Flash Player has screwed up my whole computer!

My computer was working fine until last night. When I opened
a page it said you may need to download ActiveX something or other
and gave me a link to download Flash Player 10. The problem is it
will not download all the way, it just pauses. I also tried to
uninstall it and it just pauses. I lowered the security, and now it
asks me on every page it I want software to run active X controls
and plug ins. I just want my computer to run like it did, please
help the support help on here is useless to me.

If you're using Internet Explorer 7 try to delete the flash
player ActiveX. Go to "tools" menu on the right --> "manage
add-ons" and find Shockwave flash ActiveX
Or, use Control panel, add&remove programs and uninstall
Flash player ActiveX - I guess this is the more appropriate way
Then go to the adobe website and reinstall it from there.

Flash Player Has Stopped Working!

All of a sudden, flash player has stopped working on my computer. I have a 64-bit PC, running Windows 7. Flash was running perfectly one day; the next it was not. Hasn't worked since. I've tried downloading the latest version and even installing an older version. Still does not work! (No changes or additions were made to the computer to cause this problem.) Any ideas as to what might be going on and how to fix it? I've done all I know how to do.

Flash Player has to be installed with each computer start up.

Flash Player NPAPI Plug in Version 15.0.0.223
PPAPI Plug in Version 16.0.0.228
Browser Opera
Windows Vista
For a few months now, I have had to install Flash Player every time I start my laptop. I have posed the question 'why?' on various web sites, all to no avail. For some reason I have never come across this site. Yesterday, I followed the instructions you give for installing a bit of software (Subinacl), into C: Program Files/Windows Resource Kits/Tools.
After installing what was suggested, Flash Player showed up in the Opera 'DeveloperTools> Plug ins', as Enabled.
This morning, on start up, Flash Player has vanished again. It is showing in 'Control Panel', but has vanished from Opera. Neither does it work in Firefox (it is missing from the Firefox plug in section.).
I have uninstalled Flash Player numerous times via the correct site and have even used Revo Uninstaller this last time, but it will still not stay installed.
Suggestions please

Try it from a fresh start:
Download the following files by right clicking and selecting "Save target as".
Flash Player Uninstaller
Shockwave Player Uninstaller
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Save ALL files to your Downloads folder - DO NOT RUN anything yet.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE opening anything else, go to your Downloads folder and run the UNINSTALLERS to remove the Flash Player and Shockwave plugins.
Go to: C/Windows/System32.
If there's a Macromed folder there, delete it.
Go to: C/Windows/SysWOW64.
If there's a Macromed folder there, delete it.
Open your Registry Editor (Start>Run or press the Windows key+R and type "regedit", then click OK)
Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE delete the Macromedia folder.(If it's there)
Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software delete the Macromedia folder. (If it's there)
Close the Registry Editor.
Next, run the ActiveX Installer.
Then go to: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions/ and download &install the Shockwave FULL installer for Windows (Internet Explorer)
Once it's installed, see:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer to make 100% sure that Flash Player is enabled and NOT being blocked by ActiveX controls.

Flash player will not work on my computer, would love advice

I have windows vista. When I visit a web page that requires flash, it instructs me to download it (even though I'm sure I have it ialready...). I do so, it says it has downloaded successfully but I still cannot view the website. I have uninstalled my current version of flash and reinstalled the latest version numerous times. It even shows up in my list of programs. But each time I visit a site that uses it, it tells me I need flash to view it. Very frustrating. And suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

This was very helpful - thank you. I unchecked "active x filtering" and it seems to be working, under tools in IE. a simple solution, that may have taken me days to figure out myself! Hopefully it continues to work from thiis point forward. Thanks!

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 had the same problem with firefox on facebook. It has happened for the last couple weeks. I can receive gifts under requests and every game I try crashes. I can usually read my homepage. this is getting really bad. I have cleared caches,downloaded what I am told to download to update, and cleared history and cookies and still happens , and have been told to get rid of firefox. what is the problem? and when I sent reports , nothing. and sent emails to all the games and told them and asked for help and never get responses. should I through the computer out the window, or delete you? I know they keep changing things on the games and that usually crashes stuff on mine, but all the time? this sucks. and I probably won't get a response from you either,but if this continues I will have to say, bye bye.It's ridiculous..before the crashes, it would take me over 2 hours to do a game and work on it. there was life before this and will be afterwards. it also happens on my regular email..not the crashing, but so slow and the download goes up and goes way down to almost nothing and keeps doing that.please help us all..thanks.

I keep getting "Adobe Flash Player has stopped potentially unsafe" but can't click Settings

Every time I open a blank tab in IE8, I get a message:
Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. The following local application on your computer or network about:blank is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location: s.nsdsvc.com. To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings. You must restart the application after changing your settings.
I have tried clicking the Settings button, but that just closes the message box. I have added both about:blank and s.nsdsvc.com to my trusted sites. I tried creating an html file with nothing in it and setting that as my home, but I am still getting the stupid message.
This is driving me to distraction. How can I fix it?
p.s. If this is already posted and answered, I apologize. I searched for it but it appears that the forum search is still broken.

There is no swf in a blank page, so I don't know how to do what you suggested.
However, I tried something else that seems to have worked. I took EVERYTHING out of my list of trusted sites. I know it doesn't make sense, but I'm not getting those messages now.
Thanks,

Macromedia flash player has stopped a pontentially unsafe operartion

I have just managed to figure out how to get a button to
work, and now I get the message 'Macromedia flash player has
stopped a pontentially unsafe operartion'!
It says that I need to go and edit the settings, so I have
gone to the part of adobe/macromedia website clicked always allow,
but nothing has changed...
All I am trying to do test a file on my computer that
connects to the internet. What do I need to do to get it to work?
Thanks
Mat

Exactly. There are three ways you can go about this.
First you could change your Flash Player trust settings to
trust Flash files on your desktop. (
Follow
this link to see how)
You could upload your Flash files to a server and test them
there.
Finally you could write a Flash trust file in a Text editor.
(Literally you would type the file location of your Flash
file into a simple text file. (.txt) Then place this file here:
C:\Documents and Settings\
your_account\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash
Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust)

I get this message then crash:Adobe flash player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.

I get this message on about a dozen popup screens, then I have to force quit and reopen safari:
Adobe flash player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. The following local application on your computer or network /about/srcdoc
Is trying to communicate with this internet-enabled location:
eqg.displaycdn.com
To let this application communicate with the intenet, click setting. You must restart this application after changing your settings.
I have followed some ideas I have found on Google, but nothing has stopped this from happening.
Any ideas are welcome.

Quit Safari.
Hold the shift key down and relaunch Safari.
Reset Safari.
Launch Safari
Click Safari in the menu bar.
From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
Uncheck the box next to " Remove saved names and passwords".
Click "Reset".
Empty Caches.
Safari > Preference > Advanced
Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
Turn off Extensions if any, and launch Safari.
Safari > Preferences > Extensions

Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation - Facebook

When I look at pictures in facebook and click out of the pictures I have a message that pops up every time and sometimes shuts down Firefox. It says:
Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation. The following application on your computer or network: [object] is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location: www.facebook.com. To let this application communicate with the Internet, click settings. You must restate the application after changinn your settings.
I have run my virus scanner and have not picked anything up. My son downloaded music frost and wire frost (or something like those) and I deleted them before he downloaded anything but it somehow changed my settings of the search provider and home page on firefox and now this happens. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

I think what I would do first, since there is a question on what was downloaded/Installed. Go to Control Panel/Programs & Features and take a look to see if any of those programs are Installed. If you see any that you don't want, remove them from there and restart your computer.
AVG can miss malware and don't find everything. I would go to www.malwarebytes.org and DOWNLOAD and SAVE to your Desktop the Free version. Then update it if it doesn't automatically. Then close the window.
Close all browser windows and Disable AVG. Then open Malwarebytes(MBAM) and run a full scan. If anything is found follow their instructions for removing it. When that is done, run a Quick scan with it.
Thanks,

Also, what pop up are you receiving? Who is it coming from? What Settings are you speaking of?

Flash player has ceased to function

Flash player has stopped working. L have even removed and reinstalled it but it still does not work
Computer shows latest level is loaded
Any ideas what is wrong

As a workaround, you could use the utility bundled with your scanner to scan to a file, and then import that file into PSE using File > Get Photos And Videos > From Files And Folders.

Hi juderocks14,
Please first take a check with the other Players and see if they could play the MP4 file normally. If it can't be played, which means it might be corrupted. You may ask at the Bandicam side, or save the files again.
If issue insists, take a try with the Troubleshooter (For Windows 7, 8 and 8.1):
Open the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter
Fix Windows Media Player video, and other media or library issues
Or you may try to turn Windows Features on or off to reset Windows Media Player:
Turn Windows features on or off (Before turn it on again, please remember to reboot first)
More reference:
What happens if I turn off Windows Media Player?
Best regards
