Flash player "disappers" after install

I have Windows7 32bit all up to date but then I go to the Adobe website
and initiate Flash install. All appears normal. But when
IE or Opera try to access it the program/plugin is nowhere to be found.
Similarly it doesn't show up in Control Panel/Programs and Features
BUT is does show up if I use RevoUninstaller to look for it.
Anybody else had this problem?
(It downloads and runs fine in my ancient WinXP boxes).
thanks,
jim

Cannot find flash player 10 after install: xp pro, IE6, SP2

I have been trying for a week to install Flash Player 10 to no avail. I uninstall and reinstall every time. I have XP Professional Media version, IE6, ans SP2. After install, from which I get no errors and a successful install message, I search for flash player and cannot find it anywhere on my C drive. Any ideas? Is there still a problem with trying to install with IE? Thanks for your help and support.

Flash Player is a browser plugin, not an installed application. It's not designed to work as a standalone app for opening FLV or SWF. It's designed to play SWF content inside a web page inside your browser.
Now, if you must open local content then you can either open those using File: Open in your browser, or you can get the FLash Player 10 Standalone player from the archived players technote here: kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html

Flash Player issues after installing Safari 3.2.1

I just installed the new Safari update (didn't do the first one) and now when my daughter goes to her trusted web sites like My Little Pony.com we get a little box in the right top corner telling us we need Flash Player 10 and do we want to download it now.
Does anybody know what this is about?
This seems like Vista behavior.

Oops. I guess I didn't explain myself very well. When I ran Software Update earlier today, it didn't say anything about needing to install the 2008-007 security update. I'm pretty sure I have already installed it since I try to keep up to date but I don't remember for certain. Is there some way I can tell for sure if I have already installed it? That is what I was trying to explain in my last post.

Trying to install updated Flash Player but after installing 51% message pops up saying quit Safari,

I downloaded and clicked the dmg to install latest update. It got to 51% complete and then stopped instructing me to close Safari. Sarfari was already closed and not running. Hit retry and got same message. Tried a reboot and install but still got same message. Don't understand why it says close when it is already closed?

It's probably still running somewhere in the background. If you are on a Mac, use the Activity Monitor to close running applications. On Windows use the Task Manager.

Flash player won't install after Antivirus8

I had the Antivirus8 problem this week. Malwarebytes seems to have uninstalled it. I have also run Eset Online Scanner and Microsoft malicious remover tool. They all now say I'm clean. But my flash player no longer works. I have turned off my AVG 9.0 (why didn't it catch the virus!!), and have downloaded the flash uninstaller and the installer. Ran them both, rebooting inbetween. flash player seems to install, but when I go to the adobe test site i get the red x instead of the video showing that the flash player is working. Online sites that require flash player do not work either.
This all is new since the antivirus 8. I never had a problem with flash before. I am running Windows 7 Home, 64 bit, and internet explorer I also have mozilla firefox. I have tried using the both IE 32 bit and IE 64 bit, as well as firefox, and all say that flash needs to be installed.
Help please!

Thank you so much for your support,GLPCPA.
It is a good idea but some Japanese can not do system restore(have no point of system restore).
So I want another new infos on adobe F player will not install after Antivirus 8 infection.
Thank you ,GLPCPA
Have a good time.
See you again

No idea. What did the folks on the Adobe forums say when you posted there, since it's Adobe's software you're having trouble with?

Install Adobe Flash Player popup after "successful" distributed install

I am getting this popup on pages using
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab" width="1" height="1" id="SOredirect" align="middle" SWLIVECONNECT="true">
How to fix this?

Hi, thanks for the screenshot!! That is helpful since I now see "Privilege Manager Active X Installer" There are several different companies that have this software. Here is what I read from one site and I'm sure they all work the same way.
The idea is to allow end users to have "certain" approved Installation privileges at the Desktop.
Privilege Manager solves this dilemma by allowing network administrators to attach permission levels to Windows applications and processes.
This tells me that the "Network Administrators" are the ones that attach the permission levels. I am not sure on this, but the fact that you received that Security Warning seems to indicate that this Installing of Flash Player(which is Installing an ActiveX Control) has not been approved. I wouldn't see the need for the warning, otherwise.
I would check with your Systems Administrator and see if this is the case.
Now here is what I want to clear up. Have you placed the most current Flash Player Uninstaller on your Desktop?
Have you downloaded and SAVED the Flash Player Installer on your Desktop?
Have you then Closed all browsers and run the Uninstaller/Installer?
That to me would be the best procedure. You should not receive that warning in my opinion if your Sys. Admin. has approved Adobe Systems Inc and or Adobe Flash Player.
Let me know,
Thanks,

Flash Player 10 Not installing on Win 7 64 bit PC

Flash Player 10 download goes through install procedure and says it is installed but it is not.
After that There is always a Flash Player Install file on the PC.
When I click on that it goes through the install procedure and says it is installed but it is not.
Have tried above install more than 6 different times. Also on my wife's new PC.
Always the same bad result.
These two new PC's are both on WIN 7 64 bit OS.

I tried the suggested method of uninstall and then install. Also the disable instructions for Norton AV.
Still no success. When I again check the list of programs in Control Panel for possible uninstall the Flash Player 10 has returned there.
But the player does not play when needed for some videos on Facebook, etc.
One thing I could not find to disable on Norton AV was "Smart Firewall." It was not in my NAV 2011.
Any other suggestions appreciated.

Subject: Flash Player 10 Not installing on Win 7 64 bit PC
Hi, I would try this method and see if it works better. There is a link for FF(Firefox) If you don't use FF, ignore that. Also before you begin this procedure, I need to know what Anti-Virus/Spyware programs you have Installed. Some will block the Install of Flash Player and that needs to be taken care of first.
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE- use the EXE Installer
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for FF- use the EXE Installer for plugin based (from the same site)
Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.
Disable any messenger services, as yahoo, msn, etc in the system tray(area near the clock)
Be sure to use the Administrator Account.
Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
Run the Installer for IE, Run the Installer for FF(If needed/used) and when finished, Reboot.
Then go to this test site and test each browser:

You may want to print these instructions to make it easier to follow. If you have any questions, let me know.

This is what I get when trying to use "FLASH PLAYER HELP", as you can see, my flash player and OS are NOT listed and when asked on left side of screen if "THIS WAS HELPFUL", I clicked NO and could not complete my response.

Download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header and save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

Help Please with Flash Player Updates not installing

Hi,
Please could someone help? I have recently bought an Asus Laptop with 6 meg Ram & 2.4 Ghz & Windows 7 64 Bit and the vendor (Pc World) installed MS office, Adobe Flash player & full Norton 360 anti virus software for me. The issue I am having is that I am getting a message from Adobe saying an update to Flash player is available & when I click install it then goes to the small message box saying connecting and then it just hangs forever even though my wireless is at full strength & can also already be on the web searching other pages so it is not a internet connection problem.
When I try to download the latest version ( I have 10.3. & trying to download 11.) direct from Adobe it then it starts the download after I click Run and then during initialisation it get to 12% each time & then says connection timed out & this all happens in space of 1 - 2 seconds.
I have gone to Internet options & the Security Tab & have moved the slider to "medium" on both Internet & Trusted Sites Tabs as advised by Adobe site, the Active Scripting is also enabled & ActiveX Filtering is also disabled.
Could Norton be causing the block & if so please can someone help me on how to sort this as Norton support has been useless blaming it all on Adobe?
Many Thanks in advance for anyone's assistance

Click Start, type msconfig.exe, press Enter, click Selective startup, uncheck Load startup items. Click Services tab, check Hide all Microsoft services, click Disable all, click Ok, click Restart.
How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?
After the install.
Click Start, type msconfig.exe, press Enter, click Normal startup, click ok, click Restart.

How to check if Flash Player ActiveX is installed

Hello,
I want to check if Flash Player ActiveX is installed or not in my Machine .
I want to check through C++/MFC code
Rahul,

That is not a perfect solution. Because If someone does not have flash activeX installed and if he downloads only activeX component .ocx file and use regsvr32 <path_TO_ActiveX> then he will be successfully able to register activeX . So now pc is having activeX and still machine will not have C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash folder so checking only for folder is not a solution.
Well after some research I found
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}
I don't know if it is a perfect solution. I am just going to test it on few machines.

How to determine if Flash Player 9 is installed?

I am trying to find a way to determine if FLASH PLAYER 9 is
installed or not by simply checking a file, a file version, or a
registry key. Specifically I want to check to see if I need to
install FLASH PLAYER 9 on my systems so not to actually install it
when not needed - a check mecanism to know if I need to run the
installer or not.
Is there something I can base myself on? Such as either the
existance of System32\Marcomed\Flash\flash9b.ocx or its file
version?

Flash Player freezes after a few seconds of playing

Adobe Flash Player freezes after playing for a few seconds.
It does this in both Mozilla Firefox and in Google Chrome.
It does this regardless of how much of the file has been buffered
(it's not just pausing and waiting for buffer)
I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player installed.
I have the latest version of Mozilla Firefox installed.
I have the latest version of Google Chrome installed.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash Player.
I've tried disabling hardware accelleration.
I've tried increasing the buffer size.
I've tried setting the buffer to 0
I've tried clearing the appdata cache

fourstrings411,
Could you give our 11.4 beta release a try to see if that resolves the playback problem? If it does not, please see this FAQ for other possible solutions. In particular, look towards the bottom for instructions on rolling back versions or disabling protected mode.
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
Thanks,
Chris
