Flash  Player says installed but  its not

I have installed 10.1 4 times tonight each time i get installation complete but nothing is there when I check to see if Flash 10.1 is installed per the installation instructions. I 've tried the automate download and manual. I have internet explorer 32 bit as far as I know  operating on Windows XP. I changed security settings as recommended - I 'm not good at computers to begin with - what do I need to do

I have exactly the same problem:  I've downloaded flashplayer, DLM says that it's successful, but no icon is on the desktop.
I've gone to the software/flash/about site, and it shows an animated logo with the message that flash was correctly installed.
If I go to start - all programs - reader is shown but flash is not.
Other sites (including within Adobe) tell me that I need to install flash.
I went to windows\system32\macromed\flash, and it listed 6 files:
      Flash101.ocx
      FlashInstall
      FlashUtil101_ActiveX
      FlashUtil101_ActiveX.dll
      Genuinst
      KB923789
When I click on FlashUtil101_ActiveX, I get a message box telling me that it will UNinstall flash, so I quit it.
When I go to control panel, Add/remove, it DOES list flash player.
My system is WindowsXP, 5.1 - SP2.
Each time that I've downloaded flash, it's been with the DLM, I didn't see an option to manually download it.
Each time it's downloaded, McAfee downloads and successfully installs, and it's icon appears on the desktop.
I would sincerely appreciate any suggestions that you can offer.
Very respectfully,
Larry

  • Flash player saying installed but doesnt work

    i have a toshiba laptop with internet explorer 6 and its an
    xp machine
    basically some websites that need flash redirect me to the
    adobe flash player site and i click install and it installs.
    then an animation plays when its successfully installed
    but then when i go back to the website that requires
    flash...flash doesnt work!
    im going crazzy now cos no-one knows what to do.
    any suggestions. any???? xx

    Well, first of all you might want to get IE7. Just go to
    filehippo.com. In any case, go to start>control
    panel>internet options. Go to the security tab and set the
    internet zone to default>apply. Then go to the privacy tab and
    click on sites. Make sure the website is allowed to set cookies.
    Then set the cookie slider to medium or medium-high. This internet
    options screen is different for IE6 and IE7, so your buttons may
    vary slightly from mine since I have IE7. Really, IE7 is better in
    my opinion and your favorites will carry over.

  • Flash player says installed but no size listed

    I finally got the flash player to download without an error messge but when I doublecheck the file under programs it doesn't have any size to the file. This means it really didn;'t download - correct?

    It must have some size, even if it's zero.
    If you tell us your OS and browser, we may be able to give you an alternate download location.

  • AAM says"Installed" but its not

    I tried to install acrobat x pro but it gave me an error, but in my application, the program was present, but obviously corrupted. It wouldnt open and the unistaller froze as well. I ended up uninstalling using app zapper but not the AAM still says that it is installed. How do I change that status?

    AAM may give an error regarding installation if Acrobat X was already installed. Before attempting to install it through AAM I would first ensure it is not listed in Programs & Features/Add Remove Programs or Mac HD > Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.
    AAM uninstalls automatically when removing all CS6 applications.
    I'm moving this thread over to our download/installation forum.

    There's two different versions of Flash. The ActiveX version for IE, and the Plugin version for other browsers. Did you install the correct version? This forum's software doesn't thing that Flash is installed for Firefox or the Plugin is disabled.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

    This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Flash player 9 installed but...

    I am trying to open raw .swf files (not through a browser). I
    uninstalled what I thought was my old flash player and installed
    the new Flash Player 9. When I double click on the .swf it
    automattically opens the Flash Player 6 window and does not play
    the file. If I right click the .swf and open in a IE browser window
    it runs fine. How do I set FP 9 as the default for all files, not
    just in IE.
    Is there a way to get the Flash Player 9 file as an .exe that
    I can open and then open the file?

    I've been trying to reproduce this for the last few weeks but so far have been unable to.  If I understand you correctly, when you go to this page:
    http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_2/test_dynamic_multiple.html
    You're seeing the alternate content (most likely prompts to update/install flash) for all 4 blocks?  Do you have any idea what I could be missing and why I can't reproduce this?
    Thanks,
    Chris
