Conflicts with installing Flash Player 10.1

I keep getting this error window each time I have tried to install the Flash Player even when I try and install it as the administrator, Here is what it says
A required file
(C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll:5)
could not be written due to insufficient permissions.

Do you run the installer as an Administrator user?
Also, did you try to uninstall FP (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html) before attempting the new install?
If after the uninstall this file (C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll) is still there, restart Windows, then delete it manually.
P.S. note that no browser window must be open when you run the uninstaller.

Problem with installing Flash player 14 in my Macbook Pro

I tried to install Flash player 14 in my Macbook Pro, however, it stuck at "retrieving install" screen, it is supposed to be a new version, anybody has the same problem?

Yes same issue. I even tried chatting with adobe support but they did not help as I am not a paid subscriber. I have seen many others with the same issue. I hope adobe is aware of this. am trying to contact them.

Help with installing Flash Player 10.1 in IE7

Hello All -
I have been having issues installing Flash Player 10.1 in IE7. I have pretty much tried everything to install this into IE7. I was able to install Flash Player 10.1 in Firefox with no issues at all. I have tried to install it through the Adobe Download Manager - it downloads to 100% and then I receive a Error:Installation failed message under Progress. I also tried to install Flash Player through the manual installer - I run that install file and then receive the error that says "The ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered. In the Troubleshoot Flash Player installation page on Adobe - I have tried every single remedy that they list under this error message but to no avail. Any ideas? I am running Windows XP SP3 and IE7. I also tried IE8 earlier in the day with the same result so just downgraded back to IE7.
Thanks
Pat

I tried all solutions but one posted in adobe support. I am local administrator but IE security settings are set by group policies and buttons in tools security setting are grayed out.
After three days with "The ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" message I tried registering the activeX control manually.
Bingo! that made the trick.
So open a DOS window, type "regsvr32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx" -first check if this directory exists and contains the Flash10d.ocx (no quotes needed) and you should receive a confirmation that it registered correctly.
I must say that I've tried so many ways that I cannot repeat the correct order before this has worked ;-(
Hope it works for you all

Issues with installing flash player

My computer tells me that I can't install flash player because the security settings won't let me. When I go into modify the security settings, there's nothing there. How do I "turn on" the security settings so that I can choose to enable or disable things?

Without any information at all, it is quite impossible to help you.
What is your operating system?
What is your browser?
How do you install Flash Player?
What part of your computer tells you about security settings, and what is the exact message?

Internet Explorer 7 might be in conflict with Adobe Flash Player 10 Activex !

I have noticed from trial and error, that whenever I switch on the Computer, activate the Internet Explorer for surfing Internet, the IE7 is not running smoothly rather erratically. As it Internet Explorer 7 is getting some resistance from any conflicting software installed. Upon running the IE7 at no-adds-on-mode I have identifed two such applications., (i) Roxio Drive Letter Access BHO. and (ii) Adobe Flash Player 10 Activex. About (i) I have disabled through Windows Defender, but on (ii) I am lacking any direction. How this can be made compatible with IE7 ? I will be much helped should any experienced person can advice me.
About some Technical points about my computer :
          > The Operating System : WINDOWS VISTA SERVICE PACK 2.,       Version : 32-bit.
          > Web Browser               : INTERNET EXPLORER 7.
          > Flash Player Version   : 10 Activex
          > Important Information    : whenever I uninstall the Activex and run IE7, it is found OK.

Thanks, I'm curious to find out what's different. I've repair disk permissions again using the one in Disk Utility instead of Cocktail with not luck As far as I can tell, all my issues seem to be occurring solely on www.adultswim.com and is sill happening with Camino, Firefox, Safari, and SWF & FLV Player. I'll keep checking other sites to see if the problem manifests itself elsewhere and I'll post any other changes I make to my system that might appear to help.

HP Solution Center conflict with Adobe Flash Player

I have an HP Deskjet F2210 Printer and when I installed the most recent upgrade of Adobe Flashplayer the hp solution center would not open. I uninstalled the flash player and hp solution center. I then reinstalled the solution center and it runs fine. I installed the flash player again with same results. Is there a fix for this conflict?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

As the Flash Player has been installed or upgraded later then the HP Solution Center, it may ause this conflicting.
Please try the following Steps:
1. Insert your printer installation disk and cancel any installation if it will automaticaly begin.
2. Enter My Computer, right-click your CD Driver and then click browse.
3. Enter the Setup folder.
4. Enter the SolutionCenter folder underneath and locate the SolutionCenter.msi file (will have different icon then any other on that folder).
5. Right click the file, then click Repair.
Accept any alert during that installation and reboot your PC when done.
Now check if the Solution Center may be launched again.
If you have installed it from the web, run the downloaded installation package to extract its content, then close any opened window.
click Start > Run, type %temp% and accept.
locate a the latest folder starting with 7Z (you may have several, simply locate the latest one by checking the Change date)... it will contain the HP installation folder.
Then continue from step3 above.
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos thumb up in the post.

Having difficulties with installing Flash Player on Mac 10.5.8

I am running Mac 10.5.8 with the most recent version of Firefox and am unable to install Adobe Flash Player. I have tried uninstalling the previous versions of flash and have even used the Adobe Flash Uninstaller tool for mac to make sure everything is removed. I have verified that the new 11.1 Flash version has installed and Safari and Chrome both recognize it as being installed. However, on Firefox I just keep receiving the message " Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page". Additionally, I have tried multiple versions of Firefox downgrading all the way to 3. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try to disable the message " Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page" to see if this is the problem, in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config About:config] modify '''plugins.hide_infobar_for_missing_plugin''' to '''true'''
type in the address bar '''about:config'''
then press the button''' i'll be careful i promise'''
then type in the bar '''plugins.hide_infobar_for_missing_plugin'''
then '''double-click''' on it, to make it '''TRUE'''
exit firefox and restart-it.
See for info : [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugins.hide_infobar_for_missing_plugin Plugins.hide infobar for missing plugin]
if this does not work you can change it again it the default FALSE.
thanks again

RealPlayer conflict with Adobe Flash Player

Hello. I recently downloaded the latest Adobe Flash Player 10.1.53.64. Immediately after, when trying to play a RealPlayer Version 11.0.1 (949) file I got a warning message ‘Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation ... RealPlayer is trying to communicate with this internet enabled location.’ Having clicked on Settings I could play the RP file but could not manipulate as before — ie stop pause restart etc. In other words Adobe — has apparently hijacked my RealPlayer stuff. I need Flash for the BBC iPlayer so I uninstalled and reinstalled but got same result. Any ideas please, pref with copy to email below?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The current version of Flash is 10,1,82,76.

PROBLEMS WITH INSTALLING FLASH PLAYER ON MAC AIR

Is this when downloading or installing?
You can download the offline installer here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
Then you just have to mount the DMG and run it.

Potential Java conflict with Adobe Flash Player 10?

I applied the Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 1 to my MBP 10.6.2 today and noted a problem that didn't exist before with streaming flash video. When I connect to http://www.adultswim.com and select any flash content to play, all I get is a flashing screen alternating between black and white. I see the problem in Safari, Firefox, Camino, and SWF & FLV Player. An additional symptom noted is that if I access the flash control panel while viewing the flickering screen, I lose control of the panel and cannot close it or change anything. I've been out to Adobe's site and verified that I'm running the latest Flash Player version, 10,0,32,18. I've also run Cocktail and reset permissions just in case. I've not seen this problem on YouTube or any of the content provide by Adobe on their Flash Player page yet.
One additional note, I can launch Windows 7 in Parallels and not have the problem with IE, Safari, and Firefox. Also, my wife's laptop, identical to mine BUT without the Java update does not have this problem at all.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone have suggestions on where to begin troubleshooting this issue or maybe have a potential solution?
Regards

I have a simirar problem on linux operation system. Using
version 7. One page didnt work because the version was too old. And
when i force to load it i got a lot of object missing or they
havent got right properties. Now i have reinstalled the system and
some a bit different problem appeared Onsome buttoms i can only see
a first letter. Text in chat window is not appearing. If i clok a
few times on some buttons web browser freezes. I suspect that is
the problem with too old version or improper instalation. I
installed some old plugins too before installing new one.
Try to run OS as administator. Try flash if it is working.
If it is:
find where flesh player is installled and check permission
attributes there.
try to find out what kind of devices flash is using and
cgange permissons to them.
I dont know how is mac os consisted. I suspect it has also a
/dev folder as linux.

Help with installing flash player

Hi...I'm so confused on this thing here. I've
installed this more than 5 times now. First I'll mention that I
needed this because I enter a contest daily and it called for this
download. Now I also clean my computer regularly and after I do
clean my computer it seems to not work. Like its almost gone or
something. So then I have to try and reinstall and it never works.
I end up having to go thru th process of searching for it and
deleting it and then refinding it and installing it. Just a few
questions tho...why does this seem to get deleted when I clean my
system? And after I clean my system why is it so hard to reinstall
this? And how do I just get it to stay put when I clean my system
so I don't have to go thru this? And I don't know if its just me
but it seems like it slows my system down a touch. Any help would
greatly be appreciated. Thank You So Much!!

since you didn't give us any useful information to help troubleshoot, I suggest you browse the FAQs to find an answer that matches your OS & hardware. If that doesn't help, browse the other questions that have been answered. If that doesn't help, post details of your hardware/software and what is happening when you get the message.
