Flash Player has downloaded/installed, but still does not work

This is a relatively new problem for my computer, but from what i have read, is a common problem so I know it is not my computer.  Out of the blue, click on a video and all i see is a black screen.  No adobe logo saying i needed to update or download in order to watch video.  So i unistalled, rebooted and reinstalled..nothing.  I uninstalled/installed with zip..nothing.  Everything that is enabled is enabled..nothing.  Reset IE...nothing.  Downloaded Mozilla..nothing.  I am currently running windows xp, IE 8 (32 bit) and all security software are disabled.  The crazy part is that when i check the file for flash player, it does not show any bites in file.  I know there should be bites in there because i checked on a computer with working flash player and it shows 6.00 mb.  So somewhere from the installation, the file is lost.  i have tried pretty much all suggestions, dating back from '09 and really really need some advice.  

ok..flash player x is listed.  always has been.  i don't understand the whole "no files" bit cuz the computer that i am using show 6.00mb in files.  unless it is outdated? this computer is brand new, custom made as of last month to my specs, so i can't see how adobe would be outdated.  Mozilla shows in my add/remove files, but that flash player plugin is nowhere to be found.  in fact, this is all the adobe files i see in order:
Adobe AIR
Adobe Download Manager
Adobe Flash Player10 Active X
Adobe Flash Reader X
Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5
i am really not liking mozilla, however...upon clicking a video, it is telling me i need to update to newer version of adobe.  When i click on dl, it gives me a window to save as a binary file.  it will not download and all security/firewall are off.  Shockwave has always been enabled.  pretty much anything you posted to do in past threads..i have done.  its driving me crazy
i can bring up other websites, just cannot watch videos and was stuck on that redirect to adobe forum..will try the forum again.

    Exactly where did you download Flash from, if you did not download it from
    http://get2.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    you did not get an authorized version.
    If  you did and it still does not work then  you should be in touch with one of the Flash Player or Adobe help forums, because it's an Adobe product they would know best how to troubleshoot issues.

  • I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?

    I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?
    so i'm using the usb mouse

    I want to clarify the issue.
    The issue is with the MBP trackpad, and it works fine with an attached USB mouse.
    With some ingenuity, you might be able to fix this yourself, but I suggest visiting your local Apple Store/Genius Bar. Some have fixed this issue and have posted their results online, but the Apple Store should be your first destination.
    Post here with your results!!

  • Says Adobe Flash Player 11 successfully installed but it is NOT!

    Hi, I tried to install the Adobe Flash Player 11. It says each time (tried many times) it was successfully installed but it was not. Actually it gets to 50% then stops and sometimes ask me to close Internet Explorer sometimes does not and then when I close it, it runs fast to 100% saying successfully installled. When I check in my control panel it gives me only 6MB installed but should be 16.3MB. But actually is not installed at all.
    My OS is windows 7.
    Please help, I need AFP ASAP. Thank you

    Here's what I recommend:
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one (or both) of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Because IE asks if you want to "Run" or "Save", choose "Save".
    Reboot...
    Then perform a "clean install"
    Afterward, make sure Flash Player is enabled for Internet Explorer

  • Adobe flash player has downloaded successfully, but it's still not working

    hello all, I have a new week old laptop, that has windows 7, I'm trying to view videos online, like on youtube, but it keeps saying download flash player, so I download it, then it says it again when i try to watch the videos. I've downloaded it about 10 times now! with the same result, I followed the instructions on the help pages about changing my settings and it still doesn't work. Please help.

    You write that you "downloaded" Flash Player, but did you also install it?

  • I have installed flash player on my mac but it´s not working on safari

    Hello,
    I am supposed to do a course which has a cd and some simulations in flash. In the instructions it said to download adobe flash player and select safari as the application to view these .swf files with.
    I have a Macbook running Mac OS X version 10.6.8 and I have downloaded the flash player version 11.1.102.55, which apparently is the latest version for my mac.
    It says installed succesfully and in the mac´s preferences I see it.I have checked allow sites to save information on this computer.
    In Safari´s preferences I have made sure that all plugins are enabled, but when I go into help and open installed plug-ins on safari I cannot see flash player in the list.
    I have tried going in HD/library/Internet plug ins and I do see flash player.plugin.
    I am no sure what I have done wrong and would appreciate any kind of help.
    Thank you very much.

    Try using Firefox. Flash usually works on Firefox when it won't on Safari. I noticed that the Safari does not show the same version as Firefox does. Iwonder if that could be the problem. Safari on the left shows 10.1, Firefox show 10.3

  • After firefox automatic up date my Sothink web video downloader(full version) has stopped working. I have reinstalled the software but still does not work.

    About 3 update ago it did the same thing then all of a sudden a new update and it started working again now with the last update it has stopped working again.
    Please Help

    Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
    Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
    Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

  • GPO is set for "Auto download and notify for install" but it does not work correctly on two of my servers.

    Hello,
    I have a problem with two of my servers. I have ~200 servers which are updating fine through WSUS. The settings are as you can see "3 - Auto download and notify for install" in the GPO.
    This is the correct setting. I want to achieve that I can install the updates whenever I want on these servers. On client computers there is a strict schedule with auto installs.
    My GPO works fine for 98% of my servers. On two servers (a big file server and a TMG server) the settings are made as you can see in the screenshots, but the updates still get installed automatically.
    I have no idea what I'm doing wrong here... It is a big problem for me that updates get installed automatically on these servers.
    Although the Policy and the Registry both say 3 the server behaves like option 4 is active.
    I would be very thankful for any input on how to find out what's the issue here.

    and was not able to find any sign of an admin installing it in the WindowsUpdate.log.
    Then the Windows Update Agent DID NOT install this update, and it's not really a WSUS issue.
    My typical response to such a claim would be to ask you to show me in the WindowsUpdate.log where the update was installed... but it seems that request has already been answered.
    The more relevant question it seems, is HOW DID these updates allegedly get installed?

  • HT1414 After Voice over, opening code will not open ipad2 owing to not recognizing security code so remains locked have reset programmes but still does not work. How can I clear please my code was 2121 but will not open now?

    Hi, after turning on Voice over and then turning off the i pad 2,  I found that it would not turn on again as the locking code which always worked  till now,  2121 is not recognised. A voice can be heard when trying to enter the 4 letter code stating the letters
    I have tried to repair programme by resetting several times and also downloading i tune software as suggested by your advice centre but the i pad remains locked
    Please can you tell me how I can resolve this issue?
    Thanks  Derek Brown

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple. 

  • 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

    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.

  • I have downloaded flash player 11 numerous times but it will not install?

    I have downloaded flash player 11 numerous times but it will not install?

    Willis-
    1.        Uninstall the adobe 11.0 flash player first even if it shows as a recent install
    2.       2.  Install adobe flash player 11.0 and make certain you download from the Adobe website not a liason website! Important!
    3.       Once installed fully and the prompt tells you that you have successfully installed adobe flash player 11.0 …
    4.       YOU must RESTART your computer regardless of what the prompt states at this point in time
    5.       Then when you have successfully  completed  shutdown/ restart and your computer reboots to normal operation…
    6.       You may receive or you may not receive a prompt stating that something new has been installed on your computer
    7.       If you receive a prompt after restart follow the prompt and do as it instructs you to.
    8.       Please contact me if you continue to have issues or problems …
