Flash Player only partially opens my ISP's speed test

I am having trouble with line speed and download speed. My ISP has directed me to their speed test, which has to be done several times and submitted before they will investigate.
I have tried to use the test several times on my networked pc and the flash player plugin will not complete the download of information.
I have reinstalled Adobe flash player several times with no change.
I have temporarily disabled my firewall with no change.
I can use the speed test on a netbook connected by wireless to the same network

The videos that DO work are most likely HTML5 which requires no plugin.
Spotlight search "Flash Player.plugin" and trash EVERYTHING in the results.
Go to: [user]/Library/Preferences (Hold the "Option" key when you click "Go" from the Finder menu to access this folder)
Trash the com.macromedia.Flash Player.app.plist file.
Trash the Macromedia folder from there as well (the WHOLE folder).
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Trash the Flash Player folder and the Flash Player Install Manager folder.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/ Internet Plugins.
Trash the flashplayer.xpt file.
Empty the trash.
Download the offline installer: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac /install_flash_player_11_osx.dmg and run it.
If after all that, it still doesn't work, we'll need to look at other plugins you have that may be causing a conflict.
I have Safari, Firefox, Opera and Chrome, as well as a few "off brand" browsers and Flash Player works in all of them. Late 2012 Mini, Core15, 16Gb RAM.

Flash Player only works for the account that downloaded it

I downloaded flash player and did not specify any special preferences, however, it doesn't work for the 2 other accounts on the computer. It only runs for the Administrator account from which i downloaded it. I'm running XP professional. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

hi, i had already deleted cookies, temp internet files, etc;
i only have the IE pop up blocker and blocking level set at Medium;
it's the latest version of FP 10.0.45.2.
I installed this version a couple of weeks ago and it worked ok for all accounts (the other 2 accounts are not admin) for a week. Then, it stopped working for all accounts, i reinstalled it (some trial and error involved), then when it finally reinstalled, only works for the one account. i just tried to reinstall from one of the other accounts and error mssg said "failed to register"

Subject: Flash Player only works for the account that downloaded it
Hi ol, I would go to Tools, click on Internet Options and clear the Temp files. Delete Cookies, Delete Files, including the off line content. I would do this using all accounts. Also check the history files while you are there and delete those also unless you have done so recently.
What version of Flash Player do you have Installed?
Do you use any adblock or pop up blocker software?
Thanks,

HT204022 Flash player required to open a e card does not work?

Flash player required to open e card does not work?

iOS devices do not support flash. There is no flash available, nor will there ever be. Adobe has announced that it is discontinuing development of flash on mobile devices.

Firefox does not recongnize some downloadable file (e.g., Adobe Flash Player); instead it opens a new tab with nothing in it.

Firefox cannot download the files I want to download sometimes. For example installing Flash Player. It opens a new tab with URL "http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/mac/9.x/9.3.4/enu/AdbeRdr934_en_US_i386.pkg.zip" and title "adberdr.pkg.zip (application/zip object)" on it. It happens when I have to download some dmg or compressed files.

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset" -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click "Clear Now"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

Repair permissions.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the menu bar, quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, install the v10.5.8 combo update.

HT202681 Is Flash Player only for Safari? Do I need Flash Player for Firefox?

Is Flash Player only for Safari? Do I need Flash Player for Firefox?

A Flash tip to help avoid security issues later: There are known scammer who fake a "Flash is out of date" pop-up that leads you to a site that installs malware or can compromise your private data. If you see a pop-up in FF saying you need to upgrade Flash, the only safe thing to do is go to this official Adobe site:
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
and follow the downloads instructions there. It will show the currently available version. You can quickly tell what version is on your computer by doing System Preference > Flash Player and selecting the "Updates" tab.
Do NOT choose to update Flash from any pop-up. Here are several articles with more info on the "Fake Flash" issue:
http://www.thesafemac.com/?s=flash&submit=Search
Fake Flash pop-ups commonly contain grammatical or spelling errors. One common one is "Failure to install this update may cause your computer to crush." Using only the official Adobe site I linked plus checking your current version via System Preferences will avoid your having to figure out if a pop-up is fake.

Flash player only works for user account installed with

Hi all
I've different user accounts on my PC for me and my son.
Somehow Flash Player 10 only works for the user account I installed Flash player with.
In case I install it using my account it will not work for my son's account and vice versa.
How can I solve this?
Thanks
Mario

I've struggled with this for a long time. Here is what I've come up with.
Adobe tech support recommended this:
1. Log in as Admin
2. Download the following zip file from here:
www.supportflash.com/reset_all.zip
3. Unzip this folder onto your desktop.
4. Drag both files ‘reset_min_all.cmd’ and
‘subinacl.exe’ to your
desktop.
5. Run the reset_min_all.cmd file.
6. It will open a DOS like terminal and start
running through registry
keys.
7. When it is finished it will say “press any key
to continue”.
8. At this point you can install the latest Flash
Player:
for Internet Explorer:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/ts/documents/tn_19166/Install_F
lash_Player_9_ActiveX.zip
other browsers:
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
9. Check that Flash Player is working for the
Admin.
10. Check that Flash Player is working as the
other 2 users.
I hope this information helps. Feel free to reply
if you need further
assistance on the issue discussed here or file
a new case if you want to
report a new issue in the Support Portal:

I can't recall whether I had to run this in each account or not. It somewhat worked for me. If the accounts were all set up as admin accounts, flash worked in all the accounts after that. If one account was admin and the rest were limitied (I'm running xp home) it wouldn't work in the limited account.
I gave up and reverted back to flash player 9 via NOrton go back
It must be a permissons issue of some sort. I just don't have the patience to figure it out.
Good Luck,
Let us know what you figure out

Does Flash Player only work with web content?

Thought I'd better start a new thread on this, as my previous
question has shifted emphasis.
Does the free Flash Player download only provide Flash
capability within the web browser? Or can it play local SWFs? If
not, do I need the whole Flash product to just play?

> Does the free Flash Player download only provide Flash

> web browser? Or can it play local SWFs? If not, do I

> product to just play?
yes, yes, and no
YES: The player you download is the activex control and
Netscape plug-in
that browsers use .. not a separate program. So yes it is
effectively for
use in the browser only.
YES: You can fire local SWFs using it by opening them within
your browser.
It is only for web content.
NO: You do not need a stand-alone flash player (that comes
with the Flash
product) to view SWF content (local or on the web)

Flash Player won't open

I have tried downloading Flash Player version 16.0.0.235 on my Mac version 10.8.5 with Safari version 6.2.2 and whenever I download it it tries opening it in MATLAB and won't allow it to be opened with any other application. It is not a .dmg file when I download it, it is a .mdlp. I am not sure what to do in order to get the right installer download. Any ideas?

Flash Player can only play Flash content, not create SWF files. You will need Flash Builder or Flash Professional for that.

Flash Player won't open properly?

I seem to have flash player but I don't know why it doesn't open properly. I want to create .swf files with it? What can I do?

Installed the install flash player 15 exe , opened it up but nothing happens, why?

After I got a message on my plugin page on Firefox that flashplayer needed an update I thought oke.
I uninstalled flash player with the Adobe uninstaller.
I downloaded the flashplayer exe. but nothing happens, then try again but it keeps saying there can only one instance of this application can run, but nothing is working, it just wont install.
When I open task manager it says Adobe installation helper is running, but what does that do?
What do I have to do to make it work?
I am using Vista.
Please help me, thanks.

wow finaly found the solution to get the flashplayer to instal on my laptop.
It came trough a mozilla supporte page lol
One of the answers was: if one keep having problems with the installation then one should go to Adobe Laps.........grr never heard of that part of Adobe.
but there you go, you learn every time something out of the pool of frustration.
the link to it is this
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html
I got the debugger download and voila within secondes I got the little ******* to run:)
Why not put this link on your main download page people would try it directly so many spend hours or even wors days on trying to fix it!!
Thanks Adobe for so many hours of frustration, what will it be next time
For now very happy:)
I am very proud of myself and very thankful for the Mozilla Support group answer!!!

Flash player only installs the installer as a device on my Mac.

I have tried repeatedly to install the Adobe Flash Player onto my Mac OS X system. It goes through the entire process as described on line, but it only installs the Flash Player Installer as a device. It is a never ending cycle of instillation. The program never shows up as an application. Therefore there is never a Flash Player to be recognized when I try to open something that requires the Flash player. How do I fix it?

The "device" is a disk image (DMG). It's a "virtual" disk that behaves like a CD-ROM. It should appear as a removable disk on your desktop, like a Flash Drive. If you double click it, you should see the installer, a red "box" with the Flash Player icon on the front side. Double click that and it wil install.

Flash Player 16 Installer opens but won't run on 64 bit Wdws 7 and IE 11

I have Flash Player ActiveX Ver. 15.0.0.246 installed on my Dell Inspiron N7010 (Intel Core i3 processor) laptop, running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS with Service Pack 1, 6 GB of RAM, and using Internet Explorer Ver. 11.0, 32-bit browser. Flash Player notified me that it was time to update to Flash Player Ver 16.0, and took me to the website to download the installer. I first disabled my anti-virus (ESET NOD32 Ver 8.0.) and malware (Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Ver 2.0.4) software, and then clicked the 'Install' button on the website. After I gave my security software permission to let it run, it opened the blank black installer window (labeled "Adobe Flash Player Installer"). Nothing happened after that. No indications that anything was happening appeared in either the Adobe website window or the installer window. (The Adobe website window had advanced to "Step 2 of 3.") I gave it 10 or 15 minutes, then clicked the red "X" button in the upper right corner of the window to close it, but the installer window would not close. I had to use the Windows Task Manager to shut it down. I tried rebooting and re-attempting several times, but never was able to get the installer to run.
The installer ran fine on my other computer, which has the same configuration / version nos. of OS, IE, AV, A-Malware, and Flash Player, and I was able to successfully upgrade it to FP 16.0.
I have noticed that several others on this forum are having this problem, but with other combinations of OS and browsers, and I did not find a definitive solution for this problem that appeared to be applicable to my combination of software (defined above). If anyone with this combination of software has solved this problem, would you please be kind enough to provide a step-by-step description of the solution, on this forum, in layman's terms, and provide screen shots where little-known Windows, IE, or Flash Player steps / processes / menu choices are involved.
Thanks,
Spaceadventurer

You write that you "downloaded", but did you also install it?
What version does it tell you is installed at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html#main_Find_the_Flash_ Player_version_installed_on_your_machine ?

Installed Skype and now Flash Player won't open in new window

I installed the latest version of Skype and now Flash Player does not work properly.
I just bought a new laptop, it has Windows 7, 32 bit, IE 9, and Flash 10.
A website that I go to all the time uses Flash Player so when you click on a link in the site it pops out the player into a new window and you can listen while you still browse on their site. After I installed Skype last night, that 'pop-out' function is no longer there. The player now replaces the webpage and it is very large and distorted because it is supposed to be in a small pop-out window. No matter what I click, I can't get the link to open in a new window, it always opens in the same window replacing the webpage.
I uninstalled Skype and then used the manual uninstaller of Flash because the uninstall would not work from the uninstall screen in Windows. I then reinstalled the latest version of Flash Player and I still have the same problem.
Is this a setting that I can change somewhere??
Thank you.

Hi eidnolb, thanks for the reply.
I did uninstall the google toolbar that was installed with skype.
I now found that it is not just flash player that won't open in a new window, I can't get any link at all to open in a new tab or a new window.
I tried restoring IE's settings and that did not work.
I know this is an adobe forum and my problem is now much larger than just adobe, but if you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
