Flash player popping up on taskbar, youtube video playing on desktop

I can not stop this problem, I have tried everything for 2 weeks. I have uninstalled re installed flash player the new version.
The Flash Player plugin application pops up as a tab on task bar on windows 7, and the youtube video pops up in the top left hand corner of my desktop and doesnt play in the browser.
I include screenshot, when I hover over the flash player plugin on the taskbar with the aero thing, it shows 3 windows, one blank 2 video windows.
There is nothing in windows logs. It does this randomly and started when I changed nothing one day it didnt do it the next day it did.
I have windows 7 X64 sp1, Firefox 22, adobe flash 11.8.800.94.
Please help and tell me how to stop this happening once and for all because it happens randomly and only on youtube and a few other flash video sites, most of them work ok like Liveleak.

Update to this, I uninstalled the latest flash player, and installed 11.1.12.55 64 bit and have no problem with either Firefox OR Internet Explorer 10 64 bit whatsoever with any video sites at all.
I could not remember the previous version I updated from to 11.8.800.94 so I had to choose an older version from the list on the older versions page.
This problem kept happening with the latest flash player all the time I could not stop it.
This version works perfectly fine on everything although Firefox gives me a warning its vulnerable and should be updated, I turned that of because of course there is nothing wrong with it at all.
I just hope it gets fixed before my version im using becomes unusable on sites.

How do i get the adobe flash player so i can watch youtube videos?

how do i get the adobe flash player so i can watch youtube videos?

Software is always safest directly from the developer or the App Store.
There are numerous untrustworthy 'update' sites like Cnet & Softonic, & many users won't know that one is to be trusted (so far) but not most of the others.
Adobe make Flash Player : get it from Adobe.

Flash Player 10.0.45.2 - Youtube Video playback

Hi guys,
My computer automatically downloaded the new 10.0.45.2 version of Adobe Flash Player sometime last night and now I am unable to play videos on the internet for longer than a couple of seconds - (At most about 90 seconds), I've tried removing flash player with the Adobe uninstall flash tool and then reinstalling it from the link provided on the adobe website but this still hasn't helped at all. I've also tried installing earlier versions of the player, but this hasn't worked either!! My Operating system is Windows XP and my preferred Web Browser is Mozilla Firefox.The problem also persists when I use Internet Explorer and I've noticed that if I stream an audio clip from a website, it will cut off after a period of about 60 - 90 seconds.
How can I make this problem stop??

The same thing happened to me today. Only when I tried to watch a youtube clip it said that my Flash Player was out of date. So...I clicked the link to
update my player and that started a whole bunch of other problems.
I was instructed to uninstall Flash Player Plugin etc. by using the FlashPlayer uninstaller program. I did that and then tried to install the player again. Now I can't because for some reason Internet Explorer keeps closing the tab and won't go back. I have followed links within the Adobe website to resolve this issue but in addition to ie8 closing tabs, I get this message when I click on any link on the website:
ProductMap_kbSmall.processor.importStylesheet:Could not retreive a valid progID of Class: MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.3.0. (original exception: undefined)
Has anybody seen this before? I'm sure this is why I am unable to install Flash Player now, but I have no idea how to fix it.
Problem 1: Can't install FlashPlayer
Issue: Internet Explorer 8 keeps closing the tab everytime I click the download button.
Problem 2: The message in bold above. What is it?
Can anybody help me?
Thanks

Flash Player Popping and Crackling

I upgraded my Flash Player last week and now EVERY
video on YouTube pops and crackles and BOY is it annoying.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.
I'm on Win XP using IE 8.0.6001
Can I downgrade my playr to the previous version that worked fine?

Sup,
Because you might have had both Apps running at the same time, you ran to this issue.
FCP is default to 48K a video platform standard instead of 44.1k
LP when opened second to FCP doesn't change its Sample Rate to fit FCP.

Flash player causes real problems on Youtube

Flash player causes real problems on Youtube site.
I don't really know if it's a Flash Player problem or a Youtube one but Youtube used to work fine back in like 3-4 months ago, now it doesn't anymore.
The issues I encounter with Flash player on Youtube are as follows:
First issue is the fact that after the video completely loads or it loads a big part of it then I click on the seek bar to jump at a specific time that has been already downloaded by the Flash player the video starts loading again from that point on like it didn't actually downloaded that part before. This issue causes big bandwith use since it downloads many many times the same portions of the clip that it has already loaded before dozens of time. If I play a 3 min music clip and click replay or point on the seek bar at the begining of the clip to play it again it loads/downloads the clip again and again and again. If the video clip has over 1 hour then I click play it might entirely load into the player in a few minutes then I click on the seek bar to skip at a certain point it starts loading again from that point on. This is the most anoying thing I encounter with Youtube lately.
Second issue is the fact that if I click on the seek bar of the player to skip to a specific time most of the time the playback does not start from that point on but it skips back to the last point where it was so I must click several times or keep the mouse button pressed for a long time on the same point in order to play from that place on. This one is again very anoying.
Third issue is that after the video starts playing in 360p it automatically changes to 720p after a minute or so even if I had checked this setting "I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video" in Youtube Playback Settings. I cleared the cookies and chosed several times the same "I have a slow connection. Never play higher-quality video" setting in Youtube Playback Settings but it just doesn't keep the settings on. This one is again very anoying since my computer can't handle well 720p.
I have reinstalled Win XP SP3 and even installed Win 7 SP1 tried several versions of Flash Player and several versions of Firefox, Chrome and Opera but the same issues occur everytime.
I haven't encounter any of these issues before like 3-4 months ago.

I have had problems trying to watch videos on youtube for the past couple of years. It's been almost unbearable, even if I set the resolution to 144kb! Then a few days ago, I went to youtube and couldn't watch at all. There was an error showing that my Flashplayer was out of date, and then a link to Firefox to get the right update. I did that two times to no avail. I had just installed the newest version of Flash Player as of November 2014, yet this error kept popping up. Finally, out of utter frustration, I did like you did, and uninstalled everything related to Adobe Flash. Then I went to youtube, just to see how bad the result would be, and suddenly videos started playing smoother, at higher resolution, and with faster buffering to start out. Sure, there are some videos that I can't play, and the newest iTunes seemed to have issues without having Flash, but videos aren't frustrating me like they had been on youtube.
So, yeah, I know what you're saying. I had the same solution work for me. Cheers.

After installing Flash Player, I lost sound on Youtube and other sites. How do I fix it?

After installing Flash Player, I lost sound on Youtube and other sites. How do I fix it? I still have sound on some apps.

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating   system
Browser
Flash   Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows
Mac
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
HTML5   video
Non-HTML5 video
Thanks,
Chris

Flash Player 7 was working on Youtube, now it's not?

Hi Everyone
Just a few days ago Flash Player 7 was working on
Youtube. Now it is not. My Javascript was enabled,
unless I checked in the wrong spot. Also it told me
to uninstall Flash Player 7 and re-install it. I tried
to open the uninstaller with Stuffit Expander but it did
not work. I read in an earlier forum that some sites no
longer support Flash Player 7.
Could someone please tell me if it's possible for me to
get back on Youtube as I am missing the music videos.
I am on OS9.1 and I am using IE 5.1
Thank you for all of your help in advance.
Sincerely,
Rudzinka

It's possible you may need to update to IE v5.1.7.
Internet Explorer (Classic) 5.1.7
Internet Explorer 5.1.7
Internet Explorer v5.1.7
"WARNING:" Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer for Mac on December 31st, 2005, and is not providing any further security or performance updates.
Accordingly, as of January 31st, 2006, Internet Explorer for the Mac is no longer available for download from Microsoft.
If you still are unable to get YouTube to work, then you may have no alternativer but to watch YouTube on another browser.

Adobe Flash Player pop-up, how do I get rid of it forever?

Ho do I rid my computer of the Adobe Flash Player pop-up?

I'm going to make an assumption based on scarce information.
The update alerts are fake, and are intended to dupe you into installing malware or disclosing private information so that your identity can be stolen.
You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
If you get the alerts when visiting more than one well-known website, such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they're almost certainly the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker. It's possible, but less likely, that the DNS server used by your ISP has been attacked, but you should assume that the router is at fault until proven otherwise.
The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
After resetting the router, quit the web browser and relaunch it while holding down the shift key. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Do the equivalent if you use another browser. Open the Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
Then go through the router's initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits. Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Save the password in your keychain. Any password that you can remember is weak.
3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
Check the router manufacturer's website for a firmware update.
If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

Hi glennc49009213,
Can You please attach a screenshot [ How to post a screenshot in the forum ], followed by the steps you are performing while uninstalling Flash Player? As the Uninstaller we provide is a universal uninstaller, which works on both 32-bit and 64-bit Win-OS and should not prompt any user in either of the cases.

Why does the Adobe Flash Player pop up keep on appearing when using the browser. It never used to before the upgrade to the latest version.

Since updating to the latest version of Firefox the Adobe Flash player pop up continually pops up whether the page needs flash player or not. It even shows for a text page.
It is very annoying

You can set the default in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" and change that for the Shockwave Flash plugin to "Always Activate".
You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
*Click the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
*Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
*Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab

Does Macbook really needs adobe flash player download in order to watch video clips on the web?

Does Macbook really needs adobe flash player download in order to watch video clips on the web?

Hello Angel8C,
Your MacBook Air running Yosemite will need an updated version of the Flash Player plugin to play web content that is in the Flash format (not all video content is Flash; there is also HTML5 video, amongst others). If you are being prompted to update your Flash Player plugin, you may find the following article helpful:

I recently installed Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin, and now can't play any videos from any website in Mozilla, but Google Chrome works.

Cannot play any video from any website in Mozilla after installing Java 6 update 33, and adobe flash player 11 plugin. However, I can play videos from Google Chrome and also from Internet Explorer. For example, when I'm trying to play a you tube video in Mozilla, a black screen comes up with following error message: "An error has occurred. Please try again later."
(This is like the Wizard of Oz -- when the man comes to the little window in the door and says to Dorothy, "Come back tomorrow." )

This may be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

Stop quicktime player as default to view youtube video

Hi,
My Mac recently updated and whenever I open the video from youtube, the quicktime player will automaticly run the video and say the file not found.
How to unselect quicktime player as default to view youtube video?
Thanks
Trang

If you are opening a Youtube video from your desktop do the following:
Highlight your file>File>Get Info>
In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
Select the application you want to open the file with.
Click the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”
==========================
Short cut:
Control mouse click (right mouse click if available), Open With...-> Other
Pick an app you want to open the video, and make sure to check Always Open With before hitting Open.
Thanks to a brody for the above short cut.
=============
If you are viewing the video on YouTube's site, then the changes can be done through your browser Preferences to select a default video viewer. However, you have not mentioned which browser you are using to view videos.

Adobe Flash Player Pop Up when going to Internet Explorer

I am continuously getting an Adobe Flash Player pop up when going to Internet Explorer. It says "A website wants to open web content using this program on your computer". This program will open outside protected mode etc. etc. If you do not trust this site do not open. This pops up every second. Is this a virus and if so how do I get rid of it?
SKB

My level is at Medium High. I unchecked the “Enable Protected Mode”. Is this safe? The pop up is no longer popping up.
