Flash Player is installed, content hidden/disappears

First let's get some of the basics out of the way:
Flash Player 11.0.1.152
Windows 7 SP1
IE 9 32 and 64 bit
Flash content on most websites is not appearing. It loads, sometimes I can see a flash of the content before it disappears, and for videos I can interact with it (i.e., start it playing and hear sound but still not see it). The only website I can find that is working for me is YouTube videos. Vimeo videos and flash on the Adobe website are two examples of sites that don't work.
All IE settings have been reset, and I've made sure everything is on the reccomended settings per Adobe help documents and threads (plug-in enabled, active x filtering off, software rendering enabled, hardware acceleration in Flash settings off). Installing and reinstalling does not resolve the issue. Any ideas on what to try next?

I found a solution on another forum Adobe flash player works in utube, but not in any other sites click on the link they give on the correct answer or go directly to the site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2528233.  On the webpage click on microsoft fix it to disable hardware acceleration.  I hope it works for you!

  • Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.

    Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.  I have downloaded and installed flash player several times on my Win7 Vaio laptop. I have uninstalled and deleted all versions.  I am the administrator and I have also turned off my Security Software, but the same thing keeps happening over and over.  The Java Script is enabled and I have tried both downloading via IE and firefox.  It is rediculous that it keeps disappearing and I keep getting messages that the newest version is needed.  I am downloading directly from adobe and they say it is the latest.  Getting very frustrated.  They ask if we have any problems when we go to the finish line, but there is no place for comments.  I guess they don't really care if it works or not.

    So is it actually installed, or is it not?  If not, download and run the offline installers:
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    If it still does not work correctly, check

    In Firefox also check if the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled.

  • 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

  • I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac

    I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac Air.  I have repeatedly confirmed that I meet the system requirements and installed and uninstalled the software.  It always fails at 51% installation and give me and alert that says Install Error.  Please help!
    MAC OS 10.8.5
    Safari 6.1
    Firefox 26.0
    Just performed the update to FP12 on my iMac.  Worked perfectly.
    MAC OS 10.6.8
    Safari 5.1.10
    Firefox 26.0
    It appears the problem is with the newer OS...

    "Allllllllrighty then!" as "Ace Ventura" said....
    The problem ISN'T with Flash Player...
    If you remember back in September, when Apple released the 10.8.5 update, shortly thereafter... you no doubt discovered a file named "mach_kernel" was in your Mac HD directory.  And... unaware of what it was, you deleted it.
    That (mach_kernel) is a base file of OS X and Apple screwed up the update and made it "visible" when it's supposed to be hidden.
    Hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting Mac Users worldwide deleted it and it'll make things worse as time goes by.
    YOU'RE in luck, though. I have a fix.
    If you have a TIme Machine and use the "Secrets" pereference pane to reveal "hidden files", you can restore it from a "pre 10.8.5" backup.
    If not, I have a "fresh" mach_kernel file you can download.
    You'll need to download and install the Secrets prefpane. It'll then be in your System Preferences.
    Make sure you have it set to "show hidden files"
    Check the box and you have to restart Finder
    Press "Quit This" and then go to the Finder Dock icon and right click it
    Select "Open"
    Open your TIme Machine
    Go back to September 28 or earlier.
    You'll see the mach_kernel file in the Mac HD directory
    (I can't show it in the TM because screenshots don't work while it's open but here it is in my MAc HD)
    Right click it and select "Restore to"
    Then, when it goes back to Finder, choose the Mac HD directory and click OK.
    It will place the mach_kernel back where it was and you can install software again
    DON'T FORGET to go back and hide your files (and restart Finder) again, or you'll have a mess with the clutter of hidden files everywhere.
    IF you don't have the Time Machine...
    WITH hidden files shown, download this file (mach_kernel.zip)
    Move it to your Mac HD directory and THEN unzip it with Stuffit Expander or TheUnarchiver, whichever you use (most people have Stuffit).
    You should see the mach_kernel file there.
    You can delete the zip file, and then go back to Secrets in your System Preferences, and uncheck Show Hidden Files.
    Restart Finder and it'll be safely hidden again.
    THEN you can install Flash Player and other software without the "General Installation Error".

  • Flash player update/install failure

    I know this probably has been answered but I need help.  I have xp sp3, ie 8.  Flash player worked last night, got notice to up date. Loaded installer, tried loading the newest version and got "active x control can not be registered".  I checked and no flash player is installed, turned off norton 360, checked ie settings and they are all as the troublle shooting steps say they should be.  I dont really want to pay someone $36 who I will have trouble communicateing with.  Please help.

    I can only imagine that the reason you're seeing that message then is because the ActiveX control is already registered which prevents you from registering it again.
    So what you could try is to unregister it and then run the installation again. To unregister the Flash ActiveX control, go to Start | Run and then copy/paste the following into the Run field and click OK: regsvr32 /u C:\WINDOWS\system32\Adobe\Director\SwDir.dll
    You should get a message telling you that the file SwDir.dll has been successfully unregistered.
    If it says that it can't find SwDir.dll, make sure that the operating system can see file extensions. To check that, launch Windows Explorer (CTRL+E) and on the top line, click Tools | Folder Options | View. In the list. Make sure that "Show Hidden Files and Folders" is checkmarked. If there's a checkmark in "Hide Extensions For Known File Types" which is the next option down, remove it, then Apply/OK and then run the command again.
    Could you also check to see if this file is present on your PC: Flash9.ocx It will be located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9.ocx if it is.
    I don't think you'll find it because it belongs to Flash player v9.0, but you never know.

  • Can Flash Player be installed on an external hard drive?

    I have this game I am trying to install on an external hard drive that requires Flash Player and even though it is installed on my computer the game keeps popping up with Flash Player is required for this install. Would you like to install it now? Is there any way to install Flash Player on my external or get the game's installer to recognize it being on the hard drive. I don't want to install the game to my computer. Thanks for any help.

    Flash Player is installed on the Windows system32 and syswo64 folders; it cannot be installed anywhere else.
    What does that game require: the ActiveX control, or the plugin?  If in doubt, install both.

  • I can't see any video website like youtube, vimeo, even facebook. My flash player is installed and it's work because I still can see the video in IE, only on Firefox it only audio work, the video is all blank(black), anyone can help me?

    I didn't update or download anything, then today I can't see any video website like youtube, vimeo, even facebook. My flash player is installed and it's work because I still can see the video in IE, only on Firefox it only audio work, the video is all blank(black),
    when I restart my PC again the video can work just first video, then when I see another website video it all black...... (but sound still work)
    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

    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.

  • Flash Player 9 installed????

    CONFUSED?? I have Flash Player 9 installed, and have checked
    this out on this website (all fine!)..... When I try to get on some
    websites, it tells me that I have Flash Player 9, but it will still
    not display the web page!?
    PLEASE HELP!?!

    Similar problem -- but using IE7RC1 - no swf files would
    play. Finally used the uninstaller for Version 9, found on Adobe
    site, and all worked fine. Apparently Flash Player version 9 has
    some issues with Microsoft (or is it the other way around) that
    causes it to not work. If you go back to previous version of Flash
    Player (the swf file I was trying to play was using version 7
    something) you just may find that all is now well. I've posted on
    the Microsoft IE7 site same findings since a lot of other people
    out there seem to be having the same problem with Flash Player.
    Hope this helps you fix the problem.

    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.

  • How can I get Flash Player and install it?

    I29/Aug/2010 17:37
    TO: Adobe Forum
    I am running Windows XP Home, and using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 as my browser.
    When I go to download and install the latest version of Flash Player, the ONLY option I get is to quit. In other words, I cannot download and install Flash Player. This even occurs at Adobe's own website.
    How can I get Flash Player and install it?
    Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely,
    Barry Karas

    First, you can manually download the installer here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    Second. On both my Mac (OS 10.6.4) and My PC (Vista Home Premium) I have had nothing but trouble with Firefox 3.6.8 and Flash player, Flash apps and Flash sites that require access to web cam or microphone or both.
    The last time Flash Player worked well with Firefox was 3.6.4, but I uninstalled 3.6.8 and went all the way back to 3.0 on both systems.
    Just a heads up. If you download the manual installer, and it still doesn't work, it ISN'T the Flash Player. It's Firefox. IE, Opera and Safari all work with it.
    Go to oldversion.com and get an older build of Firefox, uninstall 3.6.8, install the older one, go to Tools, and Options and turn off automatic checking for updates, so it doesn't try to take you back the the 3.6.8 "busted @$$ joint" that doesn't work worth poo.
    Maybe when they release 3.7, Firefox will have their act together with Adobe and Flash Player.

  • Customizing Flash Player 10 Install

    Greetings:
    I registered and downloaded the flash player 10 install
    executable. I want to push it out to about 425 machines, but do not
    want the Google toolbar. It messes up other software we have at our
    institution. Is there a command line parameter that I can use to
    install the flash player without the Google toolbar?
    I tried downloading the Adobe Customization Wizard. However,
    the latest version I could find on the Adobe website is version 9.
    It won't work with the version 10 install .msi file. Is there a
    replacement for version 10?
    Our users cannot install from the Adobe web site because they
    don't have admin rights. Also, I don't want 450 PCs eating up WAN
    bandwidth to install the flash player. That's why I want to install
    it from our LAN.

    These instructions don't work for me
    i get the following error:
    [17:15:44:~]> nspluginwrapper -v -i /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins/libflashplayer.so
    /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libxcb-render-util.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
    nspluginwrapper: no appropriate viewer found for /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins/libflashplayer.so
    Ive checked libxcb and i have both the lib32 versio nand the normal version.
    Ive tried all the methods I can find of installing flash. Its annoying me
    Any ideas anyone? Am i just being dense?
