Flash Player is talking to me in Japanese - although I installed the English version

Background:
My OS is Win XP Pro SP2 - Japanese version. I am working in a
Japanese company and it came preinstalled with my new PC. The thing
is that I can barely read this language, so it's not a very
pleasant experience not having an English OS. But that's the
situation and I cannot change it.
What I thought I can have is an English version of Flash
Player 9.
Well, after installing the English version of FP9 (actually
this is a problem with *all* versions of Flash Player) I am getting
all the error/warning/notification messages in Japanese. After some
digging I discovered that even the English version of FP has
embedded all the UI strings both in English and in Japanese. And,
because it detects my OS as being Japanese, it spits all the
messages in the default language of the OS. Which makes it *very*
difficult to use. Especially for debugging/development.
Isn't there any switch (ini file, registry edit, something)
by which I can tell it to use English, instead of the OS default
language?
Thanks in advance,
Alex

perhaps it did not cleanly remove the flash player when you
uninstalled? Try the uninstaller:

    You can check the version under Apple Menu > System Preferences > Flash Player. Did you quit and restart Safari after the install?

    I am in Japan. The computer store installed Firefox but it is the Japanese version. I want the English version. Can you give me the link to download and install English version?

    Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.
    You can safely give us a snapshot of your model and its current config that will allow us to deternmmine your model and its upgrade potential, plus show it you have any software that may impede any upgrades. Please download and install this free utility:

    Run the program and click the "Copy report to clipboard" button when it displays the results. Then return here and paste the report into a response to your initial post. It can often show if any harmful files/programs are dragging down your performance.
    Remember that, on leaving OS10.6.8, you lose the ability to run older softare written for older PowerPC Macs (yours in Intel-based). Programs such as Office 2004 will no longer work (min of Office 2008 needed to work on newer OS versions), and AppleWorks will stop working completely

  • I've "successfully" installed the latest version of Flash Player. How do I find where it "lives" so that I'm certain it's in there. Also, do I put the App icon in the trash now? (I am on a Mac) Thank you!

    I've "successfully" installed the latest version of Flash Player, as recommended by Firefox. How do I find where it "lives" so that I'm certain it's in there. Also, do I put the App icon that appears on my desktop, in the trash now? I am on a Mac and I am not technically inclined.
    Thank you!

    Your list of plugins shows that you have installed Flash 10.2 r152 which is the current release version.
    You can also confirm that Flash is installed by visiting this link - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about

  • After installing the latest version of adobe flash player, my internet won't work properly.

    I'm not sure if anyone can help, but you might know of where or who else I can ask. I have Mac 10.4.11 and yesterday my internet was working fine. My computer had just performed an automatic firefox update, as is usual. When firefox restarted it suggested that I update my adobe flash player, which I was pretty sure could use an update. So I did. I downloaded and installed the latest version. SINCE then my internet has been doing strange things. It often acts like I've lost my internet connection - I open a new tab or type a new address into the browser and it won't do anything or go anywhere. It doesn't tell me that I've lost my internet connection. It's like something's blocking it because it doesn't even attempt to load the new page or website. And I know that I haven't lost my internet connection. I have to quit firefox completely, and then re-open it for it to work, and even then it will only work for a few minutes at the most. I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it.

    Try relaunching Safari and/or logging out/into your Mac.
    Then browse to this Adobe page to verify you have the latest version of Flash installed -> http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html

    Some of my applications have been saying I need the latest version of Adoebe Flash Player.  When I try to download it I get the following error message:  'Frame Load interrupted' and the installation stops.  Any suggestions?

    You can only use apps downloaded from the App store, not via a browser. There is no Flash for any iOS device including the iPod.

  • In eBay & YouTube, I get the message to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player; I have gone through the download and installation procedure several times, but still get the same message - why can't I install the latest version on Firefox?

    In eBay, I was trying to upload pictures when I got this message: "You need the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to use the standard picture uploader.
    Download and install the latest version from Adobe before continuing."
    In YouTube, when trying to watch a video, I got this message: "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video."
    I have gone through the procedure for downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, but still get the same messages when I reopen Firefox and revisit these sites.
    There does not seem to be the same problem with Safari, which runs the latest version of Adobe Flash Player with no trouble.
    I am using an iMac running Mac OS X Version 10.6.7.

    You can find the latest Flash player for Firefox on this page.
    *http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    For Firefox on 64 bit Windows, you need the 32 bit Flash version version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.

  • After a tryout with AdBlock, the videos on Facebook, on BBC and on some others websites stopped working and there's always a message asking me to install the latest version of the Flash Player. Even though it's already installed. How can I fix that?

    After a tryout with AdBlock, the videos on Facebook, on BBC and on some others websites stopped working and there's always a message asking me to install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player. Even though it's already installed the situation remains the same since the last month.
    Can I fix that just doing the upgrade for the Yosemite?

    Well, after hours of trying to figure it out I gave up and un-installed and re-installed that last verion of Adobe Flash Player and now it seems I can play games again in Messenger. Everything else had been fine just that. I can only figure it was because it was having a hard time updating the first time and took me 3 tries. So even though it said it was installed, apparently it wasn't done correctly.
    Though when I couldn't figure out what was wrong at first I looked and checked to see all the things were enabled that were supposed to be and they were.
    I even tried to go to the Adobe site and download the last version I had and couldn't find it. Kept coming up with the new version. Others said if you download a particular older version it may not have all the security features in it.
    This really gets to be a bit much, especially when you're by yourself and have only a smattering of knowledge of technical things.
    Thanks fore responding to my question.

  • I'm being told I need to download Flash player even though I have installed the latest version

    I'm using a Mac with Mac OS X, Version 10.7.5, with Safari 6.0.2 as my browser. I haven't had any problems with Flash player until today. Now suddenly, when I try to view Flash content, it tells me I need to download/install the latest version of Flash Player. However, I have installed it multiple times. I even uninstalled it and re-installed it, re-started my computer, etc, and it still won't work. What else can I try??

    Does this happen with all Flash content?  Do you see the animation and version info when you go to this page?
    Flash Player Version
    If not, please go into Safari's preferences dialog, the security tab, and verify that Enable Plug-Ins is checked.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hello ak_kanan, 
    Welcome to the forums. 
    Try doing the following. In the browser swipe down from the top and choose Settings, now choose Content, here where it says Enable Flash change this to Off.  Now try going to the website that was not working (it will not work again this is fine) Once on the page swipe down from the top again and this time enable the Flash setting. Now reload the page and test to see if you have the same issue. 
    Let us know how you make out.
