Flash install doesn't work

I have attempted to install the adobe flash at least a dozen
times. I have two administrative profiles on my XP Home system.
flash works fine on the primary profile, however after apparently
successfullty installing on the second profile, attempts to go to
pages which require flash report that it must be installed.
This is unacceptable. I must have this working on the second
profile. I intend on making the second profile a regular user, not
an administrator.
I have attempted to get phone support from adobe, but they
refused.
This appears to be an issue with adobe flash, since I see
many other folks with the same problem. I have tried several of the
suggestions including uninstalling/reinstalling, rebooting after
uninstalling and then reinstalling, installing other versions of
flash, etc. None have worked.
I have also created new profiles on my machine. Any new
profiles also fail to install the flash.
Is there any way to get this working on alternate profiles?
It is absolutely unacceptable that this doesn't work. I will start
e-mailing the web administrators on any sites that use flash to
inform them that thier sites are inaccessible to thier customers if
I can't get this to work correctly.

Please read the threads on this in the Flash Player forum. We
have several solutions (but there are also several possible
problems).
You may also open a web case (Flash Player has no phone
support. It's web only...)
So this is fixable, but it takes some effort.. We can help
you better in the Player forum.

  • IMac Flash install doesn't work

    I have attempted to install Flash 14 on my iMac at least 10 times and without fail the install always fails and locks up my iMac every time the retrieving window comes up. My system has plenty of HD and memory so that can not be the issue and I have turned off my anti virus.
    HELP please.

    i realized that when you are trying to download it wants a password and i tried everything nothing worked. but then today i realized it wants the password you use to log in to your mac when you turn it on..that administrator password. then it worked.

    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • Flash CS6 doesn't work

    Hello,
    It has been a while since I worked with Flash, but once a year I have to edit a Flash file (with sponsors of a local event). Last summer I made the latest version of the file in Flash CS5. I've installed CS6 (the complete design&web premium package). Now I want to change the file that I made last year, but Flash CS6 doesn't work like it should. When I open the specific file, s small screen with the canvas is visible, I can't enlarge this screen, there are other windows available in the menu, but they won't show up when I activate them. I've tried to save the document as a CS5 file (I have a CS5 version on my laptop) but the file can't be opened (warning: this file has been created in Flash CS6).
    When I try other menu-items, the program 'unexpectedly' stops.
    In other words: I can't do anything anymore.
    I've installed Flash CS6 again, but that doesn't solve the problem.
    Is this a familiar issue? Can anyone help me?
    Thanks

  • After update flash player doesn't work most of the time

    Hi Folks!
    Windows XP
    IE 6
    About 2 weeks ago I installed a flash player security update and ever since then flash player doesn't work most of the time. On most websites with embeded video all I see is an empty placeholder where the video is supposed to be.
    If I go to a site like Youtube all is fine. However, if I go to a site that has embeded a Youtube video all I see is the empty placeholder where the video is supposed to be.
    Some folks have recommended I uninstall and download and reinstall. The problem with this is that there isn't *anything* related to Abobe flash player in Add/Remove programs.
    Not sure what to do about this (read: I'm totally lost!).
    Here's a screencap of the empty placeholder:
    http://i27.tinypic.com/2wrdttf.jpg

    The standard warranty is for 12 months from the date of purchase, unless you bough AppleCare which would have extended it to 2 years.
    If it's out of warranty, then you pay for repairs, and it's expensive. There are 3rd party repairers who are cheaper.
    Did you try these?
    The Five Rs.
    As the previous poster said, it's more than likely a hardware issue, but there's no harm in trying the software fixes before you decide it needs repair.

  • Flash Player doesn't work after update

  • Macbook air adoble flash player doesn't work after installation

    macbook air adobe flash player doesn't work after installation

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 7. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
    Step 3
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 4
    If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    Open this folder as in Step 4:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 6
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 7
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
    Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
    Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 8
    Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

  • The flash player doesn't work on my IE9

    I have a windows 7 - 64 bit operating system. The flash player doesn’t work on my IE9 and it does work on Google Chrome. I have tried uninstalling the flash player and re installing the player. The download file doesn’t download when I try downloading through IE9and the file fails to initialize when I download the flash player for IE9 through google chrome. My antivirus software McAfee is not working because of the flash player and other softwares like yahoo messenger . Please help.

    Assuming you've checked to make sure that Shockwave Flash is enabled in IE's addons manager and you do not have ActiveX filtering enabled, Could you check to see if you have the following Windows update installed?
    KB2670838 – Platform Update for Windows 7 x64
    If so, please uninstall it and try Flash Player out again.
    Thanks,

  • Flash Player doesn't work, either IE or Firefox.

    Flash Player doesn't work, on either IE or Firefox.  Vista 32 bit, Firefox 10.0.2, Shockwave Flash 11.1.102.62.  Reloaded Firefox and Flash.  I get the spinning circle, but video never starts on IE or FF. Settings manager works.  I'm at a loss.  Update - actually it works on most video now, except Fox Sports or ESPN, either IE of FF.

    After browsing the forums a bit, it would appear that this has been an ongoing problem for more than a month and the only 'inquiry' on the part of Adobe that I can find is one gentleman consistently asking people to report through the adobe bug/crash report process
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/953796
    While I'm certain there have been many, many reports offered up, we have yet to see any solutions from the company, and admissions that there are issues with this product, or any ETA on expecting a reliable, stable version of Flash. 
    It would be very nice to have some feedback formally from the company.  Many users (including myself) are experiencing frequent BSOD, having to spend hours uninstalling, reinstalling and aimlessly troubleshooting our computers all because of this add-in. 
    I recently updated every single hardware driver from my manufacturer, flashed my BIOS, troubleshot memory through self-diagnostics for days, and i still have issues related to Flash.   I've tried the quick fixes suggested by (not sure if he's an Adobe official voice) user 'Chris' to no avail.
    Certainly I could offer my dump file, by what good will that do me?  Adobe, you certainly have enough crash reports to make SOME progress, please offer us up something, even if it's just to update us on any progress or research?  All we know is you want information from us, while we still have nothing from you

  • Uninstalled IE with flash player, installed firefox and added flash player - doesn't work!

    Hey guys,
    I have just used Revo Uninstaller Pro to remove IE 9 (I think ... it's the standard built in IE taht comes with my Win7 Home Premium 64 bit OS).  I had flash player installed in IE.  Upon uninstalling all flash components from my computer using Revo, I did an "advanced" search to find all leftover registry entries and files/folders associated with Flash.  While doing this, Revo had warned me of some files that "have recently been added" (I believe since initial installation of Flash), and gave me the option of deleting these one at a time.  I cannot remember what these files included, but looking at a posting from another person, i seem to recognize some files that I *may* have deleted while removing with Revo:
    Flash10d.ocx
    Flash10e.ocx
    FlashUtil10e.exe
    GetFlash.man
    install.log
    swflash.inf
    uninstall_activeX.exe
    (again, I have no idea if ANY of the above were the actual ones I deleted, but I seem to remember seeing a couple of these at least listed to me as options to delete)
    I proceeded to remove ALL files from my computer.
    Then, upon installing Firefox and, subsequently installing flash on it, I noticed that some flash websites load and work properly, whereas other ones don't.  I also been to the adobe confirmation page stating taht I have successfully installed and am running Adobe Flash player.  Is this simply a case of missing one key component in flash?
    Before the entire uninstall mission I did, I remember revo as listing more than 1 Flash programs installed.  I believe I had seen two flash 11 programs installed in Revo, which I thought were just simply duplicate installations.  I vaguely remember one of them being listed as Flash player 11 and the other as Flash player 11 activex?  (both were removed off my system).
    Are these files different and did I, in fact, need both of these installed?
    Anyway, I have no idea where to go from here.  Help please!
    Thanks!

    So what Flash Player version do you have currently installed?

  • Ever since upgrading to Mavericks, Adobe Flash Player doesn't work.

    I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks recently and since then, sites do not recognize that I have Adobe Flash Player installed at all. I currently have the most updated version: "Plug-in version 11.9.900.170 is installed." I noticed this when family and friends sent me e-cards. I go to the sites to view them and it tells me I need to download Adobe Flash Player.
    I have uninstalled it twice and downloaded it twice. Installation is always successful and complete but when I test it to view an e-card sent to me from a reliable site, it still states that I need to install it to view the card. I HAVE IT!! lol  I don't understand why the sites are not recognizing it on my computer.
    I've tested it out on both Safari and Firefox and it doesn't work on either. Safari is 7.0.1 (current).
    Can anyone help me fix this? Troubleshooting on Adobe Flash Player basically tells me to uninstall and re-install. Still doesn't help. ~sigh~
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
    Step 1
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 2
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    Step 3
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:

    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
    Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
    Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 6
    Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    Step 7
    In the Safari preference window, select
