Flash player refusing to work no matter what I do. Been going on for months now. Help?

Windows 7 (64 bit)
Chrome (32 bit) (ver. 27.0.1453.116 m)
Flash 11.7.700.225
It seems like, no matter what I do, Flash player will not work. Keep in mind that I have already tried disabling/enabling both the plugin that comes with Chrome, along with the plugin that you can manually install from Adobe, and that alone doesn't solve my problem.
If I try to play videos on Youtube, I get one of four results:
1) "This video is currently unavailable," which can come up if I have one of the plugins enabled. I can sometimes solve this by disabling both plugins, but that only works about 25% of the time.
2) The Youtube player just shows black and nothing else. No audio/video and no indication that anything is playing. Like with #1, this can also come up if I have a plugin enabled, and can sometimes be solved like in #1. But again, this only works semi-occasionally.
3) I get the prompt to update my flash player. This can come up if I have both plugins disabled, and I have yet to find a solution for it (yes, I've already uninstalled flash with Adobe's official uninstaller, and reinstalled it to confirm I have the most recent version). If I enable any of the two plugins, I get an error message like in either #1 or #2.
4) The video plays fine. This only happens about 10% of the time, and is split half/half in terms of requiring the plugin on/off.
So far, I have done the following in order to solve my flash problem, to no avail:
-disabled/enabled both plugins (mentioned above)
-uinstalled/reinstalled Flash Player using Adobe's official programs (mentioned above)
-tried using Firefox
-tried using the HTML5 player as an alternative (never works)
-disabled/reenabled every plugin one by one
-disabled/reenabled all extensions, and even tried browsing in Incognito Mode
-tried making an exception for Flash in Windows Firewall
-scanned for and cleaned up any viruses/malware/adware/spyware

The first thing I would try is to update the graphics drivers; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

Flash Player refuses to work.

This is for an acquaintance of mine and is absolutely baffling me. I've uninstalled / installed a dozen different times and ways. I've checked the registry for the flash kill-bit, compared every internet setting to a computer whose flash is working fine and to no avail (including enabled javascript and activeX). In the Manage add-ons there is no Shockwave Flash Object listed after installation (all add-ons, run without permission, etc).
The computer is using IE 9 (9.0.8112.16421) on a Windows 7 machine, which was recently cleaned of a hijack which completely disabled the Internet Explorer which at the times was IE8.
Please help, I'm tearing my hair out trying to figure this thing out and will provide any information required.
Thank you in advance for any help recieved.
I should add that I have checked and re-checked and the browser I am using is indeed a 32-bit browser. The system is 64-bit and the files in my system folder are as follows:
Flash10o.ocx (6,019kb)
FlashInstall.log (2kb)
FlashUtil10o_ActiveX.dll (305kb)
FlashUtil10o_ActiveX.exe (230kb)
The system is running an anti-virus, however during 1 or 2 of my trial installations the system was running in safe mode with no modules of the anti-virus or any messenger services running.

Hi, I've had computer issues all day. Don't give up so easy:-) I'm on a laptop and don't have all of the info I need. Will try to reply tomorrow.
That Security Hijack can do a number on the computer. So Avast didn't remove it but MBAM did. I 've had a few threads involving that and it can come back even after being removed. So I would run MBAM daily until you can get Flash Player Installed (working)

Have installed Flash player millions of times but still can't get BBC IPlayer (not for months)

Why can't I get BBC I Player for the last few months. It always asks me to install the Flash player which I have done millions of times - to no avail. This is hugely annoying

What OS?
What browser?

MS Office 2013 crashes no matter what I've tried. Been going on for a year HELP!!!

I have been having an issue with Excel 2013 crashing for over a year now, I place post after post after post, I have spoken to
numerous times, escalated 6 times and finally spoke to a person who wants money to fix THEIR ISSUE!!!!! What a way to treat your customers.....needless to say , after being in the phone this last time for 2 1/2 hours I did not pay him a dime.
Microsoft KNOWS they have an issue with 2013 crashing. I am so so SO upset, another FULL day on the phone with Toshiba and Microsoft , I mean since 8:00 a.m. AGAIN this morning and still NO RESOLUTION.
When I do a simple cut and paste of ONE CELL, it crashes. OMG, how ridiculous is this. It may work for a week and then forget it, it will crash for a week I can not get ay work done like this. Perhaps another
is the way to go if they cant resolve THEIR issue
Is there ANYONE that has the knowledge to help to fix this? If not, IMHO....Microsoft needs to STOP selling
. At least, get it right, get out all the bugs before you let us determine if it works or not. I have brought it up in safe mode, I have repaired, I have reloaded video drivers, I have taken off all 3rd party software, deleted all *.exd files
to name a few things. Here are some of the event views

I noticed the Faulting module VBE7.DLL in your logs, definitely you were using VBA in Excel.
Well, does the issue occur if working without VBA?
For this VBE7.DLL issue, I have two suggestions:
Method1 - Recompile the Project
1. Open the workbook in Excel. Normally Excel will disable macros in a worksheet until you click a button to enable the macros. Do not enable the macros just yet.
2. Open the VBA editor. You can hit ALT+F11 or on the ribbon click Developer > Visual Basic
3. In the VBA editor double click your module or first module that contains your project. Add a commented line of code such as:
‘ This is a comment
Then click on the Debug menu at the top and click Compile VBA Project.
Repeat this step for each module in your workbook and then save the workbook.
4. Close the workbook and re-open it and enable the macros and test it.
Method 2 - Disable Compile on Demand
In the VBE Editor in Excel, click on Tools > Options > General tab and click to uncheck
“Compile on Demand”.
Alternatively you can set the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VBA\7.0\Common
Type: DWORD
Name: CompileOnDemand
Value: 0

Have been using firefox for months; now has quit working properly with the websites I use everyday. What happened?

It has quit working with "liverez" which is my web based reservation program. The place I login is https://reservations.liverez.com/login.asp?LogOff=True&Return=Res but once I login, the site does not work as it did before. The website that corresponds with this doesn't look right now either. I can't even use my msn email account with firefox now. I have had to go back to using internet explorer. I have not even tried other sites with foxfire at this time. The other sites I use for work. Things that aren't working are that I can't click on things I need to click on, drop downs aren't showing up, pictures are absent, etc. It is all working fine on internet explorer and used to work on firefox until last night.

Thanks to some hints in several strings, I went back to the Control Panel in XP, clicked on Sounds and Devices, clicked on Audio, then changed the default device to the Realtek HD Audio output I have on my computer. Now I can hear You Tube video sound and other Internet audio fine, at least for now. I will come back if it stops again. Thanks to all who posted.

No wi/fi iPhone 4S and no help apple thanks for all the hrs on the phone and letting me use up all my Internet doing what y'all said do and not fits yeah been going on for months and it only mess up each time y'all ask to up date and I'm at 6.1.3

WHy did y'all let me wast my time trying to fix this phone and use up my Internet on here and at home when all everyone that has IPhone has the same problem that I do ? And it's every time y'all add a update I'm at 6.1.3 and that's 3 updates from the time I had got this phone replace in oct and been out of wi/fi two months now and all the reboots from oct I had to do

This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

My computer has been freezing and then emitting a consistent beeping until I shut off the power. It has been getting really hot and the fan gets really loud. This has been going on for months. What's going on?

I just had my macbook pro checked out and all of it's systems restarted to solve its beeping and freezing problem. However, it is still shutting itself down when I close the lid and becoming very hot. When I open the lid again the screen is black and I have to continually hold down the power button in order to turn it back on. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Why is flash player still not working (please fix it adobe)

I have installed, uninstalled downloaded other things that have been suggested and this has been going on for weeks now. It works then it doesnt and I start the whole process again. Please fix this adobe, these are not isolated instances, its a problem for a lot of people. HEEEELLLLLPPPP.

I had a similar experience, when the alerts telling me to upgrade flash
(from Youtube, and which I had already done) I added a widget to Firefox
called "Flash Video Resourced Downloader" and Poof, it began working
again, this stayed a week, and then three days ago, quit again, on all
machines.
Im having trouble with who to blame, as flash "seems" to be working on
all other sites, and validates on the test flash & Shockwave page just fine.
Of course, Youtube provides NO WAY to contact or complain, and if they
did, it's doubtful anyone would speak english anyways, and they'd prefer
us to thing Flash is the problem, when its some illiterate coder there
who's screwed it up.

Has anyone been able to contact Adobe to learn why their Flash Player does not work on Mac OS 10.6.8, no matter how many updates you install? This seems like a big error by Adobe.

I have thee Mac computers with Mac OS 10.6.8, one of which is a Mac Pro. No matter how many updates I install from Adobe, their Flash Player does not work on any of these 3 computers. I don't know how to contact Adobe Systems about this problem, but I think it is their responsibility to make sure that their so-called "universal" software works proplerly on a relatively recent operating system like OS 10.6.8 that is still in widespread use. When you install the updates, nothing happens -- not even an error message. What is the point of a universal player that is not universal? It works fine on my MacBook Pro with OS 9 Mavericks, but it does not work at all -- indeed, has never worked -- on my 3 Macs with OS 10.6.8. Has anyone contacted Adobe Systems to find out why the Flash Player does not work with OS 10.6.8 and what they plan to do about it?

Where are you getting Flash from?
Get the appropriate dmg installer here and then run it.
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
If it still won't install, do these two things: First uninstall any Flash by going into the second level Hard Drive Library>Internet Plug-ins, and trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. Then boot into Safe Boot, Shift at the startup chime (give it much longer than a usual boot) and run the installer while booted in Safe Boot.

Adobe Flash Player not working. Installen latest version. Get the following: "This website would like to run the following addon: Adobe Flash Player from Adobe System Incorporated." Then asking me to allow it for current or all websites. It doesn´t matter

Then asking me to allow it for current or all websites. It doesn´t matter how i do this. The pop-up question returns EVERY time. What do i do to solve this issue???

To give you any useful advice, I'm going to need to know more about your computer and browser:

Re: What can I do if Flash player isn't working at all? Does Flash player work on Macs?

March 1 2015
I'm just gonna keep updating this as I can't really do anything else. I've found several more questions like mine with no answers. I did find one with an answer that mentions that it may be the video card acting up, so I'm gonna post a screenshot of my information.
March 1, 2015
I posted this question on the 25th, and have yet to receive an answer. Because of this crashing problem, I can't do anything on my computer outside of play solitaire, and hang around Adobe communities looking for an answer. I've found several questions like mine (Mac, firefox, flash player constantly crashing) that have no answers either, and I'm getting upset. I've been floating around Mozilla and Apple's help sections, and there's no answer there either. How do I get an answer? Or is there just no fix for this issue and Flash player doesn't work on mac anymore? Is there another program that I can use in place of Flash player? I would very much like an answer, response, or anything cause I stuck here till then. Thank you for you time.
Here's more crash reports:

What can I do if Flash Player is not working at all?
MacBook Pro 10.6.8
Firefox 36.0 no plugins
Adobe Flash Player 16.0.0.305
Hello,
Since last week, Adobe Flash Player has not worked on my computer at all. I can't watch any videos, and any webpage using Flash for the ads crashes. I tried using Adblock initially thinking that the ads were the problem because they have frozen my computer in the past. This did nothing, so I went through the trouble shooting guide for Flash on Mozilla's website. I removed all plugins, disabled hardware acceleration, and even uninstalled Firefox and Flash player then reinstalled them again. It still keeps crashing, and I don't know what to do anymore. Is there anything that can be done? Thank you for your time.

Hi Chelsea,
The USER forums are a forum for users, while Adobe staff does participate it is not our primary responsibility to participate and we post in-between our regular work. Since these are primarily user forums a time-frame for responding is not guaranteed, especially if another user is not familiar with the issue and can't be of assistance.
Please file a bug at https://bugbase.adobe.com/ and include as much information as possible, including attaching the entire contents of the crash log file. Please post the bug number here and I'll triage the bug to get it to the right folks for investigation.

What Flash player version will work to run BBC news streaming on my Mum's old imac OS 10.4.11 ? Th version Flash 10.3 will not install and an earlier version download 10 may do the trick. Anyone know how to fix this or where to get such a download?
Adobe don't seem to offer an alternative.
Any ideas please.

The latest flash version for OS 10.4.11 is v10,1,85,3 which can be downloaded from: Macromedia/Adobe Flash Player
Check Flash Version
Adobe strongly recommends that you first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157 Follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. Repair permissions and restart your computer after the installation is completed.

Flash player is not working - what do I do?

I have a PC. Flash Player used to work on it - now, all of a sudden it doesn't. How do we fix this?
Thanks.

First, update to Firefox 13.0.1. Version 8.0.1 (which you are running) is very out of date, insecure and has known bugs.
After doing that, does Flash work? If not, you are likely the victim of a known flash issue on Windows right now. Try reading [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]] and trying the solutions listed there.

Flash player refusing to work no matter what I do. Been going on for months now. Help?
