Flash player not installing correctly as different user, same computer

I can view videos as one user on the same computer running IE9 windows 7, user is admin, but as another admin user, it keeps asking to install Adobe flash player, which I've done a million times, and it's still not working. It will not let me view any videos. Just a blank screen with "install adobe flash player" I've checked the IE security settings, they are the exact same. I have unchecked active x filter, nothing changed. I have reset IE settings to default, still no change. Firefox asked for adobe flash install, it went right through and works fine. I can find the adobe flash program under control panel, remove programs, but not under the normal start, programs, section. Wierd! Any ideas would be helpful, I'm about top pull my hair out because it makes no sense. This is a BRAND new computer, so all graphics drivers should be fine!

Perhaps the Shockwave Flash Object add-on is disabled on the other user's account?

Since it works fine on one account, this is probably not a driver issue. But (just F.Y.I.) when I bought my new Dell computer three months ago, almost all device drivers on it were outdated.

Flash Player not installing correctly

I tried to install a new copy of Quickbooks today and tells
me it needs Flash Player installed. I had flash Player previously
installed but now appear to be no good. I have tried to uninstall
it and reinstall with no luck. I am running Vista Home Premium on a
new machine with 4 GB memory. I have the full version of Flash CS3
installed.
When I try to uninstall Flash Player, if going under Control
Panels to Programs and Features the icon shown for Flash Player has
an X in the upper right corner of it.
I have had nothing but problems with Vista and CS3 trying to
install and uninstall program and have had it.

Download the uninstaller for Flash Player from "How to
uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control"
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
Quit ALL running applications, including all Internet
Explorer or other browser windows, AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo
Messenger, MSN Messenger, or other Messengers. Check the Windows
system tray carefully to make certain no applications which might
possibly use Flash Player are still in memory.
Install the new Flash Player from here:
www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
Check to see if Flash Player is installed:

Went to download flash player from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.
I click install and click the gold bar at top click install, the page move to the completeion page but nothing has be installed.
can you advise?

Pat Willener, are you an Adobe employee? You seem to live on this forum. Most people have a handful of posts at best; you have nearly 800. Do you have a job? How can you spend so much time camped out at this site? You seem to respond to every post. I certainly appreciate your willingness to assist people with their Flash Player problems; however, you keep offering the same tiring advice that everyone in the universe has already tried (uninstall/reinstall etc.). This advice is found on just about every site out there related to Flash Player problems. Have you noticed that most people who are frustrated with installing/running Flash Player 10 have already tried this? Yet, you still offer this as if it's a viable solution. If you're going to offer advice, please offer something new that might actually resolve the problem for most people (if there is a solution). Thank you.

Come on Apple and Adobe do some thing now!
It has been talked about in these forums since the iPhone came out in the USA, no Flash support.

Trying to access website but it says Adobe Flash Player not installed

www.caesars.com/thelinq live webcam
I have Windows 7, 64 bit with IE 1,0 32 bit. Flash Player 11.9.900.170.
Have been through the troubleshooting list several times but can't get this website to access Flash Player. FP seems to work everywhere else. Any help would be appreciated!

Apple has built-in malware protection in OS X. This malware protection was just updated by Apple to exclude all earlier versions of Adobe Flashplayer. The current version is 12.0.0.44.
You should not be downloading Adobe Flash Player from anywhere but Adobe's official download site.
Once you download it, it will go into your logindir/Downloads folder. Quit all browsers, and System Preferences (if it is open). Next to your Trash icon in the Dock is an alias to your Downloads folder. Click once, and the bottom item will be the just downloaded Flash Player installer. Single-click this installer. The Adobe Flash Player Installer will mount to your Desktop and open a window. Double-click on Install Adobe Flash Player. When done, right-click on the mounted Adobe Flash Player Installer Desktop icon and select Eject...
In the future, use the Flash Player preference from System Preferences to update itself. Once the installer mounts on the Desktop, close System Preferences, or Flash preference panel will not get updated correctly.

Upgraded flash player not installing

was wondering if anyone could help-i upgraded or tried to my adobe flash player it said it was installed, when i went to open my browser nothing really happened but now no videos play at all not on any site
any help?

See in each Browser which version of Flash it thinks it has...
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
The last PPC version was 10.1.102.64
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):

Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!

Mozilla 1.7 Flash Player not working correctly

Hi,
I just installed the VirtualBox image of Solaris 10 u8 and i'm trying to run the flash player out of the box using the default Mozilla 1.7 browser. It seems to work sometimes, but most of the time the flash videos are just white boxes. Here is a screen shot:

Hey ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ, Thanks for replying back.
This might be abit confusing but! - i mainly use firefox, and on there i went on onto what you told me, and there was no animation and also it says i have version 9 on it. Where as i downloaded and installed google chrome last night and i can see the animation on there perfectly, i also just now disabled the hardware acceleration, and everything works fine on there, i just went onto a youtube video and the video works perfectly, well apart from megavideo where underneath the video it says 'For better performance download the latest flash player' but the video works fine.
Im just really confused as to why it doesnt work on firefox?

Adobe Flash Player not installing after downloading

Windows Vista
Firefox 25.0.1
Flash Player 11.3
My Firefox browser has a red symbol that says "Outdated Adobe Plug-in" Block or continue allowing? Or another time it says to update.
It takes me to the download centre, I download the flash, install it as advised and nothing happens. I don't get any status update to say the installation has been completed. So I download/install again and it says only one instance of it can run but again, no confirmation it has been installed successfully.
I've only now tried to have updates set up automatically for Flash but whether that works I don't know as it's affecting me when I use websites or go on forums, making it jittery.
Can anyone help please?
Thank you.

Download the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers), Flash Player Uninstaller, Shockwave Player Uninstaller, and Shockwave FULL Installer by right clicking and selecting "Save Link as".
Save them. DON'T run them.
Reboot.
Use thehttp://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe uninstallers to remove the old plugin and Shockwave player completely.
Just to be sure, go to: C/Windows/System32/Macromed and delete the Flash folder if it still exists.
The go to: C/Windows SysWOW64/Macromed (if there is one) and delete the Flash Folder.
Open your Registry Editor (Start>Run, or press the Windows key+R - and type "regedit" then click OK)
In the Registry Editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE and delete the Macromedia folder.
Go to HKEY_CURRENT USER/Software and delete the Macromedia folder there as well.
THEN run the Shockwave installer, and after that, the Flash Player installer.
You should be up to date.

Flash Player not installing for IE8

I'm trying to install Flash Player into my IE8, but when I go to "Get Adobe Flash Player", it brings up a page saying "Sorry Adobe® Flash® Player is not available from Adobe.com for your device's operating system or browser." I checked the 'supported operating systems and browsers' list, and found my OS (Windows XP) and my browser (Internet Explorer 6.0 and above) in the list. I also have it installed on Firefox, so I'm wondering why it won't install into IE8? Thanks in advance!

Hi, What Service Pack do you have Installed on the XP? FF uses plugins. Flash Player Installs an ActiveX Control into the IE browsers.
Thanks,

Flash player not installing on Firefox or Internet explorer...

I downloaded firefox as my alternate web browser. I play games and things of the like on my laptop, which is a Toshiba Satellite C655 (I'm pretty sure it is ). My flash player works on Google Chrome, but not on Internet Explorer or FireFox. Any help? I've downloaded it (or so it says) 4 times since Sunday night, but everytime I go to play the game, the game says I need to install adobe flashplayer. And this is multiple games so it isn't the game.

Yes, I have downloaded and installed it. My windows version is Windows 7, I don't know what you mean by edition hmm, do you think it's the ActiveX thing people have been having trouble with? It is in those two folders. these are what are in the folder:
       C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
          Flash64_11_2_202_233.ocx
          FlashInstall
          FlashUtil64_11_2_202_233_ActiveX.dll
          FlashUtil64_11_2_202_233_ActiveX
          FlashUtil64_11_2_202_233_Plugin
          NPSWF64_11_2_202_233.dll
    C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash
          FlashInstall
          Flash32_11_2_202_233.ocx
          flashplayer.xpt
          FlashPlayerUpdateService
          FlashUtil32_11_2_202_233_ActiveX.dll
          FlashUtil32_11_2_202_233_ActiveX
          FlashUtil32_11_2_202_233_Plugin
          mms.cfg
          NPSWF32_11_2_202_233.dll
          FlashPlayerTrust(folder):
               Bandoo.cfg
If that makes any sense to you, and I hope I did it right, then can you tell me what the problem is?

Why do programs say flash player not installed when it is?

Flash Player not installed

I have applications trying to use Flash Player, such as e-card greetings, that show an errot to the effect Flash Player is not installed and to download the latest version. I do that, and same result. I uninstall Flashplayer and re-install - same result. I uninstal and remove all vestiges of Flash player from disk and the register and reinstall. Same result. No other applications are showing the same problem. What must I do to get Flash Player installed and recognised by stuff that wants to use it?

Thanks for the prompt reply Pat.
It is Win7 32 bit and IE9
In the meantime I finally discovered somehow the Adobe Shockwave Add-on was
disabled (by what I do not know). I enabled it and FlashPlayer then worked
for the e-card I was trying to read. Now, the Shockwave add-on has
mysteriously vanished from the Explorer add-on list, but the FlashPlayer
still works.
I just love Microsoft and any other of that ilk and their automatic updates
- not!

How to get flash player to install correctly

Hi Guys,
my name is Patryk and I need help installing adobe flash player on my computer:
So i download it and when i click on it it pops up with a screen that looks like its the background for the installer window, but I don't see any text, nor installation buttons. I tried to reinstall all of my browsers, Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer, but with no success.
I have Windows 7 64 bit installed on my Optiplex 755 computer. It seems like the installer is broken some how or another.

Thank you all for the replies; I'm quite surprised that this post generated this many replies, thank you all so much!
My problems started when IE tried to update to FP 14.
I did get my issue fixed; I used the Flash Player Uninstaller (found here: http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe), then restarted my computer.
I went to the Flash Player Archives page (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html), and downloaded the ZIP file under "Release and Content Debugger archives" of the last known good-working version (for me it was 13.0.0.214, released 5/13/2014).
This ZIP file contains 2 different versions for IE, Firefox, and Mac; one folder contains the normal versions, which didn't work for me....I kept getting the same error messages and had to keep using the Uninstaller, then restart computer, etc...
BUT, in the "Debug" folder, with the debug versions of FP, I first installed the IE version (typically named "flash_player_ax_debug.exe" or something similar with the ax designator), this installed just fine and now everything works again! I then updated Firefox with the other debug version, and everything works fine again.
I don't know if this will work for any other problems, but it worked great for me after having similar issues as the OP. Hope this helps.
