Downloaded Microsoft Security Essentials and Flash Player Quit Working

Hi, i am running Win 7 (64bit), and recently got MSE as my only antivirus. Once i downloaded it, flash player files in youtube and other sites (even pictures you can click and zoom on) refuse to load and just lock the browser. This is happening in IE and FireFox. I am running flash player 10.3.181.22. I do not get an error message, just a frozen browser. I have restarted browser, computer, and router and still am getting the issue. Any help on this issue would be great!

Hi, in addition to what Pat has suggested, what Anti-Virus program(s) did you have prior to MSE? Did you have a clean Uninstall of those? If you only removed them from the Programs & Features, some of them don't Uninstall all from the various files. Most Anti-Virus programs now have Removal Tools to use in addition.
You might try power cycling the Router and see if that helps.
Also check and make sure the Flash Player Shockwave Flash Object is Enabled in your IE manage addons. Also the Shockwave Flash plugin for FF plugins.

Adobe Flash Player Quit Working

I am running Windows Pro 7 (64-bit) and MSIE 9.
For some unknown reason, my flash player quit working. No big deal, as I went to Adobe's download page and first obtained their uninstall executable. I used it to completely rid my machine of it's original Adobe Flash Player.
Next, I went to download the latest version (and have done so probably 7 or 8 times now). I have tried two methods.
One, installing it onsite (the app reaches 7% and completely stops).
Secondly, I download the installer to my machine and double-click it. Same thing, the installer stops at 7% and it's done.
I have researched this problem since yesterday, trying to solve it, to no avail. I have turned off my anti-virus, my anti-malware, I've turned off just about everything except my computer but nother works. I have switched between ActiveX filtering and back again, yet the same results.
I cannot get past the 7% download of Flash Player from the site.
Can you recommend a third party exe that may work without having to download from Adobe's exe?
Thank you.

Mike, again, thanks for the assist.
Now, as a result, on the below page....
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
I can now see the Flash 'test graphic' on that page (I couldn't before).
However, regardless of which site I go to that host FLV's or flash videos, including YouTube, they won't play. What does tkae place, is the timer on the bottom of the video appears, as does the 'loading spiral' but the video never materializes.
Do you know if this has something to do with ActiveX now being turned off or is there something I may be missing here?
Thank you.

I downloaded the latest version of flash player, not working?

I just got my computer back from being fixed and I'm redownloading everything I need.
I have a Mac OS X Version 10.7.5 and i downloaded the latest version of flash player for it. It appears to be installed because there's a window opens up saying "Thank you, enjoy flash player." or something like that after I have downloaded the flash player.
I've tried several times and I STILL can't watch videos or do things that require flash player.
I went to my system preferences, clicked on Flash Player and went to the advanced bar, and it says "Plug-in version 11.9.900.117 is installed."
However, when i go to this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
And I click the "Check Now" button to see if flash player has been installed onto my computer, it says:
"Sorry, Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled.
Please go to step 2."
And so I did and downloaded it AGAIN. I only saw the same thing after i reloaded the page and tried again.
I do not have an anti-virus program, so it can't be that.
Is the flash player enabled?
How do I check if it's enabled/enable it?

It's usually in your browser's Tools section.

Flash Player quit working

I use a PPC iMac with system 10.5.8. Recently Flash quit working and I am having trouble finding the proper download for a non-Intel Mac.
AS a result, most videos will not play. Any suggestions?

Well, I worked my way down through different versions. I completely eliminated each non installible system as I went.
Finally,
Flash Player 10.1.85.3 and 9.0.283.0
was compatible with my system.
It installed successfully.
I quit and reopened Safari. Tried to look at a video off a yahoo page.
It asked me to install Flash.
I'm at a loss.

Flash player quits working in IE9

I just got a new computer. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and IE9. Here's what's happening: flash will be doing fine but then -- unexpectedly -- I'll go to a website and a "circle with an exclamation point" is shown where flash animation should be taking place. Then, my browser will say I need to install Flash to see the animations (like going to Youtube.) I've found that when this happens, I just have to close IE9 and open it again and the problem is resolved. It's very strange. It doesn't seem like it's uninstalling since it works when I re-open IE9... Anyone offer any help?

Hi Chris,
Thanks for writing me back. Yes, I see the spinning 'F' now. The player USUALLY works, but, about 5 times over the past 2 weeks it has just quit working. And yes, until I close the IE window completely and restart it, it will not work. What's funny is, at that point, IE9 doesn't think it's installed at all. But, when I re-open IE after closing it, everything is fine. I'm running Norton Internet Security but don't think permissions are an issue.
Since it happens so infrequently, I'd have to be running the video capture all the time to catch it. Maybe, the next time it happens, can you suggest a course of action? Maybe look in preferences at that time?
Thanks.

Shockwave and Flash Player installed works fine but it says damaged in the dependency tab.

I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. When I go to
downloaded programs in windows where your active x programs are.
The icons on the leftt of shockwave player are white. I right click
on the shockwave player and click on properties and in the
dependency tab has nothing in the file name. Over to the right size
bites says damaged. On the download programs itself where the
shockwave player is the status says installed and the bite size
says 4 KB it did not it did not say damage only in the dependency
tab. My shockwave programs and games work fine. On the dependency
it has this message,This page lists the 1 file (s) amd 0 java
packages upon which shockwave active x controls depends on. I tried
uninstalling and reinstalling about 5 times and the samething came
up. If it has to run on the main package java the samething is
there too. There too it is installed and the bites are okay the
only place it says damage is in the dependency tab. I unstalled
that and reinstalled it the same number of times and the samething
appeared. Flash player the same way. How do I fix this problem? In
dowloaded programs I also have another shockwave active x control
with the same version and 2 java of the same version. Also after I
uninstall shockwave player I go to manage add ons and delete the
one that is still there and in the downloaded programs it has
unknown with a bunch of letters. There is no way to delete that
when you right click it you only see properties.

Flash player quit working - iTunes 7 to blame?

I am having trouble watching any sites that have flash content. I've uninstalled and reinstalled flash player using the adobe programs, but I can't get the player to work. It was working fine before, and the only thing that has changed is that I installed iTunes 7. Does anybody have any idea how to fix this? Your feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2.16 Ghz, 2.0 GB RAM, 7200rpm 100GB HD.

I did what you suggested and I got flash to work... on Firefox!! Before checking the Quicktime preferences, I had already downloaded the latest version of Flash for Intel Macs from Adobe and restarted Safari but it did not help. Then, after checking the Quicktime preferences, I got Flash to work on Firefox but I have no clue why it won't work on Safari. I've looked everywhere it would be obvious, and everywhere that has been suggested here but it seems like I'm missing something. Anybody else having this problem with Safari and Flash? I'm wondering why Firefox can show Flash content now but Safari is still unable too. Please advice.
Thanks.

3 days ago Flash Player quit working in IE 64-bit, still works in Firefox ???

Hello........
As of approximately June 16th or so, I've not been able to see most videos in IE 9 64-bit.
I have no problems with videos / Flash Player in Firefox.
On the New York Times webpage, for example, there is a video area that now says
However, I DO have Flash Player installed! I've even uninstalled it and reinstalled it.
I've got the latest version of Flash Player.
I've also done a System Restore, thinking that might help.....but it had no impact on this issue.
Any thoughts?
thanks much -
Richard

Here is solution I used for IE10, Window 7 64 bit:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie10-windows_7/ie10-says-adobe-flash-player-is nt-installed/d3c1eda6-cabc-4ca5-b4d9-dcba0c3aaad5
1. Internet Explorer> Tools (or Alt + t)>Internet Options>Programs>Manage add-ons (Show: All add-ons) verify that the Shockwave Flash Objects are enabled.
2. From Safety on the IE Command Bar (you may have to right-click the IE menu or IE toolbar and enable the Command Bar) uncheck ActiveX Filtering.
If that helps, it would be safer to re-enable ActiveX Filtering and make an exception for the affected sites. See this article:

Flash and Flash Player stopped working

My wife was working on the dotphoto.com website that used Flash. She did something that made it so that when we try to play a Show (dotphoto/s name for a slideshow) we just get a black screen. She did this on her MAC desktop machine (G5 iMac with OS 105.8). I tried to play the Show on my MAc Book Pro (Intel) with OS 10.5.8 and I now have the same problem on my machine.
The desktop machine only has Flash Player. The labtop has Flash CS3 Pro. I also realized that now when i download a .flv file from youtube to my laptop, it no longer will play in Flash, although i can play it in Quicktime with Perian plugin. I have downloaded Flash Player CS5 and I still can't play the .flv files, that used to play fine.
Any idea what could have gone wrong. Is there a preference or cache file that I could delete to see if it resets the software. Is there a way that I can download a clean version of Flash 9.0 and load it over the one that is already installed in order to reset it?
Help!
Thanks,
PianomanDave

I have the very same problem. Ever since upgrading to 24.0 I can no longer view YouTube videos on Firefox. I have no trouble with other browsers (IE and Chrome) and I can view the Flash home page. I've tried the suggestions and they do not work. Please fix!!

IE9 and Flash Player NOT Working

Since upgrading to IE 9 I can no longer view any FLASH in webpages. The Flash Player occasionally flickers on the screen offering to ALLOW or DENY (but disappears before you can click). IF I am lucky enuf to click on the FULL SCREEN option, I can view the video in full screen mode... unable to view anything in the browser. I am finding complaints all over your discussion boards and all over the Internet when I GOOGLE for a fix. Each FIX seems to be totally personalized. I see thread after thread telling the party to initiate their own thread.
HELP!!!
This totally sucks... it seems to be UNIVERSAL. Why isn't it being addressed across the board... vs one at a time-itis? I have the most recent Flash Player downloaded (tonight).

Using Windows Home Premium and IE9
Some flash videos on websites work and some don't.
For example, on this site many flash videos work but several don't ... http://www.moosepeterson.com/blog/. Doesn't really make sense that some do and some don't! However, all flash videos work on this site using Chrome and on my old XP system using Internet Explorer. So, the problem has to be with IE9.

Flash player quit working after update

I received a message that I needed to update my flash player. I followed the directions to download and install the update. Now my flash player doesn't work at all. How can I fix it?

Script crashes IDE and Flash Player but works in browsers

I'm building a game program and I've got a script that loads
an external swf, and then duplicates the clip for the user to play.
It worked until a few days ago when I reinstalled my OS (Mac OS
10.4.11) to fix an unrelated problem. The strange thing is that I
had reinstalled the browser plugin to fix a related problem. Now
the code works in the browser, but crashes the IDE and the Flash
Player every time. I called Adobe Support but they were no help
since it's "project related." I've reinstalled CS3 and Flash
itself, but nothing helps.
Here's the code that crashes:
// INITIALIZE LOADER AND ADD TO STAGE
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader;
addChild (myLoader);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE,
isLoaded);
// DUPLICATE CLIP WHEN LOADED
function isLoaded (event:Event):void {
event.target.content.width = 100;
event.target.content.height= 200;
// THIS IS THE LINE THAT CRASHES
var copyClass:Class =
Object(event.target.content).constructor;
var newThing:DisplayObject = new (copyClass);
addChild (newThing);
newThing.x +=50;
myLoader.load (new
URLRequest('coloring/coloring1.swf'));

I have downloaded latest firefox browser and flash player. But when playing video in youtube, I could only hear sound not the video. Upon checking the plugins, the flash player is installed.........pls help me to solve this problem

couldn't do anything to the video toolbar, only black screen

This is the most reported problem this week. Here's an entire thread of solutions that may or may not work:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/776670
Looking through the thread, it seems like several different problems all manifesting themselves in the same way. Some people had to disable hardware acceleration in Flash, others had to delete their profile, and others yet just had to clear their cache... makes no sense.
