Cannot Successfully install Adobe Flash Player

I have tried about 8 times to download Adobe Flash Player, following each of the steps required.  I get the "complete" message, but websites I then try to open tell me that to view I have to download Adobe Flash Player.  I evenn have in a folder the adobe flash player.exe, from which I've installed several times.  Several times I've rebooted my computer before trying to open the desired site.  That has not helped. How do I get Flash Player successfully installed and in operation?

Hi, I probably should have told you the reason that swflash.ocx needed removed is because it was very old. Ok, now we have the Flash files for IE correct and the Shockwave Flash Object. Oh, just some info: IE8 has various categories for listing add ons and it makes it difficult to find. When you see "currently loaded" or "have been used", etc. that is confusing. I use XP/SP3/IE6 and found out long long ago, what matters is whether the add on is Enabled or Disabled no matter where it is listed or under what category.
Now, back to the issue. Trying to determine when this audio issue appeared. Did you Install any new software, Uninstall any that you can remember? Try any trial versions of any? A new Toolbar perhaps? If you can think of any, let me know.
Now that we know your Flash files are correct and the add on is also, then something is conflicting. I have a couple of links and info on audio issues and will review them.
We may need to take a look at your add ons in IE, but usually those conflict directly with Flash Player.
Trying to pinpoint when the audio acted up will help.
Let me know and I'll see what I have on my Desktop.
Thanks,

P.S. What about Trend Micro? Is that new? What Anti-Virus did you have before Trend Micro? Do you have a version number? Something to consider.

  • Cannot un-install Adobe Flash player.

    I apologize if this has been addressed before but for the life of me I cannot un-install the flash player.
    The reason for the un-installation is because the flash player stopped was not working a few weeks back. After numerous internet searches most advice was to un-install flash then re-install. (easier said than done)
    For reference: Win XP Pro SP3, using Chrome and FF as browsers.
    I downloaded Adobe's flash uninstaller and have run it several times back to back (shutting down and re-starting) with absolutely nothing else running.
    My next step is to go to Adobe's web page to verify if Flash is installed and it always comes up with the latest version (10,1,103,20)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, thanks for the info. You don't have Flash Player Installed for FF or IE. Chrome is ok, nothing is needed for you to do with it.
    Go to this site: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Use IE and right click on the one for Windows, Internet Exlorer and RIGHT click on Download EXE Installer, click on Open in New Window and click SAVE and save it to your Desktop.
    Then right click on the one for Windows, plugin based browsers and RIGHT click on Download EXE Installer and do the same thing.
    Now you have the Flash Player Installer for IE and FF on your Desktop.
    At this time, Close all browser windows. Look in your system tray(area near the clock) and if you have any messenger services, such as MSN, Yahoo, etc, then Disable them.
    Make sure you use the Administrator Account for Installing Flash Player.
    Run the Installer for IE, when it is finished, the Run the Installer for FF. When finished, Reboot(restart) your Computer.
    Now go back to the Flash folder and post back all files for IE and FF(NPSWF) Follow my instructions for obtaining this info in my previous post.
    Then check for the addons for IE & FF (per previous post)
    You may want to print out any instructions to make it easier to follow.
    If you have any questions, let me know. I will be on and off the forum today doing Christmas things:-)
    Thanks,

    Yesterday, I "successfully" installed Flashplayer v.11.  However, it has not been working as I am often asked to install it when trying to look at a video, etc. sent to me via email.  So, today, I uninstalled it.  Then I disabled Norton Internet Security and again tried to download the new Flash Player.  However, this time I was unable to successfully accomplish the download.  I do not know why!  HELP!!

  • Cannot download/install adobe flash player

    Having issues downloading the newest version of flash player,  When visiting hulu I'm told to download the newest version.  I visit the download page, even after verifiying I already have the newest version, I then attempted to uninstall and then reinstall but still not working.  I've tried through both IE and Firefox, IE says it cannot be downloaded and Firefox downloads but wont install.
    I''m not very comouter savvy so any help avasilable would be nice, in language I can understand:)
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi Ash. I would try first making sure that everything you have in the way of Flash player right this minute is totally uninstalled on your PC, that is if you are using a PC. Go to control panel uninstall programs find that thing & zap it. Also if you are using Internet explorer & Firefox then you may have a problem with Firefox trying to but in with the download. For some reason Firefox doesn't always play nice with certain downloads like printer drivers, software updates & things like that. Not sure why. I suggest you uninstall Firefox as well, before you download Flash . You can always re-install it if you like it. I love Google Chrome myself but go with what your comfortable with. Once you have these done go back to the download page & make sure your download is for the 64 bit version of Flash player. First things first get rid of the flash player you have on there now & dump Firefox. Go to control panel find these two & uninstall.  Write me back if need to.

    Adobe no longer supports Flash on Android. Adobe doesn't recommend this (this versions have vulnerabilities) but if you really want it, you can try installing an old version from their archives - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html#Flash%20Player%20archives (you'll have to scroll down to find the Android versions).

  • I installed Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.169 onto my Macbook Air (OS 10.7.5) and when I went onto website it still read that I need update. I've tried 3x and still same message.

    I successfully installed Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.169 onto my Macbook Air 2012 (OS 10.7.5) and when I went onto website (Morrision Planetarium-California Academy of Science) it still read that I need update. I've tried 3x and still same message.  Is there something I am doing wrong?  Quite frustrating!

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    5. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    6. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • Cannot Install Adobe Flash Player 11

    I am trying to install Adobe Flash Player 11 onto a my computer but it just goes to 95% and locks up.
    I am using Windows XP Pro- version 5.1, service pack 3
    Enternet Explorer 8- version 8.0.6001.187.02
    The computer had a working copy of Adobe Flash 10X and Adobe Air on it.  When I could not get the Player 11 to install (went to 95% then locked).  I tried to un-install both the Flash 10X and Air, but they would not un-install (sent auto. error reports to microsoft).  So I used a pro un-installer program to uninstall them both, but the un-installer could not delete the "windows/system32/atmfd.dll" file.  Tried to un-install the atmfd.dll file manually but only get the "cannot delete atmfd: Access denied" error.
    I have tried clearing all my browser cookies, history, ect., stop my anti-viruse program, ran a register repair program, and re-booting my computer, then running the Adobe Flash Un-install Program (which always shows that the fash program is completly un-installed) and re-running the Adobe Flash 11 install program again.
    Same thing, the installer goes to 95% and locks up to the point that the only way to stop the installer program is to reboot my computer.
    What can I do to get this Adobe Flash 11 installed, as since I removed the old Flash 10X program I no longer have any Adobe Flash?  Which I do need.

    Ok, here is what I had to do to get the Adobe Flash 11 to install.
    (1. Run the Adobe un-install program from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315
    (2. Go in c:/windows/system32 and delete the Macromedia folder
    (3. Run a register repair program to fix any register errors.
    (4 Go in c:/Documents and Settings/Application Data and delete the Macromedia folder
    (5 Go in c:/Documents and Settings/Application Data/Adobe and delete the Flash Player folder
    (6 Go to Adobe.com and run the standard Adobe Flash 11 install program (the offline installer's at the Adobe site listed above would not run after I deleted the Documents and Settings/Application Data folders, for some reason)
    (7 When it got to Finish, allow it to auto. open a CMD screen and then answered Y to both questions.
    This is how I got it to complete the install and not lock up at 95%.  For some reason the Adobe un-install program was not removing the Documents and Settings Adobe Flash Player programs and these are what were locking up the install program.

    You don't need an Adobe ID or password to install Flash Player, but you may need to provide your system's Administrator password during the installation.

  • Cannot sign in to install adobe flash player

    I have a mac and I need to install adobe flash player. I cannot watch videos on my mac, I keep getting message on the screen that says "flash out of date."  I looked online and I am supposed to install adobe flash player, but I cannot sign in. I cannot figure out what "name" I am supposed to use when I get to the sign in pop up box. The pop up box says: "Install Adobe Flash Player wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." Then I have to type my "name" and "password." I have already changed my password, but I am guessing it is the "name" that is incorrect. I do not see an option where I an update the "name." I don't recall making an adobe account so I tried to create a new one, but when I used my email address (the same one I use for everything), adobe already has it on file. So I am assuming I already have an account, but I cannot figure it out or finish installing adobe flash player. I cannot sign in, please help!

    I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image".  I don't know what that is, but I cannot view anything that requires flash player.  What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for your help, but that didn't do any good either.  I have been double clicking from the download files, double clicking on the "install adobe flash player", closing the anti virus, closing Safari, watching the install progress and clicking finish.  It indicates that "flash player" is installed, but every time I try to view something requiring flash player, it tells me I must download it.  It shows up in the "system preference"  and from there I can make some changes, but it still won't let me view anything requiring "flash player".   It does not show up in my apps like Adobe Reader does.  It shows up in the "downloaded files" section of "Finder".  I'm getting really perplexed over my inability to get this right.
