If not then go to the Adobe site and download and install it.

  • HT1338 cant download latest version of flash player please help

    Can some one help me. I can't seem to view all my pics or videos. Because i do not have the latest version of
    flash player. Now everytime i try to download it . It disappears,so basically it never downloaded. Can someone
    please help me..

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Flash player 11.8 does not play YouTube video Windows 7 Enterprise

    Since I spent days troubleshooting this, I thought I might save others the same.
    Environment:
    windows 7 enterprise 32 bit (System meets requirements for flash player)
    Workstation part of an AD Domain
    Occurs on all workstations
    Using a proxy to access the internet (this is not the problem as chrome works fine and HTML5 works fine)
    Flash Player 11.8
    Browsers: IE 8, IE9, IE10, FireFox, Chrome
    Chrome plays videos fine
    HTML5 Player plays fine in all browsers
    IE8, 9, and 10 do not play videos; it starts to play then loops then dies with youtube error message
    FireFox does not play youtube videos same as IE
    I tried all solutions found on the internet, adjusting browser settings or uninstalling and reinstalling flash none of it worked.
    solution down grade flash player

    "Chrome plays videos fine
    HTML5 Player plays fine in all browsers"
    Chrome has its own embedded Flash Player - the installed version DOESN'T affect it.
    HTML5 DOESN'T use Flash (It's MP4 or webm)
    Download the Flash Player uninstaller. Flash Player uninstaller
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    SAVE all files.
    On each workstation:
    Run the uninstaller to remove both ActiveX and regular Flash Player.
    Reboot and then run the installers to replace both plugins.

  • [Distorted Gateway Logo] Please Download Latest Version of Flash Player

    I have been told that some type of malware/phishing software/virus causes the pop-up window shown below to appear after a few minutes of inactivity and that if any poor soul were to hit the OK button, the malware package will be delivered.
    Avast, Malwarebytes, Advanced SystemCare, and Windows Defender have not been able to identify the culprit on my PC.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
    Thanks!

    I found the Gateway Screensaver to be the source of the message. Either uninstall the Gateway Screensaver or install the latest Flash Player from Adobe. I chose to uninstall the Gateway Screensaver. There is currently an unpatched vulnerability in Flash. Flash has had at least three such unpatched vulnerabilities so far this year.
    There are a few variations of Flash Player; ActiveX, plugin, and projector. ActiveX and plugin include an autoupdater, projector does not. The official download for ActiveX and plugin can be found at https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer. The page will autodetect your OS and Browser to offer the appropriate variation for your browser and version for your OS. The Gateway Screensaver probably needs either the ActiveX or standalone. So visit the page with Internet Explorer (uncheck all the optional components) to install it, if the message goes away done.
    If you still have the message you need the projector variation (formerly know as standalone player) which can be found at http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html where there are alot of links. Currently "Download the Flash Player projector" is the link you want. The downloaded file is the player itself not an installer. You will have to associate the Flash file type .swf with the flashplayer projector. I suggest copying the flashplayer file you downloaded to a location like a folder at c:/flashplayer/ with a name of flashplayer.exe to permit updating without having to reassociate the file type .swf for every new version. Associate the filetype by searching for .swf from the start button, click on one of the .swf files, choose browse when the open with window opens, find the flashplayer folder and the flashplayer.exe  check the always use box then click open then click ok. Very important, you will have to update this file manually, there is no automatic updater.

  • Downloaded latest version Adobe Flash Player, Won't run.

    D/L adobe flash player, windows 7, 32 bit, but computer won't run it.  Checked add-ons, registry, etc.  Any ideas???

    Flash Player is a built-in component of Google Chrome, so there's nothing separate to download or manage.  It might be an easier option.
    http://www.google.com/chrome/
    Otherwise, what browser are we talking about?  Do you have any add-ons like AdBlock Pro or Ghostery that might interfere with how Flash operates?

  • Have downloaded latest version of Flash Player but still can't view portfolio documents - Help?

    Just see grey screen and no documents are visible.   Has anyone else encountered this?

    Nobody has mentioned any operating system.
    On Windows there are two Flash Player installers:
    the ActiveX installer, which installs the add-on for Internet Explorer, PowerPoint, etc.
    the Plugin installer, which installs the add-on for other browsers, Adobe Reader, etc.

  • I've installed Flash Player, why can't I play a swf file?

    I'm trying to play a swf file in Windows 7. I've been able to do this before many times, using Flash Player, but it doesn't work now. I've recently done a complete reinstall of Windows 7 and my apps, and this is the first time I've tried to play a swf file since then.
    When I double-click a swf file, I get the "Windows can't open this file" dialog box. If I select "Use the web service..." it takes me to the Adobe website Flash Player installation page. (I've installed it previously, and I've installed it - twice - today.) If I select "Select a program from a list...", the list doesn't include Flash Player, though it does allow me to play the file in a browser.
    Some of my swf files I created with Captivate, and published them with an html file. When I open the html file, the swf file plays properly. Shouldn't I be able to play the swf file in the player, without opening the html file?
    Should I be able to see the player in my start menu programs, or in the Programs folder? I can't find it on my computer. Is there something else I need to install?
