Down flash player questions

I am running windows 8. I am not at all familiar with the new system. I cannot download the latest version of flash player. How do I do that?

What exactly means "cannot"? What browser are you using? Internet Explorer 10 comes with Flash Player preinstalled; use Windows Update to update Flash Player.

Large memory usage which slows down Flash Player

As described on the picture, the latest Chrome running on Win 8.1 is using over 1GB of memory. Now, I wouldn't have any problem with that, as I have 16GB RAM. The problem is that the game (Goodgame Empire) is slowing down as the Flash Player's memory increases. I suppose the problem here is, that I don't have any limit set for flash player's memory cache. But how can I do that?

I have page file limited to 1GB and only for debugging purposes (BSODs -> dump file) stored on a fast SSD drive. It's a 2D game running perfectly for the first two or three hours. But then the flash player's cache is rising and the performance is going down. No other tabs are open. I have a brand new Haswell 2.4/3.4 GHz, so the CPU isn't the issue too. No other apps except for the browser are running. And I have tried it in two browsers with the same result: Chrome and Opera.

Hi Bentley,
I just noticed something. The link that I pasted, to your
post, does not work either. I noticed why, however, and it seems to
be why the link in your original page does not work, and why the
link in my post that goes to your post does not work.
It seems to be that if a link has a period after it (i.e., if
it is at the end of a sentence), the period is incorrectly included
in the "real" link. Somehow, whatever mechanism that processes the
post has a mini bug in it.
If you go to the link that is results in "Sorry, this page is
not available", and look up into the browser address bar, you will
see the period there each time.
I just thought that I would point this out, too, so that the
web techs in charge of the workings of the forums could look into
it.
Here is the original link, without a period after it, to your
original page.

Flash Player Question for Adobe

Hi I am new at this, I posted a Question a day ago under Flash Player 111 people have looked but no
answer.
I can watch Videos & Animation the only thing that will not work is Adobe download, the screen
freezes every time after telling me it cannot install. It takes a couple of minutes to unfreeze
microsoft askes to send error report but that freezes and anything else I try to do.
After Adobe screen completes it then just drops of the screen, when I go back to
Internet Explorer it asks do I want to go back to session that terminated, if I say yes we go back
freezing again. If I go to home page all works well again. I need the Macromeda Flash Player
for Incredimail, I have been using this programe for many many years only now having this
problem. I have also downloaded the Flash removal program and it worked okay.
Please Adobe there must be a reason.

Here's my advise.
Focus ONLY on Flash Player. Don't think about the other installs because it just causes confusion.
Now, try this and ONLY this and report back:
1. Launch Internet Explorer
2. Go to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome
3. Tell us what version of Flash Player it says is installed
Do NOT look in control panels for installed programs. Flash Player is a browser plugin/activeX control, it's not an installed application. It only works with your browser. The above test will tel you if it's installed and running correctly.
Also, incredimail is an application that gets installed on your machine. I don't see what it's relationship to Flash Player is.
OK I uninstalled all Flash Players to test this, and incredimail does seem to rely on the presence of most likely the Flash Player activeX control.
Still, do the above test and see what it says.
Then do the steps in this technote VERY CAREFULLY: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/163/fb1634cb.html
If the steps in this technote seem daunting then I'd suggest seriously considering taking the machine to a local professional.

Web gallery / Flash Player question

Not sure where to post this, so I'll start here.
In CS3 web gallery, after I create the gallery and it goes to view it, the browser (Safari) open up to a blank page with the following statment / links:
Please upgrade your Flash Player.Already have Flash Player? Click here if you have Flash Player 6 installed.
This is very irritating. I have Flash Player 10 installed. I still get this window each and every time.
I tried FireFox3 and got the same outcome. In fact the only way to get the Web gallery to play is to click the link "click here if you have Flash Player 6 installed", then the web gallery opens. The other link, of course takes me to the Adobe Flash Player upgrade site, but as I said, I already have Flash Player 10 installed.
There must be something in the html code that presents this page first. Does anyone know how to remove / stop this page from opening.
thanks guys & gals.

The file "flashobject.js" is a Javascript file that, among other things, detects what version of Flash is on the browser and complains if it doesn't like the current version. The code that actually detects the version looks at the first character to the left of the "." in the version number and decides that that is the version. If you are running version 10 of Flash that code decides you are running version "0" and complains.
You can fix this by going to the function "getFlashVersion()" in the "flashobject.js" file and replacing the following line:
flashversion = y.charAt(y.indexOf('.')-1);
with this line:
flashversion = parseInt( y.substr( y.indexOf('.')-2,2) );
You will have to do this with each copy of the Web Photo Gallery you are using as well as with the copies of "flashobject.js" that are buried in your program files for Photoshop (assuming you use Photoshop to create your Galleries as I do).
WARNING: Use this fix at your own risk. I am not a Flash developer, I just know something about JavaScript. I did test this with a Flash 9 and a Flash 10 player but not as extensively as Adobe would if they released this patch. If it doesn't work for you that is your problem.

Flash Player question, Whats Apples opinion?

I just got a window suggesting I install Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.94
What is Apple recommending about flash player I seem to recall it wasn't too happy with it, about a year or 2 ago?

It has got a lot of security problems that may put your iMac in risk. Moreover, most of the Flash updates are released to fix security issues, so if you can, it's better not to use it. The same happens with Java
OS X Mountain Lion now allows you to choose in which websites you want to use Flash. If you are using OS X 10.8.4 and Safari 6.0.5, open Safari, go to Safari menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Security, and you will be able to choose the websites you want to use Safari in

Flash Player question involving Dreamweaver

After successfully installing the Adobe Flash Player, version 10,3,181,26 on my 32-bit Windows Vista with Internet Explorer 9 (also a 32-bit version), I am still getting this message when I open up any HTML document in my trial version of Dreamweaver CS5.5; "Flash Plugin was not found. To view Flash content in Live View, install the Firefox Flash Plugin from www.adobe.com" Why? Did I need to select (or deselect something in Internet Options before I installed the Flash Player? Or am I getting this message simply because I have the "trial" version of Dreamweaver CS5.5? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

My apologies, I assumed from your first email mentioning you needed to install the "Firefox Plugin" that you already had Firefox installed on your system.
Depending on which browser you use when you visit the Flash Player download page, it will present you with the appropriate installer. If you want to install a different version, you can simply use that other browser when you go to the download page, or you can manually specify a different version to download.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
This page will let you select the OS and Player version. You should select "Flash Player 10.3 for Windows - Other Browsers" to install the Plugin version.
Sorry for the confusion.

Adobe Flash Player Question.

Hey, I am trying to create a powerpoint presentation for an assignment at school. I need to embedd a youtube video to my slide and I am using powerpoint 2010. When i go to use to Insert video from website option it is disabled and gives me the error. "Cannot Insert videos from website because no compatible version of Adobe Flash Player is installed." I have just downloaded Adobe Flash Player 10.1 and it still gives me this error.
Any help?
thanks

Hi, I don't use Powerpoint and can't help you with it, sorry. However, when you first open your thread here, look on the right hand side where "More like This" is. There will be threads with similar discussions about Powerpoint. Take a look at one or two and there will also be "More like this" on any of the threads you go to. Then this gives more threads and hopefully you will find your answer.
Thanks,

About in tears from new adobe flash player 10.3 not working

After installing the new Adobe Flash 10.2.153.1 on my Windows7 64 bit computer, it can not be found when using my IE8 (does not show 32 or 64 bit only 256-bit).
I have uninstalled using your reference on "please read: when asking Flash Player questions" and then reinstalled. It is on the programs list as installed but when I go to a site that needs me to use Adobe Flash it says I need it install it. Whn I go to the adobe web site to verify that I have installed Adobe Flash it only has a box with a small red x in the corner.
I have updated my devices drivers. I do not completely understand what a "kill-bit" is; however, I have gone into my registry and there is no registry keys that have {d27....etc}. There are many other numbers and most have a compatibilty flag of 0x00000400. So I must not have a "kill-bit" for Flash Player set. Not sure what that means.
Can you help me? And have I given you enough info?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

FYI - have uninstalled adobe flash player since we last replied should I try to install again?
I have checked this too and
*Shockwave Flash Object installed and Enabled. version 11.5.7.
* Yes at medium now (was at med high)
* have mcafee but just installed tonight your recommended microsoft security essentals (did a quick scan tonight)
* C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash - FlashInstall (txt file) and Install (txt file)
* No error messages - was told it was installed successfully
thanks!

ADOBE FLASH PLAYER UNINSTALL ISSUE- FEB 2015

POSTED FEB 2 2015
hello fellow mac users - I have an adobe flash player question...
I am sure everyone is aware of the adobe flash player vulnerability that came out late January 2015.   Initially when I saw that, I promptly removed flash player on my machine and installed the new version 16.0.0.287.    A day later when I started my machine, I saw a Flash Player message indicating I have to download again. I googled and found out Adobe actually only partially fixed the vulnerability.
Exasperated, I decided to say bye-bye to Adobe Flash for good by uninstalling Flash Player.   After uninstalling, I went to Youtube and played a video - it shows that its using HTML5 codec to play the video - so far, so good.
The issue I am having is that since I uninstalled the Flash Player, whenever I start up my machine I am getting this "Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller" pop up window.
The first time I saw it, I clicked on UNINSTALL button and it will say "Adobe Flash Player was removed".   But every day when I start up my machine, it still shows this pop up message and its driving me bonkers.
is there a way to remove or prevent this pop-up from showing up?   BTW I checked my machine's preferences and Adobe Flash Player is no longer listed.
BTW I have a iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011), Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Thanks for your input in advance.

RESOLVED - Feb 3 2015
I believe I have found the issue and resolution on that pesky Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller - thought i'd share in case this would help someone.
Since that f***ing Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller pops up each time I start up the machine, I thought I should check the "startup" items in my Mac machine. So I did my research and I did the following steps:
1. Click on Mac > System Preferences
2. Select Users and Groups
3. User and Groups window pops up - On the right pane you'll see "Password" and "Login Items" items - click on "Login Items".
On the Login items - I did see 'Adobe Flash Player Installer' - apparently this triggers the Uninstaller instead of Installer - but whatever - I have banned Flash Player from my Mac so I highlight this item on the Login Items list, and click on the minus sign button - it removed the Adobe Flash Player Installer from the Login Items list.    Then I restarted my machine - and voila - NO MORE PESKY Adobe Flash Player uninstaller pop-ups!!!! Hurrah!!!
Again this might help specifically for those who want to BAN Adobe Flash Player from their machines and are seeing the Adobe Flash Player Installer / Uninstaller every time they start up their machine. Apparently this is not a widespread problem but it still does happen. Good luck y'all and say goodbye to Adobe Flash Player (sorry Adobe, but I do still love your core products like Lightroom and Photoshop). Adobe should not have bought Macromedia (who originally developed Flash and Shockwave) years back but who would have known Flash would be such a headache (no thanks to cybercriminals)...

New Naming Convention for Flash Player Installers

My operating system is Win7 64-bit.
After updating the Flash Players to 10.1.53.64 (for Flash Pro CS5), I noticed the names for the plugin installers have changed from "Install Flash Player 10 ActiveX.exe" and "Install Flash Player 10 Plugin.exe" to:
"InstallAX.exe" and "InstallPlugin.exe".
Can these new installers also replace the old ones in Flash Catalyst CS5 (as in copy/paste then delete the ones with the old names)?

Since this is not really a standard Flash Player question / issue, perhaps you should ask in the appropriate Flash forum?

Flash player not using full capacity. (11.7/8)

I have been attempting to play an extremely resource-heavy flash game: Madness: Project Nexus. I have a gaming computer with a 670M GTX gpu and a i7 Quad Core 2.7 Ghz, with 12GB of DDR3 RAM. OS is Windows 7 Home Premium. Browser is Firefox Aurora 23.0 Alpha 2. Exact Flash Player version is 11.7.700.224.
However, flash player doesn't use enough of the processor or the RAM. At most, I've only experienced a 30% RAM and a 25% processor usage. How would I increase the parameters to allocate upwards of 8GB of RAM and 100% max processor usage for Adobe Flash?
It isn't the computer slowing me down; Flash player doesn't use enough of it. That's why I need help.
Nobody likes lag.

First thing to check: do you have the "kill-bit" for Flash Player set (e.g. by some malware): http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
If you have, don't fix it manually (unless you are very confident using the Registry Editor); just post back, and someone will post an easy way to remove that "kill-bit".

I cannot download Flash Player: why and how?

I can not down flash player. Why and How do I do it?

Hi, skyskyblue2,
I can't quite tell whether you can't find Flash Player to download or once you start downloading, problems ensue.
Can you give us a bit more details about the problem?
Also, here's a link the Flash Player help hub. It has a Download Flash Player and links to answers to common problems with Flash Player.
(I'm moving this messge to the Installing Flash Player community forum so experts can chime in.)
