Flash Player 10 Settings Problem

We're having a widespread problem. We cannot change any
settings in Flash Player 10. The player installs and runs fine, and
we can access the settings menu and global settings manager, but
changes never "stick", always reverting to their former settings.
We do not have this issue with Flash Player 9.
We are using IE6 on WinXP Pro (32 bit).
Has anyone else seen this with IE6 or does anyone have any
ideas what could cause this in Flash 10, but not 9?

just found something special. When we use Desktop redirection
with windows XP SP3, the desktop folder is deleted in the
Userprofile.
When I take process monitor and get what happening with
flash, it keeps searching for the %userprofile%\desktop
If I create manually the folder in the userprofile, the
settings of FP10 are saved.
we first realized this problem by browsing the website
http://kuler.adobe.com
if you have no desktop folder, you can't log on the web site
and there is some problem on it.

Adobe Flash Player Settings Problem

Hi I'm having problems selecting things inside of "Adobe
Flash Player Settings."
When ever i right click on a flash instance, say a youtube
video and select settings, I get no response from box that appears
no matter where I click. Even when I click close I get no response.
I have a Mac Book Pro running os 10.4.11
I have the newest version of Flash Player 10
I have Java 5
I have tried this in both Firefox and Safari
When I created a new account on my computer and opened
youtube i was able to change settings inside of panel.
Any help would be wonderful I have googled and searched these
forums a million times looking for help and have found nothing
helpful

TWEAK DISCOVERED for Flash Player 10 to save local settings!!
I was digging around in:
~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com/bin/fpupdatepl/
and I discovered:
Adobe Flash Player.pkg
If you Right Click (or Control + Click) the Package and then select 'Show Package Contents' this will open a new window.
Then navigate to:
Contents/Resources/
There you will find a file:
Adobe Flash Player.info
Open this file with text edit (or your app of choice)
On about the fourth line from the bottom look for:
OverwritePermissions NO
Change this to:
OverwritePermissions YES
A NOTE OF CAUTION
I have not fully tested this change, but did find that after I modified the local settings for the Flash Player, then restarted Safari that the settings remained the same.
Good Luck!

No prompt to update when Flash Player Settings Manager is set to check for updates automatically

My understading of http://forums.adobe.com/message/3562892#3562892 (March 2011) is that when an outdated version of the Player is used on Windows, the prompt to update should occur after the next restart of the operating system.
So, when http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ in Safari for Windows shows an outdated version 10.x of the Player:
I restart Windows
I log on
I wait a few minutes.
Problem
Usually, no matter how long I wait, there is no prompt to update; Flash Player Settings Manager continues to show an outdated plug-in alongside a greater version of the ActiveX item.
I see this problem with multiple computers running Windows XP and Windows 7.
Any suggestions?

Flash Player checks for updates every 7 days. The NCP doesn’t change this. Where the user in that post is getting confused is that only after Flash Player detected an update (on average 3.5 days after a new version is released), the dialog will appear after a restart.

Can't Left Click in Flash Player Settings Panel - HELP PLEASE

Hi and thanks for taking the time to read this. Believe me it is a fraction of the time I have wasted trying to resolve this issue.
Basic problem is:
I am trying to stream to Ustream but since downloading AFP11 for my Windows PC when I open the Flash Player Settings panel i can't left click on anything. It is set to deny but I can't click allow, or close or any of the icons.
Right click does work.
I have followed countless instructions in other forums from other posts that have encountered the problem on Mac and older versions of AFP but as yet none of the solutions have proven succesul.
I have tried all of the following but nothing has resolved the problem.
1. Uninstall and reinstall Adobe Flash Player (although this is impossible using Google Chrome) and restart computer.
2. Unistall flash and install older version. (made no difference on Google Chrome and on IE8 had no flash whatsoever).
5. Uninstall older AFP and reinstall AFP11.
4. Uninstall Google Chrome and restart computer.
5. Uninstall QuickTime (I got this off http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f10/flash-player-not-working-properly-please-help-1 61552.html) and restart computer
6. Last resort use keyboard shortcuts such as tab, enter and ctrl+arrows. This either didn't highlight the panel at all or if it did I still couln't select allow, or close the panel itself so was no help either.
So now I'm back to square one.
Now here's a really bizarre thing... I am using a shared laptop computer and if I use my colleagues profile where she hasn't updated her AFP to Adobe Flash Player 11 the settings panel is responding just fine. IT'S THE SAME PC!
I know I am alone with this problem but someone out there has an answer. If you can help please let me know how to fix this problem where I can't left click in the Adobe Flash Player settings panel.and I will be eternily grateful.
many thanks
nik

OK the amount I hate myself right now is more than a fat guy's self loathing for raiding the fridge at 2am for Pizza but less than an armed robber who's accidentally shot a pregnant woman in the stomach during a shootout. but not much less.
So after I had miraculously got the Flash Player Setting Panel to work again, (after deleting QuickTime and leaving the window open for abut an hour it just started working again) I then got enticed into downloading the ustream producer software.
While downloading it informed me that it would only work with QuickTime.
Stupidly and Optimistically hoping it would remove the need to use flash player altogether I downloaded and installed both.
I then discovered to my horror that Ustream producer is not a patch on Vidbalster and that it was not capable of delivering the same level of broadcast.
I then opened the flash player settings panel on ustream and... the problem has returned!
This means I am 99% sure that QuickTime IS the cause of the problem so I have uninstalled QT off the PC. I have also uninstalled Ustream Producer.
The thing is though, now no matter how many times I restart, or uninstall and reinstall Adobe, or Google Chrome, I am once again UNABLE TO LEFT CLICK IN THE FLASH PLAYER SETTINGS PANEL. AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
What did I do? I fixed it and f***ing broke it again!
Now it properly will not come back to life! the problem is not solved and i urgently need help.
Why does Adobe Flash Player Settings Panel and Apple QuickTime hate each other so much that they've got to ruin my life?
Help forum PLEASE!
Regards,
nik

Trying to access Flash Player Settings Manager always asks to install but I already have it installe

I am trying to access Flash player website settings manager. I link from a browser to the settings manager but instead of a panel there is a download required to get latest Flash Player which I already have. I download it successfully. Windows 7 control panel has Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX 64-bit. When I link again, I get the same message to download flash player as if I never did it before. What am I missing? There is also Flash Player (32-bit) icon that invokes Flash Player settings manager.Is this the best I can do to get the website storage settings? My ultimate goal is to remove Flash player cookies which I learned about today to be a problem. Thanks.

If you want to temporarily remove Flash Player LSO's(cookies), just delete the browser's temporary files. If you want to permanently remove LSO's, go to your control panel and activate the Flash Player Settings Manager. Change the Local Storage Settings to Block all sites from storing information on this computer. However, most sites with Flash Player videos will not work with this setting.

Flash Player having problems while playing online games on OS X Mavericks

i use mbp mid 2010 with os x mavericks 10.9.2 and while playing online games, it usually happens some freezes and delays. when i play same game with same browser on windows 7(bootcamp) there is no freeze and delay. i have made lots of search about this and made some optimizations on flash player settings but the problem continues. i use both chrome and firefox on both mavericks and win7 (bootcamp) but having the same problems on mavericks every time. the game is very slow with freeze and delays on mavericks. will adobe make a real effective upgrade about flash player for macs.

Hmmm... Win 7 will run faster than Mavericks with 8Gb. Even my Vm of 7 runs faster once I get it past all the startup processes.
It may or may not be a connectivity problen since Windows uses a different protocol, even though it's on the same hardware. Usually though, what affects OS X will affect BootCamp too.
What browser?

Flash player youtube problem

Ok guys, this one is a bit more complicated than it sounds. A while back I was using a older version of Fox, I think v 15.xxx and had flash player 11 or 12. When using youtube it looked great. But now I upgraded to the latest firefox and latest flash player. When I watch vids on youtube they look real blurry and pixelated until the 720 hd kicks in. And even then it doesn't look as good and with the older flash player. I checked and my nvidia card doesn't seem to have any effect on either program. Is this a legit problem and which flash player version should I switch back to??

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

The Adobe Flash Player Settings popup is appearing offscreen in my Flex4 app. How do I stop this?

Hey guys,
I have a page with some html content and my Flex app in the bottom left hand corner. At one point, the Adobe Flash Player Settings popup appears, but I can only just see the top of it, the rest is off screen towards the bottom. I set the height of the application in the opening application tag, to 240. The whole app is visible in the HTML page, but for some reason the background colour of the Flex app goes past its height and width properties. This is probably causing the Flash Player Settings popup problems right?
Does anyone know how I can fix this so that the user can interact with the popup? Thanks for reading.

Thanks Mike, Problem continues if I uninstall Adobe Flash
Player....scanning computer now for malware.....amazing that the malware
uses Adobe Flash Player even thought my control panel says the player does
not exist. Adds are not too bad but I do not like something going on out
my control....what else is up??? That kind thing. Will let you know when
problem is solved, best, Allen Bealle

Unable to set Flash Player Settings (Windows)

How to resolve problems with Flash Player Settings; either unable to change anything on the Settings panel, or new settings won't save:
close all browser windows
open Windows Explorer
in the address bar type %appdata%\Adobe
delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there
in the address bar type %appdata%\Macromedia
delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there

Hi, thanks for the screenshots. Your IE & FF Flash files are correct. However, the FlashPlayer Trust, I don't often see. From what I can tell this was something similar to the current Settings Manager, but for FP(Flash Player) 8 & 9 from Macromedia. I don't know if it is conflicting with the current Settings Manager or not. Cannot get a clarification on that.
All I can tell you is that most systems that I see have certain Flash files for FF and other browsers and the FlashPlayer Trust is rarely among them. Usually there are 4 Flash files for IE, 4 for FF plus the Flash Player.xpt.
In the IE add ons, did you find the Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control...Flash10e.ocx (vs 10.0.45.2) and Enabled?
This will be listed as I've typed it except it may or may not list the version #, but everything else will be listed.
Now on the AVG, do you have the AVG free edition? It and the paid versions also have the LinkScanner, which causes problems. You said you Disabled AVG, did you just right click on the icon in the system tray and disable/turn off/exit?
Or did you Untick the Resident Shield active?
The LinkScanner component consists of 2 features and each needs Disabled.
With Spybot, do you use the Tea Timer?
Since FP is a browser plug-in, anything added to the browser has to be considered.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Yes, Adobe's software, known bug. Install the Flash 11 release candidate.

Changing mike in flash player settings

I have found that the only way I can change the mike in flash
player settings is to change the default mike in windows (XP),
change to the mike wanted in flash settings, then re-start the
flash programme from scratch that I want to use the new microphone
in. It then starts up withthe microphone I choose.
I do have another programme which can change the mike simply
through the flashplayer settings box, so there must be a way.
Anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks in advance,
Alan

sorry to take so long to reply - I didnt get a noptify, or I
missed it.
Yeah, I have a choice of three mikes in my drop-down list,
one from a logitech webcam, one from a samson mike on a USB
connection and one from line in via a pre amp. They worked at one
time selecting them from the list, but not now.
The webcams, however, do work from the drop-down list. Any
suggestions welcome...

Adobe Flash Player Settings

When I go to a site that has a video to accompany the story, the Adobe Flash Player Settings window pop up, as depicted in the print screen image below. See below the image to learn of my problem and question.
I don't know how to stop this from popping up. If I hit allow or deny, I can't get rid of the popup. I'm also getting pages that has ad videos, automatically playing the video, which I don't want to happen. How can I get rid of the pop up, and stop the video from automatically playing?

Yep. Open the Control Panel, find the Flash Player icon and adjust the settings on the Storage tab.

Adobe Flash Player Settings on Chrome

I'm trying to understand the settings better and wonder why I have such difficulty changing or applying settings from the Adobe Flash Player Settings Pop-up when I am using Chrome but when I use Firefox or Internet Explorer I have no problem. In Chrome I got to click the crap out of something to get something to change or close. Also the settings pop-up's look different.
Also I noticed the camera settings on Chrome and Internet Explore have an option for Google Camera Adapter 0 and Google Camera Adapter 1. What the heck is Google Camera Adapter, where is it and why do I have two of them

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your prompt response. I found out the Google Camera Adapter is for Google Talk and Google Voice. I may have changed the monitor DPI. I don't think so, but that shouldn't matter. I mean the pop-up window is the same size on all three browsers. I am having this problem while using the following;
TOSHIBA Satellite L305D PSLC8U- 03G01U
FabCam, Version: 1.3 (A Chrome App)
Windows Vista Home Premium Version 6.0 (Build 602: Service Pack 2)
Google Chrome Version 19.0.1084.52 m
Chicony USB 2.0 Camera (Built in)
I think I have this issue on other applications as well. I'll try another and see if thats true

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.
