Flash player needs to be reinstalled after start up

I have a windows 7 professional 64 bit computer which i have to install adobe flash player every time I start up.
I am running firefox as my browser

Why you "have to" install it after every startup? Do you get any error message?

Flash Player needs to be reinstalled every day

Without any specific cause, I have found that to view most videos I must reinstall Flash Player every time I start my computer whether I use Firefox or IE. Of course Chrome works always no problems, but it is not my desired browser- that's firefox. Once installed Flash works perfectly. If the computer is shut down, restarted or allowed to sleep, Flash must be reinstalled. I can't find any settings that effect this issue. Very frustratring.

What about if you tried those steps, and it's still not working? Have the same issue; flash keeps uninstalling itself, and tried that solution. Reinstalled flash, said it worked. Downloaded the thing from Windows, downloaded the attachment and extracted to the same folder, ran it as admin. Little DOS box seemed to work fine. Restarted the computer, and yet again, flash is missing. I get nothing at all when trying to view videos. Becoming very frustrating! Using the latest Firefox, Windows Vista (64-bit), and never had issues before. All was fine till quite recently (past week). So, what next?
Edit to add: Tried, after restarting the computer, to reinstall Flash Player, and no wit won't install AT ALL. keeps saying it's "already in use", and then trying to open multiple new downloads to install it. Becoming extremely frustrating.
Have also tried to install an earlier version from the site, but every time I try, I get the messagethat it can't install because it's not the latest version.

HT5364 Adobe flash player not working on Safari after being installed, System OS X 10.9.2 has been just updated to Maverick

Adobe flash player not working on Safari after being installed, System OS X 10.9.2 has been just updated to Maverick

    Enable Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.
    Click "Manage Website Settings"
    Highlight "Adobe Flash Player", "Allow" and then "Done".

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

Why do I have to reinstall Flash Player on my system everytime I start/restart sys?

I have to reinstall Flash Player (latest ver) everytime I start or restart my system (Win7, x64, IE10). I have followed all the instructions provided by the Adobe community on correctly installing FP, but to no avail. Is there something in my system that deletes FP when I start or restart the system? Help...

Help-Flash needs to be reinstalled after every reboot

I need a little bit of help and I'm hoping someone might have the solution to my problem. This has been going on for 2-3 weeks now. Flash installs and works perfectly fine. Then when I restart my computer and try to use a program that requires flash.. I get a white screen and it doesn't load anything, but if I look at my add-ons for my browser it does show up there. If I reinstall flash again, it works just fine until I restart my computer again. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash. That does nothing.
I have Windows 7 (64 bit) and I use Mozilla Firefox as my browser (right now it's ver 8.0)
I have tried searching online for people with a similar problem because usually I can find a solution to my problems, but this is a very frustrating one. I just can't find any topic that helps solve my problem. I'm tired of leaving my computer on and it's ridiculous to have to keep reinstalling. Please help.

No, still a white screen and now when I download flash player my antivirus program says it finds a threat called Kelihos with it. I'm not downloading from anywhere, but the official site and when I look it up it says this thing spreads by email. I haven't actually opened any email in awhile. Any thoughts?
Kelihos is, or was a botnet. It was taken down by Microsoft a couple of months ago. See Microsoft brings Kelihos botnet to a halt If you had that on your system, then yours was one of a few thousand machines that distributed SPAM all over the world.
Can you download a security app at work? If so, download the free version of Malwarebytes and then rename it to something random. The setup file is called mbam-setup-1.51.2.1300.exe
But if your machine has been compromised, then hackers will have taken the precaution of ensuring that you cannot install it. By renaming it to say, xxkekksxx.exe for example, you have a better chance of being able to install and run it, assuming of course that your system has been compromised. To rename a file, click it once, hit F2 and then call it something else. Then copy it to a USB stick and finally drag it onto to your own machine from there. Run a full system scan and delete anything it finds.
The reason I say this is because usually, once a machine has been infected with one trojan, it downloads even more malware without the need for user intervention. As you can see from this Microsoft article regarding Kelihos there are hardly any outward signs that a machine has been infected.

Flash Player needs be reinstalled every time Opera is booted.

Every time I boot Opera, and when Flash Player is requested, a notice is shown telling me that the program is not on my computer, regardless of how many times I have already reinstalled it. This has been a consistient problem for a year now, but I've ignored in the past. This occurs with Opera 32 and 64 bit. Help would be much appreciated.

Can you try installing Flash Player from the following installer?
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_64bit.exe
In addition you might want to type in "opera:plugins" into the address bar to verify that plugins are enabled and look for the "Shockwave Flash" entry and verify it too is enabled.

Why is the color offset on Flash Player in my Firefox, even after reinstalling both Firefox and Flash Player?

I have the latest version of Flash Player, the latest version of Firefox and my system is a Windows 7 64-bit. Every time I view a Flash Player window, the green color is offset down about one-quarter of the window. This makes it difficult to use Firefox to watch Flash content. This does not happen on any other browsers I have.

When I click that link, it goes (as it should from a U.S. IP Address) to the hyperlinked page 87, which is where the English portion begins.
Your browser or International settings may prevent it from doing so, but I have nine machines that ALL parse the link the same way.

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: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{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).

Flash Player doesn't work consistently after installation on Mac

Hello,
I'm using a Macbook Air with OS X Yosemite and the Player appears to not work. More specifically it looks like the video is going to load but it either crashes while loading or just doesn't load at all. I've tried changing the settings to the recommended and doing a clean uninstall and reinstall. I've also used both Google Chrome and Safari but I still get similar results. Very infrequently the player will work after refreshing the page upwards of 10 times but as you can imagine this is problematic when wanting to watch something live. Also I have Flash Player 16 installed which is the most up to date I can have on my system. I've also tried to clear the cache of both, Chrome and the Macromedia and Adobe files on my Mac but still have failure. It can't be the websites I'm trying to access because friends have accessed the same sites without any problems while using the same browser. This is most problematic because the thing I most want to use Flash Player for are subscription base therefore I feel like at this moment I'm wasting my money.
Thanks for the help

Thanks for the note.
Please give us some details on the specific OS version and model that you're using. We'll try and find a comparable machine to reproduce it with. You can find the details under Apple > About This Mac > More Info > System Report. Also, direct links to one or more videos that reproduce this problem consistently would be very helpful.
In the meantime, does disabling hardware acceleration help? There's a section in the video troubleshooting guide below that covers it.

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.

Issue with Youtube and Flash Player, videos don't play after a while

When I go to Youtube I can watch videos, but after I've player 5 or 6, when I select the next one, I get a snowy screen with a message "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback. Get the latest Flash Player". Issues is I already have the latest Flash Player, and it was playing fine just a minute ago. But from then on I cannot play more videos until I restart the computer. I'm tired of reinstalling Flash every day.
Win 7 64 bits, IE 9 and Firefox (happens with both)
Flash Player 11.7.700.202
Apparently the browser at first recognizes that Flash is installed, but then it doesn't find it anymore. Not sure how that happens.

strangest thing... a few 'non-youtube' sites still work ok, but still complain 'no javascript' ..
so went to firefox (v17.0.4 ESR) 'tools, options, content' and yup, javascript UNTICKED!! :O :O my bad memory? something else??? {shrugs}
ticked it, now ok........ think im getting old?????? ROFL..

I lost flash player so tried to reinstall but got error messge the IE has to close?

I lost flash player so tried to install again but got message that IE had to close. No other windows were open??

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Sometimes application are still running on background, not visible to users, you need to close them using "Windows Task Manager"
To close such programs use the Windows Task Manager. To start Task Manager, take any of the following actions:
Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.
Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then click Task Manager.
Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab. On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.
Thanks,
Vikram
