Can't change Flash Player global settings

Hello,
I've had this problem about a year now and have been searching all over the internet for the solution. Ive seen it come up many times but it never fixes my problem, so I decided to just start a thread.
I have:
-Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
-Firefox 6.0 64-bit
-Flash Player version 10,3,183,5
Anyways, im sure youve heard of this before where you cannot change the global settings to allow webcam, mic, data storage or click allow and so on - and I have tried many things to no avail. I assume it is some problem with Windows 7 restricting its access and i figured maybe an update could help but it has still been the same for a year. I have two computers both with the same exact problem and I have tried everything suggested for this problem: delete "flash player" folders out of appdata, reinstalling, etc. but nothing has worked. Its been like this for a year and I cant deal with it anymore, any flash video or game that requires flash to store local data typically shows up as a black box or doesn't let me save my game. Please help me, this is extremely irritating.

I didn't even know that there was a 64-bit version of Firefox 6 - where did you find it?
Anyway, Flash Player 10.x does not run on 64-bit browsers.  So, in that light, how do you attempt to change the Global Settings, from the Control Panel applet, or via http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/se ttings_manager.htm ?
Sorry - I dont really know what firefox came in besides the version and since my computer is 64-bit I asssumed the program was too.
Also sorry for the late reply, Ive been doing school things lately.
Anyways,
Another question: if you delete the Flash Player folders from %appdata%, are they recreated after using Flash Player?
Now that I look at it, I believe so. I just checked my appdata and saw the flash player folders are there, but they are always empty. If there was a recent update it may of been that, but they are there again. Could that have something to do with it?

  • Flash Player Global Settings

    We have published captivate files to allow users to use as a
    training tool. When we launch the html file, we get the message to
    go to the Settings and allow the network location to the global
    settings in Flash Player. I would like to find a way to push out
    this global settings to all the workstations so we do not have to
    perform this task on 200 workstations. I tried to export the reg
    key with the settings and ran it on another workstation, but that
    did not solve the problem. My users will get frustrated and not use
    the training tools if there are any glitches.

  • Can you change flash player window size for a published Captivate course?

    I am working on publishing a course with a FMR and, during testing, a lot of scrolling was required so I wanted to resize the window.  Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it? Similar to Flash where you can publish to dimension %???

    you can adjust the movie size in the html, with varying levels of success based on how much you scale.
    edit the swf associated .htm file with a text editor and look for this line:  var so = new SWFObject("project_name.swf", "Captivate", "641", "516", "10", "#CCCCCC");  In this case the 641 and 516 are the pixel dimensions.  you can also change it to a %
    I've never done it with FMR so I won't attest to how well it'll work.

  • I can only use Flash Player in one tab at a time, only on Firefox.

    Recently, when I downloaded the new Flash Player, I can only use flash player in one tab at a time. This is only in firefox. I'll open youtube, and the visual and sound both play perfectly. I open up a new tab, begin using a flash website in that tab, and the youtube sound is quiet, only the visual continues to play. I need to multitask with flash sometimes, and this is a big problem for me. Help!

    By default, Flash 11.3 and higher will spin up a lot of distinct processes. You should be able to get quite a cacophony going.
    Have you ever done any troubleshooting that involves changing how Firefox works with plugin-container.exe or the Flash player's protected mode?
    Often it is helpful to disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash:
    (A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    (B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
    Unrelated, but you can remove the Java Console extensions unless you are a Java developer (and even then, you probably don't need the old ones):
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

  • What camera resolution mode is used by the Flash Player camera settings manager

    What camera resolution is used by the Flash Player camera settings manager? I am referring to the camera settings that you have to pull up by right-clicking on a Flash Player swf that is running, and from the right-click menu you hit settings...select the camera tab...and then you can hit the little camera icon and will show you the live video feed from the camera.
    In order for the live feed to be displayed, Flash Player requests a camera resolution mode to the driver. What mode is being requested?
    For example, could it be 160x120 @ 30fps?
    Or is it 176x144 @ 30fps?
    http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help04.html#117113

    I have the same cam as you (it's apretty darn good cam IMHO).
    I don't ever see any resolution request when I click the icon.
    My cam initializes at 1920X1080, per the logitech specs. The box in the settings is 4:3, but the cam is running at 16:9, in apps like Skype, or FaceTime (Mac).
    It shows the same setup screen in WIn XP, Vista, Win 7 and Win 8, which ALL share the same cam on my setup.
    Being as the cam feed in the setup is 4:3, I'd have to say the resolution is 160:120  as opposed to 176:144 which would be a 5.3:3 or 16:9.

  • Can't install Flash Player 12 on Apple Macbook Pro w/  2.6 GHz Intel i5 proc. Adobe needs to fix it

    Can't install Flash Player 12 via Safari on my Apple Macbook Pro 13" w/  2.6 GHz Intel i5 processor. Error message says "User does not have sufficient privileges." I've worked w/ Apple Tech Support, tried various fixes, no change-it's not a setting on the Macbook.  I've emailed Adobe requesting a fix. Any suggestions?

    Adobe can't fix user permissions on your MacBook... and "User does not have sufficient privileges" comes from your OS, on your MacBook, NOT the installer.
    Have you tried a "Clean Install"? (offline - NOT using Safari) How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X

  • Can't install flash player on Mac OSX version 10.4.11

    Hello
    I've spent the morning trying to do this and still no joy. I had flash player already and when trying to use the 4oD website it asked me to download or upgrade flashplayer. I did, the correct version according to my mac version. All goes well and the window message says 'installed successfully'.The only thing I find strange is that just before this message appears I hear the sound of items being put in the 'trash' ... and there they are. Other times the message error -1409 appears. The only icon that appears is the Flash player installer.pkg so not sure whether the application was installed or just the installer!  All web searches prompt me to download the missing plug in, both in safari and mozilla. Java script is definitely enabled on both browsers.
    I have use the uninstall package three times, restarted the computer, downloaded flash player again but no change.
    Forgive my limited use of jargon - this doesn't make any sense to me but I've just spent 3 hours following instructions to no avail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Can't install Flash Player upgrade

    Can't install Flash Player upgrade on Windows 7 system. Get it downloaded and get message "an exception Runtime error has occured in script".  Message says "new instance of MS Script Editor".  Try to debug and get message "can not create application folder"
    What do I do?

    Hello,
    I've seen another report of the installer throwing a script error, however, I've been unable to reproduce.   Can you please do the following to provide a log file for further troubleshooting:
    Download the installer from get.adobe.com/flashplayer and save it to the desktop
    Launch the command prompt, click the Start orb and in the search field, type: cmd.exe
    When the command prompt utility launches, drag the installer from the desktop onto the command prompt window hit space key and type /debug
    It should look similar to (the actual file name may differ): C:\Users\labuser\Desktop\install_flashplayer14x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe /debug
    Note there IS a space between the file name and the / and there is NO space between / and debug
    If there are spaces in the directory path, the command needs to be encapsulated in quotes, for example: "C:\Documents and Settings\labuser\Desktop\install_flashplayer14x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe" /debug
    Click Enter to proceed
    A file named host.develop.log will be saved to the same location the installer was saved toYou may notice the the online installer file is missing. This is because it deletes itself once executed, so it will no longer be saved locally.
    Post the contents of the host.develop.log file here in your response, or share the file following the How to share a document instructions.
    Thank you in advance.

  • I can't install Flash Player in Mac

    When I load the install program, it stop when the bar is in 0%, then I have to force exit because the program doesn't response…..
    Help me, please¡¡¡

    Hello,
    We apologize for the installation issues you are encountering.  Unfortunately, we have not been able to reproduce these installation issues using the online installer.  The offline installer Pat provided a link should work fine.  If you'd like to help us troubleshoot the installation issues with the online installer, and are comfortable working in the Terminal app we'd appreciate it if you could provide us with the install log file for the online installer.  If so, please do the following:
    Download the installer  from get.adobe.com/flashplayer and save it to the desktop
    Mount the DMG (double-click the file) and copy the .app file to a local folder (e.g. desktop)
    Open LaunchPad and in the top search window type Terminal, click the app icon to open the Terminal application
    In Terminal, change directories to where the .app is saved to (step 2), type: cd <location to file in step 2>
    e.g. If the extracted .app file is on the desktop, type: cd /Users/labuser/Desktop
    At the prompt, type: ./Install\Adobe\ Flash\ Player.app/Contents/MacOS/Install\Adobe\ Flash\ Player -debug - file
    Go back to back to the location where the .app is saved to (step 2)
    Right-click on the app and select Show Package Contents
    In the window that displays, navigate to Contents/MacOS
    Obtain the host.develop.log file.
    Post the contents of the host.develop.log file here in your response, or share the file following the How to share a document instructions.
    Thank you in advance.

    For Internet Explorer, you don't. Microsoft has already done it.

    For Chrome, you don't need to wither because Google puts it in the browser.
