You need to close all instances of iexplore.exe; use the Task Manager's Processes tab.

    Adobe Flash Player will not install on OS X ML 10.8.5. I think that problem is in Firewall or Safari Preferences...

    Problem is with Adobe On-line installer of Flash player, which is very buggy and almost always crashes with some error. Please use full Off-line installer of Flash player, download from here:

  • Can you help with my Flash installation problems please?

    My Adobe Flash Player (AFP) is gone and I cannot reinstall it.  I run Win 7 and IE10.  I was fine until 3 days ago.  The AFP support page tells me I do not have AFP, yet it is on my "uninstall programs" list.  I uninstall AFP, restart, install AFP (using save-run with no error messages), restart, and check the AFP support page to be told that I do not have AFP.  I have repeated this process several times to no avail.  I notice that Adobe Reader 11 and my Adobe Elements are located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\ but AFP is not there.  Please help!  Thank you.  (PS: Shockwave Flash Object is enabled for both 32-bit and 64-bit.)

    Flash Player is a browser plugin, not an executable program, and is therefore not installed under Program Files.
    If you have Shockwave Flash enabled, that means it is installed.  Perhaps you have ActiveX Filtering on?  See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968

  • Flash installation problems

    when installing flash in windows XP, with IE;  I get a screen that ask for an address name and a Port location.
    What do I respond, I have never had this happen before?

    Ok thanks. What computer are you trying to Install Flash Player on now? What browser and version are you using?
    What Anti-Virus program do you have Installed?
    Go to this site and use each browser you have to detect what version of Flash Player is Installed now.

  • Annoying Problem - Flash Installation

    Basically my problem is this. Whenever I go on certain
    websites, sometimes the flash content works and other times it
    doesn't. I tried to reinstall Flash Player 8 but it says it's
    already installed, but then when I go to view flash content on
    another site it says I do not have Flash Player. I went into
    Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and I removed Flash Player 8
    (Which strangely there seemed to be 2 of, maybe where the problem
    lies), but then I come back to the website to try install it and it
    says it's already installed.
    I'm a bit confused wondering why it says I have it installed
    despite just removing it myself, but I went and tried another site
    and it's still not working. I don't really know what to do as the
    installer on the site says I have the player, but everywhere else
    says I don't. But there is no way of downloading the player from
    the site and installing it on my PC from a client-side file from
    what I can gather, so I have to use the installer on the site which
    is annoying as I feel the site way is not actually installing
    anything at all. I don't get the ActiveX alert from the site
    either, but I'm sure that's because I already have it, as this is
    only a recent problem.
    I'm currently using IE 7.0.5346.5 (Beta 2) on Windows XP Home
    (w/ SP2), but I updated my IE to try and counter the problem but it
    didn't work. When I use Netscape 8.0 the flash content seems to
    show up perfectly and I have no problem, but I prefer using IE to
    the very slow-loading Netscape.
    I read about a similar problem on here but it seemed be about
    the Safari browser and not IE, so hopefully somebody knows/can help
    with this? I'd be eternally greatful for any solution anyone can
    provide.

    Hi Dave,
    I've got a confirmation that my VBScript is appropriate :
    http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=184&threadid=11470 48&enterthread=y
    BTW, if you use Norton as AntiVirus, you'll have an alert
    because of
    the access to registry and files inside the script.
    http://docxp.mvps.org/b1n/FlashRepair.exe
    This script can't repair ALL flash problems, but i think it
    is
    fine for yours. On a fully functionnal Flash installation, it
    can't
    break anything.
    What the script is doing ?
    0) Check I.E. user langage for french or english use in
    dialogs
    1) Close all open Internet Explorer windows
    2) change registry rights (to allow 3) or re-installation) on
    flash related keys
    3) register latest flash ocx (if found)
    4) remove lock of flash CLSID by "kill bit"
    FYI : this script is locked for XP use only.
    You want to check code before launching ?
    No problem, just unzip the .exe and open vbs file with
    notepad
    Ini file is for registry rights change.
    Hope this helps

  • Installation problem w/Vista

    Boot Camp/Vista installation problem
    MacBook 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, Snow Leopard 10.6.2.
    Trying to install Windows Vista Home Premium using Boot Camp.
    Started Boot Camp Installer and created 32GB partition. Inserted Vista disk as instructed and clicked on Start Installation.
    Black screen appeared looking like this:
    1.
    2.
    Select CD-ROM Boot Type: _
    That last underline was flashing, waiting for input.
    First off, I don't know what to type in, but . . .
    The keyboard appears to be disabled because no keystroke registers, nor Return/Enter. Even pressing caps lock or num lock fails to register a light on those keys.
    The only way out is to hold down the power key until shutdown, then restart with Eject key depressed to eject Vista disk.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi RebelGood,
    have a look here http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=467704 for instructions/solution.
    Basically you have to make yourself a copy of your Vista disc using the files of that disc and a programm called oscdimg.exe plus a burning program.
    And it had to be done on a Windows PC or in virtualized Windows (using Parallels/Fusion/VirtualBox) on your Mac.

  • I fixed the Flash Player Problem...Here's How

    Okay, this worked for me.  Whether it will work for you, I hope so.  Thanks to Duelly Noted for much of the work, and dumb luck for the rest.
    First, you need 3 user accounts for windows.  When you open the start menu, on the top is the username and the icon you use.  Click on the icon, and it will go to manage accounts.  Now, make sure your account is set to administrator. Create 2 new accounts, and make sure BOTH are set as administrators, not users!!!
    Now to make it simple, I am going to use letters to name the accounts.
    A-Your main account, with the Flash Problem
    B- A second account
    C-The account you want to use as your new one
    You need to download the Flash installer, on both A and C.  Here is the link:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    While you are logged into A and C, you must install on both accounts.  Install to desktop.
    In account A, download and install the uninstaller.  uninstall flash player with the uninstaller above.  DO NOT UNINSTALL through WINDOWS PROGRAMS! Run whatever you use to clean your account, Disk Cleanup, etc.  Restart your computer.  Log out of the account.   Log into account B, it takes a moment to set the desktop.  Then log out.  Log into account C, and uninstall Flash Player from there.  With the uninstaller!!! Now clean that account too.  Restart again.  Log out of C.  Restarting helps clean the old files out. Log back into B, and transfer all your files from A to C.  Then log back into B.  Here's how:
    Click the start Menu, click computer, then click your C: drive. click Tools, click Folder Options, click the View tab, click Show hidden files and folders, click to clear the Hide protected operating system files check box, and then click OK.  Locate the user account for A,  where C is the drive on which Windows  is installed, and Old_Username is the name of the profile you want to copy user data from.  Highlight each  file and subfolder in this folder, except the following files:     * Ntuser.dat     * Ntuser.dat.log     * Ntuser.ini.  On the Edit menu, click Copy. # Locate the C:\Documents and Settings\New_Username folder, where C is the drive on which Windows XP is installed, and New_Username is the name of the user profile that you created in the "Create a New User Profile" section. # On the Edit menu, click Paste.  Log off the computer, and then log on as the new user. Note You must import your e-mail messages and addresses to the new user profile before you delete the old profile. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 313055  (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313055/ ) Mail folders, address book, and e-mail messages are missing after you upgrade to Microsoft Windows .
    Now log on C.  Then make sure EVERYTHING transferred.  It worked on mine, but as far as Outlook, or Mail, your contacts should be imported, and hopefully your messages, too.  Then unless you are prompted to log in there, you will have to reset your settings.  If you don't know how, contact your service provider for your internet.
    If everything is transferred fine, then make sure A and B are logged off.  But first make sure all your files and accounts are working.  Since C is administrator, simply delete A and B.  Then you are left with C, and a destination for a working Flash.  At this point, clean and defrag your drive.
    Then install flash on C.  What I figure is the Flash Problem might be code, and if you have Flash on A and C, whatever problem transfers with your files.  Without 2 Flashes to go to, it just gets lost.
    This worked great for me, I hope it works for you too.  I pray that I didn't miss a step, but as far as physical computer problems, I am great.  With software, I am still learning.  But between what I have been suggested to do, and a little bit of conjecture, I now have Flash.
    P.S.  Adobe support is WORTHLESS on this!  I contacted them, and they told me they couldn't help me without registering my product.  But you can't since Flash is a free program and there is not serial number, which is the first step to register a program.  Then, they followed up with 3 responses asking if my problem had been solved, or to contact them.  BUT you just said you couldn't help me unless I registered.  Then they considered my problem closed and that was that.  I replied with exactly what they said to me, and reopened the case.  You know, just for the heck of it.  Then, HA HA, they sent me a survey asking how the help went for me.  Oh, I enjoyed that survey indeed.

    I apologize for that.  Here is the problem I was having:
    With two particular sites, espn.com and ign.com, though I have heard it happened on many other sites as well.  On these sites, the flash content for backgrounds, advertisements, everything else would run fine.  The issue was with the video content.  On ESPN.COM, if I wanted to watch a larger video the length of the screen, when I loaded it the screen would freeze on a still image, and the sound would play but not the video.  On the still image, a white play arrow would be static with a white circle around it.  If I called up the Flash settings menu, it would be inoperative, frozen, and you could not close it.  On smaller videos, the box would stay black with no picture, no sound.  If I called up the Flash menu, same thing would happen, frozen.  On IGN.COM, pretty much the same thing.  Other Flash content would load fine, but not videos.  On the link to a video, a Flash advertisement next to the video box would play, but not the video.  Occasionally, an ad would play in the video screen fine, but no requested video.  All black, with a frozen Flash settings menu.  That's pretty much it, sorry for leaving that out.  But on every other site I visited with video (ie. Youtube, gamespot, etc.) everything would run fine.  But the two in question are a couple of the sites I visit most, so I was on a mission to fix it.

  • Is After Effects CS5.5 PowerPC-only? (Installation Problem)

    I just installed Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium on a new (2012) Mac Mini (Intel Core i7 processor) running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  Most of the apps installed correctly, but After Effects CS5.5 gives me the following error when I try to launch:
    You can't open the application "Adobe After Effects CS5.5" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    I tried uninstalling and re-installing the app (along with Flash Catalyst, which also fails), but the error remains. What's the deal here? Is it an installation problem, or is After Effects CS5.5 truly incompatible with my new hardware/OS?  Any suggestions appreciated.

    Okay, answered my own question.  I was installing on a Mac Mini, which doesn't have an optical drive, so I was using a remote optical drive to install across my network.  Turns out that confused the installer.  I ended up copying the install DVD onto a flash drive and installing from that.  Problem went away.

  • Adobe Flash Install Problem

    After numerous Flash crashes I tried to uninstall/reinstall newest Flash Player with Mozilla Firefox ~ unsuccessfully. Next I tried to complete a "clean install" of the newest Adobe Flash Player using Internet Explorer on my Windows XP. Uninstall & delete files seems to have worked but, I save the install download to my desktop, choose run program and the run program dialogue box disappears then the install program icon disappears from my desktop and there seems to be no evidence of any Flash Player download at all anywhere in my system that I can find. Despite redoing these steps, the results remain the same. What is happening and what can I do to be able to successfully download Flash Player again? Add ons + security features are not set to prevent this as far as I can tell. I had the latest version with occasional crash problems prior to this attempt to correct that, but now I have nothing. Help!

    If you are trying to install Flash Player on Mozilla Firefox, you need to download Flash Player using Firefox. I think you downloaded Flash Player using Internet Explorer. I am not clear on why the downloaded Flash Player file disppears from your machine.
    Could you please download Flash Player from the following link:  http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header
    (the second link)
    Close all browsers and double-click the file you downloaded.

  • Upgrade Options for Internal Hard Drive on dv2000t Laptop (Installation Problems)

    I need to replace a failed hard drive in my 2006 dv2000t laptop.  The drive I'm replacing was already a replacement drive from the original 80GB drive that shipped with laptop.  That first replacement 3 years ago (2008) was a 200GB drive, that worked well for about 3 years.  But it just crashed (apparently).  I was getting some "S.M.A.R.T" imminent drive failure warnings a week prior, and then it finally would no longer boot-up.  Subsequent tests on the extracted drive show it as having many failed sectors.
    I had no problem ordering a replacement drive the first time in 2008, restoring an Acronis backup image of original drive, installing it, etc.  All went smoothly in 2008.   So I assumed all would go smoothly again for yet another replacement and upgrade.
    In 2008 the drive I ordered was a W.D. (Western Digital, sticking with the same brand as original) 2.5-in 5400rpm SATA drive (200GB).  That was a SATA (I) drive (1.5 Gbit/s interface). 
    The first drive I recently ordered (Mar 2011) was a W.D 2.5-in 7200rpm 500GB SATA II (3.0 Gbits/s interface) drive (from W.D.'s "Scorpio Black" line.)   Got the drive, burned the disc image to it, and popped it into the laptop.  Unfortunately, upon startup, and after BIOS screen, all I get is a black screen with a fast flashing white cursor at the top of the screen.  Drive apparently is not being recognized by the computer?  Then I did some reading in a few on-line forums and found some references about this laptop not doing well with drive capacities over 320GB, nor with 7200rpm drives (because they run hotter than 5400 drives).  And finally, references to the SATA interface speed.  I ordered a 2nd drive, this one from W.D's "Scorpio Blue" line, this time a 5400rpm 320GB drive (but still SATA II).  Same story, still won't work.  So I decided that maybe the issue was the SATA speed.  So I found someone who still had an older SATA (1.5 GBit/s) W.D. drive in stock .  It's a W.D. SATA 250GB (no longer made).  It should arrive in a couple days -- and I'm hoping this one works!
    I would like to get some kind of confirmation about the blinking white cursor on the black screen on start-up.  Is that typicalif the system not finding a bootable hard drive?  Also, is this SATA vs. SATA-II issue a likely cause of my problem?   I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the new drives themselves, and the restored images on them , as the drives will mount and are accessible when I plug them in as external drives on my other computer.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I have been able to solve my own hard drive installation problems.  It turns out that there were no issues with any of the new replacement drive(s) I ordered (thinking I had ordered drives with the wrong specs).  The solution to the problem was a simple one.  The restored drives were not booting because there was no MBR (Master Boot Record) on the drives after disc image restoration.
    I am using Acronis True Image Home 2011 as my disc imaging (backup) software.  And I just didn't understand how to properly restore backed up images to a new hard drive.  I had done everything correctly except that I had not checked the box to "restore MBR" -- at the time not understanding what that was or its significance.  Once I checked that box, and reimaged the new drive, it worked fine.

  • Flash Installer cannot download. "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed."

    Flash Installer cannot download. Finally get the message,  "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." I already uninstalled the old copy, now I have no Flash Player.

    My issue was identical.... days of frustrating downloads and initializing but no installation........ UNTIL I chose to not use the default installer and chose 'Save File'. Now I have the latest Flash installed in OS 10.8.5 no problems !!
    This time a long download of 16MB arrived in the downloads folder that actually worked.
    Prior to this, all downloads were around 1.6MB and there was no .dmg in the package.
    I got my download under where it says "Still having problems?"
    Hope this helps you.

    Why would you have to buy it again? I don't understand a word of your second paragraph. If you bought a legitimate copy and you're having license or installation problems, then send an urgent message to Adobe support, or phone them. On the few occasions I've had trouble with Adobe installation issues, I found their phone support to be quite helpful.
    I'm a cartoonist too. I thought we're all supposed to be rich like Jim Davis.

  • Flash installer is very poor show.

    I doubt anyone will listen - but just want to add my feedback to others who have been upset by how flash installs updates. 
    I was asked to update by flash in the big black box on start up.. did so and it downloaded Macafee without my permission.  Installing this way does not appear to give you any options to disable this installation option.
    Unprofessional behaviour in my opinion.  Following the tactics of malware sites is not acceptable.  Paints your whole company in a bad light being associated with this.

    Thanks for the clarification.  This definitely is not the intended behavior.  I've seen similar complaints, and we take them seriously and do our best to investigate them.  We have around 1.2 billion users, but I've seen maybe a couple dozen complaints about this over the last couple years.  A failure rate of 0.001% at Flash Player scales translates to 100k+ people, and I'm not seeing the kind of overwhelming response that you would expect if this was a widespread issue.
    We get a wave of questions with each update, and we usually get a handful of this kind of complaint for each release.  I've personally spent a bunch of time trying to recreate a scenario where this would happen, and I haven't been able to do it.  I've worked with a couple people that were experiencing this to try and recreate the problem on their machines as well, but the issue has never reproduced for anyone I've talked to.  My guess is that it's timing dependent.  When we publish the update, we don't just put it on one server.  It goes out to a Content Distribution Network, composed of thousands of geographically distributed servers.  It takes about an hour for the update to fully propagate across the entire CDN, and because of the transitory nature of the symptoms, my guess is that if you happen to hit the update at just the wrong time, there's a half-updated server state that somehow causes the client to grab the wrong payload; however, the payload with and without the bundled offers have totally different names, so it's not obvious from looking at the code as to why this would happen (and we've looked carefully).
    Anything that you can tell me in terms of specifics about your system would be useful in helping to put a picture together of what's happening.  In particular the Operating System and version, and the browser(s) that you have installed.
