Cannot load Flash Player 10.1

I am running Windows XP SP3 (all updates installed as of 3 July 2010).  I am using IE v 8.0.6001.18702 cipher 128 bit.
When i try to install Flash player 10.1, I get the error "ActiveX control could not be registered."
There is only one user on the computer, and the user has admin rights.
I have successfully installed flash player 10.1 for Mozilla FireFox, but it will not install for IE.  I have tried uninstalling Flash player via control panel and via the unistall program provided by Adobe.
Please help me fix this issue.  Thank you in advance for your help.

  • Cannot load Flash Player, but for another Reason

    I'm having a dickens of a time trying to load Flash Player 10. My error message says that it can't because Chrome is running. But nothing else is running. I've tried all the troubleshooting suggestions. Anyone else ever have this problem ? Please help! I miss my movies and games on Facebook !!!!;)

    Maybe Chrome is running? Have you checked the Task Manager's Processes tab?

    What is your OS and version?

    Download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
    Close all browser windows, then run the downloaded uninstaller
    Try the installation again from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

  • Lightroom 2 Unable to Load flash Player

    I am trying to create a web gallery but receive the message 'Unable to Load Flash Player'. The preview window also says 'No Flash Player'.
    I have downloaded and installed the latest Flash player and it works fine in browsers and other applications
    I am running LR 2.4 under OSX 10.5

    Same here.
    On my other system I don't have this problem. I've checked every setting, the plugins are installed in exactly the same directories.

  • I cannot install flash player on my MAC - (osx 10.8.4) - it downloads 50%, then clicks to "finish"

    I cannot install flash player on my Mac - running OSX 10.8.4 and Safari 6.0.5.  The progress bar show is as  downloading to 50%, then converts to "installing" and immediately goes to 100% and says it's installed. But it's not.  I get another Adobe Flash installer icon on my desktop instead.  Help!

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    First, remove Adobe Flash Player completely using Flash Player uninstaller for MAC : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    Download offline installer for Adobe Flash Player (MAC) from here : http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
    Once the file is downloaded, run the installer
    Thanks,

  • Unable to load Flash player

    On my IMac, OSX 10.5.8, Lightroom running 64 bit I am not able to see any Flash galleries in the Web window - "Unable to load Flash player". Changing to 32 bit solves the problem, but was not the idea of creating a 64 bit version i suppose.
    Tried uninstalling Flash Player and then reinstalling it - did not change anything.Tried creating a new account - same result.
    I am also running a beta version of Lightroom 3 on my MacBook Pro in 64 bit, same OSX, and it does NOT have the same problem. Flash galleries showes up just fine.
    Any ideas what to do other than wait for Flash Player 64 bit?

    Flash Player is integrated into IE for Windows 8 & 8.1 by Microsoft. Since it's a "plug-in" and NOT a program, you'll NEVER find it listed as a program. It's located in C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash.
    The problem with IE11 is that Microsoft not only screwed up the code, but they refuse to admit it doesn't work. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using 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.

  • Lightroom 3 - Web module - Unable to load Flash Player

    Running to most uptodate version of Lightroom 3 - on OS X 10.6.4 also fully up to date.  Have downloaded and installed the latest Flash Player from the site.  This problem seems only to be on my 2.8ghz iMac with 2 gig of RAM.  Lightroom 3 and flash galleries work great on my 2ghz Macbook with 2 gig of RAM.
    When accessing the web module and trying to use one of the flash templates I either get a blank black screen or a white one with the error message of Unable to Load Flash Player.  From there I hit the Preview in Browser button and a flash gallery did come up in Safari, just not in Lightroom.
    Does anyone else have this problem, and more importantly how did they solve it.........

    Replying to myself.... I solved the problem by creating a new User Account in my OS.  Solved the Lightroom problem and also a problem with Mini Bridge in Photoshop CS5, where it wouldn't open Bridge.

  • Loading Flash Player 9 on PPC Mac - need help

    Hi!
    I am trying to load Flash Player 9 onto my Mac but it won't
    work. I've tried everything I could find on this forum (and yes, I
    did read all 87 posts on the topic). Anyway, my Mac is a Power PC
    G4 with OSX 10.4.11 and my browser is Safari 3.1.
    Every time I try to load, it takes me back to the downloads
    page on the Adobe website. I've used the uninstaller & tried
    reinstalling - no luck. I've tried changing the items mentioned in
    QuickTime - no luck. I've even tried using the code with the
    Terminal - no luck. Disk permissions - no luck.
    Any other suggestions before I take a hammer to my machine??
    Thanks!

    I just installed the Flash Player 9 on my Power PC based Mac OS X 10.3.9 and
    now no Flash elements work in Safari 1.3.2, or even Explorer. I have been sure to close all browsers, uninstall first etc. The
    installations appears to complete successfully, but I get the following error
    message on any page that has flash: Maybe Flash Player 9 is not compatible with it.

  • Lightroom 64-bit error loading flash player

    I just upgraded my computer to Win7 x64, and installed the most recent version of Lightroom which, of course, installed the 64-bit version of Lightroom 2.6.
    My problem, I get an error message whenever I go to the Web module:
    An unexpected error occurred while loading a module:
    Assertion failed: lua_pcall(L,2,1,0)==0
    Then if I click to continue, I get the message: Failure to load flash player
    Has anyone encountered this? Any solutions? I believe I have the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player installed. I'm stymied about how to go forward and I'm in the middle of rebuilding my portfolio gallery using SlideshowPro for Lightroom. I can still "build it" but I can't preview any of what I'm doing on screen in Lightroom.
    Thanks for the help.

    Thanks for your replies. I've read that Apple, for instance, won't support Flash on the iPhone (which I'd dearly love) because it's waiting for the "latest and greatest" HTML to replace it. Pretty silly really, since overnight, Flash won't disappear from sites that are already deeply coded in it. All you have to look at is the JPEG2000 spec to see that virtually no one has embraced this improved JPEG codec. Even Photoshop requires you install it as a goodie.
    Charlie, how did you get your Lightroom 64-bit to use the Flash player? Or are you still running the 32-bit under Win7 x64? I wish I hadn't updated my Lightroom, since I was running 2.5 32-bit and the player would still work. The stupid thing is, 64-bit Windows has been coming a long time. I downloaded (though never installed) 64-bit WinXP. Vista x64 was the first really major implementation of it, and now, most new computer systems (from Dell for instance) automatically ship with the 64-bit operating system. The raodmap was out there a long time. It annoys the crap out of me that suddenly a major component of Lightroom is non-functional.

  • Problem loading flash player...

    I am running windows xp sp3 ....... I down loaded the flash player 10. 102. 64 . everything went as planned ...the only place I could find evidence that the player downloaded was by going in to the control panel and add or remove software feature. It showed that it loaded it...but showed no memory occupation. While in Control panel, I highlighted the new flash player entry. and it simply showed a link to adobe support. So, I am here trying to help solve by providing my input.
    I logged on as System admin, killed the virus software processes, and downloaded it all again after having removed the previous version. Same Results
    I have taken several approaches with no success...each time going into the control panel and noting the entry of the flash player 10 with no mem. size being their.  I then uninstalled the thing using adobes DLM...it does say that it is installed and done...also it does remove the entry when uninstalling.
    I updated my java script .....once again the same results....right now ...my computer says that the flash player is loaded no memeory occupied (via control panel) but the only thing is a link to adobe....so, has any body had this experience.

    Thanks, I will revist the forum and look up the threads, I need all the help I can get, You have a great Christmas.
    I too will do without streaming videos , until after the Lords bithday has been celebrated.

    Subject: problem loading flash player...
    Hi, The Flash Player is a browser plugin, not a standalone player. There will be no size or any info in Control Panel/Add/Remove/Programs & Features.
    Check a couple of recent threads or click on my name to several threads I have posted on helping users with the same issue.
    Company coming in for the Christmas weekend and my time right now is limited.
    On those threads you'll see the info you need.
    Hope that helps,

  • I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac

    I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac Air.  I have repeatedly confirmed that I meet the system requirements and installed and uninstalled the software.  It always fails at 51% installation and give me and alert that says Install Error.  Please help!
    MAC OS 10.8.5
    Safari 6.1
    Firefox 26.0
    Just performed the update to FP12 on my iMac.  Worked perfectly.
    MAC OS 10.6.8
    Safari 5.1.10
    Firefox 26.0
    It appears the problem is with the newer OS...

    "Allllllllrighty then!" as "Ace Ventura" said....
    The problem ISN'T with Flash Player...
    If you remember back in September, when Apple released the 10.8.5 update, shortly thereafter... you no doubt discovered a file named "mach_kernel" was in your Mac HD directory.  And... unaware of what it was, you deleted it.
    That (mach_kernel) is a base file of OS X and Apple screwed up the update and made it "visible" when it's supposed to be hidden.
    Hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting Mac Users worldwide deleted it and it'll make things worse as time goes by.
    YOU'RE in luck, though. I have a fix.
    If you have a TIme Machine and use the "Secrets" pereference pane to reveal "hidden files", you can restore it from a "pre 10.8.5" backup.
    If not, I have a "fresh" mach_kernel file you can download.
    You'll need to download and install the Secrets prefpane. It'll then be in your System Preferences.
    Make sure you have it set to "show hidden files"
    Check the box and you have to restart Finder
    Press "Quit This" and then go to the Finder Dock icon and right click it
    Select "Open"
    Open your TIme Machine
    Go back to September 28 or earlier.
    You'll see the mach_kernel file in the Mac HD directory
    (I can't show it in the TM because screenshots don't work while it's open but here it is in my MAc HD)
    Right click it and select "Restore to"
    Then, when it goes back to Finder, choose the Mac HD directory and click OK.
    It will place the mach_kernel back where it was and you can install software again
    DON'T FORGET to go back and hide your files (and restart Finder) again, or you'll have a mess with the clutter of hidden files everywhere.
    IF you don't have the Time Machine...
    WITH hidden files shown, download this file (mach_kernel.zip)
    Move it to your Mac HD directory and THEN unzip it with Stuffit Expander or TheUnarchiver, whichever you use (most people have Stuffit).
    You should see the mach_kernel file there.
    You can delete the zip file, and then go back to Secrets in your System Preferences, and uncheck Show Hidden Files.
    Restart Finder and it'll be safely hidden again.
    THEN you can install Flash Player and other software without the "General Installation Error".
