Flash Player nightmare

Problems started when i received an AVG looking virus/malewear that hijacked my ie. Used malewarebytes program which seemed to remove the malware. Since then I have been unable to use flash player to watch videos or do anything which requires flash player. I am running windows7 32 bit with ie8. I originally had Avast anti virus, removed it, and installed Microsoft security essentials. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall new flash player 10.2.... using the download manager and have installed it manually. I have used every microsoft fix it program on ie, changed it back to original version, completed virus scan and malware scan repeatedly. If you install flash player it shows up on add/remove programs menu in control panel but not it program files or add on section in ie tools. I have used a kill bug error program posted in previous posts and installed the command in the registry. Nothing works. Checked seurity settings and verified on medium. Everything has been tried with antivirus turned off. Any help would be appreciated.

exactly the same happened to me, this avg virus infected my laptop. I have run scans and have seemed to remove it yet still no success with the flash player.
I have also attempted to download firefox, says download successful but when i click on the desktop to start firefox, an error message comes up saying file cannot be found!!
I am completely baffled and fed up!

Adobe Flash Player Nightmare

How do I download adobe flash player? Ive tried everything. It was installed and it showed installed but all sites told me I didn't have fash. I uninstalled adobe flashplayer 16 and it still won't let me install it. What do I do. Shockwave is installed and enabled.

regarding ''some add-on's causing problems in Firefox, Disable All of Them'' is too open-ended for me

You misread my instructions. It said;
Some added '''toolbar''' and '''anti-virus''' add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
<blockquote>
Consequently, could you provide further commentary regarding those more specific detrimental add-on's in Firefox?
</blockquote>
It happens now and then. An add-on works fine for years. But then
the Firefox program is changed. So the add-on writers have to rewrite
their program for the upgrade.
Type '''about:addons'''<Enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager.
Hot key; '''<Control>''(Mac:<Command>)''<Shift> A)'''
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select '''Extensions.'''
Disable a few add-ons, then '''Restart Firefox.'''
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
If the problem continues, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until
the problem is gone. After, you know what group is causing the issue.
Re-enable the last group '''ONE AT A TIME''' (restarting FF) until the problem returns.
Once you think you found the problem, disable that and re-enable the
others, then restart again. Let us know who the suspect is detective.

High CPU Usage with Flash Player 11

I am not sure what the problem is but ever since I had those issues I went back to flash archive and installed a previous version that did not come with the flash plug in and I never had any problem with it since I am currently using the Adobe flash version 10 plug in with an adobe flash player active X. and I find out it was the new flash plug in that is the issue it suck all your ram. If you get some people who is having the same issues where flash player is duplicating and eating all their ram then ask them to try the version 10 plug in with the flash 11 active x it will work fine. I tried to run the version 10 flash as a complete set but some dynamic site that plays videos require a later version of flash active x to work and will be asking for an update however by keeping the flash 10 plug in there won't be any other issues. Adobe need to find out what is wrong with the new flash plug in and run a comparison with the flash 10 plug in. I hope this will help some user to get over the issues that made my online experience a nightmare for a while too.

The best way to get a resolution is to address your individual issue. Your complaint is that RAM usage is high, which is unrelated to the thread from the guy on Mac that was seeing High CPU usage on high definition video.
In order to fix the issue that you're describing, we need to be able to reproduce it. Please provide the information below, and the results of the basic troubleshooting steps as you work through them. This will help us narrow down the root-cause, and allow us to find comparable hardware in our compatibility lab to reproduce the issue with.
Basic Troubleshooting Info
To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
- Operating system
- Browser
- Flash Player version - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
- Antivirus/Anti-Malware software and versions
The first step is to work through the video troubleshooting guide for your operating system, here:
- Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html
- Mac - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.htm
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 - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_For_Windows_users
- Mac - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_For_Mac_OS_users
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 this by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the menu.

- Non-HTML5 video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTl3U6aSd2we

I cannot watch video's in the mobile web without a currect flash player for mobile phone! what virsion of player i need?

I can't watch video's in the mobile web without a currect flash player for mobile phone's. what do I need to do(what is the currect virsion)?
If you have an answer just send it to me by e-mail!
[email protected]

If you find anything out please share. I have flash projects (SWF) files created in Captivate 5 that play fine in Flash and Dreamweaver, but freeze up on the web in safari, firefox, opera and chrome. Even files that used to play just fine. This upgrade has been a nightmare - I have spent hours troubleshooting to no avail. It does not seem to be a problem for windows users - only macs.

Flash Player 9 Playback Problems

Hi all,
I have a problem with Flash Player 9 (FP9) playing certain
videos. Mostly, these videos were recorded using Camtasia. Whenever
I watch them, the video plays fine, but the audio gets off track.
It will be playing along, then it sounds as though someone bumped a
fast forward button, because for a split second, it'll sound like
Alvin and the Chipmunks. A few seconds later, for just a split
second, it'll sound like the speed slowed way down. This continues
throughout the whole video.It causes the audio not to match up with
the video, along with being very annoying...
It does this in IE and Firefox. I uninstalled and
reinstalled it numerous times, but to no avail. I finally installed
Flash Player 8 on Firefox, and it works perfectly. It doesn't do
this on my girlfriend's computer or my computer at work, both which
have FP9 installed. I even just installed a new hard drive, and
installed XP, and it even does it on my new hard drive. I have
tried everything that I can think of, and still the only solution
is to use an earlier version such as 8. Is there something I'm
missing, a plug, a patch, etc. Could it have to do with my
computer? It is a Toshiba L25-S1216. Thanks for listening, or
should I say reading...

Darrin,
This is the first Adobe post I've found where someone in
authority has said it would be fixed. Do you have an estimated time
when? Many of our college students are extremely frustrated because
watching our educational video content is part of the course
homework...it's already been a month into the semester and the
sound tracks are too annoying (because of FlashPlayer 9.0.115.0)
for them! We can only advise them to uninstall and reinstall an
earlier version, at their own risk, because there seems to be many
issues with that process, as well. This has been a nightmare for so
many of our instructors and students at Nashville State Community
College. Please please take down the FlashPlayer 9.0.115.0 until
you can provide a better one because right now you're just
spreading the invasion of alien sounds.

Flash Player won't download on iMac

I am trying to update my Flash Player but I just go round and round the two Adobe download sites in a circle. Nothing happens when I click the download button.
iMac (2011), Mavericks OS 10 9.1
Existing Flash player version 11.9.900.170
New version offered by the Adobe site: 12.0.0.38
Safari Version 7.0.1
In Mavericks > System Prefs > Flash Player > Advanced I have checked "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)"
In Mavericks > System Prefs > Security & Privacy > Firewall, the Firewall is turned OFF.
In Safari > Security > I have checked "Enable Java Script" and
I have checked "Allow Plugins. In "Manage Website Settings", under "Allow subsites to use this plug-in with the settings below", and "Currently Open websites", get.adobe.com is "Always Allow".
The Problem:
I have visited:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html
which confirms my present version of Flash Player. I press on:
"Download Adobe Flash Player page by clicking here."
That takes me to:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
but when I press the big rectangular orange button "Install now" I am sent to:
http://www.adobe.com/uk/
which is promotion for the Cloud. At the bottom is "Downloads" and a button "Adobe Flash Player". Pressing that button takes me back to:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
So I am going round in circles with no error message to tell me what is wrong.
I got the same result when running Mountain Lion (OS 8), now also in Mavericks
I need to use another application that requires the current version of Flash Player. What a nightmare!
Any ideas please?

Hello,

Flash Player crashes when watching online video on Win 7

Hi.
I have just built a new machine and it's got a pretty good spec but I've been having this problem since I installed windows 7.
I have tried 64-bit first and then 32-bit version but still had the same problem.
I can be watchingonline content such as a programme on BBC iplayer or 4OD ( or any other site you'd care to mention) and at some point the whole screen freezes and i'm left with no choice but to press the reset button.
I'm fairly confident that i've narrowed this problem down to flash player (but not 100% sure).
This will occur several time per day & is driving me nuts. Everything else about the machine works great but online videos are a nightmare.
Any suggestions anyone?
Your help will be much appreciated.
P.S.
Yes I do have the latest version flash player.

Hi.
No, nothing works.
Just went in to event viewer and it's saying something about an atikmdag error.
Been googling and this seems to be linked to ati video cards.
also stuff about Kernel 41 error but from what i can figure out.. this is a very generalised error.
Maybe it's not flash? But why does it only happen during streaming?
Getting wound up with this.
Want to buy a new videocard to see if that would work but i can't afford to waste the money if its not the problem.
Why didn't i just buy a basic Dell?

Adobe Flash Player Installer keeps popping up

Every few minutes a get a pop up of the Adobe Flash Player Installer asking me if I want to install the latest version.
I have already the latest version.
I have already uninstalled the Flash Player and reinstalled it. I have done this several times using the Windows Control Panel Uninstall Program. I have also used the Adobe uninstaller tool from the Adobe website.
I have already configured Adobre Flash Player to never update.
I have already googled for this, apparently not so uncommon, issue.
Running Windows 7 x64, Internet Explorer 10, Chrome
Thanks,
Antonio

Hello Chris,
Sorry for the late reply. I only saw the first part of your message days ago. Perhaps it has been edited since.
This problem keeps happening and it is truly a nightmare. I have tried other things including going to the Registry (which I have not altered).
In response to your question:
1. In Windows Task Manager I see
1.a: InstallFlashPlayer.exe *32 Description: Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 11.6 r602. Location: C:\Users\Antonio\AppData\Local\Temp\{513974BF-C40D-4C4D-9367-A59EECC45B2D} and
1.b: FP_AX_CAB_INSTALLER64.exe *32 (Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 11.6 r602) C:\Users\Antonio\AppData\Local\Temp\ICD7.tmp
This second one, I did not see before. It has appeared after I reinstalled Flash Player at the request of Adobe Acrobat when converting to pdf an email that, apparently, contained Flash.
2. From Process Explorer
2.a. For InstallFlashPlayer.exe: Parent: FP_AX_CAB_INSTALLER64.exe(5108)
Curent Directory: C:\Users\Antonio\AppData\Local\Temp\ICD7.tmp\
Command Line: "C:\Users\Antonio\AppData\Local\Temp\{513974BF-C40D-4C4D-9367-A59EECC45B2D}\InstallFlashP layer.exe" -iv 6
Path: C:\Users\Antonio\AppData\Local\Temp\{513974BF-C40D-4C4D-9367-A59EECC45B2D}\InstallFlashPl ayer.exe
2.b. For FP_AX_CAB_INSTALLER64.exe: Parent: iexplore.exe(7292)
Current Directory: C:\Users\Antonio\AppData\Local\Temp\ICD7.tmp\
Command Line: C:\Users\Antonio\AppData\Local\Temp\ICD7.tmp\FP_AX_CAB_INSTALLER64.exe
Path: C:\Users\Antonio\AppData\Local\Temp\ICD7.tmp\FP_AX_CAB_INSTALLER64.exe
One clarification: The installer does not show up at regular intervals. Sometimes it shows up every few minutes and sometimes it takes longer to appear.
Thank you very much for your help

How to debug flash player crashes?

Hello there
I'm building this game with flash...when I test and debug my
project from flash it works fine but when playing the game in a
browser, it crashes very often...after a couple seconds/minutes of
play. I installed the latest flash player and tried on a couple
computers with no luck...so how can I know what's crashing? or how
can I have more info on why it crashes? what kind of debug tool can
I use when flash player crashes within the browser. it's really
hard to know what the problem is.
Thanks for the answers if any :)
Marco

Browser crashes caused by the Flash Player is the stuff of
nightmares, it's nearly impossible to debug. In fact, I think
kglads advice about flashtracer is the best news I've seen on the
subject (I didn't know about flashtracer -- thanks kglad).
What player build do you have in IE? What is it in FireFox?
You can check the exact build here:
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/
Can you provide a link to the crashing SWF? Does it crash
both IE and FF?

What other suggestions can you offer me to end this nightmare and finally get the adobe flash player installed onto my desktop? THANK YOU!!

I don't know what kind of things you get downloaded instead of Flash Player; from where are you downloading it?

Adobe Flash Player 10.1 freezing a lot...

Hi,
since i've updated to 10.1 my days have been a nightmare on the internet. Every site which contains flash freezes on scrooling, freezes while i'm watching a video which support flash, freezes while im watching youtube videos... this didnt happened before. Sometimes theres a few minutes that everythings fine, but if i do some actions on internet the nightmare freezing come back... its very strange.
My specs:
2 GB ram 400mhz
Pentium 4 3GHZ
ATI Radeon Pro 9600 Series(latest drivers)
Latest version Firefox.
WinXP SP3 (this happens also on Windows 7)
This specs do worked fine whit A.F.P 10 version, but i can't install, gives me to update to 10.1......
Also i've tried other options about uninstalling instaling again, java etc....
The best test that i have made to get this conclusion that is the adobe flash player 10.1 problem is that i formated my disc and after i installed WinXP i installed adobe flash player 10.1 after and problem persist. Freezing!
Please, solve this problem on next version. It's very anoying!

Hi. I seem to be having a similar problem. I have Flash Player version 10,1,82,76. While viewing videos on YouTube or perhaps a news video (CBS, ABC, NBC, etc.) or more especially listening to music on a streaming radio station, the broadcast will play for 30-45 seconds and then just stops. It happens on every streaming radio station I may be listening to. I have read some of the responses here and have checked various things on my computer. The player is properly installed. My graphic/video cards drivers are current. I read something in one of the replies (can't see it right now) about making sure something regarding the player is enabled. I checked that and it is enabled. I also read something about disabling the hardware accelerator. I'm not sure how to get to wherever I need to to check that. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the player and also checked my Java. Here are my system specs:
Windows 7 (32-bit)
IE8
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!!!!
Thanks

Deploying Flash player with Active Directory Group Policy

I manage hundreds of computers at several different locations
and have the nightmare of updating Flash Player everytime a new
version comes out. The file I download from Adobe's site is an .exe
and does not contain a .msi file for Active directpry deployment.
How can I use group policy in Active Directory to deploy this
software to all my computers without me having to individually
touch each machine?

My flash player does not work on my tablet.

My flash player does not work on my tablet

Your tablet uses Android OS.
There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both free in the GooglePlay store. These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.
