Flash Player Prob. Help Please...

OK I am not computer savvy in the slighest way, as you will soon find out. I only use Adobe Flash Player to play games and do Farmville on Facebook, and I just got a new computer tower in Jan. so everything was working perfectly. But yesterday all of a sudden I can't do anything because it is telling me in order to play games I must upgrade to Flash 10.1. I can download it and close the download manager but when I go to test it out, it shows that I have nothing. It is not working. I have trouble-shot and uninstalled just to install and uninstalled some more and now I am just flustered about it.
I am running Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8. I believe my operating system is 64bit but when I go to the start menu I see Internet (64 bit) and just Internet which I assume is the 32 bit version. So I am not sure what to do. If someone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

OK when I look at tools and managte add ons it shows that shockwave is enabled under currently  loaded add ons. But when I go to the test page it says it was successful but I see no animation or image UGH......
But under that link you asked about these are the file names..... Flash and FlashPlayerTrust and FlashInstall and LeapfrogConnect.cfg.
I really hope that is what you needed to know because I am so not technological. Sorry for any confusion.

  • My internet is automatically restarting when I use flash player. Help please.

    It says there's a problem with an add-on. I check what add-on it is and its the adobe flash player 10 thats causing the problem. My brother's computer is doing the exact same thing which is weird. Has anybody heard of this problem before? Do you know how to fix it?
    Thank you.

    First, give us some information
    what is your operating system & version?
    what is your web browser & version?
    what is your Flash Player version (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html)?
    Next, what does it mean "my internet [...] is restarting"; your internet connection, or your browser?  Please explain.
    Finally, the latest Flash Player version is 10.1; FP10 is an old version.

  • Run diffierent movie formats in Flash Player. Help Please

    Hi,
    I want to run different movie formats upload by user in
    Flash Player. Something like U Tube functionality
    1 - Is there any player that run different movie formats like
    MP3, AVI etc directly into Flash Player. No need to convert?
    Another way is to convert different formats into FLV and
    than run into flash player.
    Is there any good FLV converter out there which converts on
    the web during user upload.
    Or user upload movie that is than converted to FLV but part
    of web application not desktop application.
    Any code or any tutorial to covert into FLV?
    Platform is windows server 2003 and application is ASP.NET
    2.0
    Thanks

    Spotlight search "Flash Player.plugin" and search the entire Mac HD.
    Trash EVERYTHING that appears (there should be between 8 and 12 items depending on what you have installed)
    Empty the trash
    Reset Safari per Apple instructions
    Then follow the instructions here:  How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X

  • I Need Help for the popup message every time I go to safari: "Warning! Old version of Adobe Flash Player detected. Please download new version."???

    I Need Help for the popup message every time I go to safari: "Warning! Old version of Adobe Flash Player detected. Please download new version."???

    If you are talking about Safari on the iPad, there is no version of Adobe Flash for iOS and there never has been. Clear Safari, close the app and reset the iPad.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If you are talking about Safari on your Mac, you are in the wrong forum. But I would still clear the cache, quit Safari and restart the Mac.

  • Can't install Adobe Flash player ERROR. Please help

    I tried to download the update of Adobe Flash Player BUT every time I try to download it... Look at the screen shot. ERROR.
    Please help me I am really happy if someone here can help me.

    Hello,
    The log file indicates there are permissions issues on a couple of files and they are not being removed.  This is preventing the installation of the new version.  Please run the uninstaller, posted here Uninstall Flash Player | Windows, and post an updated FlashInstall.log file, and a screenshot of the files remaining in the /Macromed/Flash directory after running the uninstaller.  Please only run the uninstaller and do not attempt to re-install at this time.
    Thank you.

  • Flash Player not working : Please Please help

    Hi I have installed and unistalled flash player atleast 30 times now... but still its not working.. Please help me.. I really need help.. Please Please

    Hi, thanks. I'm sure you know that you must use the 32bit browser as there is no Flash Player support for the 64bit.
    Also you must be the Administrator and use the Administrator Account to Install Flash Player.
    Download the Uninstaller and SAVE it to your Desktop:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Then Download the Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer and SAVE it to your Desktop:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
    Be sure to read and follow the Uninstall instructions as there are a couple of things you need to do first. When you are ready to use the Uninstaller, Close all browsers. Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot. Since you have IE, Reboot again. When that is finished, Run the Installer and when finished, Reboot Once.
    Go here to test: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

  • I got some serious problems installing flash player on windows, please help?

    i got windows 7 but using a safari browser cause none of the other browsers work on my computer, and i have flash player 11 installed but thats just way to outdatet since most of the websites i use require a newer version. so i was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this little problem of mine, i have tried all the things on adobes support site but nothing seems to help, please help me ?  

    Suggest you do the following.
    Download the uninstaller from here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550
    Choose to Save and save it somewhere you can find it easily again. Do not choose Run.
    Disable any AV shields like file scanners which kick into action as soon as you uninstall/install anything. If you're not sure how to do that, consult this list for instructions: Disable Antivirus
    Run the uninstaller to remove Flash from your system. Be aware that it also uninstalls it from any other browsers you might be using such as Firefox, Opera etc., but not from Google Chrome.
    Reboot, disable AV shields again and then go to the same site once more to download the installer: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550
    When you see the prompt this time, choose Run to install immediately.
    If you use Firefox, Opera or any other browser where Flash is a plugin, download the installer for those. Flash in Google Chrome is embedded and will auto-update, so no need to worry about that one.
    N.B. If you use Windows Live Messenger or any app which uses Flash, disable it before you run both the uninstaller and the installer.

  • I can't install Flash Player 13. Please help ...

    I notice this when I open some websites. The pages looks weird, looks like it won't load properly.
    So, I tried to check whether I have the updated flash player or not. I do have the updated version (on Google Chrome browser)
    However, it still the version 12 installed on my laptop.
    I tried to re-install the version 13 again. But, the connection is lost. It's weird because my internet (WiFi) works fine.
    I did restart my laptop and reinstall the version 13 again. It still do not want to connect.
    Please help... Because Youtube starts to give me weird display (no play button, no full screen button...)
    Thank you in advance.

    Use the offline installers:
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • FLASH PLAYER MISSING PLUGIN PLEASE HELP!!

    Since the Last Safari Update,I've been constantly getting a missing plugin message whenever FlashPlayer was required.
    I have tried uninstaling/installing FlashPlayer from the adobe website. But still always asked to download the latest version.And later did disk permission repair/check, nothing worked. I even disabled som of the plugins i had read in the discussion that might cause some problems such as the java cocoa plugin, but flash player's plugin is still missing.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Latest version of Flash is 10.3.181.26
    It installs in Macintosh HD/Library/Internet plug-ins and is available to all browsers.
    Make sure you're getting the right one; there is  one for Firefox, Safari and Opera and a seperate one for Chrome.
    Best to install with all browsers closed (note - you have to open and authorise the installer - it doesn't install automatically on download).
    If a browser's open, quit and reopen it to enable the plug-in.
    Be wary of error messages claiming you don't have the right plug-in. Don't follow links from them, they're often used to redirect you to malware sites.
    And ensure JavaScript is enabled when trying to view Flash; it won't work without it.

  • Flash player wont work please help

    I have flash player installed and recently no videos, for example youtube, will work on ANY browser. I have tried troubleshooting and resetting browsers and nothing has worked, I cant watch any videos, please help!
    It looks as if the videos keep restarting 2 or 3 times then crash altogether if that helps

    This is super weird, particularly because the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer), NPAPI (for Firefox) and PPAPI (for Chrome) browsers are all pretty different.  This is definitely not the normal pattern.
    Does *any* Flash content work?  Maybe something old like http://www.homestarrunner.com?  My guess is that it doesn't.
    I definitely need some more clues:
    - Operating System and Version
    - Browsers and Versions
    - Any anti-virus/anti-malware/firewall/save-flash-video-to-disk kind of stuff installed?
    - Any JavaScript blockers or privacy plug-ins that might block JavaScript from executing?
    My gut feel says reboot, Uninstall Flash Player | Windows, then download a fresh copy of Flash Player for Firefox and Internet Explorer by using each browser to go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer. 
    Hopefully that helps.
