Flash 10.2.159.1 won't run in IE8 on XP

New company, new company laptop with no admin priviledges. XP with IE8
Flash runs in Chrome 10 and Firefox 4 but not in IE8, though the plugin is enabled.
Flash hasn't worked in IE8 since I got the machine, but Flash has been updating fine with the last update 5/25 to v10.2.159.1.
Is there anything I can do to get Flash running or do I have to wait until IT makes another trip north to our office?
thanks

Hi, Just make sure that in Tools, Manage addons under "Show"(light text) that the ActiveX Control-Shockwave Flash Object is Installed and Enabled. That's the Control for the Flash Player in IE.
Also you can use IE and go to Tools, Internet Options and set to Medium for the Internet Zone.

Flash player is installed but won't run

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash player every way I know how, have searched online for fixes, but Flash player just won't work. It shows under add ons as Shockwave, it shows on the list of programs that can be uninstalled, but it does not show up in the "All Programs" list. I've tried uninstall using Windows to uninstall and reinstall, I've tried Revo Uninstaller and reinstalled, I tried CCleaner uninstall and reinstalled, I've tried uninstall from Adobe site and that didn't work either. I have tried about 8 times, but I can't get it to work. I went through all the info on Adobe Support site to no avail, and yes it is the latest version suffix Flashplayer 12 with 77 suffix. I checked the Active X script setting per Suppot docs, and that didn't help either. When I go to Rockler .com and try to load the catalogue it get the error that I need to install Flashplayer, but it looks to be installed, except for not showing on "All Programs" list. Any ideas are appreciated in advance. Am running Win 7, IE10, 64 bit.

I suggest you post in the Flash Player forum, as it is quite different from Adobe Reader, and you need a different group of experts.
Except, I know enough to say: Flash Player won't show up in he All Programs list, it isn't an app.

Still having problems with flash . It still won't run in IE8 but does in firefox.

please see my other thread. It says it is answered so had to start a new thread.

shockwave flash object 10.1.85.3 is loaded now. shockwave activex control 11.5.9.615 is enabled but not loaded. It appears in "all add-ons".

In Firefox both shockwave flash add-ons are shown.
                         and loads of others. Can't see IE8 add-in though.
I have AVG virus software.
It seems that many people have this problem, so is Adobe doing something about it?
Thanks

I'm a developer I just bought a new laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service pack 1. I downloaded Firefox 11.0 and downloaded and installed the Adobe Flash plugin! I’ve tried just about everything to get the plugin working but Firefox tells me I have an old version and has turned it off for security reasons. I have included the Flash registry settings and the Flash install log. Dell install a version of flash but it looks like the ActiveX not the Plugin Dll. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and Flash many times it still won’t work. Firefox is no good to me without this plugin. Any help would be appreciated.

Downloaded latest version Adobe Flash Player, Won't run.

D/L adobe flash player, windows 7, 32 bit, but computer won't run it. Checked add-ons, registry, etc. Any ideas???

Flash Player is a built-in component of Google Chrome, so there's nothing separate to download or manage. It might be an easier option.
http://www.google.com/chrome/
Otherwise, what browser are we talking about? Do you have any add-ons like AdBlock Pro or Ghostery that might interfere with how Flash operates?

Old Flash in new Firefox won't run, no warnings.

Opened my laptop using a current version of FF but with Flash 11.9. Viewed one of my pages with Flash content and.... nothing, just an empty div. No warnings that Flash was out of date, etc. So if I have this right FF won't run out of date Flash for security reasons. Fine. I've always seen warnings in these cases. But apparently if Flash is old enough FF just doesn't bother. Visitors have no idea what is happening. It just looks bad.
Is this correct? What is the recommended way of dealing with this from a developer's viewpoint?

We strongly recommend that users always run the latest version of Flash Player. Running an old version puts users at risk for malware infection. The vast majority of users are opted in to background update and are kept updated automatically, but there are users that for whatever reason have chosen to stick with an old, vulnerable version of Flash Player. While this is a bad idea, people are certainly free to do it. The upside is that the affected population that you're describing is pretty small.
The upgrade story will actually get better over time. The latest versions of both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer include Flash Player as a built-in component, distributed with the browser. Users are always updated with the latest version of Flash, and new updates are delivered inline via the Chrome updater or Windows Update respectively. Mozilla has spent a few years talking about how Flash needs to go away, while the other browser vendors have been investing in modernized plug-in interfaces and improvements in plug-in security, and unfortunately the prioritization is showing in the user experience. We're hopeful that Windows 10 will pick up the majority of the WinXP and Vista stragglers as well as many of the Win7 - Win8.1 users, which means that the whole Flash update problem for a very large population of people will be solved in IE once people upgrade.
It's hard to say what's at the root of the specific issue you're describing. With the major browsers on 4 or 6 week major update cycles (we publish monthly to ensure we can catch and address any new injections in the browsers that might come up in nightly/beta versions before they hit the general population, and to align with Microsoft patch tuesday), so you're talking something like 18 months worth of changes between the Firefox version you're running and the version of Flash that you're running. Everything at Mozilla gets done with bugs, and we'd definitely encourage you to file a bug on the user experience that you're seeing. They've been operating from a reactive place lately, and some of the changes that impact Flash definitely appear to be a little slapdash. It's ultimately good for them to hear from the developer community and not just me all the time, but feel free to add me to the CC: list in the bug.
We ultimately have no control over the longevity of a particular build of Flash -- there are way too many external variables -- and we're also investing a huge amount of effort in proactive security work (and it's been our top engineering priority for years). So each build usually includes large numbers of changes designed to either harden the player or address responsibly disclosed issues from researchers, the larger security and computer science communities and whatever the latest auditing and testing tools we can get our hands on are. The continuous stream of innovation and ingenuity in the offense space is impressive, but keeps us pretty busy. Browser-side changes can easily break older versions of the plug-in, and running an old version is just a bad idea.
So we've really streamlined the installation process to keep people on current versions, and Windows 10 will hopefully be a massive shift away from older, more vulnerable versions of Windows. The landscape is so different than it was even 4-5 years ago.. the days of running anything for years (or months) in your browser are long gone. The pace isn't going to slow down anytime soon, either.

Flash Drive Won't Run, Why??????

My question is not about Cloud, but your Flash Player as it's not on your list of products, I used this. I installed it to use my web cam to take photos and file them for furture us and to attach to CV,s. It's installed, my computer says it's installed,
but it won't run and it has locked out any other use of my web cam. Why????

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating system
Browser
Flash Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this can be found here:
Windows

Did you install both the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and plugin (for Firefox)? And both browsers show the same problem?
On Internet Explorer
is Shockwave Flash object enabled (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448)?
is ActiveX Filtering disabled (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968)?

video won't run, telling me to update flash player, click on update for mac won't update. do i need to load flash player and is it ok for mac?

Yes, it's fine for your Mac ...
Most sites such as YouTube require the Flash plugin.
Flash isn't a player per se, but a plugin.
Sometimes uninstalling the current plugin then reinstalling new can help.

Make sure and uninstall the old plugin first then restart your Mac.
If you use Safari to view videos, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.

Firefox won't run BBC iPlayer when using Netbook with XP and recommended Flash Player.

On my Netbook running XP and a broadband connection, Firefox won't run BBC iPlayer even though it has had the Flash Player upgraded as recommended. The player stalls and won't stream or start a menu for streaming the "live" content from the Radio Station.
The problem doesn't exist when using Google Chrome as an alternative to Firefox. So this is obviously a Firefox incompatibility problem with Flash Player

That's what mine said too when I went direct to their checker.
But I use the Speed Test app and that shows a different IP address, one which links to Orange in the UK.
At the moment it's giving me 31.81.44.53, but that Ip2location site gives me 50.19.92.191. Google tells me I am on 50.16.198.92.
I am confused and frustrated.
I did several full restores yesterday, several times when the phone restarted it gave US as the defualt locaiton at startup, but this morning when I just did a settings wipe, it gave me the UK, and I thought that had fixed it. I didn't.
Very odd.
Gosh I thought I solved it then, one of the sites told me my app Onavo was creating a proxy. Deleting the app didn't help - may have to delete the profile which may be buried elsewhere on the phone. Oh, it's in the General tab under profiles - if you have a profile at all.
Cannot confirm if this works yet as I only have 2G at home but if you have Onavo, I think it's creating a proxy server connection (directing you to the USA). Delete the app, delete the profile and please let me know if it works for you!
Can't be more than 99% certain, but removing my Onavo profile has now given me a UK IP. Should work!

Ever since I installed MAVERICK, nothing now works, Flash Player won't run, printer works but scanner will not and the computer runs so slow. Any help anywhere?

wqn02h, first thing I would do is use Disk utility to repair permissions. Once this is done. Make sure you have the latest versions of the software you use. Also, check the manufacter of your printer/scanner for updated software. If they don't have updated software there are 3rd party alternatives that will work.

Itunes installer won't run in Windows 7

I am trying to install the latest version of itunes on my new laptop and the installer won't run. It is a samsung sereis 7 notebook running Windows 7.
I have downloaded itunes multiple times and tried running as administrator. I do not get any error, and occasionally a progress bar will flash up on screen for a couple of seconds but then nothing happens. Other times I don't even get the progress bar, just nothing happens when I try to open the installer.
Would appreciate any help with this problem. Its driving me crazy not being able to add new music to my ipod!

Photo Album Won't Run From Internet

CS4 - I posted earlier that my photo albums won't run from the internet but runs from my computer and from a flash drive. I have rebuilt it probably 10 times. The URL is http://www.kandjreynoldsconstruction.com/gallery/index.html. Albums that I've built before are still running. Any Help would be great. Donna

Be sure that all the necessary supporting elements—javascripts, css, and images—have been uploaded to the server as well, using the same folder structure as the local version of your photo album. (Based on a look at the index page's source code, it seems that elements may be missing.)

11.7.700.169 exe won't run

I'm trying to install 11.7.700.169 on 64-bit Windows 7. I've tried via Chrome, IE and Firefox. Each time I download and open the exe file, but when I click "run" nothing happens. I know in Chrome there is that Technote about it already being part of the browser and that it just needs to be enabled.... when I go to enable the plug in, it says I need to download a critical security update. When I follow the link to download, I have the same problem where the file won't run. It's not that I'm not waiting long enough because I've waited a long time to see if it will start to run and it just doesn't! Any thoughts?

Download the offline installers for IE and Firefox from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header (under the heading Progress bar hangs...).
I don't know about Chrome, as I don't use that browser.
