Flash Player 10.3 won't stay loaded?

Hi, I have XP Media Center Edition SP3, and recently had a catastrophic software failure. I had to reinstall windows over itself in the same directory. Since then, a few things don't work quite right. One of them is, almost every time I reboot my computer, shortly thereafter I get the notice that Adobe Flash Player 10.3 upgrade is available. I accept it, install it, and all seems fine, until sometime after my next reboot, and it asks the same question again. I think I've installed it about 4 times now. is there something in the registry that could be corrupted keeping this program from registering it has been upgraded? I also noticed that in internet explorer, some buttons on some web pages won't work (like Ebay). Some links do work, but some others don't do anything. I load Firefox, and the entire page works fine. I'm not sure if that's a flash issue or not.
Thanks.

Solved
Flush did the trick. Safari and Firefox both now show video's from http://www.vancouversun.com/
I had tried suggestions from many prior threads such as: enabling popups, allowing 3rd party cookies, uninstal / re-install Flash, manually deleting LSO cookies in Library / preferences / macromedia / flashplayer, clearing history & cookies via preferences -- nothing worked.
All is now normal. Plus I've gone back to blocking popups and 3rd party cookies and videos keep playing.
Cheers

Flash player 9 installation won't stay

OS: FedoraCore 6
Kernel: 2.6.18.2798.fc6
Browser: Firefox 2.0.0.2
Desktop: KDE 3.5.4
1st of all, FlashPlayer is working correctly in every way
that I have used it so far...
...but the problem is that I need to copy plugin and
component files over and over again to browser folders.
Test page (and every other page that have flash) shows blank
(instead of missing plugin) in the space that should be filled with
flash content. So, it seems that browser "knows" that flash has
been installed. The files are in their correct folder, but still I
need to copy them again or plugin won't work.
When I copy (those 2 needed) files in their folders, test
page (and others) show that installation is correct. But, when I
log out and back in again, flash won't work and have to copy files
again.
Needles to say this is quite annoying. Is there any solution
to this...

Still have not found a solution to this.
Only one user is affected by this problem ie. me.
Luckily I have root access, so I can copy the file myself.
Still it is quite annoying to do it everytime I need to use
flash.

I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
What can I do ..??

After installing the latest version of adobe flash player, my internet won't work properly.

I'm not sure if anyone can help, but you might know of where or who else I can ask. I have Mac 10.4.11 and yesterday my internet was working fine. My computer had just performed an automatic firefox update, as is usual. When firefox restarted it suggested that I update my adobe flash player, which I was pretty sure could use an update. So I did. I downloaded and installed the latest version. SINCE then my internet has been doing strange things. It often acts like I've lost my internet connection - I open a new tab or type a new address into the browser and it won't do anything or go anywhere. It doesn't tell me that I've lost my internet connection. It's like something's blocking it because it doesn't even attempt to load the new page or website. And I know that I haven't lost my internet connection. I have to quit firefox completely, and then re-open it for it to work, and even then it will only work for a few minutes at the most. I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it.

Try relaunching Safari and/or logging out/into your Mac.
Then browse to this Adobe page to verify you have the latest version of Flash installed -> http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 (latest) does not load video on some sites

Since updating the Flash player to 10,1,82,76 many sites with flash video does not load content and usually stays black or showing a loading icon forever. Same result in all browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox).
One example is revision3.com, where flash video never loads. However, flash video loads fine on youtube.com for instance. I have been trying to uninstall, reboot, repair permissions and install again with the no success.
Anyone experienced this and found a solution?
Thanks!

Odd. Revision3 works fine for me. In fact the opening shot of the video I tested is someone sitting at a desk with an Apple Macbook!
As you get the same error in all browsers, try uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player:
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Flash player crashes on multiple websites. doesnt load up the webplayer

I was viewing www.liveleak.com watching many videos perfectly fine. I left to take a break for awhile and now any time i attempt to watch a video it will crash. The whole page will load up except the flash player. As soon as it attempts to load up the flash player whichever browser i am using will crash. No video on www.liveleak.com will load for me. Its the same with some other websites (youtube works fine for some reason) Ive tried everything to fix it. Ive tried
- Re-installing flash
- Trying multiple internet browsers
- Going into the flash settings_manager and adjusting multiple settings
The only way ive fixed this problem (i had it in the past) was to format my harddrive + re-install windows. I dont wana do this again!!!
Any ideas what is going wrong?

I am back from my break (admittedly, it was a short break), but I can still view videos on liveleak.com; try a complete uninstall as follows
download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157 (save to disk);
download the offline installers
for Internet Explorer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe (save to disk);
for all other browsers http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe (save to disk);
close all browser windows, run the downloaded uninstaller, followed by the appropriate installer(s).
Does it work again now?

Flash Player 11 plugin failure on page load(32 bit, WinXP, FireFox 11)

Hello,
New forum user here - however, I must ask: why is the Flash Player plugin failing whenever a Flash object is loaded?
Before you say anything, bear in mind that I HAVE checked the Adobe help files on "My Flash player plugin crashed" and so on, as well as the Mozilla plugin check. Many times over.
Here are the specific versions:
Windows XP Professional 32-bit
Firefox 11.0
Flash Player plugin 11.2.202.233
A few other things I've tried:
- Running on Safari, Chrome, IE 8, etc. Most of the time, the browser crashes.
- Downgrading to Flash Player plugin ver. 10.3. Nada, plugin still crashes.
(I'm using YouTube to test plugin functionality.)
Finally, I'd like to note that I've also tried reinstalling, uninstalling, deleting AppData folders, deleting Program Files files, etc. Still, nothing.
This problem only started to occur today, if I recall correctly.
If there's some sort of method to recover a crash report, please post and I'll be more than glad to produce a report.
Thanks,
dud95

Never mind, found a solution to the problem. Feel free to lock.

Flash Player Settings box Won't Close

Hi! I'm using windows 7, Internet Explorer. For months now nearly every time I try to watch a video the "adobe flash player settings" box pops up with the "allow/deny" screen. Whichever I click, the box won't go away. The whole video will play with that box right in the middle, blocking the screen. How do I close this box? I can't even move it out of the way.
I've searched for an answer, but apparently I'm the only one in the world with this problem because I can't find this topic when I search on google or yahoo.

The problem is related to our anti-clickjacking logic. Because there are pixels changing around the dialog, we think that something may be obscuring the dialog when you click, so we don't register it as valid.
The dialog is coming up because you've set a non-default setting in Flash (probably restricting the ability of sites to store Local Shared Objects on your computer). The easiest way to get around this problem is to just get rid of the dialog entirely by allowing LSOs. You can do this by going to Control Panel > Flash Player > Storage> Allow sites to save information on this computer.
This control comes from way back in the '90s, when marketers were abusing this capability of Flash to track consumer behavior by storing unique identifiers. While this technique is still used to some degree, the capabilities of HTML5 and server-side fingerprinting have far outstripped Flash's usefulness as a tracking technology for marketers in both ease and resilience. So, while you can still disable LSOs on your computer, it offers you very little in terms of privacy in 2015, and it degrades the user experience significantly.
Instead, when you do want to use Flash Player without accumulating information that might later be used to track you, use your browser's Private/Incognito browsing mode. Flash Player will still be allowed to store things on your computer (so the content runs as expected with no degradation in the experience), but it all goes into a temporary location that's destroyed when you exit the browsing session.

Flash player for safari won't download

Flash Player for Safari 7.04 won't download. It's not an antivirus issue because it's turned off, everything is enabled.

Chris,
My problem was that while the installer downloaded, the installation process always crapped out and gave me this error message: "Error: Unable to proceed with the installation". Tried everything and none of it worked. I COULD download v12 of Flash, but noticed that it used a different style of installer that has a simpler, "chunkier" progress bar and overall look, and doesn't ask about whether Flash should check for updates automatically until AFTER the install was done (different from the standard v14 installer, which has a skinnier progress bar and prompts you about auto updates before most of the installation happens).
Just saw your post, downloaded the installer from the macromedia link you provided, and it installed fine! Superfast. Done and done.
In doing so, however, I noticed that the alt version of the v14 Flash installer from your link also has the same simpler, chunkier type of installer as v12. is there a know problem with the standard (skinny progress bar) version of the installer and Mavericks? This has happened before, and I'm now just realizing that the installs only ever work with the "alt" style of installer.
a) Is Adobe aware of this problem? are they working to make a fix so that i don't have to pull my hair out everytime there's a new security update for Flash?
b) Would you please consider posting your solution in a more obvious place? I'm betting there are a lot of other Mac users having this issue, but because Adobe help can be sort of a byzantine mess (not you, obviously, but the system itself) I'm betting there are a ton of Mac users that are just giving up, like I almost did. Making this issue known, and positing the alt download will save many people many hours of grief.
Thanks for posting your solution!
Cheers,
M

Upgraded flash player, now it won't work (Win7 64bit, IE9)

I upgraded Flash Player last night, and now it won't work, period. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling ad nauseum, but to no avail. Based on some of the troubleshooting information, it looks like it's not appearing in IE's list of add-ons, but I don't know how to fix it so that it does - the install insists it's successful every time.
Anyone know what's going on?

If I go to the versions page, it wants me to install Adobe Flash (again), regardless of how many times I've run the installation before.
