Flash player plugin under win 7 64 bit IE doesnt install

i have a acer laptop with win 7 64bit. i am using microsoft internet explorer 11 and want to install the flash player. the installclient install the activex version (32 bit) but it doesnt insall the plugin version. all the other pluggins are in 32 bit as well. I dont know why but the work. what do i do wrong? what can i do?

If you download from here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
The javascript in the page will determine a 64 bit system and download the proper plugin.
NOTE: If you visit the page with IE, it will lead you to the ActiveX plugin. If you use Firefox, Opera or Safari, it will lead to the "other browser" plugin.
The 64 bit IE will access the ActiveX pluigin via the WOW64 in your C/Windows/System folder.

What is the latest version of Flash Player plugin for Win XP running IE8?

What is the latest version of Adobe Flash Player plugin? I am running Window XP Pro with IE 8. I don't have any other browsers installed. I currently have Flash Player Active X version 11.8.800.175 and Flash Player plugin version 11.8.800.168. Isn't there a plugin of a higher version?

11.8.800.168 is the latest plugin version. But since you do not use any other browser, you do not really need the plugin, except for rich media content in Adobe Reader.

Flash Player plugin v10.3.183.18 not installed in old Mac OS X 10.5.8's Safari v5.0.6?

Hello.
I have a client's Mac OS X 10.5.8 with all the latest updates. His Flash Player plugin v10.3.183.18 does not show up in his old Safari v5.0.6. It works fine in old Firefox v3.6.28 though. And yes, I redownloaded and reinstalled Flash Player plugin. What's wrong?
Thank you in advance.

Updates since I had more free time on a CATurday. I found a Flash uninstaller from Adobe's KB web site so I downloaded it, ran it, tested to see if Firefox said no Flash (confirmed), and then reinstalled Flash but it did not fix Safari's plug-in problem. I also noticed this in Mac OS X 10.5.8's console log during installation to launching Safari:

Flash Player plugin problem - win 7 64 bit - Firefox 15.0.1

I have problems with Ff showing flash videos. Flash player is version 11.4.402.278 (latest that I could find). The videos play without problems when having Firefox in "safe mode". I've tried to figure out if there is some of extensions that's causing the problem but any of extensions do this. I checked them one by one, without solution. So, only cause I can think of is the default theme of Firefox, because it is disabled in safe mode.
Tried also Flash 10.3, but it did nod work either. How can I test in normal mode, if it's the default theme that's causing the problem?

Hi 2cv6,
try to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#w_turn-off-hardware-acceleration Turn off hardware acceleration in Firefox ]and "disable the hardware acceleration" in the Flash Player too :

Adobe Media Encoder CC won't start if flash player plugin is installed

Few days ago I installed windows 8.1 pro on a brand new PC and I was having problem starting AME, clicking on icon simply doesn't sort any effect, the software didn't open. I tried starting it as administrator, deleting \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\, reinstalling any CC program and even using AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool didn't solve the problem.
At the same time, I was having problem with flash player and firefox; it was just crashing at start, for example at the beginning of a youtube video. Even reinstalling the plugin or firefox itself won't resolve the issue. I resolved by disabling protected mode on flash and after that, the plugin works perfectly in firefox.
Going back to the AME problem, after a few tries, I managed to resolve it by doing this:
- uninstall Premiere pro and relative AME
- uninstall Creative Cloud app
- uninstall flash player plugin
- run AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool and clearing ALL the stuff
- install CC app
- install PP and relative AME
- NOT INSTALLING flash player plugin for firefox
Only by doing this, AME starts without any problem. Even after a couple of reboots, it starts nicely.
After that, I tried to reinstall flash player plugin for firefox. Just after install, with firefox still closed, i disabled the protected mode to avoid any crashes. And by this point, AME won't start anymore. By just installing the flash player plugin (without even let it crash once) AME doesn't start. The only thing that worked was to uninstall everything again, use the cleaner tool, reinstall CC and leaving firefox without the flash plugin. At this point AME starts without any problem. I tried again to reinstall flash plugin and voilà, again AME simply can't start.
What should i do to fix this? It sounds so stupid that i have to choose between flash plugin or AME, why they can't live togheter on my system? Maybe i just have to wait for an update (for firefox or flash) and see if it changes anything?
Here are some specs of my system, if it helps:
winows 8.1 pro x64 updated
16gb ram
Intel i7 3820
GeForce GTX 670
latest version of flash, CC and firefox
no plugins installed for any CC software
flash on internet explorer works well

I finally find out how to fix this.
With flash plugin installed and protected mode disabled, I also disabled hardware acceleration in flash plugin options. So I re-enabled protected mode and the plugin worked fine.
After that, I uninstalled everything from adobe, used cleaner tool and than reinstalled all the stuff. Now AME works fine.
Hope this fix will help someone.

Why doesn't the Adobe Flash Player plugin show in Firefox's "Plugins" window under Mavericks 10.9.3?

My specs are:
Mavericks 10.9.4
Firefox 30.0
Flash Player Plugin 14.0.0.125
The plugin is visually verified to be properly installed in the "Internet Plug-Ins" folder in the main library, and not the user library.

Hello all,
My doubt was correct. It was all due to the blank device list. After lot of struggle I found this solution worked for me:
1. As soon as the plug-in tries to access webcam, it will show you "Adobe Flash Player Settings" box
2. Click Deny then Close to close it
3. Now press tab key on keyboard. It will highlight (in yellow) and show list of devices in video device dropdown control (This could be little bit tricky and you need to put little bit more efforts to see the list). You can now select your webcam as device here.
4. Press Tab key again to go audio dropdown and select audio device.
5. Then right click and bring up "Adobe Flash Player Settings" again.
6. Under Microphone and Camera tabs, make sure we select same devices we selected in 3 & 4 above
7. Come back to privacy tab and this time chose "Allow" and then close "Adobe Flash Player Settings" box
8. You should now see the camera images in the plug-in
Conclusion: This is a workaround worked for me. Plug-in is quite unstable and there is definitely something here Adobe Flash Player plug-in developers need to do about.
Hope this workaround helps many other users.
Thanks,

Newer Flash player plugins go berserk/crazy/bonker in SeaMonkey v2.1x.x in old 32-bit Windows XP SP3

Hello.
Has anyone had Flash videos go blank and act weird as shown in http://i.imgur.com/GugQV05.gif as an example? I have to either exit/quit SeaMonkey or kill Flash's plugin-container.exe process. I did not have this problems with older Flash versions like v11.5 or earlier. It started recently with v11.6 and v11.7 IIRC. It seems to happen a lot lately. I tried clearing caches, but that doesn't seem to help.
I keep my SeaMonkey, Windows, and Flash player plugins/addon updated. I never see this problem on my office machine with 64-bit W7 EE SP1 and similiar softwares installed. http://pastie.org/private/biufyftsz7kofbu1kk6q for my Process Explorer v15.3 dump of Flash's plugin-container.exe going wacky.
Thank you in advance.

Once the bug has been added, please post back with the bug URL or bug number so that others effected can add their comments and votes.
Bad news, it did not fix the problem: http://i.imgur.com/6syYDl5.gif after adding ProtectedMode=0 line (did not exist) to my C:\WINDOWS\system32\macromed\flash\mms.cfg file and restarting Mozilla's SeaMonkey web browser. It happened after loading two Flash videos. I had to kill plugin-container.exe process process to fix it.
Are you sure this would be a bug if I am the only one with this problem?

Netgear STORA access crashes Adobe flash player plugin

Hi,
I am having trouble accessing my Netgear 'STORA' NAS with firefox.
The 'STORA' uses '''Adobe flash player '''(firefox plugin) as a base for the internet 'landing page' it uses for log in.
Each time I try to access the device over the net with firefox, I get a report that the plugin container for firefox has stopped working then, on the firefox page, it reports that the plugin has crashed.
I have used various machines over my LAN to try to access the 'STORA' with firefox:
Desktop - Win 7 home premium 64bit (main machine)
Laptop - Win 7 home 32 bit
Laptop - Win Vista (home!) 32bit
Also, I have had family and friends try to access the 'STORA' over the net with firefox from the UK (home country) and from Germany.
All report that they cannot access the device as plugin crashes.
All machines tried can access the 'STORA' via MS IE browser!
All machines at home are up to date regards firefox, Adobe flash player and OS versions / updates and I am assured this is true for the other machines too. And all machines are more than adequate to run respective os and programs etc.
On my main machine (see list) I used fire fox 'about:config' to negate the associated timer for the plugin as suggested on the mozilla site:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/The+Adobe+Flash+plugin+has+crashed?style_mode=inproduct#Disable_hang_protection
Doing this had no noticable affect on performance and the adobe flash player plugin still crashed.
I have informed Netgear of the issue some time ago and have no reply. When I tried to inform Adobe a few days ago, the bug report facility failed and I could not get back into it.
Firefox is my preferred browser and I would like to use it to access the 'STORA'.
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards,
Michael.

After installing Adobe Flash Player Plugin to view videos on youtube, mozilla gets hangs intermittently. Please help

I installed Firefox 23.0.1 and after that It asked me to install Flash Player Plugin to view videos on Youtbe. I installed Flash Player 11 Plugin and since then Mozilla started hanging/freezing intermittently. It hangs on those websites also where videos are not running.
I uninstalled Flash Player 11 Plugin and it works smoothly without it.
Please help

This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common reasons for Flash problems in Firefox:
(1) Make sure all recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them.
(2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)

Archived flash player version with Win 8.1

I'm using Firefox version 37.0.1 and Win 8.1 and am having some difficulty with installing a version of flash player that is not the most recent version. I currently have flash player 17.0.0.134 installed and have lost some functionality with extensions which is why I wish to use an older version. When I use the flash player uninstaller and use the 'Check Now' button on https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html I am told that there is no version of flash player installed, however, when I try to install flash player version 16.0.0.35 from the flash archives I get the message "This version of flash player is older than the version currently installed" and the installation process halts. Is there a way to find which version of flash player were previously installed and use the corresponding uninstallers? Is there an additional step to uninstalling flash player for Win 8.1? I'd really like to be able to roll back to the previous version please. Thank you.

It doesn't make a lot of sense that a Flash Player upgrade would affect a third-party Firefox extension. There's no way for other plugins to hook into Flash unless you've disabled ProtectedMode (which is also a bad idea from a security perspective), and we don't hook into other plugins. I'm wondering if maybe some internal Firefox configuration files might have been corrupted.
Are you running the right installer when you download the Archives? There's an ActiveX installer for Internet Explorer, and an NPAPI plug-in installer for Firefox.
If you need to run an older version, you're way better off using the Extended Support Release. It's an old feature branch, but with all the security fixes between now and then. We updated it in parallel with our current release.
Just scroll down to the Extended Support Release section and choose the second row - EXE installer for plug-in based browsers:
Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe
Once you've run that installer, if you still don't see Flash Player, then my guess there's either a bad registry entry or Firefox config file in play.
It won't do a lot of good trying to fix it if the filesystem is in a wonky state, so it's worth ruling that out first:
Caveat: Sometimes corrupted software is an early indicator that your disk is going bad. It's wise to ensure that you have current working backups, especially if you have anything important on the machine. Checking the disk for problems is a relatively safe operation, but will also give the disk a workout. If it's on it's way out, you may not get a lot of additional warning.
Checking the disk for errors:
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2641432
At that point, if you identified problems and fixed them, but things still don't work, it's time to uninstall both Flash Player and Firefox and reinstall from pristine sources.
If you're still stuck, let me know.

I can't play my games on Facebook.Adobe Flash player plugin Crashed keeps coming up.I have updated adobe,did not help.

I cant play my games (FarmVille FrontierVille) On Facebook,Adobe Flash player plugin crashed keeps coming up.I have updated to the newest file.No good.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://Facebook.com

I am having this same problem. Before the updates, the Adobe Flash player NEVER crashed in Firefox (it did in Google Chrome all the time) and now it's crashing in all my favorite games....Farmville, Frontierville, Yoville, and Treasure Isle. It doesn't seem to be effecting the less-detailed Zynga games, such as Mafia Wars or Vampire Wars; and I can go into more detailed games that aren't Zynga and they seem to work fine too. I am not 100% sure what exactly the problem is, or who is causing it because I had a Firefox update, and then an Adobe update to the 10.1 beta. So I'm not sure if it's one or the other, or both of them put together.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled the flash player so many times my mind is numb, and even tried to find the one I had prior to this new 10.1 and nothing has worked. I even did what that link Chris posted to do, and I thought it had worked at first...I actually got to go into my Farmville and Treasure Isle for a little bit, then it turned around and crashed again.
This is literally driving me crazy trying to figure it all out.....and it upsets me that everything was fine one day, then after some updates, everything is messed up. And it's just my luck that it effected some of the games I like to play the most.

Flash Player plugin.exe could not be found

Hi,
since a few days Flash Player is giving me an error message saying "C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Flash Player\Addons\plugin.exe could not be found.
Please make sure you have typed the name correctly and repeat the process." on every bootup. (error message may not be 100% accurate, I had to translate it from German).
Apart from that, the Flash Player plugin (most current version btw) is working perfectly fine. I have done a complete Flash Player + Flash plugin reinstall but I keep getting the error
every time I start my PC. What's going on here?
Oh and I'm running Win 7 x64 Service Pack 1 btw.

Download and save the uninstaller by right clicking the following link and selecting "save target as" (IE) or "Save Link as" (Firefox).
Flash Player Uninstaller
Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one (or both) of the following links and selecting "Save target as" (IE) or "save Link as" (Firefox).
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Save the file(s) to your downloads folder - DO NOT run anything yet.
Reboot your system.
BEFORE opening anything else, run the UNINSTALLER to remove ALL instances fo Flash Player plugin.
Run the installer(s) next to replace the plugin for IE or Firefox (or both).

Circular redirection when trying to install Flash Player plugin in Firefox

When I try to update the Flash Player plugin in Firefox (25.0.x) under WinXP (32bit), WinVista (64bit) and Win7 n(64bit), I'm directed to the "Get Flash Player" page. When I click "Install), I'm redirected to an Adobe Products page, which has a "Get Flash Player link"; when I click on that link, I'm redirected to the (previous) Get Flash Player page, where, when I click "Install", I'm redirected to the same Adobe products page, and so on and so on and so on. What the h*** is going on, and how do I get to download the Flash Player plugin?

I don't know why this is happening, but try downloading the offline installer(s):
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

Flash Player Plugin pushing cpu to 100% on Laptop

I know there is many (many many) discussions on this topic, but I was hoping to get a clear answer on how to solve this issue. It seems that my issues with cpu have been going off and on for a bit now, but in the last month or so it's been practically every single day.
Within the first hour from boot up everything is okay with the videos and flash media, but after that it starts to hike up and next thing I know my cpu is at 100% and the computer is hanging and moments later it's telling me if I want to wait for the plugin to respond. If I say yes it stalls some more and then tries to keep going but it's super choppy and it makes horrible noises, if I say no then it says that the flash player plugin crashed and to refresh- just for it to go through that again. Something strange about this is that when I put my laptop into sleep mode (not shutdown) for 30 or so minutes and come back, my system drops the cpu levels and it is fine again until another hour then the whole thing starts again. I use Norton 360 so it's constantly telling me that Adobe flash is using too much cpu or firefox (browser I use) and the performance log norton has about my computer tells me that just yesterday I had a moment of being at 100% for 10 minutes straight!
I've tried seeing if it was really just firefox doing this as it does take a lot of cpu on it's own, but after going into firefox safe mode the problem with flash jumping high in cpu was still there.
Does anyone have a solution? (I'm not a tech expert, just your normal everyday user so please make it as simple as possible!)
If you need more ifo let me know! Thanks!
