Flash player needs to be installed everyday and more!

   I've downloaded adobe flash player. it works for a little while then later on or the next time i boot up tells me i need to install adobe flash player to view a web page (like youtube, ect.) i've uninstalled it x15 or more and downloaded it all over again just to have this problem again and again and again. does anyone know why this is happening. nothing else does this, just the flash player. i've also tried installing 32bit instead of 64bit flash player and still the same. any help would be great. thank you.
P.S. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit system. Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421
       the very latest flash player

Try a clean install, then download the 64-bit offline installer(s) from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#Ins tall_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment

  • Keep getting message from sites that Adobe Flash Player needs to be installed

    I have a MacBook, OSX 10.7.5.  When I try to download a document, I am told that I need Adobe Flash Player and that I should download it.
    When I look on the Adobe website, to check something, I see that the newest version of Flash Player is installed on my computer.  As a second choice, I was given, I could download Adobe Air, but that didn't work either.
    I have no idea what I need to do to be able to get this information downloaded.
    I'm not sure if this is the correct community of whom to ask this question.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Why does Adobe Flash Player 11.9 keep installing over and over on Windows Internet Explorer?

    I am having a problem with Adobe Flash Player 11.9. When I visit a site that uses Adobe Flash Player (i.e. NBC News.com) the system keeps asking me to install Adobe Flash Player 11.9. However, Adobe Flash Player 11.9 is ALREADY installed on my system and is working fine. Each time I try to re-install Adobe Flash Player, it doesn't do anything except go through the installation process. Tell me how to stop the notifications.

    You've probably got cached files that keep sending outdated info to pages you visit.
    Download this file: Deep Clean.zip
    Close IE. Check your task manager to be sure the iexplore.exe process is terminated.
    Unzip the file.
    Double click the deepclean_set.bat file.
    A command prompt window will open and your Disk Cleanup settings manager will open too.
    Check EVERY box in the list and click OK.
    Then double click the deepclean_run.bat file.
    Again, a comman prompt window will open, and your Disk Cleanup will run, clearing many more files than the standard cleanup does. It WILL take a while to cleanup.
    When it finishes, you can delete the deepclean_set.bat file as you won't need it again, but keep the deepclean_run.bat as it can be used to "deep clean" your disk whenever you need it. Save it in your documents folder.
    Afterward, open IE again and go back to NBC. You shouldn't see any prompt to upgrade anymore.

  • Flash player needs to be installed each time I use the computer

    I need it for work and is a ripe old pain. Please help!

    Reinstalled this morning. It worked to view videos on reuters.com.  Turned off computer.
    Turned computer on again in the evening.  True to form, discovered it is not working again, and that I would have to reinstall it.  But first, Checked System32 and SysWOW64 to see what files were there before doing a reinstall, and for comparisons’ sake.  Previous to reinstall they are as follows :
    Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash files are:
    Flash64_11_1_102.ocx
    FlashInstall.log
    FlashUtil64_11_1_102_ActiveX.dll
    FlashUtil64_11_1_1102_ActiveX.exe
    Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash files are:
    Flash11e.ocx
    FlashInstall
    FlashUtil11e_ActiveX.dll
    FlashUtil11e_ActiveX
    Note:  I was right-clicking on each file name in the directory, then copying and pasting the file name into a new WORD document  to make the above lists.  This only worked with the System 32 files.  SysWOW64 files could not be cut and pasted because I got the message, “Word cannot obtain the data for Flash11e.ocx link”.  All the files in SysWOW64 had the same message.  Lazy me had to actually type out the SysWOW64 file names as opposed to copy and paste.   ;-)  Could "inability" to "obtain data" have something to do with the system being unable to retrieve the code to make it work???  I run 64 bit.(see my first post above).
    REINSTALL:
    Reinstalled this evening from : http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Confirmed that it is enabled in “manage add-ons” in the browser.
    Confirmed that same files as listed above are unchanged after the reinstall.
    Rebooted.
    Confirmed that same files as listed above are unchanged after reinstall and reboot.
    Confirmed it is enabled in “manage add-ons” in the browser.
    Hope this helps, cuz really need a solution.  I’m pretty sure that once I turn my computer off this evening, and then next time I turn it on again, I’m going to have to reinstall Flash again. 
    Thank-you.

  • I hv installed latest version of Adobe Flash Player even then when I am not able to run Video and getting messgae "Latest Version of Flash Player needed"

    I was successfuly running videos on Mozila Fire Fox but from 2/3 days when i click video i am getting message (copied and pasted here)
    Flash Player upgrade required
    You must download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content.
    Even I hd already installed latest version of Adobe Flash Player

    Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.6.1.629 is not Flash.
    There are two different versions of Flash, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by most other browsers.
    1.Download the Flash Plugin version setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />
    See this: <br />

  • My Mac refuses to open certain pages e.g. google/facebook for a weird reason "Your flash player may be out of date and you need to update it", but my flash player is up to date.

    My Mac refuses to open certain pages e.g. google/facebook for a weird reason "Your flash player may be out of date and you need to update it", but my flash player is up to date. I tried to install a new flash player version "setup.exe" but it said the file cannot be opened because the application is not supported on MAC OS X, does anyone have same problem? please help.

  • Flash Player 11.3 Installer Keeps Loading and Trying To Install Itself - Cannot Get It To Stop!!

    Because of all of the problems that I have been experiencing with the Flash Player 11.3, I uninstalled it and downgraded to 11.1, which seems to be a more stable version.  I used the uninstaller as recommended by Firefox and then grabbed the 11.1 version off of the Adobe website.
    All went well until I started getting the 11.3 installer loading itself about every 3 minutes.  You can almost time it to the minute.  It really sucks.
    I have gone in and tried turning off automatic updates in the global settings and the one that you can do online in the settings manager at: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.htm l
    Despite my best efforts, it keeps coming up and loading the 9mb install and then goes to the 11.3 screen where you accept the terms and conditions.
    This comes up...
    Then it goes to this:
    I would like this to stop.  Thus far, the only way to stop it is to upgrade to that version.  I have tried uninstalling everything and it still comes back.
    I tried deleting the temp files it creates on my hard drive.  I found 622 instances of the files it keeps loading.
    I am REALLY tired of this and would like to have it stop.
    Any suggestions??????????????

    Here is part of the log.  I deleted a bunch of the duplicate entries as they were basically the exact same with the only thing changing being the time stamps.  In answer to both Chris's question, here is the log.  In answer to Pat, the files that are running or that are attempting to run are the ones mentioned in this log, the installer (FP_AX_CAB_INSTALLER.exe) and InstallFlashPlayer.exe.  Those are the only two running that I can see.  I have been keeping a close eye on that, thinking that maybe something else is initiating it.  Nothing that I see anyhow.
    I am almost to the point of uninstalling Firefox and starting over.  I'd hate to do it because of the pain that goes with starting it over again and getting the extensions and add-ons again... However, the flip side to that is dealing with this whole thing.
    I have to say, the current version of Flash REALLY REALLY wants me to install it.
    If you need the whole log, I put it up at: Install Log
    Let me know your thoughts.  I am usually pretty good at solving things like this.  This one has me puzzled.
    Thanks

  • After installing Flash Player, I lost sound on Youtube and other sites.  How do I fix it?

    After installing Flash Player, I lost sound on Youtube and other sites.  How do I fix it?  I still have sound on some apps.

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Operating   system  
    Browser  
    Flash   Player version
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows  
    Mac
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
    HTML5   video  
    Non-HTML5 video
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • The flash player plugin is correct installed, but firefox keeps asking to install it and then says not possible

    I have installed flash player.
    The test site of Adobe says it is correct. When I switch it off and do the test the test says "flash player is switched off, press to switch it on" when I dos so the test says that is corectly installed.
    When I open the plug-in screen there is no adobe flash player, but only shockwabe flash player, but switching this one on and off had the above mentioned effect.
    I have checked the registry (since I could not find anything about flash player in the program list, software in configuration, nor in program files and found that in the windows/system32/macromed/flash directory are the files flashutil9b.exe and flashutil_10uPlugin.exe and some other files, which gives me the idea that flash player is in effect installed.
    Nevertheless a flash file in my website keeps asking for the plugin and tells than that it cannot be found.

    An example of my website is http://www.vangelder.nl/example
    My real website is protected, but the example shows the problem.
    I hope you can give the solution.
    The big problem is, that since I have these problems (on several computers, working on XP and Vista) I suppose that the visitors on my site wil have the same problem.
    I heve been working hours to find out what the problem is, installed different players, used different formats, searched the internet for a solution and I don't want to export this problem to the visitors of my website.

  • Flash player does not properly install on Firefox and Opera.

    Requirement for flash player just randomly started popping up on Firefox and Opera. I used the adobe uninstaller to uninstall flash player, reset computer then install again, but the installer finishes then when the web browser pops up to confirm in says:
    Adobe Flash Player could not be installed.
    You can troubleshoot your installation with the following resources:
    Troubleshooting Windows Installation
    Flash Player Help and Support
    Shockwave flash isn't installed in plugins but videos do load. On this "Flash Player Help" the animation does not load but videos on youtube does load and work.
    Does anyone know a solution for this?
    Thanks

    Hi Joface333,
    Please do the following:
    Close all browsers and apps that may use Flash Player (e.g. instant messaging clients, Pandora and the like).
    Run the uninstaller posted at the bottom of the Download Adobe Flash Player 15 Beta for Desktops - Adobe Labs page
    Reboot the machine
    After logging back in, check the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash and C:\Windows\SysWow64\Macroemd\Flash directory.FlashInstall.log file should exist in both directories.  mms.cfg file should only exist in the 'syswow64' directory.  Depending on what other Adobe software, if any, you have installed there may be other CFG files and a FlashPlayerTrust directory.  If there are other Flash Player files listed, take a screen-shot and post them using the instructions previously provided.
    Run the installers posted to the bottom of this page, Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows
    If there are any errors, take a screen-shot of the error dialog and upload the screen-shot and the FlashInstall.log file from both 'system32' and 'syswow64' directories using the instructions previously provided.

  • I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image".  I don't know what this is and I cannot see anything that requires Flash Player.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player, but it was installed to a "disk image".  I don't know what that is, but I cannot view anything that requires flash player.  What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for your help, but that didn't do any good either.  I have been double clicking from the download files, double clicking on the "install adobe flash player", closing the anti virus, closing Safari, watching the install progress and clicking finish.  It indicates that "flash player" is installed, but every time I try to view something requiring flash player, it tells me I must download it.  It shows up in the "system preference"  and from there I can make some changes, but it still won't let me view anything requiring "flash player".   It does not show up in my apps like Adobe Reader does.  It shows up in the "downloaded files" section of "Finder".  I'm getting really perplexed over my inability to get this right.

  • My automatic adobe flash player installer tried to install google chrome and did not allow opt out

    my automatic Adobe Flash Player updated tried to install Google Chrome without giving me the opporltunity to opt out?

    I witnessed this myself two nights ago while testing an upgrade in Windows 7.
    It HAS been reported to development, but... like 99% of the people here, we (myself and the MVP user who reported it) are just Adobe users like you, so reporting it with screenshots was the best we can do.
    I use Chrome myself, but only for testing webpages I build, and I've never used their toolbar, because it's an open portal for malware... hence the report filed with DEV.
    All we can do now is cross our fingers and hope they have it worked out by the next update cycle.

    What is your operating system & browser?

  • In recent weeks many websites show "blocked plug-in". Clicking onto it reveals a notice that my Adobe Flash Player needs updating but I'm not able to do it because Step 3  of the update has "blocked plug-in" in it.

    In recent weeks many websites on my OS X (10.6.8) have been showing a white patch with "blocked plug-in" on it preventing access to all of the site. When I
    click onto it a message appears stating that my Adobe Flash Player needs updating and when I have downloaded the upgrade & moved  to Step 3 I get
    a "blocked plug in" on it as well. How do I resolve this issue?
    Archeee

    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
    You can also try these illustrated instructions from C F McBlob to perform a full "clean install", which will resolve the "Blocked Plug-in" message when trying to update via the GUI updater from Adobe.
    Use the FULL installer for 12.0.0.44:  Flash Player 12 (Mac OS X)
    And the instructons are here: Snow Leopard Clean Install.pdf

  • I can't download Adobe Flash Player? It gets to 50%  and fails, saying I must close 'Safari'. Safari is no open, yet it gets stuck repeatedly on this?

    I can't download Adobe Flash Player? It gets to 50%  and fails, saying I must close 'Safari'. Safari is no open, yet it gets stuck repeatedly on this?
    This is my first Mac and I'm not convinced of them.....nah, I just need a shove in the right direction.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Is this a problem with the DOWNLOAD or with the INSTALLATION? You should be able to download with Safari open but you do have to quit Safari in able to install. Try downloading the dmg file, restart with no apps open and then trying to install Flash Player.
