FLASH PLAYER NOT STAYING ENGAGED AFTER DOWNLOAD

For the last 6 months out of 2 years of ownership on a Windows 7 HP PC, I have had increasing difficulties viewing videos on Youtube, Facebook and others. I now frequently get prompts to download Adobe Flash that I had happily used for 18 months without problems.
The Geek Squad provided an uninstall so I coulds start clean. I picked up my PC on Sunday and tried some Les Paul from YouTube
I have disabled Weatherbug, ActiveX Filtering, closed all other features that interfered with the actual download. I have cycled off and re-started my PC to lock in the program, before trying videos my High School classmates have sent to our group. I have Chrome on my PC, but that download sometimes whats to install it again. Regardless, I am frustrated with Adobe Flash and losing confidence in Adobe in general. What on earth can I do to get this program to work effectively once more?
Sincerely,
Larry

  • Flash player not loading videos after firefox update to 32.0.1

    Hi,
    I use Firefox portable and use it for work. I do moderation of videos. I open a page with 5-20 videos that load with Flash Player and view them. Today there was a Firefox update to 32.0.1 version. After update when I open a page I only get 1 video loaded and the others are blank. When I right-click on area where a video should be I get "Movie not loaded..." greyed (can not click) and "About Adobe Flash Player 15.0.0.152..."
    I checked and I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player plugin. It was updated few days ago and worked fine until Firefox update. I also checked to open a page with SRWare Iron (also portable browser) and everything works.

    I tried reinstalling Flash twice. Did it as on the link for Windows. The second time I erased also a Flash folder in SysWOW64. Tried installing Adobe Shockwave Player, didn't help and when I disabled Flash plugin and left only Adobe Shockwave Player plugin, didn't get any videos just a link to get Flash.
    Tried this with ProtectedMode=0, also didn't help, everything was the same.
    So still, what ever the number of videos I open on one page/tab, I only get to see one video, the others are blank.

  • Flash player not working with pogo downloaded games

    I had to do a full system recovery. I have Vista home Premium sp2 with IE 7.  Before I did this recovery my downloaded and purchased game thru pogo was working just fine. I do have the latest version of flash player.  Now all I get is the error message that  it needs version 8 or higher to play. Other games that I have purchased and downloaded are working fine with no error messages.     And also there is one file in the macromed/flash that will not uninstall when I use the uninstall tool.  It is flashUtil9b.  And I used the recovery disc that came with my laptop.  I also have everything set to administrator privileges in the properties for the games and have allowed access.  Any ideas?

    no solutions?

    Hello,
    Please provide more details so that we may be able to assist you.
    What does 'not working' mean? What happens when you try to view Flash content?
    What is the OS version, browser type and version.
    Do you have Flash Player currently installed, if so what version?
    What steps did you take to install Flash Player

  • Flash player not working properly after I added RAM. Video becomes jumpy

    I recently added some RAM to my computer, and now flash player isnt working very well. It will work fine for a couple of minutes then the video starts to become jumpy, like its skipping frames, and eventually becomes so bad its unwatchable. Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I switched my memory back to, neither of those worked. The only thing I can do is pause whatever I may be watching for long periods of time then start back up, but the problem persists after a few minutes. Im only having a problem with adobe flash player and am at a loss as how to resolve this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Check if a newer device driver for your display adapter is available; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

  • Flash Player not Working, even After Update?

    I noticed that whenever I tried to load a video yesterday, I kept getting the "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed" message. This morning, I installed the new Adobe update and I am still getting the problem. I have never encountered a problem running flash player until yesterday. What should I do? My browser, Firefox, is also up-to-date.

    Would you also mind reporting this as a new bug over at bugbase.adobe.com?  Please include a copy of your dxdiag report, the exact url where the crashes occur and a crash log.  You can find instructions for getting the crash log for firefox here:

  • Flash Player Not Being Recognized on Downloaded Game

    In case anyone didn't see the previous post..I am getting a similar error on a game I downloaded from Shockwave.com. I have used it for 2 months now with no problem. Now I get the error message that tells me to upgrade to Flash version 8. However, I am currently running version 10. Apparently, the game does not recognize this. Shockwave's response was to "uninstall and reinstall Flash". I have done this twice now with no results-same error message. I am running Windows 7 with Firefox browser. Can anyone help please?

    I am having the same problem, on a Mac running Safari on Leopard since installing version 10.

  • Why the flash player don't work after installing the video downloader add-on?

    I've installed and uninstall the Firefox mobile app several times to try and fix this issue. Every time I add the video downloader add-on the flash player won't let me tap to play videos anymore. I've tried to completely enable the flash but still didn't work. I've used this add on for a few months and it worked fine up until the last Firefox update. Without the add-on the flash player works fine but after I've added the video downloader add-on I would have to uninstall and reinstall the mobile spot to get the flash to work again. I really love to use this add-on that's the advantage that Firefox mobile app has over other web browser. Please tell me how I can fix this issue. THANKS

    Hello FRYDAE
    Welcome to SuMo help Forum,
    Thankyou for reaching us here
    About your problem , have you tried to clear your privacy/browsing data? And see if flash works?
    And you can try to disable the add-on, if you don't want to use it . and enable it again if you want to download a video .
    Cheers!

    Flash player won't work or download. It says it no longer supports power pcs. I am running 10.5.8 on my ibook G4. Seem to have tried everything. i.e. chrome, firebird, archived flash players, etc. All not supported. Any insight??? It started when I tried to upgrade current flash player and it said I needed to uninstall current version, which I did, and then it wouldn't download the current one giving me the not supported story! Please help!!!!!!

    Hi Andy, that is correct, they don't support PPC Macs anymore.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
    Download this if you haven't...
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.6 4_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip
    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!
