Flash player 12 is installed on win7, but not recognized by IE9 or Firefox26 as a plug-in

I have several windows 7 pcs that have Flash 12 installed (can see them in list of programs in control panel). Flash was working fine until last version 11. Now even though Windows shows Flash 12 as installed, IR9 and Firefox 26 don't see it. I don't see a Shockwave Player add-on to enable or disable in either browser. When I go to the Adobe test flash web page, it shows that flash is not installed, but recognizes my browser and OS fine. I updated my display drivers per forum suggestions but of course not helpful in this case. I used an MSI installer from Adobe to try to rule out permissions as a problem, but same issue.
I went through all the help documentation already available, but don't pretain to my situation since I am not getting any error messages. What makes it even crazier is that a few of the machines on my network have Flash working just fine. They are identical in hardware and software as the ones with Flash not working. I am at a dead end. Any new suggestions would be appreciated.

What you see in the Control Panel is the "Global Settings Manager" which can and does remain even if the Flash Player isn't working or is partially removed. Where you need to look for the Flash Player is C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash (on 64 bit systems).
Unfortunately I don't deal with MSI or network installs, but I'll pass this along to another member who has experience with them, and get you a good working link for both installers.

  • Flash player works on https web sites but not on http web sites ?

    Flash player works on https web sites but not on http web sites ?
    I've tryed a lot of things to solve this problem but impossible to find the solution.
    - re-instal flash player
    - disable the firewall (windows)
    - disable the firewall and the antivirus (bitdefender)
    I test my computer on an other internet provider and everything works correctly
    I test an other computer on my internet connection and everything works correctly.
    The problem comes from my computer on my internet connection.
    I'll appreciate a solution.
    Thank you.

    This is what you should see under "plugins" in Opera:
    Make sure Flash Player is listed and enabled.
    It comes from the same place as the plug-in for Firefox, so one won't work if the other doesn't.
    If that doesn't work, try a clean install. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4041846

  • Flash player won't install for adminstrator, but will for child accounts

    I use the Family Safety on our computer.  We have accounts for our child, self (as administrator), and guests.  Flash player shows as installed and works on the child and guest accounts.  But, it does not appear as installed on my administrator account.  We use McAfee for protection, but that doesn't seem to be the problem.  I have tried installing and uninstalling several times. I have tried installing using internet explorer and firefox.  We have windows 7.  I don't know what to do.  It used to be installed.

    Administrator account: there is no flash player listed in the Manage Add-ons list.  Adobe Shockwave Flash Object is enabled.  When I choose to look at all add ons, ActiveX shows up and is also enabled.
    Standard Account: there is no flash player listed in the manage add-ons list.  Adobe shockwave flash object and activeX are both enabled.
    I looked in the "all add ons list" for both accounts, and there is not flash player plug in.  But flash player works in the standard account.  Am I missing a plugin?
    Just to try it I enabled a google toolbar.  Flash player still doesn't work.
    Thank you.

  • Flash player is installed in Win7 but not working

    I am working on a Win7 64-bit system and I can't get flash player to work. I am using Internet explorer 8 32-bit. Looking at the add ons I see Adobe Shockwave but not Flash Player. In the windows\syswow64\macromed\flash I have these files:
    flash10o.ock
    flashinstall.log
    flashplayer.xpt
    flashutil10o_activex.dll
    flashutil10o_activex.exe
    flashutil10o_plugin.exe
    install.log
    npswf32.dll
    I have installed, uninstalled. Used a support page from Adobe "Latest version of Flash Player doesn't display video". Still no luck. I downloaded and installed Firefox 4. Installed Flash Player and it works. I looked and the 'kill-bit' is not installed on this pc.
    Whatever you can do to help will be appreciated.

    Hi again, Since you have Norton and SAS, there may be a conflict between them.
    What version of SAS do you have Installed? Even the Free version has Realtime Protection that would be running at the same time that Norton is. And unless you Disabled both of these when running the MBAM scanner, you may not have received a clean scan from MBAM.
    What type of Malware was found and which program found it? Let me know this.
    At this time, I would suggest that you Disable Norton & SAS. Then update MBAM and run a full scan, or at least a quick scan.
    Close all browser windows before doing this, so there will be no interference from Norton & SAS.
    Do that first and then let me know the results of the MBAM scan.
    I'm trying to determine what is causing the Shockwave Flash Object not to Install.
    Thanks,

  • Flash Player 11 Supports Win 7 64, but not Vista 64?

    I use Windows Vista 64-bit, and I've been enjoying using the beta versions, and release candidate, of Flash Player 11. I've been using the 64-bit ActiveX version, and it has worked excellently with IE9 64-bit. When I found out that Flash Player 11 was finally released, I quickly went to the download page to download it. When I got there, and noticed that Vista 64 is not supported, I was very disappointed. Why would Adobe do this, when the pre-release versions work perfectly fine with Vista 64?

    Well, is there any Adobe programs you don't have? LOL, maybe I should have asked that:-) Thanks for the info. It is revealing and curious as well.
    You have the Adobe Flash Player plugin (non-IE browsers-FF), but not the Shockwave Flash Control in your browser plugins.
    You don't have the Adobe Flash Player ActiveX in Add/Remove, but you DO have the Shockwave Flash Object Control in your IE browser. Hmmmm How or why that happened, I don't know. Some glitch when Uninstalling/Installing FP, I would guess.
    I see the Adobe download Manager as well (DLM) and can see that you would need that for certain Adobe programs. Since Flash Player is a browser plugin(ActiveX for IE and Plugins for the non-IE browsers) and the download is under 3MB it is better not to use it. However, I am more interested in the addons that the DLM used for FP Installs.
    Go to Tools, Manage addons and look under "Show"(light text) in all categories and see if you have a getplus, get_atlcom Class or a DLM Control listed. Look in the Toolbar & Extensions also.
    Do the same with FF, plugins, addons and extensions.
    On the FlashPlayerTrust, go back to your Flash files, right click on it and open and see what files are listed.
    Let me know on the above and did I ask you what Anti-Virus you use? If not, let me know that also.

    Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.
    You can safely give us a snapshot of your model and its current config that will allow us to deternmmine your model and its upgrade potential, plus show it you have any software that may impede any upgrades. Please download and install this free utility:

    flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

  • Adobe Flash Player 10 when installed closes the whole computer as soon as it is selected to 'play' a video clip from U Tube or any other source, I have uninstalled it and the problem goes away but I cannot play the clip.any answers?

    Adobe Flash Player 10, when installed, closes the whole computer when it is used to play any clip from U Tube or other source. I uninstalled it and there was no further trouble but, of course, I cannot view the clip. If I reinstall it the same problem persists. I have contacted my 'computer guru' but his comment is that many of his clients have the same problem but it appears to be a problem with Adobe however many other friends have put in the version 10 Flash Player and have no problems. I do not appear to have any other problems with the computer such as viruses etc and it is scanned very day for such items. I would appreciate any advice you can give as it is very annoying, thanks, RAB

    Me too!
    On both IE8 and Firefox. Win 7 32 bit on IBM T42 - 1GB ram.
    Old laptop I know but the 10.1.x.x Flash Players worked just fine. Problem started with 10.2.152.26 flash player.
    Now BBC TV live and iPlayer work just fine, however YouTube does not - audio but no video. Just a black rectangle where the video should be.
    Right click to get the menu and "settings" is greyed out. However select the pop-out option and the video plays. Right click on the pop-out and "settings" is available. So deselect "enable hardware acceleration", close the pop-out and refresh the window (F5) and now YouTube videos play. Switch hardware acceleration back on and now they don't.
    This video works fine with hardware acceleration enabled. http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/features/video/h264/
    These also work. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/stagevideo.html
    Something broken in 10.2, I think.

  • Flash Player is pre-installed in Google Chrome, but not enabled. Flash Player is not there among the plug-ins.

    Flash Player is pre-installed in Google Chrome (Windows7), but not enabled and it is also not there among the list of plug-ins.

    As we don't have any control over the installation process on Chrome, you'd need to seek help in the Chrome forums.
    That said, this seems very odd.
    Type the following in the address bar:
    chrome://plugins/
    Click Details and expand the list.
    Scroll down, and you should be able to find Adobe Flash Player in the list.
    If it's not there, I'd remove Chrome and just download it again from Google.
    Also, do you have any security or privacy software (maybe from a not-so-mainstream vendor?) that might helpfully remove Flash Player for you?

    Ever since I installed MAVERICK, nothing now works, Flash Player won't run, printer works but scanner will not and the computer runs so slow.  Any help anywhere?

    wqn02h, first thing I would do is use Disk utility to repair permissions. Once this is done. Make sure you have the latest versions of the software you use. Also, check the manufacter of your printer/scanner for updated software. If they don't have updated software there are 3rd party alternatives that will work.
