Flash 10 won't install on IE but will on FireFox

This is the oddest thing. I can get Flash 10 to install in FireFox, but not with IE. When I download it, and try to install outside of a browser, I get a 'failed to register' message. It seems I cannot get anything on IE past Flash 7 to install. Running IE 8. System is Asus motherboard, Athlon 64x2 dual core 2.81 GHz, 3 gigs RAM, nVidia GeForce GTX 9800-plus card with XP Profession OS.
Any suggestions?

Thank you very much, your suggestion led me to the solution.  There were TWO NPSWF32.dll files, one in a folder ...\Macromed\Flash and one in ....\Macromedia\Flash.  Evidently, no matter how often I downloaded the new version, the old version was used instead.  I deleted the old directory with the old NPSWF32.dll file and now everything works perfectly.  When I check the version I get the 10 version as desired.  Thanks again--evidently just clicking on Update is not enough, if there is an old file lurking.

  • Flash player won't install for adminstrator, but will for child accounts

    I use the Family Safety on our computer.  We have accounts for our child, self (as administrator), and guests.  Flash player shows as installed and works on the child and guest accounts.  But, it does not appear as installed on my administrator account.  We use McAfee for protection, but that doesn't seem to be the problem.  I have tried installing and uninstalling several times. I have tried installing using internet explorer and firefox.  We have windows 7.  I don't know what to do.  It used to be installed.

    Administrator account: there is no flash player listed in the Manage Add-ons list.  Adobe Shockwave Flash Object is enabled.  When I choose to look at all add ons, ActiveX shows up and is also enabled.
    Standard Account: there is no flash player listed in the manage add-ons list.  Adobe shockwave flash object and activeX are both enabled.
    I looked in the "all add ons list" for both accounts, and there is not flash player plug in.  But flash player works in the standard account.  Am I missing a plugin?
    Just to try it I enabled a google toolbar.  Flash player still doesn't work.
    Thank you.

  • Latest version of Flash Player won't install on Wind. 7 w/ firefox

    have downloaded new version of adobe flash player but it will not install. I get a box that says "only a single instance of this application can run" What does this mean/what do I do about it?
    (I've removed the old flash player)
    I am using a HP desktop w/ Windows 7 64-bit.

    You seem to have Shockwave Flash 11.1 r102 installed, according to the plugins scan done on the browser that used to post in this forum.

  • IWeb audio won't play in Safari, but will in firefox

    I made a website in iWeb '09 but when i visit the site in safari 4 a quicktime logo shows up where the audio (song) should be and doesn't play. But in firefox it works fine, anyone know what's up?

    I had a similar problem, I'll tell you how I solved it.  Understand that I am a newbie at video editing and Premiere Pro.  I shot videos on a DSLR (.mov) and then transferred them to my computer.  I then imported them into Premiere CS6.  The videos played fine, and the sound bars indicated that audio was playing, but there was no sound.  The clips I imported played fine in Windows Media Player.  I did everything suggested on the forums, but to no avail.  Then I thought of something no one else had suggested, and it worked!
    I ordered my Rain Stratus computer already set up with Premiere CS6 installed.  When I opened a new project, it by default chose Black Magic Design presets, since that is the video card I have.  Being a newbie, I just went with that.  But since the video I was importing was not captured by my Black Magic video card, it was the wrong choice.  It took awhile to figure out, but I finally realized I needed to choose Digital SLR as the sequence preset when I created a new project.  Then the audio worked!
    One more thing I had to do, though, before it worked: in PremierePro, go to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware.  I had to change the hardware from Black Magic Audio to Premiere Pro WDM Sound, click ASIO settings, choose my speakers, and then check the box marked "device 32-bit playback" (even thought I have a 64-bit computer.)
    I hope that helps someone else from going through the same frustration.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Flash player won't install on safari 7.0.3 any hints?

    flash player won't install on safari 7.0.3 .  I can download but the install stops at 50%.  I have allowed plug ins.  
    any hints?

    jabenn, I believe this to be caused by an issue with the Flash Player Install Manager, which Adobe is aware of.
    As a first step, you could try removing it from the folder Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash Player. If you see a folder in that location entitled "Flash Player Install Manager", you need to trash it (you will need to enter and Admin password to authorise that step). This is recommended by Adobe. Now try again.
    If that still fails, you can either follow the full Uninstall / Re-install process set out here: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1267823  ... or use my three-step workaround to save time, hassle and restarting. This starts at the scenario described in your initial post (i.e. a stalled installation):
    Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
    Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
    Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package within the Install Manager app and run the installation from Finder
    Hope this helps. Enjoy.
    --- Those steps in detail:
    1. Force quit Adobe Flash Player Install Manager
    Press these three keys together: Cmd + Option (or Alt) + esc
    Select Adobe Flash Player Install Manager in the popup window titled "Force Quit Applications"
    Hit return or click the button labelled "Force Quit"
    2. Locate and mount the Flash Player Installer disk image with Disk Utility
    Open Disk Utility (in Applications/Utilities folder or find it with Spotlight)
    On the left hand side, your attached drives and mounted volumes are listed above a horizontal line. Below that line you should see one or more disk images (named e.g. something.dmg). These are recently accessed disk images - including one containing the adobe updater.
    At or near the bottom of that list you should see something called decryptedFile.dmg
    Under that you might see a (greyed out) volume image called Flash Player
    Double click decryptedFile.dmg (or the Flash Player volume if you can see it - it makes no difference).
    This should mount a volume titled "Flash Player" and automatically open a finder window showing the contents.
    The volume "Flash Player" will show up in your Finder sidebar and on your desktop (unless you've chosen not to show External Disks in Finder preferences)
    3. Locate the Adobe Flash Player installer package and run the installation from Finder
    You should by now have a Finder window open showing the contents of the volume "Flash Player". If not, open a new Finder window and click on Flash Player in the sidebar. The sole contents are an app called Install Adobe Flash Player.
    Right click the item "Install Adobe Flash Player" and select "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu that appears.
    This opens a new window showing a folder called "Contents". Open it by double clicking to reveal the contents including a folder called "Resources".
    Locate and open the folder "Resources" and look for a file called Adobe Flash Player ("Adobe Flash Player.pkg")
    This is the Installer Package for the update. Double Click it.
    Don't be put off by the words "Welcome to the Adobe Flash Player Installer" - this is not the Adobe Flash Install Manager (the one that failed you earlier) this is Apple's "Installer" app.
    Follow the steps to the end then eject the volume Flash Player in the normal way (e.g. Finder sidebar)
    Open the Flash Player control panel to check the current version has now been updated.
    Don't be put off by "PPAPI Plug-in is not installed" - you can ignore it.
    Some steps may go differently if you are running a different version of Mac OS X ( I use 10.6.8 and wrote my guide accordingly).

    Download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header and save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

    If you are on a 64-bit system, use the 64-bit installer(s); you will then also be able to use Flash under the 64-bit version of Firefox: Waterfox.

    2. Type "Services" in the search field.
    3. Open SERVICES
    4. At the bottom, click "Extended View"

  • Flash player won't install on windows 8 using firefox

    Hi
    I had problems with my flash player on windows 8, it kept crashing before any of the videos were loaded and freezing my computer temporarily in the process.
    I was advised to uninstall and reinstall flash player, so i uninstalled it and now cannot reinstall it (i can download the installation thing from the website but it won't open).
    What should I do to correct this? And please bare with me, I am useless with computers.
    Thanks
