Flash player downloads but doesnt work!

Hi! I hope someone can help me. I'm on a laptop and for the past day or so I downloaded adobe flash about 10 times and it doesnt seem to work. whenever I try to watch something or have a flash ad on a website, I get a message that says "install missing plugins". I click on it, and it takes me to the flash download page but it doesnt seem to work.
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with this, but it says by the installation instructions that I would need to press "run", I only have an option to save the file. Thanks in advance for your help!

I have the same  problem

  • Why does latest version of Flash Player download but not work?

    I have a new Vostro PC, win7 software preinstalled on 64 bit machine, running IE10.  Have had many problems the latest of which is Adobe Flash Player appears to have downloaded but does not work. When I try to view certain internet sources, I get the message to update my Flash Player.  I have done all the 7 steps suggested by Adobe support to correct the problem.  None works.  What now?   by the way when I checked the version supposedly installed, it was the latest, but the box next to Adobe plug-in was not checked.  is it possible I need both and somehow the plug-in portion is not downloading?

    The plugin is only required if you use other brosers like Firefox, or other software that use the plugin.

  • Flash Player installed but not working properly

    I have Windows 7 64 bit, and run IE11.
    I have Adobe Flash Player installed.
    It works fine on my login (administrator) but my young Son can not watch video's, as it says Flash Player is not installed.
    How do I fix this please?

    Flash Player has updated to 11.87.800.175 today; is it working better?
    If not, what means "not working properly"?

    Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.

    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.

  • Flash Player installed but not working....

    had a virus 3 days ago which was resolved with assistance from Microsoft.  Now Adobe Flash does not work (when I go to Youtube, it says I do not have the latest version.  I have unistalled, restarted, installed at least 10 times.  Sites still say I need the latest version.  I do see Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X in the programs in my control panel.  I have downloaded version 10.1.102.64.  I am running IE8 (i assume 32-bit since it does not say 64-bit) on Windows Vista.  I have checked the files in my windows/system32/macromed/flash folder and it show the following files:
    Flash Player Trust folder
    Flash10I.ocx
    FlashInstall
    FlashUtil10I_ActiveX.dll
    FlashUtil10I_ActiveX
    install
    I had turned off my Norton AV and firewall. I have also made sure that all security has been set to medium at that java scripting shows as enabled...
    Flash player still does does not work: says I need to install latest version on websites (youtube etc.)
    HELP!!

    Hi, I see you've been on quite a few forums advocating Firefox & Chrome. All this does is give them a browser that perhaps Flash Player would be performing as it should. But it doesn't solve their issue with IE.
    And referring users to follow procedures meant for another user under different circumstances and computer configurations
    is not in their best interest.
    All you are doing is confusing the person, since the required information about their computer has not been obtained.
    You may want to rethink posting referrals, I could do that myself, since I'm on a lot of threads here.

  • Flash Player Installs but wont work.

    Hello,
           I am currently having a proble with my parents computer and Adobe Flash Player 10.1.
    It downloades and installs but when I go to a site to check it for example poker on facebook, all it says is i need the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
    Theyr copmuter OS is Windows Vista 32-Bit, Have java 6 u 23. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple ties, still the same thing. I tried the logo thing that Adobe offers to check as well and it doesnt show either. I looked in the C:/ folder area where it tells you to look and the only file in there was a Flash text document. That i know is not right, but every install is the same one file. Got tired of fighting with it for an hour and decided to come home and post on here and see if anyone could help. And using IE8.

    Hi, if there are no files in the Flash folder(system32) except a text doc, then Flash Player is not Installed.
    The Administrator Account must be used to Uninstall/Install Flash Player.
    When you were Installing did you receive any error messages? If not then you would need to Uninstall and Install again.
    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
    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)
    If you use Norton or McAfee Anti-Virus, you would want to disable that also as they can block the Shockwave Flash Object.
    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 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.

  • Adobe Flash Player installed - but not working

    I have Windows 7, 64 bit, with Internet Explorer 11.  On the day before Thanksgiving everything was working fine.  I received a greeting on 11/27 and was unable to open it - I was told I needed to install Adobe Flash Player - assumed it was an update - but since that time I've been unable to open any of the puzzles on Shockwave, or cards from greeting card providers - probably some other things, but I haven't found out about them yet.  Every time I try to open any of these programs, I get a message that I need to install the flash player.  My control panel shows that I have Adobe Flash Player 15 Active X, 6 MB, version 15.0.0.239 installed and the add-on manager under tools says it's enabled - but it escapes me what it's enabled to do other than drive me batty and waste all my time.  I've rebooted the computer, closed all IE windows, numerous times after uninstalling the program and then reinstalling it - all a waste of time.  Is there any advice out there?  Linda Kochefko, El Dorado, KS

    is Active X Filtering something that should show up under Tools, Manage Add-Ons?  If so, I think I had it earlier this week, but it's gone now.  In my efforts to eliminate the Flash Player so I could reinstall a working copy, I may have uninstalled too much.  It's not listed under Programs or under Tools at this time.

    I cannot get any videos to play on my windows 8.  It says that I need flash player, but flash player is installed and it won't let me download.  I have tried many troubleshooting steps on the checklist with no joy.  Please help. 
    HIckory

    Did you check that the add-on is enabled?
    Did you check that ActiveX Filtering is disabled?

  • Flash player install but not working

    Can find Flash player in programs to uninstall off control panel, but no where else, computer will not play any videos and ask to down load flash player every time.

    Flash Player (with the exception of the sandalone "Projector") isn't a program. It's a plugin. While it does should appear in the Add/remove list, it's NOT located in Program Files.
    You'll find it in C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash
    and (on 64 bit systems) C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash
    What browswer do you use?

  • Flash Player Downloads to Firefox but not Safari--Why???

    For some unknown reason my Adobe Flash Player stopped working.  I followed all the instructions and managed to get the 10.3 Flash Player downloaded so that it would work with my Firefox browser. But when I tried to  use my Safari browser to access YouTube a message said that I'd have to install Adobe Flash Player..  So I followed the instructions again, and a message said that "installation ws successful" yet when I tried to see videos on YouTube with Safari it claimed that I had not installed the Flash Player.  I am using OS X5.8. The only
    change I made in my system was switching from Java 5.0 to Java 6.0.  Would that have any impact on the Flash Player installation?  Thank you very much for your help.

System preferences firewall is off and apps are allowed from anywhere and in Safari other plug ins are allowed and cookies are not blocked and pop up windows are not blocked. Why won't Flash Player download?

    Don't DL Flash from web sites. If you have Adobe Flash installed it should be in System Preferences and you can find the latest version and download from there.
    If you are installing for the first time,this is where to DL it.
