Flash player not showing up in start menue?

installed version 11 7 700 202 on new computer running windows 7 and internet explorer. Installations said complete, but the program does not show up in the start menue and does not activate when trying to view videos, sometimes getting the message that I do not have flashplayer plugin downloaded?  On the adobe help site the find version help tool displays that "flash player is running on your system" by showing the movie of that text and a red ball.  So what the heck is going on. I have restarted the computer a couple time too?

Flash Player is only a browser add-on, not an executable program, so it won't appear in the Start menu.
Regarding Internet Explorer, a couple of possibilities

  • Flash Player not showing up in Safari Plug-ins/Firefox Add-ons

    OS: Mac OSX 10.4.11
    Safari version: 4.1.3
    Firefox version: 3.0.19
    I am trying to do an online training course, but the site tells me I need to install the Flash Player plug-in to be able to view the site. I downloaded the newest version, and thought I had installed it, but I still get the same message when I go to the course website, and Flash Player doesn't show up anywhere in my plug-in/add-on lists for Safari or Firefox. Is there something I'm not doing right? Is my computer just too outdated? Or is this more likely to be a problem with that website. I haven't noticed problems with any other site, but I confess I haven't really been looking. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hello,
    Do you know if your computer is Intel or Power PC based?  If it's Power PC (sometime referred to as PPC) the last version of Flash Player for this architecture can be found here:  Flash Player 10.1.102.64
    Please download and extract the zip.  Navigate to and mount "/Flash Player 10.1.102.64/10_1r102_64/flashplayer10_1r102_64_ub_mac.dmg"  You should then be able to install using the normal procedure.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Flash Player not showing SWF movie

    Hi Everyone-
    First off thank you for anyone that is willing to send advise my way.
    I am using Windows 7 - Indesign CS5
    I have created a SWF movie exported from Flash with playback component.
    I have imported that SWF into Indesign CS5 and created an interactive SWF with a SWF movie embedded.
    This SWF works beautifully on my machine and others that have access to the same server - however when I remove the file with Resources foldes to another machine/ location the SWF movie will not display. It DOES display the playback component (looping continuously)  but NO SWF movie.
    My guess is that I am missing a file in the Resources folder but I am clueless as to what additional file I could be missing.
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks! I posted my issue there first......no one has an answer as of yet.

  • On the Adobe Flash Player web page,the Right Click Menu that near the taskbar can not be pop up.

    Environment：Win8/64bit Ent JP、IE10 JP、、Adobe Flash Player 11.3.372.94
      (when the language is English it happened too )　
    Problem:
    On the Adobe Flash Player web page，the Right Click Menu that near the taskbar can not be pop up.
    And On the Flash Player Help home page(http://helpx.adobe.com/en/flash-player.html) has the same problem,
    and menu round the red circle on the below picture is the problem Right Click Menu.
    As this problem，If we program use the Flex，the problem that the Right Click Menu can not be pop up must occur.
    eg:
    IF there is many lines when we use the ListController ,the data nears the taskbar can not be used the Right Click Menu。
    Relation:
    The problem does not happen when the environment is below
    1、IE10(Win7/64bit)
    2、Google Chrome(Win8/64bit Ent JP)
    Question：
    Whether this problem is resolved? If yes，please tell me the solution，thank you!

    Can you try to update Flash Player to a newer version (using Windows Update)?

  • Help with Flash Player- Not Playing

    I recently went to a website where it said that i needed to
    download the latest version of Flash Player. I followed the
    directions and installed it, and the movie came up after
    installation, but on the website it still said i needed to install
    flash player again. I went through the other forum posts and tried
    everything, but it still wouldn't show up. Then today i was on the
    website and finally the video came up, but then when i refreshed
    the page the video was gone and it again said i needed to install
    the latest version of Flash Player. The video has shown up twice in
    the past day, then says i need to reinstall again. I've tried
    everything, but the videos just wont show up. Does anyone know how
    to fix this for good?

    JDB... your problems and solutions are different (and much
    more complex). Read this CAREFULLY.
    Printable, lovingly formatted versions of these steps, valid
    as of 9/15/2007 are available. I recommend printing them and
    following along with the print version:
    .doc:
    http://www.supportflash.com/bent/flash_player_ocx_troubleshooting.doc
    .pdf:
    http://www.supportflash.com/bent/flash_player_ocx_troubleshooting.pdf
    The issue is this: You have multiple accounts on your XP
    machine. One account plays Flash no problem, the other doesn't,
    although both are Administrator accounts. Or possibly you have only
    one account, and that account fails to play any Flash content. In
    any case if you have ANY odd trouble with the Flash Player ActiveX
    control for Windows as of September 2007, these should be your
    steps. And yes, you need to do both sets of steps, in order!
    The cause: This is usually caused by either or BOTH of the
    following problems:
    1. Leftover locked bits of an old Flash Player installation
    2. Registry permission errors (aka 'ACL's)
    OK so what do you do about this?
    ONE: Identify possibly leftover Flash player bits
    a. Open C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder.
    b. Download the latest FP uninstaller from
    http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157.
    c. Run the uninstaller. If you get a notice saying you need
    to reboot, then reboot.
    d. Look at C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder.
    e. Does any file ending in .ocx remain? (flash.ocx,
    flasha.ocs, flash9d.ocx etc...)
    e1. If no, then you don't usually have any leftover locked
    bits.
    You're done with this part of the problem, proceed to TWO.
    e2. If yes, then that remaining .ocx file may be locked.
    Right click it
    and select properties and look at the version tab.
    What is the version number?
    f. Is the version number Flash Player 9.0.16.0 or earlier?
    f1. Use the uninstaller instructions from this technote:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/4da116d3
    -- section "Flash Player 9.0.16.0 and earlier"
    -- DO NOT re-register the uninstaller. ONLY do this
    UninstFl.exe part.
    Yes, you'll need to know how to use the command line to do
    this. If you're not
    comfortable with that then take your machine to someone who
    is!
    g. Is the version number Flash Player 9.0.28.0 or higher?
    g1. Use the uninstaller instructions from this technote:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/4da116d3
    -- section "Flash Player 9 (9.0.28.0) and later"
    -- DO NOT re-register the uninstaller. ONLY do this
    UninstFl.exe part.
    In both the D and E sections above you'll need to use the
    specific name of the control that remains
    in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash. So if you had a
    stuck flash9b.ocx[DJM1] in the folder
    and version was 9.0.28.0, your uninstall command would look
    like this:
    UninstFl.exe -u
    c:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx
    That said, if you have trouble running these commands it
    really is necessary to find someone who knows how
    to use the command line, either a friend or a local
    professional. Or spend some time learning about the
    command line yourself.
    h. RERUN the uninstaller you downloaded earlier. This should
    get rid of the remaining (now unlocked) .ocx file and fix any
    registry keys associated with it.
    ALL of section "ONE: Identify possibly leftover Flash player
    bits" is important. BUT this locked bit problem only happens on
    maybe one out of 50 machines. So most people with installation
    problems such as this are not going to have locked bits.
    AND even after reinstalling you may still have continued
    problems with Flash Player not being recognized.
    Then we have to move on to section two..
    TWO: Registry Permission Problems
    We have been working on Flash Player failures caused by
    Windows System Registry issues. We have not been able to determine
    what’s causing these permissions to change. But that change
    prevents the successful installation of Flash Player ActiveX
    control (used by IE Windows).
    Registry permission problems can be resolved using a tool
    called SubInACL, built by Microsoft to correct system registry
    issues.
    Symptoms: What to look for:
    1. If you install Flash Player on IE and are unable to see
    Flash content on any webpage
    2. After installation C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
    will have flash 9c.ocx in it but it failed to register
    3. It appears that Flash Player installed correctly, but
    unable to view Flash content
    4. Flash Player works on other browsers, but NOT Internet
    Explorer
    5. If you are missing groups in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Advanced
    Permissions
    6. If you have run registry cleaners in the past, this may
    have corrupted your system
    Warning: The following solution involves the Windows System
    Registry. Editing or manipulating the registry incorrectly can
    result in serious system damage which may require re-installation
    of the operating system. If you are not comfortable editing the
    registry, then take your system to a professional. If you choose to
    proceed, then it is essential that you create a complete system
    backup and a Windows System Restore Point before proceeding. Adobe
    Systems cannot be held responsible for damage resulting from this
    information.
    1. Select Start > Run
    2. Type in “regedit”
    3. Right click on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
    4. Select Permissions
    5. Select Advanced
    For Vista
    Compare your permissions with the ones in this screenshot.
    http://www.supportflash.com/vista_key.png
    For Window XP Pro or other flavors of XP
    Compare your permissions with the ones in this document
    “Troubleshooting system registry issues that prevent Flash
    Player installation” (scroll down to the bottom of page).
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=kb400116
    Notice any major differences, missing groups, incorrect
    permissions?
    How can you repair the System Registry, what's the fix
    Download SubInACL from Microsoft to fix permission issues
    that prevent the Flash Player Installation.
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=fb1634cb
    NOTE: The Microsoft version of the .cmd script run by
    SubInACL is not be run on any XP version other than Pro. HOWEVER,
    the Adobe .cmd script in the above technote is tested safe for ALL
    VERSIONS OF XP!!!
    If you have a Windows System Registry permission issue that
    sounds like the one described above, SubINACL may be the solution.
    Please note that if you have this issue on multiple accounts on one
    machine you’ll need to fix each machine individually.

  • OS X Mavericks not showing up in boot menu?

    Hi,
    I recently applied to the OS X Yosemite Beta program and downloaded and installed the Beta. I have a 1TB Hard drive in my MacBook Pro which is was partitioned in two partitions, one for OS X Mavericks and one for Bootcamp. I decided I wanted to keep my original partitions intact so I installed the Yosemite beta onto an external hard drive so I wouldn't affect my main system. The Yosemite Beta installed and booted fine from the external hard drive but when I rebooted my computer I was presented with option to boot into my Bootcamp partition or an OS X Yosemite Installer. I can boot into Windows fine but not OS X Mavericks. The OS X Mavericks partition is still intact but does not show up during start up. I tried using a third-party bootloader like rEFIt but doesn't seem to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Here is an image showing my boot menu, the items in orange are my external hard drive with the Yosemite Beta on it.

    Thanks for the reply, I managed to solve my problem by forcibly unmounting the install partition and booting into Bootcamp (My only option). From there I selected my OS X Mavericks partition from the Bootcamp menu in Windows and I rebooted successfully into it. For some reason it still wont show up in the boot menu  but rEFIt now works and will detect it along with the Bootcamp partition

  • Flash player not working with all programs

    Hi, I'm having trouble with flash player not being recognized by certain player apps... On Facebook when there is a video showing on my newsfeed it just shows three little lines pulsing in the middle but it dosen't play. Now, I can go to the page where the video is and play it but not on my news feed. Also I cannot play Pandora as it tells me I need the latest flash player which I know that I have but it isn't recognizing it. I have uninstalled flash player, reinstalled it .. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it .. I have also refreshed Firefox and it still dosen't work with those particular applications.. I have also gone to plugins and made sure that it shows that it's enabled and all the players are.. I have adobe flash and shockwave installed.. One thing that is curious though is that when I check to see if my flashplayers are updated in my plugins it comes up and tells me that Shockwave is vulnerable and needs to be updated but when I click on it and update it ... It shows that it worked but then it dosen't reflect that in my plugin update... HELP PLZ !! :)

    Thank you so much for your help!!! Most appreciative!!! :)

    I'm sorry if i did errors of spelling because I used google translation. I 'm french .

    I finally figured it out. Flash Player had not installed. I had to de-activate Active-X thru the safety tab on the menu bar and then download the Adobe Flash Player and now it's working. I re-activated Active X after I finished installing Flash,. Hope fully everything will keep working fine!

  • Flash player not working on safari; any reasons why?

    I just recently noticed that my safari flash player isn't working. As i was trying to watch some youtube videos, it keeps saying "Blocked-Plug in" when i continued to click on it, it then asks me to get the lastest flash player which i did. Even after downloading, redownloading and repeating the process, it still won't allow me to watch any videos. I've found some comments in here from the previous year with people who had experience the same things but their techniques aren't working either. Im just getting really frustrated and need some help. Fast

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    3. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    4. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • Using DVD Player, the show goes back to menu after every chapter, even though I selected "Play Entire Episode".

    It only does this on Reading Rainbow DVDs so far: Using DVD Player, the show goes back to menu after every chapter, even though I selected "Play Entire Episode".  It does this whether the laptop is plugged in or is using battery power.  How do I get it to play all??  Thanks.

    Turns out it was NOT the software or the Mac. I bought a portable DVD player and this problem happens with it, too.
