Flash Player not working on Vista 64 Bit

I too am having extreme difficulty w/ installing the new flash player.  At first I didn't know I had too.  Two days ago I was watching a show on YouTube, and last night it said I needed to install the latest version.
Windows Vista Home Edition 64 Bit
Preferred browser Mozilla Foxfire / secondary browser Internet Explorer
I did all the uninstalls and removed files from the download directory.
I followed all instructions making sure I chose the appropriate download version for 64 bit.
Below is what I chose:
Adobe Flash Player 11.8.800.94 (16.9 MB)
Your system: Windows 64-bit , English, Firefox
Do you have a different operating system or browser?
I downloaded, saved and ran it.  Made sure all Firefox windows were closed including weather network.  Then it stated 'installation complete'.
I went to YouTube and then it said I had to install the Flash Player.  I did this too.  Still, nothing worked.  I am somehow being forced to upgrade a perfectly good computer?
I hope this can be resolved.  I read through everyones comments, tried them all and still nothing.

Surprise to me!!! It worked!!!
I decided to try for the 87th time and it finally worked.  What I did was (incase someone else wants to try this) well, it worked for me ... thought I did this before ...
Uninstalled all flash players
Deleted all flash players from download directory
Deleted deleted items from garbage bin (you never know)
Re-started the PC
Went to YouTube and it prompted me to install a Flash Player - did this and guess what ... it worked!  Only 5 hours in ...
Now, if I can just figure out how to properly use my new sewing machine hem foot and try to finish measuring (after 8 times) the duvet I am sewing then I will be well on my way!
They say it comes in three's.  Had mine.  Done !
Good luck everyone!

The following information would be useful:
- A direct link to the video / videos where you encountered the crash
- Your Operating System and Version
- Your Browser and Version
- The Version of Flash Player (right-click on Flash content, look in the context menu)
Do you see the crash in only your preferred browser, or all browsers.  (The Flash Player for Firefox/Safari/Opera, Chrome and Internet Explorer are all significantly different.  Isolating it to one or more browsers is useful in understanding the root cause.)
Have you tried the video troubleshooting guide?  If so, please detail the steps you took and the results you saw.  This is extremely useful in isolating a root-cause.
Video playback issues
If you're encountering the crash in Firefox, a direct link to the crash report would be extremely useful:
In the address bar, type about:crashes
You'll see a list of links with random letters and numbers
Click the first link.  It will take you to a crash report page.  Hit back, and the link will change to start with bp- and a new set of letters and numbers.
Right-click that link, and choose Copy Link Location.
Paste it into a reply here.
Repeat for the first few if you have multiple crashes.
Thanks!

  • Flash Player not working with Vista in Firefox

    I try to install Flash Player and Firefox allows me to download it, but I have no idea where or if it is saved.  The only place that I can see it is in the download folder.  Will Flash Player 10 work on my computer since I have Vista?  Help please!!

    When you download anything, Firefox will give you two pop-ups
    Click on 'Save File' here.  Next you will be asked where to save the file to
    Navigate to the location where you want to save the file (e.g. My Download Files, or Desktop), and click 'Save'.
    When the download is complete, exit Firefox, then run the downloaded file from where you saved it.

  • Why does flash player not work with facebook?

    Why does flash player not work with fcebook?  Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player.  When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one.  I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows.  I don't know anything else.

    This means you don't have the latest version installed.  Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

    flash player not working.  can't watch video and can't upload pics to facebook

    thanks for helping.  I have windows 7, internet explorer.  recently had to replace my hard drive, and compete reinstall of all software so still a few bugs on settings, ect.  not seeing any error messages.  video and uploading pics seemed to be fine until the last week.  not sure what could have changed .  I can still look at PDF ect, I'm not positive its the Adobe that is messed up, but the 2 things I'm having problems with, clicking on and watching video on espn.com and not uploading pics to Facebook, both just does nothing when I try them.  no errors, just black screen where its suppose to play or upload.  the trouble shooting for both sites say make sure to have the latest version of flash player, so thats why I assume something is wrong with Adobe.  when I do the self scan from this site it says I have the latest version.  my settings say the player is enabled

    She plants the clock to all videos , advertisements and links. I tried to uninstall and reinstall everything but the result remains unchanged. I am using Windows 8.1 and Mozilla Firefox. I need your help please .
    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!

  • Help Please? Flash Player not working, windows 7 32 bit IE.

    Hi. I cannot get the Flash player to play content in Internet Explorer 32 bit. I am extremely frustrated.  My info is:
    Windows 7/64 bit
    All windows updates are current
    Dell studio 1749 Lap top
    IE 8 32 bit
    IE 8 64 bit
    32 bit Flash Player 10.1.85.3
    64 bit flash player "square"  10.2.161.22
    windows firewall
    High speed cable with wireless router
    Avast antivirus free  5.0.677
    I have spent several days reading this forum as well as other forums on the same subject and have tried many many suggestions that have been posted without results. I have checked my user account settings, mine is set to administrator. I have checked and rechecked Internet explorer internet option settings and tried them all including none ( set to not recommended  lowest  settings) for all the zones. I have reset internet explorer settings under the advanced tab. I have tried to install the flash player many times using both the auto install from the browser window as well as the manual download and install program from your web site many times. I have uninstalled from windows control panel and also using your manual uninstall program between each reinstall attempt.
    I have restarted both my computer and internet explorer after each install and uninstall so many times I can't count. There are many other things I have tried as per some of the things I have read but so far no success. The interesting thing i find is while trying to fix this problem i downloaded the flash player code named "square" 64 bit and it works perfectly using Internet explorer 64 bit.
    Internet explorere Adobe add ons are:
    In IE 32 bit add ons listed are;
    shockwave activeX control  - enabled
    get_atlcom Class  - enabled
    In IE 64 bit add ons listed are;
    shockwave flash object   -  enabled
    Files installed on my harddrive are;
    in windows/sysWOW64/macromed/flash
    Flash10k.ocx
    Flashinstall.log
    Flashutil10k_activeX.dll
    Flashutil10k_activeX.exe
    in windows/system32/macromed/flash
    Flash64_10_2_161.ocx
    Flashinstall.log
    Flashutil64_10_2_161_activeX.dll
    Flashutil64_10_2_161_activeX.exe
    I hope you are able to assist me in fixing this problem.
    Thanks

    Good Morning.
    I can not get the batch file to create a log file. Anyway the general message throughout the entire batch file report is that nothing succeded.  Each time it tried to create a reg key the resulting message is :
    Regsetsecurity error : 5 access is denied
    When trying to reset FP security permissions:
    Set security privilage : access is denied
    Warning  :unable to SeSecurityPrivilage privilage. This privilage may be required.
    Then when it tries to create file "macromed" error is
    Createfile error : 1314  A required privilage is not held by the client
    Anyway this gives you a general idea of what has happened running the batch file,
    I am starting to think we are spending far to much time on this ,but I enjoy the  challange to correct the problem.
    If this is due to a corruption or some such thing in the registry I could have reformatted and reinstalled My system complete in less than a day. This is the fourth day on this.
    If the User Accounts list me as the administrator and there are no other accounts how can I not have the required permissions?
