Flash player is installed but won't work

I have attempted to installed flash player multiple times and it seems like it installs but it doesn't work.  I need flash player in order to use notebook software for a smartboard.  I am currently using a MacBookPro in which I am the only user.  Please Help!  I'm so frustrated!!!!

I am also having the same troubles, i am using google chrome on windows 8 and also windows 7. It takes over an hour to even load a 20 minute video, that's with pausing it its been a few weeks now, it's really frustrating. I have tried everything, even re-installing google chrome, plug-ins. It plays youtube fine, just not any other tv streaming sites. Anyone help me figure this out, I'm ready to throw it out

  • Flash player is installed but won't run

    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash player every way I know how, have searched online for fixes, but Flash player just won't work. It shows under add ons as Shockwave, it shows on the list of programs that can be uninstalled, but it does not show up in the "All Programs" list. I've tried uninstall using Windows to uninstall and reinstall, I've tried Revo Uninstaller and reinstalled, I tried CCleaner uninstall and reinstalled,  I've tried uninstall from Adobe site and that didn't work either. I have tried about 8 times, but I can't get it to work. I went through all the info on Adobe Support site to no avail, and yes it is the latest version suffix  Flashplayer 12 with 77 suffix. I checked the Active X script setting per Suppot docs, and that didn't help either.  When I go to Rockler .com and try to load the catalogue it get the error that I need to install Flashplayer, but it looks to be installed, except for not showing on "All Programs" list. Any ideas are appreciated in advance. Am running Win 7, IE10, 64 bit.

    I suggest you post in the Flash Player forum, as it is quite different from Adobe Reader, and you need a different group of experts.
    Except, I know enough to say: Flash Player won't show up in he All Programs list, it isn't an app.

  • Flash Player is enabled but won't work on Win7 running IE 11

    I have reloaded flash player and followed online directions to ensure security settings are correct and disabled Active X

    "User-Agent Strings"
    That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
    Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
    The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
    Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
    They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • I downloaded the Flash player on Mac, but won't work after downloading successfully

    I don't know what to do because I have been trying to download the Flash Player and it says download successful and everything. But when I go to a certain site or watcha certain video, it says I need to download the Flash Player. What should I do?

    anyone can help me?

    Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.
    See:
    * https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Cannot+view+full+screen+Flash+videos
    * http://www.youtube.com/swf_test.html (right-click the player: Settings)
    Flash "Display settings" window:
    * http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Flash player 9 installed but...

    I am trying to open raw .swf files (not through a browser). I
    uninstalled what I thought was my old flash player and installed
    the new Flash Player 9. When I double click on the .swf it
    automattically opens the Flash Player 6 window and does not play
    the file. If I right click the .swf and open in a IE browser window
    it runs fine. How do I set FP 9 as the default for all files, not
    just in IE.
    Is there a way to get the Flash Player 9 file as an .exe that
    I can open and then open the file?

    I've been trying to reproduce this for the last few weeks but so far have been unable to.  If I understand you correctly, when you go to this page:
    http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_2/test_dynamic_multiple.html
    You're seeing the alternate content (most likely prompts to update/install flash) for all 4 blocks?  Do you have any idea what I could be missing and why I can't reproduce this?
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Shows flash player is installing, but then can't find it and it won't work. Help please

    Hello. My flash playe worked just fine until this morning. I turned my computer on, went to a facebook app., and got a message "if doesn't load in the next 10 seconds, upgrade flash by clicking here" which brought me to adobe I have an Acer laptop, and am running Internet Explorer 7.
    I've done everything I can, but can't get flash player to work. I've uninstalled, re-booted, re-installed, re-booted. I've made sure my security zones are on medium, I've temporarity disabled my virus protection program while uninstalling and installing. I've went under tools, manage add ons, to enable it, but the only adobe add-on listed is adobe PDF link helper and it's enabled. I've checked to make sure Java script is enabled, I've made sure I have the 32 bit browser, I've done everything I could find to do (I've worked on this for hours today).
    When I click to download from adobe site, it shows it installing without a problem, goes all the way through, shows done, then shows to close download manager. If I go through control panel to 'uninstall programs' adobe flash is listed. If I go through start, adobe flash is not listed in my programs and does not come up when I search under start.
    So, from I can find, I can download and install it, but then it's not there and doesn't work. Please Help. I've struggled with this all day, and it's very frustrating, and the only way to reach adobe is to pay $39 for a phone call. I really need help on this, it would be very much appreciated. Please, and thank you.

    Hi, and thanks again for taking the time to help me with this, I sure appreciate it. I ran a disc cleanup, then I went in under internet options and deleted the cookies and such. I got rid of the uninstall and install programs I had in the download folder but still have the ones on the desktop.
    I went to Windows/System32-  but I don't have a Macromed folder there. I have one under the SysWOW64 folder though, a Macromed folder, with a Flash folder under it, with files uner it:
    Flash10l.ocx-  ActiveX control,
    FlashInstall-   Text document,
    FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.dll- Application extension,
    FlashUtil10l_ActiveX-  Application (with a red file by it, and it opens the uninstall program),  and
    install-  Text Document.
    The two text documents say they were created last year, but the other three say they were created today.
    And like I said, these are under the SysWOW64 folder.  The System32 folder does not have a Macromed folder under it at all, and instead of being in alphabetical order from top to bottom, they start with Z and the A's are at the bottom, if that means anything. I called my frienfd and had her check her computer step by step as I did mine, and hers doesn't have a Macromed under the System32 folder either, but does the SysWOW64 file, and it has the same files I do, except two of the first one, the Flash10l.ocx, but with different dates on it.
    I ran my virus scan, avast, and it didn't find anything. I did close the browsers to run the Window Defender and Malwarebytes, and tried it again a few minutes ago, and they are still saying they find nothing. The malwarebytes found 7 things this morning when I ran it, but hasn't found anything since.

  • Have adobe flash player on chrome but isn't working on firefox, cannot install it I get a message that I haven't got the permissions to do so.

    I have flash player in google chrome but not in firefox. When I try to simply allow flash player in firefox it is not listed. I have the only account on my computer so I am the administrator yet it states I do not have sufficient permissions to install flashplayer although it is already on my computer. I will attach a .bmp screen shot of the error message, but this is what it says if you don't want to open a pic from someone you do not know. :)
    "a required file (C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe:5) could not be written due to insufficient permissions.
    Please visit the following link for troubleshooting tips:
    Troubleshoot Flash Player installation for Windows
    I have tried with my antivirus (Avast free version) running and also with it disabled.

    hello, please try the windows exe-installer for plugin based browser from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html and see if this works to install the adobe flash player. otherwise you'd have to contact adobe's support since that doesn't appear to be a problem directly related to a mozilla product...

  • Flash player saying installed but doesnt work

    i have a toshiba laptop with internet explorer 6 and its an
    xp machine
    basically some websites that need flash redirect me to the
    adobe flash player site and i click install and it installs.
    then an animation plays when its successfully installed
    but then when i go back to the website that requires
    flash...flash doesnt work!
    im going crazzy now cos no-one knows what to do.
    any suggestions. any???? xx

    Well, first of all you might want to get IE7. Just go to
    filehippo.com. In any case, go to start>control
    panel>internet options. Go to the security tab and set the
    internet zone to default>apply. Then go to the privacy tab and
    click on sites. Make sure the website is allowed to set cookies.
    Then set the cookie slider to medium or medium-high. This internet
    options screen is different for IE6 and IE7, so your buttons may
    vary slightly from mine since I have IE7. Really, IE7 is better in
    my opinion and your favorites will carry over.

  • Am running Vista and it shows Adobe flash player 100% installed but it will not work. I have uninstalled numerous times and still no luck. Had success on older computer running XP. I have searched the net and attempted numerous options but to no avail.

    Adobe Flash player states it is installed and gives the current version but when I attempt to view a video it tells me to download the newest flash player however it showed I have installed it.
    When I go to uninstall programs it does not show any files have been downloaded for the program... so I have uninstalled; restarted; re-installed under administrator; turned off any virus protection and firewalls... etc.
    Basically I have tried everything I have seen posted.
    I need help!!!!

    Do you have NoScript or Flashblock or some similar Extension installed? If so, are you allowing the site, at least on a temporary basis, access by such an Extension?
