Flash Player on IE and Vista SP2 won't run

I have two laptops in front of me, one running Vista SP2 IE8, the other XP SP2 IE8. The Vista machine would not accept FP10 update, so updated all MS products, uninstalled current version of FP, which wouldn't run, then attempted download. No response from Adobe FP site after clicking "Agree and install now" button. To test site, updated the XP laptop. The Install Adobe FP page was different for each laptop, with the XP site including option to load Google bar. Downloaded and upgraded XP, no problem. With the Vista system, checked the Macromd folder in System32 and is completely empty. No other folders. Need FP on the Vista laptop. Recommendations?

Try the offline ActiveX installer for Internet Explorer:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

Flash Player for IE7 and Vista

TRY THIS
it may solve the problem. I have just upgraded to vista and
when I tried to install flash player nothing happend, then
I went to vista's discussion forum and found this.
"go to
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
and then click on Download the Windows Flash Player 9 ActiveX
control
content debugger (for IE) (EXE, 1.18 MB)
It worked for me !

Thank you for posting this. I have tried everything else here
and to absolutely no avail. Doing this stopped the annoying
security pop-up telling me to run Microsoft Add-On for the Flash
Player on every single flash site..... this gets unbelievably
annoying as a flash developer with over 20 different clients and
having to check content on their sites.

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!

Hi Mark,
before you can Install Flash Player 9 you have to uninstall all previous versions with the uninstall tool: How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control

Video won't run. telling me to update flash player. click on update for mac won't load?

video won't run, telling me to update flash player, click on update for mac won't update. do i need to load flash player and is it ok for mac?

Yes, it's fine for your Mac ...
Most sites such as YouTube require the Flash plugin.
Flash isn't a player per se, but a plugin.
Sometimes uninstalling the current plugin then reinstalling new can help.
Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Make sure and uninstall the old plugin first then restart your Mac.
If you use Safari to view videos, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.

Adobe Flash Player 10 Fix for Vista & XP

A possible fix for users wanting to get Flash Player 10 fixed
and running on Windows XP and Vista.
See here for details:
www.thetechangel.com/blogberry/2008/10/adobe-flash-player-10-fix-for-vista-xp/

(This is a possible solution for most users) I have found that inside the folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash (WinXP Home/Pro) (Computer > C: Drive > Windows > System32 > Macromed > Flash for Vista) there should be a file named FlashUtil10b.exe (IF NOT YOU SHOULD UPDATE AS SPECIFIED!) (or FlashUtil10a.exe or for older versions something similar depending on your version), which is the update utility for flash player. Click on this and if it updates, you will have to restart your computer. This should fix any missing files, and update you to the latest version.
On a side note to all those who read this, I downloaded and installed 5 different times, the same version, from different websites, all for the "new" flash version, and they didn't work (this also included trying to update Shockwave player itself). Apparently, going directly to the website and downloading a new version of Adobe Flash Player, and installing, doesn't uninstall the older version, (though it says it does) nor fixes the problem. I assume they are aware of this problem, because they included this bug fix in revision 10b. This fix should work for those of you whom cannot view/see flash images as well. There also appears to be a bug/reference problem with the installation of IE8 giving the error "Missing Shockwave Decompression XTRA", when trying to play a Shockwave/Flash file, which seems also to affect Firefox and other browsers. It doesn't recognize that the folder or files that it needs in it, exist. I never had his problem before, until IE8 was installed. I checked which version I had in the system32 folder and found this updater built in to Adobe. Version 10a does NOT automatically update, but version 10b includes this fix. I currently had version 10a when I received this error, and began digging for a solution. Doing the update as described above fixed the problem, and updated it to version 10b.
The new flash version 10b has some new features, such as volume control, auto-updating, and several rendering options for those who may have a faster or slower computer/video card.
I found this works great for XP users but unsure of the Vista users. The process is the same for Vista and the update should still work the same, as long as you run it as Administrator, I assume. I have this also posted on wwwdslreports.com at http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22115254-IE-IE8-and-Adobe-Flash-Question and here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22361930-Adobe-Flash-Player-10-Fix-for-WinXP-IE8-Firefox- ect. It appears to work for everyone so far. I have not heard of any problems from users with this problem running the RC (Release Canidate) for Windows 7 yet.
I hope this works to your benefit.

I keep getting notices to install Adobe Flash Player version 10, however when I click on the various boxes, it then tells me that Flash Player does not support Vista. What does all this mean?

"Install Adobe Flash Player" is damaged and can't be opened

The subject line of this discussion is what is displayed when I go to try to install Adobe Flash. I have a Mac OS X 10.9.3. I had Flash downloaded for a while, but the last update wouldn't update. It would download, but then when I went to open it it would say "Retrieving Install" and the meter would remain at 0%. It never went a step beyond that. After trying many times, per the instructions of the website, I deleted Flash from my computer using the Adobe uninstaller downloaded from this site. Now that I am trying to reinstall Flash I keep getting the message "'Install Adobe Flash Player' is damaged and can't be opened. You should eject the disk image". What should I do from here? I would appreciate any help!

You should make sure you do a complete uninstall of the flash player first and then install the latest FP14 version from this link - Use http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_osx.dm g

Hi guys.
I've had my MacBook Pro for 2 years now. Last night it suddenly kept glitching to a dark grey screen every now and then, then it would flash yellow / blue spots, and now it won't go past the grey screen even when I reboot it.
I don't think I can access my disk anymore as I've moved across countries since I've first gotten my laptop. it was working perfectly fine before it kept going to the dark grey screen with a little blue on the bottom.
If it helps, my camera light is still on, and it seems that my computer is working properly itself, but won't go past this grey screen.
I'm a college student and am really panicking about this - can anyone please tell me what to do?
Thank you & sorry for the long post.

What operating system are you running on it? (iOS 5.1 is for iPhone, iPad...not a Mac).

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.
See:
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Cannot+view+full+screen+Flash+videos
* http://www.youtube.com/swf_test.html (right-click the player: Settings)
Flash "Display settings" window:
* http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Videos that require flash player constantly restart and freeze

Running Windows 7 and have tried multiple browers and versions of Adobe Flash Player (all set back to the latest versions as of right now), and have updated my video drivers, but no matter what if I go on any website like YouTube that uses Flash Player, I can watch a video for a couple minutes and then Flash Player will freeze and reboot the video to the beginning. Closing out the window doesn't help, refreshing the page doesn't help either, it will still just let me watch for a few minutes and then freeze and restart. Very frusterated here, any idea what the problem is??

-Using 64 bit version and I've tried literally every available copy of Flash Player located in the archives. It only started doing this I'd say about a month ago maybe.
-Not sure which parts of the dxdiag report you need but this is the overall system info:
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130318-1533)
           Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: TOSHIBA
       System Model: Satellite L555D
               BIOS: Ver 1.00PARTTBL
          Processor: AMD Turion(tm) II Dual-Core Mobile M520 (2 CPUs), ~2.3GHz
             Memory: 4096MB RAM

-The only difference I saw was that non-HTML loaded significantly faster. It usually takes a minimum of 3 min though before I might have restart trouble.

Flash Player, Adobe Reader and Java

It came to my surprise when I removed flash player, adobe reader and java (not the base) my system is not heating up while i am on youtube (as i am using html5). So this means there are some serious issues with flash player on mac.
My recommendation to people using flash is to stop using it.

Works fine for me - I haven't made the YouTube HTML5 transition yet - I suppose because I don't have any issues with Flash Player.
Adobe Reader shouldn't cause your system to overheat at all - I keep Adobe Acrobat XI Pro open 24/7.

Adobe flash player 10 .01 and Adobe flash player 10.32 for Firefox

I was told to download the latest version of Adobe flash I believe, that was 10.32, because now I have delete it. Both players, because I couldn't get it to install. I have shut down the manager on Firefox version on 3.5 I really would like to know before I download anything else, which ones to my supposed to have been exposed to have both of them running on Windows XP home edition service pack three and Internet Explorer seven, because I didn't think I needed to upgrade that to eight, it probably just be more headaches. I don't know, I just mean is that anybody have any ideas let me know.
One thing I have that is the problems with my
Attach Files (maximum: 3) can anyone tell me whether QuickTime player for Apple. Has anything to do with screwing this up, I updated it, because I mean to use it for my Kodak. So it says I'm not sure I just need help, quickly please. Thank you very much

These are the files listed in the folder.
Flash10p.ocx
FlashInstall.log
FlashUtil10p_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10p_AciveX.exe
I originally uninstalled Flash Player 10 ActiveX and the Flash Player Plugin
thinking they would both be reinstalled with the newer version. When I installed
the newer version of Flash Player 10 ActiveX I noticed the Plugin was missing
and wondered what happened to it. I didn't know it needed to be downloaded
seperatly and I also didn't know what it was for exactly. As it is right now
everything works and since I'm not using any other browser - downloading
the Plugin isn't required. At least now I have an idea what the Plugin it was
intended for and know it's not needed.
Thank You.
