Flash player 10.3 not working and i've tried everything, i mean everything

Good day all. I'm using the latest firefox 5, win xp pro sp3 and flash 10.3. Now im trying to play a game on facebook and it keeps saying Please update your flash player by clicking HERE.Now i've uninstalled flash with the uninstaller and rebooted and reinstalled. I've tried installing 11.1 beta and that didn't help. I installed both same time and that didn't help. i went to the flash site to see if flash is installed and even though it was installed it kept saying install plugin so i did. Then i had shockwave player 10.3 and flash 11.1 beta. Now i've taken everything off and only got 10.3 on. Of course it still doesn't work. I tried removing that npswf32.dll file but that just tells firefox i don't have flash.
contents of C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
Flash10u.ocx
FlashInstall.log
flashplayer.xpt
FlashUtil10u_activeX.dll
FlashUtil10u_activeX.exe
FlashUtil10u_plugin.exe
NPSWF32.dll
I'm crying out in desperation here. I been battling with this for days now. I've tried googling, searching this site and honestly i'm fed up. I've spent hours and lots of bandwith trying to download updates and install files etc etc. Please is there anyone out there that can help me.

Well, thank you for your unkind comments!
This is a user forum, and people try to help when they have time and specific ideas about certain problems.  Not everybody of the few regulars is available all the time.
Posting incomplete information also slows things down considerably, and posting the same problem multiple time only wastes the volunteers' time.
I will most certainly ignore you if you ever come back in need for help.
Yip then my post is definitely for people like you. Funny how your reply took a day but my problem was only sorted out 4 days later. I had over 100 views of my post in a few hours. I hardly call that a "few regulars". I think you'd be annoyed if your problem wasn't sorted out either. I think only one person replied which was helpful, the other post i did another one person replied but he was trying to be clever. Multiple posts don't waste volunteers time if noone's replying, now is it? Please think before you post next time, seriously.

  • Flash Player 10 does not work in IE or Firefox. What could it conflict with?

    I'm  using Firefox 3.6.8 (and sometimes IE 8.0.6001.18702IC) on Windows XP Pro, SP 3.
    For some weeks now, I have been unable to hear any sounds on anything Flash-based, from YouTube to games at MSN.com or embedded videos on any site using Flash.  Initially I had assumed it to be because of having QuickTime installed because I know QT likes to hijack everything.  I uninstalled QT (and Real Player) and Flash Player then reinstalled Flash Player (and Shockwave Player just in case) and guess what?
    Yup.  Nothing.  When I uninstalled everything, I used a program called Revo Uninstaller, which includes a registry cleaning option.  I then used Abexo and WinASO's registry cleaners to make sure I got everything else that even looked like QuickTime off my hard drive.
    When I reinstalled Flash, the following programs appeared in C:\Windows\system 32\Macromed\Flash:
    Flash 10i.ocx (10.1.82.76)
    FlashUtil10i_ActiveX (10.1.82.76)
    FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.82.76)
    genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
    FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll (10.1.82.76)
    NPSWF32.dll (10.1.82.76)
    KB931433
    FlashInstall
    Install
    Flashplayer.xpt
    When I check IE's "Tools" and look for add-ons, it says that Flash (Shockwave Flash) is enabled.  I even enabled the other Adobe add-ons for Acrobat and such just to be sure.  Firefox shows Shockwave Flash and Shockwave for Director both to be enabled.  The Flash control panel settings don't help: I have all sites set to store about 100 KB on my computer to make sure there's enough room for everything but still nothing.
    Before anyone asks, my audio drivers are up to date, thanks to the manufacturer's website.  I have DirectX 9.0c installed and everything else works fine.  I can play audio and video elsewhere with no problems.  It's only Flash that's showing me this trouble and there's no hint as to what else could be interfering with Flash.
    Any ideas?

    Well, great.  I tried the uninstall/reinstall before, but not with the uninstaller, so I was hopeful that this time might do it.  No such luck.  The video still plays, but no sound.
    All the sound settings are working with everything else from games to media players.  I set Windows' firewall to allow both the ActiveX and plugin for Flash, just in case.
    In the Flash folder, I now have:
    Flash10l.ocx (10.1.102.64)
    Flash Util10l_ActiveX (10.1.102.64)
    FlashUtil10l_Plugin (10.1.102.64)
    Genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
    FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.dll (10.1.102.64)
    NPSWF32.dll (10.1.102.64)
    And the setup and text files that went with 'em.
    I've also done a system restart since then and zip.
    I went through IE and Firefox and looked for any file associations (like .flv) that I could manually change over to using Flash, but no go.  The settings panels for Flash have all been set to allow YouTube specifically (as a test) and to allow 10KB of storage space for all affected sites.
    Now what?  I'm really not looking forward to a reformat and reinstall, but it's looking like that's what it's going to take.

    Something is strange with your list of modules; you list FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.102.64), but this is really 10.1.85.3
    I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely (using http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), then restart Windows, and delete all remaining files in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash.
    Next reinstall both ActiveX (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe) and the plugin (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe).
    After that, if the problem persists, have a look at this page http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/837/cpsid_83739.html

    Sending by Dropbox where, To who, to what computer? As your does not start up.
    You need to take at least the OS disc to a work Mac computer and create DMG from the OS install disc then restore that DMG to USB thumb drive. Then you can boot the computer from that thumb drive and install the OS. That is if your hard drive is functioning correctly.
    Then you can use the App disc in the external CD/DVD drive to load up all the included Applications that come with your version of OS X.

    Having tried all the ways possible to get it working, contact your retailer again and politely tell them they did not yet satisfactorily resolve your trouble.  Their Apple-Authorized Service Provider will be able to repair it.

  • Sound on iPad is not working and I've tried all

    sound on iPad is not working and I've tried all.. Someone HELP me

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • Flash Player installed but not working properly

    I have Windows 7 64 bit, and run IE11.
    I have Adobe Flash Player installed.
    It works fine on my login (administrator) but my young Son can not watch video's, as it says Flash Player is not installed.
    How do I fix this please?

  • Flash Player 10.1 not working for Mac

    I recently downloaded the new flash player 10.1 for my mac and also have updated to the latest safari browser but every time i try and watch any videos or play flash games it doesn't work and i'm told to download the latest flash player. I've tried uninstalling the reinstalling and enabling the flash plugin but nothing is working. After it says that it has installed successfully which i do when all the browsers are shut and i restart the computer it doesn't work. Not sure if i've done something wrong, but this is driving me up the wall!!!! Can anyone please help me??

    Hi, Sometimes the update of the Safari browser disables the Shockwave Flash plugin. Look into the HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ directory and see if you have: Make sure it is Enabled.
        Flash Player.plugin
    Hope that helps,

  • Flash Player 11.9 not working after downloaded

    I have downloaded, removed, restarted my computer and redownloaded the latest version of Flash Player. I have cleared the cache and deleted the history. I see that adobe.com recognizes that I have the latest version but when I click on a yahoo news story or other video website it seems that Flash Player is not recognized? It tells me to download Flash Player on my computer. Also, when I search for Flash Player on my computer I can not find it unless I go to the "unistall program" section. I have tried everything I know of. Please help and thank you!!

    Also, when I search for Flash Player on my computer I can not find it unless I go to the "unistall program" section.
    That's because it's a plugin and NOT a program. You can find it in C/Windows/System32/Macromed and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed. But if it's in your programs list in the Control Panel's Uninstall a Program section, and you can find the Global Settings manager [Flash Player (32bit)] in the System and Security section of the Control Panel, it's installed.
    Yahoo is one of about a dozen MAJOR sites that have had massive problems with IE11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • About in tears from new adobe flash player 10.3 not working

    After installing the new Adobe Flash 10.2.153.1 on my Windows7 64 bit computer, it can not be found when using my IE8 (does not show 32 or 64 bit only 256-bit).
    I have uninstalled using your reference on "please read: when asking Flash Player questions" and then reinstalled. It is on the programs list as installed but when I go to a site that needs me to use Adobe Flash it says I need it install it. Whn I go to the adobe web site to verify that I have installed Adobe Flash it only has a box with a small red x in the corner.
    I have updated my devices drivers.  I do not completely understand what a "kill-bit" is; however, I have gone into my registry and there is no registry keys that have {d27....etc}. There are many other numbers and most have a compatibilty flag of 0x00000400. So I must not have a "kill-bit" for Flash Player set. Not sure what that means.
    Can you help me? And have I given you enough info?
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    FYI - have uninstalled adobe flash player since we last replied should I try to install again?
    I have checked this too and
    *Shockwave Flash Object installed and Enabled. version 11.5.7.
    * Yes at medium now (was at med high)
    * have mcafee but just installed tonight your recommended microsoft security essentals (did a quick scan tonight)
    * C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash - FlashInstall (txt file) and Install (txt file)
    * No error messages - was told it was installed successfully
    thanks!

  • Adobe Flash Player Installer Will Not Work

    As the title suggests, my adobe flash player will not install on my Mac Book Pro.
    About 3 weeks ago my computer started saying I needed to upgrade my Flash Player for it to watch videos. So I tried.
    I went to Adobe.com and tried installing the Flash player, the file its self downloads fine, but when I try to run the installer It gets stuck at 30% every. Single. Time.
    I tried uninstalling Flash player, turning plug ins on and off, no luck.
    I was running 10.8.5 OS the other day on my mac, and decided to upgrade to OS Yosemite today to see if that would solve the issue, no luck.
    I'm all out of ideas, please help.

  • IPhone 5c microphone not working, and I've tried everything

    I have an iPhone 5c. For the past week, the microphone has not worked and nobody at the Verizon Store, Apple Store, or at a third-party Apple specialist can figure it out. Here are the steps I have done. I would love for additional input from you experts.
    First, please note the following:
    - iPhone 5c is 18 months old (purchased Dec. 1, 2013)
    - It has been protected with an Otter Box entire time
    - I do not believe water has gotten into the unit, though I have dropped it a couple of times (Again, Otter Box). After each time, it was not apparent of any lack of performance, and I have not dropped it since January 2015.
    Problem: There is no response from phone when I speak into microphone. Nor can anyone on the other end of a phone call hear me if I speak into the microphone.
    1. Went to the Verizon Store - service guy said that it is probably a dead mic. Recommends that I go to the Apple Store.
    2. Went to the Apple Store - looked at it for 5 minutes, said probably a dead mic. Apple Store says not sure of the problem, but it is sure it can not fix it, I am told I should buy a new phone. Go back to Verizon Store.
    3. Went back to the Verizon Store - service guy tests it out again. Headphone mic will not work. However, Bluetooth DOES work. I can communicate to phone and to other people that call me through a Bluetooth headset. Verizon Store guy recommends a third-party Apple specialist that will replace microphone for $50.
    4. Went to a Third-Party Apple repair shop - Tried two separate microphones, did not work (though did clean microphone area). Suggested I reset phone because there is probably a software issue.
    5. Go home - backed up everything, reset phone, and restored from iTunes. No change.
    So, anyone have any thoughts on what I should do now? Thanks much!

    sounds like the controller on the motherboard has gone bad, if so, that would require a motherboard replacement.
