Flash doesn't work, though installed.

Rinning an Acer Aspire laptop 6 months old.  Windows 7 Home Premium using IE8 7600.16385
It used to work.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times.
Please do not assume by my nickname (LANMaster) that I am an IT guru.   That was decades ago.
Had a virus, and I may still.   Will be purchasing REAL antivirus soon, but not today.
Please help if you can.   It's really a bother.  I get no flash whatsoever.
Thanks in advance for the free support.

Awaiting further assistance with Adobe Flash.

  • Flash doesn't work suddenly [SOLVED]

    Today flash doesn't work anymore, I do not remember any modifications. In Firefox the browser segfaults after a few seconds of flash content. In Opera the flash area is replaced with weird graphics http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/5845 … 0x800s.png like this. I reinstalled flash10, no help. I installed flash9, no help, same problems.
    Also, gnash plugin works for most flash content, but not for youtube though (on youtube I'll just get a blueish empty screen). Viewing flash videos is a must for my PC use..
    EDIT:
    I discovered that my sound didn't work, and I remember removing dbus from my modules since somebody says HAL starts it.
    I solved it by adding dbus after hal in modules. I know that people say you shouldn't do that, and it creates this error text at bootup, but that did fix my sound, and my flash issues. Weird.

    that didnt do the trick either.
    I decided to reinstall flashplugin, and then i noticed a warning that said "warning: directory permissions differ on usr/lib/mozilla. filesystem: 700 package: 755."
    should i just try to chmod /usr/lib/mozilla, and then reinstall Flash?
    EDIT: Yep, i just ran sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib/mozilla, and reinstalled flash. Works well

  • Flash doesn't work in Firefox 13

    Installed Firefox 13 yesterday. Now flash doesn't work. Have done all the supposed fixes to no avail. Have uninstalled and reinstalled flash. I'm at my wits end with this issue. I'm a web designer who uses flash in a number of my sites. VERY IRRITATING when my sites don't display properly. Anyone have a solution other than the pat Mozilla "fixes"?

    I received a PM from '''CheckMate''' about this thread. Since this is something that I think should be discussed openly I'll reply here.
    The ActiveX plugin (npmozax.dll) issue is now fixed via the Mozilla blocklist, which automatically disables it. For some background on the ActiveX plugin issue, see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/708425 Blocking the old ActiveX plugin] in the contributor's forum thread.
    The Flash 11.3 Firefox protected mode problem is a separate issue and one related bug is [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747683 747683] So, if you did have the ActiveX plugin installed and it is now disabled, AND you have Flash 11.3 installed, then the issue is no longer the ActiveX plugin.
    If the problem is Flash 11.3 protected mode (or other issues with Flash 11.3) it's not a good idea to suggest downgrading to 11.2.202.235. The reason why uninstalling Flash and going to a page that requires Flash installs an older version is because the Plugin Finder Service hasn't been updated yet! This is from http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Installing_Flash_on_Windows <br>
    '''Quote:'''<br>
    ''If the Flash plugin is not installed and you visit a page that has Flash content that requires the plugin, the Plug-in Finder Service can download and install Flash for you (see [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+the+Flash+plugin Installing the Flash plugin (Firefox Support)] for more information). If you want to try this method and Flash is already installed, you can [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Uninstalling_Flash uninstall Flash] and then visit [http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Adobe's Flash test page] to launch the Plugin Finder Service ; however, it may offer you an outdated version.''
    The alternative (disabling Flash 11.3 protected mode by editing an obscure file) is not good either. I don't know what to suggest in those cases. I think it would be a good idea if you could bring this up in the SUMO Community Discussions forum. There's already a topic started on Flash 11.3 issues, here:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/708430 Flash 11.3 issues (was: flash 11.3 released)
    Here is your original message, for reference:
    ''Hi, Alice- You locked the thread on the Adobe Flash Plugin update 11.300.257 not working question but you really shouldn't have for the following reasons. First, although I too found today that the Active X has been blocked as of June 7, the problem persists and the instruction is to contact the manufacturer. How about contacting Adobe and straightening this out on the Developer level instead of closing the thread because there's another temporary but much simpler solution that I found. Second, the instructions on how to disable Protected Mode are nuts. I'm pretty advanced, but my common sensed tells me this is too complicated to bother with and shouldn't be necessary and you yourself say this isn't a permanent fix. Third, I found a much simpler solution, at least until this bug is fixed. Completely uninstall the Plugin from the Add and Remove Programs list. Then, when you try to access any video on YouTube which uses the Plugin, Firefox reports that it needs an additional Plugin to play the video (look specifically for the FF blue plugin icon). When you click on it, it automatically downloads the PREVIOUS VERSION, 11.2.202.235 which works perfectly. But if you click on the warning below it that Adobe Flash is needed, the buggy 11.3.300.257 version will be installed again! This has to be fixed by the Developers. Until it is, the fix is simply to roll back the faulty update, which could have also been done with a restore point but I wanted to find the cause. FF apparently knows automatically that this plugin is faulty and installs the previous version, but the other instruction is contradictory and installs the 11.3.300.257 Nice!?!? ''

  • I have a black iphone 5 and my flash doesn't work it used to work every once in a while but stopped

    I have a black iphone 5 and my flash doesn't work it used to work every once in a while but stopped I went into the camera app and tried to see if it would flash when I took a picture but I saw it light very faintly and hasn't done lot up since. Should I get the led replaced?

    First, try bringing up Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the home screen.  Turn on the flashlight by tapping the icon in the lower left.  Does the flashlight work?  If not, perhaps you have a hardware issue.
    If it works, check the top of the screen when you open the Camera app to make sure you have the flash on.

    where can I find this

    If it suggests that you install iPhoto again, install iPhoto again. In your Macs Box that it came in there should be 2 Discs, one is an Applications CD (You need this one) And another is the Mac OS X.
    Insert your Applications CD and hold C while the computer is starting up, then you will be walked through the installation of Applications.

  • IPhone 4s glitches, is cracked, and camera flash doesn't work. What is the cost to exchange for a new one?

    Front screen of my iPhone 4s is cracked, it freezes/lags, camera flash doesn't work, and every time you press a bit harder on the front screen red and grey vertical lines appear. I have had it for more than a year now, so how much will it cost for me to replace it?

    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
    iPhone model          Out-of-Warranty Service
    iPhone 5          $229
    iPhone 4S          $199
    iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
    iPhone 3G, Original iPhone          $149
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.
    When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above.  This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
    Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer.

  • I have latest version of flash but flash doesn't work in safari!

    Why do I have latest version of flash but flash doesn't work in safari!I have flash for mac.Your help will be appreciated.

    If you're talking about using Flash on your iPod, you can't. There is no version of Flash that will work on any iOS device. If you're talking about using Flash on your computer, you may want to repost in the correct forum.

  • Flash doesn't work and work with another browser!!

    ''locking as a duplicate of - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/900202''
    Flash doesn't work and work with another browser!!.
    The message is " An error occurred, please try again later" just with youtube. Other sites work. Another browser works with youtube!!

    Whay do you mean "difficult with the camer?"
    Two things that might help. Reset all your settings and reset the phone.  Use the Settings app to reset all settings. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings  Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that helps.

  • My Flash doesn't work on IE 8

    I am a webmaster with an existing flash on

    Well, all your object embed tags are correct so it's

  • IPhone 5 torch and flash doesn't work

    iPhone 5 torch and flash doesn't work? How can I activate?

    The flash is activated as follows:
    When you are in camera mode, and the camera is open about to take a photo, you will see an elliptical button in the upper left with a flash-like sign.  Press that button and you will find it has three settings: Auto, On, and Off.
    Choose one.
    I don't know what you mean by "torch".

  • Flash doesn't work in IE after virus

    After my wife got a virus Flash no longer works.  Initially IE would not run at all but I was able to google some information that allowed me to tweak the registry and I was able to get IE to run.  However, I have been unable to get Flash to work.
    I have installed/uninstalled numberous times with various uninstall programs.  I have checked to insure that the kill bit has not been set.
    When I install Flash from IE I get a message in red indicating that Flash has already been installed.
    My wife's computer is running Windows 7 64 bit and Internet Explorer 8.
    I was able to install Firefox and get Flash to install and run in it.
    Any ideas of what else I could try to get Flash to work in IE?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    In Maromed/Flash:
    Flash10p.ocx

    FlashUtil10p_ActivX.exe
    lashUtil10p_Plugin.exe
    install.log
    NPSWF32.dll
    Flash is not showing up in the list of plugins.  I checked the registry and it doesn't appear that the registry entries for Flash are appearing there either.
    If I go to flash.com it takes me to a page that will either show me a flash presentation or tell me I need to download and install it.  I get the message indicating that I need to intall it.
    Thanks again for the help.

  • Lib32-konqueror-nsplugins and flash doesn't work

    Hallo,
    I tried the lib32-konqueror-nsplugins. But it doesn't work because:
    Adobe Flash Player: gtk_clipboard_get(GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY); failed. Trying to call gtk_init(0,0);
    (<unknown>:6900): Gdk-WARNING **: Error converting from UTF-8 to STRING: Could not open converter from 'UTF-8' to 'ISO-8859-1'
    (<unknown>:6900): Gdk-WARNING **: Error converting from UTF-8 to STRING: Conversion from character set 'UTF-8' to 'ISO-8859-1' is not supported
    So there is a problem with utf8. So I changed en_US.utf8 to en_US in rc.conf rebooted but still the same error. I searched but I didn't find a solution. Can you please help me? (I have lib32-gtk2 installed)

    Hi Noneus,
    The error message is quite normal you get it in opera too. The problem is (since last weeks updates) you need lib32-pcre. I added it as a lib32-konqueror-nsplugins decency so one else has this problem.

  • Flash doesn't work on Internet Explorer after updating

    Hello everybody
    I work in a professional environment
    I have a Terminal server Windows 2008 R2 and I update Flash player to 11.5.502.146 (usinag command change user /install like usual)
    Since this update, Internet Explorer is very very slow and we can not use it anymore
    If I disable Flash player, it works perfertly
    I tried to uninstall it / reboot / reinstall it but it doesn't work
    For the moment we use Firefox, but we need Internet Explorer for our intranet
    Do you have any idea ?
    Does anyone know how I can get an older version 11.5 ?
    Thanks for your help
    Aurelie

    Hi Aurelie,
    Could you give our 11.6 beta a try to see if that improves the situation?  If not, try reverting back to a known working previous version (or our latest 10.3) to verify it's directly related to 11.5.502.146.
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html
    How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Launchpad Gestures doesn't work after install Lion

    Hey people, I have this problem, after install Lion all gestures works properly, but Launchpad and Show desktop doesn't work even with the option in the Trackpad enabled.
    Anybody can help me please.
    Kind regards.

    Here are my best suggestions for your camera problem:
    • If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
       suggestions do not help you, continue with the following.
    • Use Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
       download and apply the 10.7.2 Combo Update:
         http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459
    • Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
       that completes the Combo update.
    The Combo version of updates can sometimes correct
    strange problems like yours.
    For camera problems in web video, you may need to update to the current version of Flash: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    If you need to update Flash, follow Adobe's instructions and uninstall your old Flash before installing the new one: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90893.html
