Flash Player screwed up my whole computer!

My computer was fine until last night I recieved a pop up
that said I needed to install and Active X control. It prompted me
to download Flash player 10. I tried to do so, but it will not
fully install or uninstall. I looked at the support messages and
did everything that I could with no luck. Now my computer will not
play videos and on every page I open it asks me if I want an active
X control to run. Please help me, this is so annoying!

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

    Why did Flash Player install McAfee on my computer without my permission?

    If you downloaded Flash Player from the standard location http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ then you WILL have the option to decline the bundled install:
    If you download the installer from Mike's link above (which is posted several dozen times in this forum every day), then you will not get any bundled software.

  • How can I get Adobe Flash Player to install on my computer

    I just sent in a question regarding installing Adobe Flash Player on my computer.   In fact, I did it twice.  I do not understand how this discussion section works?

    Thanks so much for your answer to my first question.
    I have Windows 7 and use the Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    I do not have any version of Adobe Flash Player on my computer.  I recently received a message from Kaspersky Security that there was a problem with my Adobe Flash Player.  I then uninstalled the Flash Player that was on my computer.  I don't know what version that was.
    Now, I am trying to download another version of Adobe Flash Player on my computer.   When I hit the install  prompt, I am unable to hit run as a pop-up message comes across the bottom of my screen which asks me if I want to open or save.   When trying either of these options, I get an error message that says the attempt has failed.
    I tried to work through the help section on Adobe.com today.  I tried to go into tools and change the settings it suggested.  This also failed.
    Now, I don't know where to go from there?

  • Re-install adobe flash player everytime i restart the computer

    Hello,
    i found a thread in the ADOBE forum where a user reported he had to reinstall adobe flash player everytime he restarts his computer. I am having the same problem, can you please walk me through a solution?
    thanks

    Hi,
    I registered just so I could try to help with this problem. I LITERALLY was having the same exact problem for a long time. I finally found a solution. Here is what I did:
    *If Using Firefox:
    1. Start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding the Shift Button and double clicking the firefox browser icon. It should give you the options to "Start in Safe Mode" or "Reset Firefox". - Start in "Safe Mode".
    2. Download the newest flash player from adobe's website.
    3. Download the Adobe Flash UNISTALLER from Adobe as well.
    4. Close the browser and run the Adobe Flash Player UNISTALLER.
    5. Once complete, locate "C:\Windows\System32" folder on your C: drive.
    6. Find the folder called "Macromed" and DELETE the entire folder.
    7. RESTART YOUR COMPUTER.
    8. Once computer starts back up, hold the SHIFT button and double on the Firefox icon to launch it. This time when presented with the option to start in "Safe Mode" or "Reset Firefox", click "RESET FIREFOX".
    9. Once it completes, close the browser and RESTART YOUR COMPUTER AGAIN.
    10. Once it starts back up, install the Adobe Flash Player. When that is finished. RESTART your computer one last time. ***This last time is to verify that after your computer is turned off and back on, the flash player will still work.****
    11. When your computer starts back up, open the firefox browser NORMALLY and go to a site like youtube that uses flashes. If the videos play correctly and you dont receive a message about installing flash player,......CONGRATULATIONS!!! PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
    12. ****OPTIONAL!!!**** - Go to firefox addons and check to make sure all of your plugins are up to date. You should see adobe flash player in the list as up to date. If so, restart your computer one last time, start the browser agin and check your plugins once more. If they are still up to date, you're problem is officially solved.
    If this solved your problem, please let people know. Look at the date I posted this reply. Its still been happening long after you first started this forum.

  • Does Flash player have to restart my computer after downloading and installing

    HI I was wondering if someone could please answer a question for me.  The last flash player I installed on my Windows Vista computer I was given several options in whether I wanted to Automatically install Flash player on my computer so I cidked the recommened option to automatically install Flash player on my computer.  What I would like to now is this after flash player has downloaded and installed  on my computer does flash player does it have to restart my computer before flash player will be fully installed on my computer and before flash player will work on my computer.
    Thanks for your time
    Any advice is welcome
    ps: I hope I did not have any spelling mistakes sorry if I had any.
    some imfo that might be helpful:
    Windows Vista desktop computer.

    No, the silent background update does not need a restart to complete the installation.
    However, it may need to wait until the browser is restarted in order to delete old files.  Nothing to worry about.

  • Flash Player has screwed up my whole computer!

    My computer was working fine until last night. When I opened
    a page it said you may need to download ActiveX something or other
    and gave me a link to download Flash Player 10. The problem is it
    will not download all the way, it just pauses. I also tried to
    uninstall it and it just pauses. I lowered the security, and now it
    asks me on every page it I want software to run active X controls
    and plug ins. I just want my computer to run like it did, please
    help the support help on here is useless to me.

    If you're using Internet Explorer 7 try to delete the flash
    player ActiveX. Go to "tools" menu on the right --> "manage
    add-ons" and find Shockwave flash ActiveX
    Or, use Control panel, add&remove programs and uninstall
    Flash player ActiveX - I guess this is the more appropriate way
    Then go to the adobe website and reinstall it from there.

  • Flash is now freezing my whole computer since last upgrade 14?

    Windows 7/ 64 bit

    Flash player 14
    Active X 13 ?  (Not sure why these are different)
    Since my last flash upgrade I haven't been able to play any games like farmville 2. When I try my game freezes every few seconds, and then my whole computer freezes and I have to do a manual shutdown.  I have tried everything I could find on your help site and nothings working. I do not have a Realplayer, I have a Realtek player so I did not complete any of those help instructions. What do I do now?

  • Why won't the new flash player show up on my computer?

    Alright, so, about a week or two ago (around when the update came out) the flash on my computer stopped working, now browser-based is fine, but anything i tried to work with without internet no longer functions, So I've tried downloading this update atleast 4 different times, and each time, it downloads completely as far as i can tell, but it doesn't show up anywhere on my computer as well as the flash files still being un openable. any help?

    Oh right, i meant to include that information but i must've forgotten.
    1. I'm using Windows XP, 32 bit.
    2. I use the 32 bit version of a browser called Rockmelt, but like i said flash in my browser works fine.
    3. Currently i have no flash player, but i've attempted multiple times to install v11.2.202.228
    4. As I said, starting around the update, the flash player on my computer no longer runs or opens any flash objects or .swf files. I get no error message after installation is complete, but i can't use it.

  • I need some help to install flash player back on to my computer

    HI I was wondering if I could please ask a question about Flash player.  When I download the flash player from the Adobe website it downloads ok to my Windows Vista home basic computer.  So then I went and tried to install Flash player on my computer.  After the first time I had no luck in installing Flash player on my computer so I downloaded the uninstalled program to my desktop.  I then uninstalled the old version of Flash player off my computer.  So again I downloaded Flash player the lasted version from Adobe.com again.  After I download Adobe flasher player to my desktop then I tried to install it again on my computer and then a message came up saying that only once instance of the program could run.  So then I have restarted my computer several times and I have down the following several times on my computer.  I have not been able to install Flash player on my computer as of yet.
    I should mention that I am only an intermediate computer user no difficult trouble shooting please.
    I would like to now if their is anything I can do for help or any ideas welcome
    I use Firefox as my default browser version: 7.0
    Windows Vista home Basic computer

    Try downloading the installer(s) from the links in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580

  • Flash Player not working on new computer

    I just purchased a new computer; HP Pavilion 23-g010 All-in-One. 64 bit Windows 8.1 When I try to play my games on facebook it says that I need to install Adobe Flash Player. When I follow the prompts the computer shows a pop up that says it's already installed. I check all your trouble shooting requests and none of them work as the computer pop up continues to say that it is not needed eg; updates. Active x is ok. What should I try next? Thanks for any input.

    if you are running Internet Explorer 9, please see this post( it may pertain to your situation):

  • Sick and tired of having to reinstall Adobe Flash Player everytime I restart my computer.

    I'm running the Latest Flash player 11.2on Windows 7 64bit with IE 9 and McAfee antivirus and this problem has been going on for at least a year. I keep hoping that a new version of flash player will solve the problem but after a year I am just sick of problems with Flash. (I hate Steve Jobs but I'm beginning to share his view of Flash.) Every time I start my laptop I have to reinstall Flash to view any videos or flash content on the web. I always get a message that I need to update my flash player and I have already updated it a million times. After I update it works until I restart the machine. I searched for solutions on Google, Adobe Forum and tried all the different suggestions but the problem continues. I've tried using other Antivirus programs but the problem continues. It doesn't matter if I use the 32 bit or 64 bit IE. It's always the same problem. Why can't Adobe find a solution to this problem? People have been complaining about the problem since Flash Player 9. I've experienced the problem since Flash player 10. I'm wondering if Adobe is doing it intentionally just to increase the number of downloads for the Adobe Flash player and every time I have to deselect the stupid Google bar. Maybe Adobe is just trying to make more money off Google by forcing me to reinstall two or three times a day?

    Sorry, I should have explained more.  You do indeed want to use the 64 bit installer, it's just that this installer actually installs both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Flash Player.  The 32 bit version of Flash Player is kept in the syswow64\macromed\flash folder and the 64 bit version is in system32\macromed\flash.
    I'm a bit concerned that this might not help, given that you see the same behavior for both 32 and 64 bit versions of IE, but doing a clean install can't hurt and should hopefully fix the install log issue I see in the reports you sent me.
    If you can, please generate another set of logs after doing the uninstall and folder/file deletions.

  • I keep getting "Attention! Your current version of Adobe Flash player is outdated! Your computer is vulnerable to malware now. Update your Adobe Flash player now" but I already have an updated version of adobe

    It pops up randomly and won't let me click out of it. I'm certain it's malware or something like that, but I can't seem to stop it from happening. Below is a page that I'm directed to each time. I think all this started from me clicking on someone's tumblr page.
    Here's another image from a different tumblr page. I'm afraid to download it because I don't know what it will do.

    You should ignore it.
    You should updeate only either from System > Flash Player > Check Now
    or direct from Adobe site.
         Install Adobe Flash Player.

    Chrome has built in Flash Player. This is bogus warning.

  • FLASH PLAYER NOT RUNNING ON SECURED COMPUTER

    I
    believe my problem is similar to the one described here.
    We are running Windows Server 2003 with thin clients that RDP
    into the server. I have the latest version of Flash player
    installed on the server. I have administrative priviledges and I
    have no problems but for a secure user they get a message that the
    website requires the latest version of flash player. We have many
    websites we need to visit that have flash content and we can't. I
    assume that it is related to one of two things: 1) Flash player
    won't function without administrative priviledges [which would be
    absolutely stupid on Adobe's part if this is the case] or 2) there
    is a GPO setting preventing it from functioning. I think the latter
    is the correct problem. I am not farmiliar enough with the way
    Flash player operates so I need a little guidance finding the
    correct GPO - any ideas anyone?

    When I open Task Manager the only thing I see is "Tasks".  I do not see the Processes tab.  I have seen this in the past along with measures of other activity, but not anything now.  I tried the Start/Search - nothing about Processes.
    Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab.  On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
    Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.
