Flash and Reader plug-in installers don't work

I am running Firefox 23.0.1 on Vista Home Premium 32.
I have had several failed "automatic" updates for the Flash Player plug-in so tried to install manually. Again after failed attempts I have tried a number of things:
run as administrator
run in safe mode
both of the above
In all cases, a process appears in the Task Manager but then just sits there with 0% CPU activity. I am able to delete the process.
After looking around various Adobe pages, I came across the .msi version of the Flash Player plug-in installer (install_flash_player_11_plugin.msi) - this seems to have worked fine. I haven't tried it for the Reader.
Any clues why there is an issue here?

Moving this discussion to the Installing Flash Player forum.
NeilinEastbury I would encourage you to start a separate discussion regarding your Adobe Reader concerns in the Adobe Reader forum - http://forums.adobe.com/community/adobe_reader_forums.

  • I just updated to Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on my Mac 10.6.8 and now the video files don't work.  How do I uninstall the update and return to the previous version?

    I just updated to Adobe Reader 11.0.07 on my Mac OS version 10.6.8 and now the video files don't work.  How do I uninstall the update and return to the previous version?

    I received a notice from Chris Campbell at Adobe that stated : "....we are aware that Macs created between 2006 and 2008 are currently running into problems using the latest release of Flash Player (version 13)."  My question is will the update of Adobe Reader 11.0.07 cause this problem with Flash Player 13 on my Mac?  Sometimes when I try to view streaming video I get sound but no video.

  • Safari - Flash and Silverlight Plug-ins NOT working

    Safari does not seem to recognize my Flash and Silverlight Plug-ins so that I can watch and stream videos. I might have messed it up, but I can not fix it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    There's no Auval or RA or Garritan Personal Orchestra in the Audio Units Manager in Logic Pro. Though Stylus RMX that I also use and Kontakt Player 2 are there and successfully validated. The RA and Kontakt Player component are exactly in the place you said they would be.
    I've since discovered that RA does not in fact work in Logic Express. As for whether it's loading up in Rosetta or PPC version - how do I tell that?
    I really appreciate your help but I'm still stuck at square 1. Any more suggestions?!!

  • HT4528 I pulled my iPhone out of the docking station/speakers and now the ring tones don't work.  Anyone know a fix for this?

    Does anyone know if there is a fix for iPhone 4S when you pull it out of the docking station and now the ring tones don't work -- it only vibrates.

    Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?
    Do other sounds work?
    Have you checked to see if the dock connector or headphone jack have debris in them?

  • Pause, back, and fwd (F6-8) keys don't work with iTunes. [Windows 7 64-bit]

    All my other F# keys work (I can adjust the screen brightness, adjust the volume...etc) but my Pause (F8), Back (F7) and Fwd (F9) keys don't work with iTunes. Though they DO work with Windows Media Player.
    How can I get them to work with iTunes?
    I'm using Windows 7 64-bit on a macbook pro.

    Same problem here.
    I'm using Macbook late '09 + Windows 7 64-bit + iTunes 10.0.1.22 for Windows,

  • Arrows and page up/down keys don't work (also not in previous version)

    Arrow and page up/down keys don't work. Problem started a fe2w months ago; upgraded to Beta but it made no difference. Sorry to report that they work fine in Internet Explorer but i DO NOT want to switch. Thanks!

    IU'm curious if this is a 'getting used to Macs' issue;
    I'm on my first Mac [and OS X] as well, and to
    me tthese friggin keys "don't work" either.
    That is, they do not do anything useful, like
    go to the start or end of a text field. The
    keys do function, though. Home goes to the start
    of a document, and end goes to the end. Seems
    silly to me; how often do you go to the start
    or end of a document, versus the start or end
    of a line? Two points off your usability rating,
    Apple
    Anyways, if this [the keys doing different things
    under Mac] is the issue, see if Apple-Left Arrow
    and Apple-Right Arrow do what you're expecting
    Home and End to do.

  • You tube is fine but Video from other sites will not play in any browser all of a sudden. I have latest version of firefox (16.something) flash and all plug in

    I cannot play videos from many sites. Everything was fine up until a few days aago. You tube works fine but others will not. I have firefox 16.something and latest versions of flash. All plug ins are there and enabled. Have read through many support threads and nothing is working. This happens on chrome and ie as well.

    You can check for problems caused by recent Flash updates and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • Adobe Flash and Reader Confusion

    Greetings, should Adobe Flash Player and Reader (used in Safari and Preview) be updated manually or are these app's updated via Safari updates from Apple? The Player and Reader applications are not installed but I view some Flash clips via Safari. I use Preview as a PDF viewer, but do these require Adobe security/patch updates be manually applied or are these updated via Snow Leopords' Software Update link? Thank you and regards.

    Adobe are being very slow to update their applications, including Flash Player, for Lion:

  • Flash and Reader

    I have Windows XP
    1. My programs (in the 'add/remove programs' area of the computer) show that I have Adobe Flash 10 ActiveX.  But the size of program is blank. Could it be that I have it downloaded and not properly installed. Also is Adobe Flash 10 Active X the latest version?
    2. That same area of programs shows that I have installed Adobe Reader 7.1.10 as well, with size shown as 67.06MB. Not sure what Reader does as opposed to Flash and it is necessary to have both?
    Background information: My computer has been struggling lately (whirring sounds when I access anything) so I am also trying to elimate conflicting programs to see if that solves or alleviates the matter. Hence my concern with uninstalled programs or potentially conflicting programs as above?
    Help! Thanks!

    Adobe Flash Player is a browser add-on to view Flash content (such as Youtube) on the Internet.  It is not a standalone program and therefore does not show any size in Ad/Remove Programs.  The latest version is 10.1.102.64.
    Adobe Reader is a standalone reader and browser add-on to view PDF files.  The latest version is 9.4.0.

  • Imessage and lots of other things don't work

    Has anybody solved this issue with imessage and facetime not activating?
    I'm having various other problems which I believe are all connected. When my date and time are set to auto, it wants to set my time zone to another time zone. Notifications are not showing unless I actually open the apps to find out. For example my facebook does not display on the icon that I have a message unless I open up the app to sync it. However I can make emails sync if I double tap home and force quit the email app. That does not work for any other apps though. Also my phone will not connect to youtube, says cannot connect.
    So in short these don't work: imessage, facetime, notifications (push), youtube, date and time auto selection
    My phone is an iphone 4 16gb, ios5.1 installed
    I've sought out the net now for the past month whenever I get a chance. Tried many things that people have suggested..Seems some people it has worked for and many, not. I also spoke to Apple on my own dime and seriously thier tech didn't seem to know what was going on...I could've worked there from what he seemed to know.
    Tried these: change DNS, restart, restore, reset all settings, reset individual settings, remove and clean sim, home & sleep button reset, phone bill is paid up, itunes account is paid up, turned off settings (imessage, facetime) - airplane mode - force close everything - restart - turn on settings again...and prob a whack more things.
    Has anybody solved this, any more ideas? I don't see a whole lot on the discussion board about it :/

    I think you have an Ownership and Permission problem. You should Repair Permission first, even-though, I don't think it's going to work.
    Which are the Ownership and Permissions details for your Home folder?

  • Can not load adobe flash and now none of my video will work. may go back to internet ex.

    can not load adobe flash player. tried plug in- and adobe site. nothing works and now I can not view any of my video. OH ye, you are not listed under any of the plug ins. are you windows? Mac? 64? what?

    Dan,
    The only safe way is to erase the volume and reinstall SL.  Then use setup assistant to migrate your data from a Snow Leopard Time machine or clone backup.
