Flash Player 11 Shows sucessful installation, but does not work

I have installed FLASH PLAYER 11 on a VISTA system using IE9.
I get a sucessfull installation when it is finished installing. But I can not view any Videos. I get the message that  need to install the FLASH PLAYER to view the video.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the version as well as the 10.1 version with no sucess.
When I look at the CONTROL PANEL I see the FLASH PLAYER symbol. But when I goto the Programs and Features to uninstall it I do not see anything in the SIZE box
I also do not see the FLASH PLAYER 11 in any of the All Programs folders.
I tried to follow all of the online trouble shooting procedures to no avail.

some people are having issues with the adobe download page.  we ask that you download the uninstaller and  installer directly from the links from this page: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3952360
run the uninstaller
restart your machine
run the installer
if you have a 64-bit system, you will only need to download the 64-bit installer.   it will install 32-bit binaries also...

  • FLASH PLAYER 10.3.183.7  DOES NOT WORK IN FULLSCREEN

    FAO:  Mr CHRIS CAMPBELL
    Hello Chris
    You're probably getting this from all angles but the newest update to Flash Player  (10.3.183.7)   JUST DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY.
    I keep my browsers up to date and as of today (5 Sept 2011)  Flash  WORKS in "small pane in browser" mode (for example, in Youtube)  BUT GOES BLANK AS SOON AS FULLSCREENED.
    Note that overlay captions and the pause / play graphics DO all work - it is only the video decompression that doesn't - leave screen blank and black.
    This is BOTH in FireFox 7.0  and in latest Google Chrome:  I have carefully uninstalled & replaced Flash form the links you posted here and IT STILL DOES NOT WORK in fullscreen.
    You really should NOT release new version of auto-updating code like this that are not properly tested:  this has mucked up video viewing for millions of people needlessly.
    Is it because of the new accelerator support ?   who knows.    This is a mid-life Toshiba Satellite Pro   (we don't all go out and buy new PCs every ten weeks like you developers do)  and it has a P4 and standard onboard Intel 82852 graphics: perfectly fine up to last week.     But it has 64MB of graphics space and I see that 10.3.183.7  now "requires"   128MB ?       You just cannot make assumptions like that :  I bet there are  50 million plus PCs out there with 64MB (or less) VGA RAM.  
    Adobe is a lovely product,  but this is a complete and utter  bal*ls-up  as we in the UK call it:      please excuse my anglo-saxon directness.    Sort it out, please.
    Mike,  London,  exasperated
     

    Hi Chris
    Thanks for your rapid feedback.
    YES  -  you are right  - turning off hardware accelerate FIXES it on this machine.   
    (For anyone else trying this,  note that if your PC is busy you may not be able to get the Right-click menu to work while the video is displaying,  so PAUSE it first,  then right click in the pane,   choose "Settings",  and UNtick the hardware acceleration tickbox.  Then unpause, and bob's your uncle.)
    Interesting:  Chris -  I also notice that   Not All Videos Do it     -  some are fine (adverts seem to be,  on youtube)  -  but this (below) is an example of the one which will not fullscreen with the HW acceleration on  (nice watching, too  :-)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb3VWZj_I6g&list=PL0F01AFE18471E7B8&index=1
    NB  Might it have anything to do with the transcoding YouTube are supposedly doing,  over to VP8 ?     I wonder if they change the content of the stream,  when you choose fullscreen perhaps ?   And so perhaps confusing the HW accelerator which may not know VP8 ?
    Thanks again for rapid response.   GOOD LUCK ALL

  • Flash Player installs but does not work in Firefox

    I have installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled latest Flash Player. It says installing is complete but I cannot view any of the videos that require it. I get the msg that I need to install latest version.

    There's two different versions of Flash, ActiveX for IE and the Plugin version for other browsers.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

  • Flash player says its installed but is not working- please read

    Hey everyone!
    the past few days I have easily spent several hours working with my flash player. First- it was saying I needed to put in the latest version, so I did, it said it worked but when I tried to watch videos or play a game etc I got an error message saying I needed flash player 11. and I went through that process countless times. I restarted my computer, ran my virus software, etc. when none of that worked I just disabled and trashed ALL of the software I had downloaded since I had had the problem including my current flash player and adobe. Just now, I tried to install the flash player again. It seemed to work great- it said it installed and I clicked finnish... but, behold, I go to watch a video for school and I have the same problem. I tried to change the computer type to the otehr windows 7 option for the download, again it seemed to work fine and downloaded and told me it was finished... but I still can't view my video or do any games etc online. I have worked with the IT department at school and with family... no one can figure it out. it should be working as far as we are all concerned...but it is not and I have school work to do.
    If someone could please help me I would much appriciate it! if this is a glitch with some adobe thing- PLEASE fix it asap. I have work to do!
    Thanks!

  • Latest Flash player 11.8.800.94 does not work

    I can view youtube videos however I am unable to view certain websites. It just comes up with a black screen when loading the media. BBC Iplayer is a prime example. I have the latest flash, it is updated and has been installed and uninstalled repeatedly. I have started firefox in safe mode and it is the same problem. I have cleared the flash player cache. Also my screensaver, has just stopped working and it keeps saying flash player is not installed, even though it is....is this part of the same issue?
    Thank you very much for your help

    Hi Tony, what are you reinstalling -- Firefox or Flash? That shouldn't be necessary.
    Firefox logs data for Flash crashes, and you can submit that data to Mozilla's crash database. If you do that, then there is a crash ID you can post here for volunteers to review and see whether they can spot any obvious issues. This article (last section) describes how to track down and share those crash IDs: [[Firefox crashes]].

  • Flash Player seems to install, but will not function

    Flash Player installs but does not work.  When I go to the troubleshooting website (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html), the box does not fill with information.  If I right click where the box should be however, the menu shows the version and acts as if AFP is installed.  I cannot select settings, but can select global settings.  The global settings dialog box will open.
    I am using AFP version 11.7.700.169, using IE 9, and running Windows 7.  I have 2 other PCs, and both are running the program fine.  So far, I have tried many things to troubleshoot with no luck.
    So far:
    -Complete uninstall, using the Adobe uninstaller.  I have deleted the folders and content as well, shut down, and tried reinstall.
    -I have deleted the registry entry and also tried setting it to zero located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}. 
    -I am using Norton 360, and have tried an install with all services stopped (Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, Auto protect, etc)
    -I have verified Active X filtering is not checked in IE.
    -Active X and Scripting options in IE>Tools>Internet Options are enabled and mirror the selections on the two working PCs.
    -I have tried to uninstall and reinstall an earlier version of AFP with no luck.
    -Shockwave Flash Object Addon is enabled.
    Screen shot is included to show what happens on the redirect screen after I install AFP.
    I am out of ideas and would appreciate any help on this.
    Thanks!

    I'm a little disappointed in the forums - no responses.  I'm happy to share I found the issue, and am sharing the solution in case others have the same problem.  The interesting thing is the setting that I changed is different on the two working computers.  In IE9 navigate to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced and the first check box under Accelerated Graphics...check it.  Restart IE and voila, it is fixed.  The other two PCs I am using have this box unchecked and AFP works fine...odd.

  • Adobe flash player downloads but does not work

    Hi,
    When I download the flash player is says to click on active x and I do and allow and then it downloads and says complete but does not work when I try to watch you tube videos.  It says download flash player which I have already done.  Please help.

    You should see a flash animation if the Flash player was installed properly.  That you aren't seeing it means that it hasn't been.
    Adobe has a link to a troubleshooting page:

    See if BNN has an app in the app store or do without.
    Adobe does not make a flash player for ipod/ipad/iphone and likely never will.

    my adobe captivate6 installs but does not run on my windows7 dell inspiron with 4gb ram and 500gb hdsk, i downloaded the trial first 32bit and it installed fine and didnt run. so i thought that a full version with a 64bit installation will do the trick, but after that the captivate 6 did not still work on my system. i also tried it on an acer with duo core and the captivate software installed and did not still work. it only shows the captivate flash screen.
    a friend installed his on an acer laptop 64bit, i3processor, and it works fine. please i will be glad if i can be helped on how to correct this

    Have you tried right clicking on the Cp icon and selecting Run as Administrator?  This is something you MUST do in Win7 but was not necessary on Xp.

  • How do I download Adobe Flash Player for a computer that does not have internet?

    How do I download Adobe Flash Player for a computer that does not have internet?

    Hello Walter,
    that's it, usually you get and Adobe Flash Player Installer only.  For a distribution in a company, or an installation on a PC without internet access, Adobe has available an offline installer. This installer you don't need to uncompress it first. You can download the installation file from there (you must logged in with your Adobe ID): http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

  • Moved 8.1 - Nodemanager starts but does not work... SSL problem..

    Hello!
    We moved our weblogic 8.1 installation to a new production machine (which used to be very easy with weblogic 5.1) but of course, it didn't work because of the SSL demo certificates which were tied to the old server name. It dumped the following line on the log and refused to work:
    ...Certificate chain received from localhost - 127.0.0.1 failed hostname verification check
    We changed our demo certificates as stated in the documentation (certgen, keytool...) and now it starts ok but does not work either. Now we are seeing the following expection on the logs:
    weblogic.nodemanager.NodeManagerException: [SecureCommandInvoker: Could not create SSL Socket Factory, reason - java.lang.NullPointerException]

    I have seen this myself moving domains to a different server. The way I got around it was to set the Hostname Verification for the admin and managed servers to None. This is done via the admin console, SSL tab, Advanced.
