Current versions of Flash Player won't work on my Windows 7 machine

When I install a late version of Flash Player it won't play videos.  Here's what I get on YouTube https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6246962/0002.png .   I then have to go back to a previous version.  When running the previous version Firefox nags me constantly about needing to update.  This has been going on for a year or so.   I run Firefox on Windows 7.  The latest version that works is 11.1.102.55
Of course the question is how do I make a current version of Flash Player work?

I'm sorry you're running into this.  This looks like a YouTube specific error, so you might be able to find out additional info on their forums.  Here's a few things I'd try to start:
1. Update to our latest version, released today: 11.5
2. Update your video drivers (feel free to post your system's dxdiag report if you run into problems with this) - Windows: how do I update the device driver for my video/display adapter?
3. Try disabling hardware acceleration in Flash Player - How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?
4. Pause the video and try changing the resolutions to see if that makes a difference
5. Clear you browser cache (or at least the Flash Player cache and settings, note that this will reset hardware acceleration back to the default - How do I clear my Flash Player cache and settings? )
6. Try clicking the popout or fullscreen buttons in the YouTube player.  Does that help?

Seem to have tried everything. i.e. chrome, firebird, archived flash players, etc. All not supported. Any insight??? It started when I tried to upgrade current flash player and it said I needed to uninstall current version, which I did, and then it wouldn't download the current one giving me the not supported story! Please help!!!!!!

    Hi Andy, that is correct, they don't support PPC Macs anymore.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

    Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
    Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!

    I'm sorry. I was hoping it would work for you. I have to delete it about
    once a day and reinstall it. It is really getting on my nerves. You are
    talking about deleting and reinstalling right? Sorry I'm not in the forum
    I'm just replying from my e-mail.

  • Flash player won't work after a successful download

    About my Mac:
    OS X version 10.8.4
    1.3 GHz
    Safari: version 6.0.5
    I have installed and unistalled flash player several times, and even restarted my computer. I followed all the steps to do so correctly, but the Flash Player won't work at all. Youtube and other websites give me error messages when I try to watch a video. They say "missing plug-in".
    I really can't seem to find the problem.

  • Flash player does not work properly on Windows 7 32 bits

    Hello,
    My flash player does not work properly on Windows 7 32 bits with Firfox and IE8 (lasts versions).
    My Flash player version : 10.0.45.2, but I tried with version 9 too, with same problems.
    I have tried to uninstall, reboot, reinstall several times, ... witch did not worked.
    In fact, it works correctly on some sites, like youtube, but not on some others like :
    http://www.dailymotion.com/ => black screen instead of videos, right click gives flash context menu
    http://www.canalplus.fr/ => videos does not load, right click gives flash context menu
    http://www.myspace.com/ => no audio player, right click gives flash context menu
    some games in http://www.kongregate.com/ => black screen instead of games, right click gives flash context menu
    I have no problem with shockwave in http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
    No problem too with flash player on http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    But in the Global Privacy Settings panel (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l), I cannot change any settings :
    I cannot check boxes,
    My changes are not saved.
    In most of flash animations, videos, ...,
    when I click on parameters, I cannot do anything, even closing.
    when I am in full screen mode, the message "press escape to exit...." does not disappear.
    Last thing, all those problems was not there when I was on Windows XP, few weeks ago, and appear with my registered Windows 7 premium familly edition, with the same hardware configuration...
    Thank you for your help

    Install the most current version.

    Ensure that Internet utilities do not block Flash Player
    I tried (uninstall, install and run) without Avast.

    I really do not understand !!

  • Latest version of Flash Player doesn't work in Imac and Macbook Air 10.6.8

    Flash Player is not working in my Imac nor in MBA, after installing and reinstalling latest version of FP many, TOO MANY times for the past week.
    I haven't found any answer in the forums for Mac users.
    I'm using Safari 5.1.9 and my OS is 10.6.8. Javascript is allowed under security tab.
    The error I get in Youtube says that I need to install the latest FP version to play videos, then gives me the link to download FP. I also get error in other websites like Google maps, when I try to do a "street view" for example, and TV on demand.
    Please Help! Should I revert to installing an older version? I wasn't having this problem until I updated to FP 11.8...
    Thanks

    Download the offline installer here: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac /install_flash_player_11_osx.dmg
    Mount the DMG and run the installer
    If it won't run, go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
    Trash the Flash Player.plugin file from there
    Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Trash the Flash Player folder (the whole folder)
    Empty the trash
    Reboot
    Mount the DMG and run the installer again.

  • Now that I have installed OSX Lion, my flash player won't work.

    After I installed OSX Lion a few days ago my flash player suddenly stopped working. It won't let me update (it says I have the newest version) and when say, I try to watch a YouTube video a little box comes up over the player with settings and the "allow" button but no matter if I use the trackpad or the keyboard I can't select anything.
    It's getting really annoying because I can't play games, watch videos or video share online anymore and I have no idea how to fix it.
    Is it just something that will be stuck until Adobe releases a version that isn't beta for OSX 10.7?

    This allows me to watch videos which is great but still when I try to play any flash games or enable a webcam on something other than iChat, Skype or Photobooth the dialog box comes up and even using tab and space bar like Adobe suggests doesn't seem to work. :-/
    Glad to be able to watch videos again though

  • Disc that needs flash player won't work

    I have a disc that goes with my textbook for class that
    requires the use of the flash player. I bought a new computer for
    school that has Windows Vista. I installed the flash player 9, but
    the disc still won't play. The flash player works for sites on the
    internet, but not for the disc. I tried it on an older computer
    that had flash player 7 and it worked fine. But, I heard the Flash
    Player 7 won't work with Vista. Is there anything that I can do
    about this. Buying a computer was a waste of money if I can't use
    it for school - which is why I bought it.

  • How can I download the current version of Flash Player?

    After nearly 3 weeks my original request received 0 replies; I'm not too impressed with this forum. I uninstalled and reinstalled my OS X 10.6.8 operating system on my MacBook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo after following troubleshooting instructions to uninstall which left me w/o any version. I was then able to reinstall version 10.1.102.64 of Flash Player. However, I am still not able to install the current version, 11.1.102.55, either using Safari or Firefox. What is the issue? I hope this inquiry is viewed and answered since my previous posting was not.

    I just wondered if you ever saw my reply to your above message since it doesn't appear here. I've copied it below:
    When I click on the link provided in your email, it takes me to: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550 where I select the link below.
    MacintoshFlash Player for supported browsers
    Upon clicking on that link, using my satellite connection, I see this url: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg as my screen goes black for a very few moments and then returns to the same screen where I made that selection, the page I see when clicking on the link you provided in your email.
    That is all. It is about the same experience I have when clicking on the download now button/link at: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. I see the page: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.1.102.55/install_flash_player_osx. dmg, but while it says the download may take a few minutes it only takes a few seconds, if that, to return to one of the previous pages. This is my experience using Safari. With Firefox, which I have not been using regularly and had not upgraded to the latest version, I found I was unable to upgrade Firefox and so maybe that tells you something. The problem may be more with my computer than with your software.
    Still I am clearly quite frustrated at not being able to view certain videos, etc. which use the latest version of Flash Player.
    Thanks for your concern.

  • Flash player won't work and new one won't install

    My adobe flash player is not working, when I tried to download the latest flash player it would not install which means I cannot download a file i need from the transfer email program which requires the flash player. I have gone to the web site and went through the suggested routine of making sure things are enabled. Still no Luck. Need help!

    What is your operating system & version?
    What is your web browser?
    What exactly means "not working"?
    What exactly means "cannot"?

  • I'm back, I have the current version of flash player, but...

    I've checked every where I can.  I have the current flasher version, but if I open a page w/ a video on it, either nothing happens or I get the "load the latest version of flash player to view. 
    Any ideas, suggestions, ???
    Thanks for your help(s) !!!

    You may have to delete Flash and reinstall it. But if you are sure that you have the latest version then open up Safari > Preferences > Security and check that plug-ins are enabled.

  • Flash Player won't work following malware removal - help!

    I removed some malware using malwarebytes, which I thought was the end of my problem, but in fact it has opened up a bigger one, in that Flash Player has stopped working.  I've tried uninstalling and re-installing - now have version 10.2.153.1 - but no success.  Kids didn't mind when they couldn't access their online homework; not so happy now they can't play their games either.  I've looked at other discussions for a solution, but nothing quite fits this problem.  Any help gratefully accepted.
    I can follow instructions but I'm not techie, so any replies need to be idiot-friendly, thanks.

    Have just spotted your post about the "kill-bit" http://forums.adobe.com/message/3432049#3432049 - sounds remakably like my problem so will check it out when I get home this evening.  Just one question though - is there any point in first trying to do a system restore to a point prior to the malware removal, or would I be wasting my time?
