Can't install flash on new Windows 8 notebook

I can't decide which I hate more -- Windows 8 or the new FireFox, as I feel like I have never seen a computer before trying to do things that used to be automatic.
When I enter a site that wants to show a flash video, I see just a big black box, without the message that I need to install a plug-in.
When I go to the site to manually install flash (get.adobe.com/flashplayer), it says that java is not enabled. But Java is enabled (with the miserable ask before using "feature"). I have already clicked on the little globe on this site and chosen to allow java at this site. But it still says that java is not enabled.
Flash works fine in Internet Explorer.

I see that Javascript is not enabled. How do I enable it?

How can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop

how can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop?

For Internet Explorer, you don't. Microsoft has already done it.
For Firefox, Opera or Safari, use the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
For Chrome, you don't need to wither because Google puts it in the browser.

Can't install flash cs4 on windows 7

hello everybody,
I'm running windows 7 ultimate and I'm trying to install flash cs4 professional with no luck.
it always get stuck and about 93% and i get the error massage the it can't install flash cs4
please help me

Hi, just to expand my understanding. Have you had other versions of flash installed prior to the CS4 one? Maybe you should run a registry cleaner; there may be a reg problem based on my understanding. Also, check to see if you have any kind of software(like an antivirus etc), this may be not letting execute the installer files correctly.
Lastly, check to see if you have all the full privileges in your computer. Are you an administrator?
Please let me know if you have any questions. Hope this information is useful.

Can't install Flash on new Macbook Air

I've just got a new Macbook Air - new to this!
I have tried to install Adobe Flash Player with no success, can someone help?
Everytime the download gets to around 50%, it stops and tells me Safari needs closing - however it isn't open.
I've already tried a 'clean install' and rebooting from searching these kind of forums.
Help! (laymans terms please - I'm not that 'techie'!!)

1. Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
   Download it first.
   The next step is important.
   Click Safari in the menubar and select “Quit Safari”.
    Follow the prompts and install it.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Allow Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.

How can I save my current Firefox customization to install on a new Windows 7 installation

This is not asking for a problem fix.
How can I save my current Firefox 3.6 customization, toolbar set-up, plug-ins, add-ons, etc. to a file or files so I can install it, pre-customized, after I do a re-format and clean install of a new Windows 7 operating system?
I am currently in Windows Vista.
I'm just trying to make it so I don't have to re-customize everything I already have done by doing a fresh installation of Firefox.
Or can I just save the existing Mozilla Firefox program folder and then drag and drop it into the new programs folder in Windows 7?
Thanks,
numetro

A couple of links that can help with this, [[Backing up your information]] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]. The second one includes a link to a free utility that can make this easier.
Just saving the progams folder will not work, the user data is stored elsewhere.

The old permissions problem - Can't install Flash

I know this is an old problem but I have tried every remedy in the book and some I never heard of. I simply cannot get access to the old dll file.
Vista tells me I don't even have permission to view the permissions of this object. So, to put it simply I can't install Flash 10.1 and the old one has been uninstalled except for the troublesome dll file.
I have tried every method of either lowering the permission level or raising my authority without success. I have even tried some risky approaches. Is there a way to force the installer to install the new version to a new location?
TIA.
[I have spent hours on this both yesterday and today.]

Hi, Forgive me for omitting the essential info. I am running Vista Home
Premium (32bit), My primary browser is Opera 10.61. I also have a
recent version of Chrome and IE 8 on my machine.
The error message on installing Flash 10 is that it doesn't have
sufficient permissions to write to
Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\NSPWF.dll:5).
Since my previous note,I have temporarily solved the problem by
downloading the xpi version of Flash and putting the appropriate files
in the Opera plugins directory. However that does not solve the problem
for Crhome or IE8.
The larger problem is that I have run the installer as administrator,
logged on as administrator, tried changing the properties and owner of
the dll file and the entire Macromed folder. I even tried renaming the
folder. Permission is always denied. The most offending notice is one
that tells me that I don't even have permission to see or edit the
permissions of the dll.
Note: I did check to make sure that no identifiable processes were
running that would not let me access the dll.
Thanks.

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.

Cannot install Flash Player in Windows 8.1

Tried to install Flash Player in Windows 8.1 (32 bit). Used all the instructions; i.e, disable saftey, enable scripting, etc. An install box says Update KB2934802 is already installed. Searched computer for KB.....02 and Flash Player. Says none exist. Any suggestions?

Ever since Windows 8, Flash Player for Internet Explorer is written by Adobe ONLY. It's embedded by Microsoft, and you cannot:
- Update it
- Download it
- Install it
- Reinstall it
from here. You MUST update Flash Player ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) through Windows update. But... Using Windows 8.1 means you were forced to update to IE11, which has it's own problems and they can be summed up in three words...
"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
The REAL solution, like the original problem can also be summed up in three words:
"Use another browser"
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Hi,
actually I can only tell how it worked for me. I unzipped all zips into teh same directory and ended up with
d:\stage\disk1
d:\stage\disk2
d:\stage\disk3
Then I started the installer from disk 1 and follwoed all teh instructions. I did specify an Oracle Home as OracleAsInfra for the infrastructure to be in d:\OracleAsInfra and similar for teh Midtier OracleAsMidtier to be in d:\OracleAsMidtier
The rest ran smoothly

Hey robr72339266,
With a single user license, you can install Acrobat on maximum two computers, say, your laptop at work and desktop at office.
But, you cannot use Acrobat on both the machines simultaneously.
You will first need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine, then install and activate the software on the new OS with the same serial key.
Please Contact | Adobe to seek help on the same.
Regards,
Anubha
