Downloaded Flash Player many times, still prompted to download

Every time I try to watch a video, I get a prompt to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (11.7-something). I have done this repeatedly over the past several days but still get the prompt. I already have Chrome downloaded on my computer. I tried uninstalling my Flash version, rebooting my computer and this is just getting repetitious because nothing works. I'm wasting way too much of my time just trying to get this to work. What's going on?
How can I get my computer to hold the update I've taken the time to run.
Do I have to use Chrome now, not Internet Explorer, every time I want to watch a video? I do not like to use Chrome.

Thanks for your reply. My computer says the Flash Player 11.7... is installed, so why can't I view videos when I am in Internet Explorer? How do I find out which Windows (7 or 8) I have?

Hi, Sorry to hear about the challenges that you face. Adobe Flash Player is directly integrated with Google Chrome and is enabled by default. Window 8 + Internet Explorer 10 also comes with integrated Flash Player. So you need not do any installation or updates for Google Chrome or Window 8 +IE 10 combo. But for other OS versions and browsers, you need to update (automatically or manually based on your installation setup) Flash Player. If you are facing installation issues, please refer to the following pages:http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-faq.htmlhttp://helpx.adobe.com/flash-p layer/kb/installation-problems-flash-pla yer-windows.htmlhttp://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-pla yer-mac.html Hope the above helps. With regards,Prabhu

I have downloaded flash player many time will not complete download.

I have tried to download many, many, times to download the latest version of your flash player!!! I have called geek squad to help me fix the problem. It still has not been resolved. I have visited you trouble shooting sites and followed all steps explained and still will not complete download. I have deleted all flash on my computer and tried to down load and it starts to go through the steps and completes the download but does not complete instillation. When I try to play a game it tells me that I have to download the new version. I am getting very frustrated!!!! When I look in my programs the icon is not complete, and when I uninstall the program it says that there was an error in the installation and download not complete. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

My problem is a little different.
Yesterday, I received a notice to download an update to flash player. I did so, but it was just as Microsoft Word started up. The installation took forever and eventually I received a message to the effect the installation was incomplete.
I also discovered a new user account had been created on my computer. Its name is 'bimvhcba'. Inside the account is a Windows-free zone -- basically a black screen. I deleted the account through control panel and rebooted. I do not seem to be able to rid my computer of this account.
My computer is a laptop running Windows Vista with Chrome as the default browser. Through this site, I checked to see what version of Flash Player was running on my computer. It is the most recent one.
I have run comprehensive virusscans and spyware scans. No malware turns up.
I'm baffled. Any suggestions you have would be welcome.

I AM UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD FLASH PLAYER 10.3. A TECH DOWNLOADED FLASH PLAYER 10 PLUG IN LAST WEEK.

DO I NEED BOTH? WHEN I TRIED TO WATCH A VIDEO ON MY E-MAIL I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO DOWNLOAD FLASH PLAYER. WHEN I TRY TO DOWNLOAD IT NOTHING HAPPENS. I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA AND I AM USING IE9 WHICH THE TECH ALSO DOWNLOADED FOR ME. SINCE MY CALL I GET A BOX WITH A SCRIPT ERROR ON NEARLY EVERY PAGE.

Hi, I am back and can see clearly. I have not experienced the error box while moving the pointer. I do have some examples for your review. I will start with what happens when I start a session. I click on IE and get the error box. I click on red "X". Comcast.net is my home page and the Tab is trying to take me there. The symbol showing that it is running is turning but will not connect. Next I click on the "X" on the address bar. This stops the TAB. Now I click on the Refresh and I get my home page without any error box.
Examples
1. The animalrescuesite.com
From e-mail. I am helping to provide food for animals and it doesn't cost me. If you are interested I encourage you to go to the site and sign up. You will get an email each day and it takes less than thirty seconds to do. When I open there is no error box. When I click on "click here" I get the error box. To close I click on the red "X". I then click on purple box "click here to give". No more error boxes backing out of the site.
From address bar there is no error box on page 2.
2. bestwestern.com
From e-mail. Same as example #1. no error box on page 1. When I click on "book now" I get error box. I click on red "X" and then no more error boxes while in the site. I clicked on each tab. Also no error boxes while backing out of site.
From address bar there is no error box on page 2.
3. Any e-mail with video link.
When I click on the link I get the error box. After I click on the red "X" the video starts.
I hope this helps. Also I wanted to get your take on me uninstalling the fire fox and when. I am ready to compose my e-mail to Adobe. Do you want to see it before I send it. You might offer an insight that I miss.

Install Flash Play by default will open Flash Player auto update, if there is a new version Flash player on the web, your browser will prompt to download the latest version flash player. so you receive download flash player message.
if you want to disable Adobe Flash player auto update, please follow this guide.

I downloaded Flash Player and it still says I need to download!

I and using a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and I recently updated Safari to version 5 and ever since my Flash Player hasn't been working. When I try to watch videos, it says I need to download Flash Player, so I go through the whole download process and when I try to watch a video, it still says I need to download Flash Player. When I troubleshoot my flash player it says "content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player" but I have the newest version. My Flash PLayer worked fine until I updated Safari, why is this happening?

Hi, It would be nice if the websites would use the word "Install" instead of download; big difference:-) Flash Player works in the browser, so the websites are looking for the Flash Player control, which is the Shockwave Flash which should be in your Safari browser. If you have Quicktime and know where the plugins are located, look for it there. It must be there and Enabled.
If not, then my guess is that the update to the newer version of Safari either caused a glitch or disabled it.
Using Safari, go here to test, then let me know if you can see the animation of the Flash logo(spins) and what version of Flash Player is displayed. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Have downloade Flash Player 11 several times but doesn't seem to function. I've tried to open several applications which requireFlash player and they all say to download it. Whats happenning? I'm using Windows 7.

Its an issue with IE. Try a different browser like chrome or firefox, it should work.
Run the Flash Player uninstaller as applicable for your machine(i.e. 32 bit or 64 bit) and remove flash player
Restart the machine.
Download and Re-install Flash Player.
Restart the browser and check.
Enjoy!

Downloaded Flash Player several times and still doesn't work

A week or so ago I got a virus on my computer. I used Malware Bytes to remove it, and I also have
AVG. I run both of these daily, along with the updates, so maybe they're affecting my ability to use Flash. Ever since the virus, my computer keeps telling me I don't have Flash and that I need to download it. I've downloaded it many times now, but it still appears that I don't have it. I check in Internet Explorer Tools and Addons, and it doesn't even seem to show up in there. I'm using Windows 7. I even tried un-installing and re-installing. If I use Firefox, Flash works, but I prefer to use IE. Any help?
Thanks!

Hi, Sorry for the delay. Downloading that zipfile to your Desktop is only needed if you found that the Kill-bit was set. Following is part of the first message at the Kill-bit site that Pat put up.
open the registry editor: Start | Run | type regedit.exe
navigate to this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}
if that key does not exist, then the "kill-bit" for Flash Player is not set
if it contains a DWORD entry with the name Compatibility Flags that has any value other than 0x00000000, then the "kill-bit" for Flash Player may be set
Following these instructions you are only "looking", you're not to do anything or change anything yet. You are just looking to see if that Registry Key is there. Like the Step 3 shows, if that Key is not there, then the Kill-bit is not set and you can just close that and you are done.
Do you think you can do that?All you are really doing by clicking on Start, then Run and entering "regedit.exe" in that space that opens up after you click on Run is regedit.exe (don't enter any quotation marks though) All this does is opens the Registry so you can look for that Key.
If that key is there, then let me know. The problem is that if that Kill-bit is set, then no matter what you do, you can't Install that Shockwave Flash Object, ActiveX Control for Flash Player.
Hope this helps explain it.
Thanks,
eidnolb

I've tried to download flash player several times onto my iMac, but still can't run any videos.

I have tried downloading and installing Flash Player on my iMac several times. It goes all the way through the finish screen, but I still can't view videos. I still get a flyout that says I need Flash Player. I cannot find Flah Player anywhere on my iMac. I have looked under Applications, Devices, Documents, and even Utilities. Nothing. I do find the installer program, but it only wants to uninstall a Flash Player program that doesn't exist. Any ideas as to what is going on?

You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
(If you are running Mavericks: After years of fighting malware and exploits facilitated through Adobe's Flash Player, the company is taking advantage of Apple's new App Sandbox feature to restrict malicious code from running outside of Safari in OS X Mavericks.)
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44: Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf

Downloaded Flash Player update but still doesn't work!

Hi I have downloaded several times the new update for Flash Player and every time I go on to watch iPlayer it still asks to download the software. I have done the instructions about 6 times now and its really annoying! Its a Mac laptop - can anyone help???

Yes I downloaded it and installed it. I have also uninstalled Flash Player and reinstalled it and yet it still doesn't recognise it.

Downloaded Flash Player yet it still will not work.

I have downloaded and installed the latest flash player onto my brand new macbook air, yet it still will not allow me to use flash player. When i go to say watch a video on youtube it says that I do not have the latest version of flash player and will not allow me to watch videos because of this. I have tried all the trouble shooting pages and I still do not understand and cannot get it to work. Please please help, this is infuriating.

Who's "they?" Where have you been getting Flash from? Only get it from these two:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
Dumb question maybe, but downloading is not the same as installing. Have you installed it after downloading? You need to double-click the dmg.

I have installed Flash Player four times. Still no response.

I have windows 7 and internet explorer 10. After downloading Flash Player successfully it still does not respond to E-mails with Flash player actions needed?????? Bob Erickson
