Flash Player seems to install, but will not function

Flash Player installs but does not work.  When I go to the troubleshooting website (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html), the box does not fill with information.  If I right click where the box should be however, the menu shows the version and acts as if AFP is installed.  I cannot select settings, but can select global settings.  The global settings dialog box will open.
I am using AFP version 11.7.700.169, using IE 9, and running Windows 7.  I have 2 other PCs, and both are running the program fine.  So far, I have tried many things to troubleshoot with no luck.
So far:
-Complete uninstall, using the Adobe uninstaller.  I have deleted the folders and content as well, shut down, and tried reinstall.
-I have deleted the registry entry and also tried setting it to zero located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}. 
-I am using Norton 360, and have tried an install with all services stopped (Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, Auto protect, etc)
-I have verified Active X filtering is not checked in IE.
-Active X and Scripting options in IE>Tools>Internet Options are enabled and mirror the selections on the two working PCs.
-I have tried to uninstall and reinstall an earlier version of AFP with no luck.
-Shockwave Flash Object Addon is enabled.
Screen shot is included to show what happens on the redirect screen after I install AFP.
I am out of ideas and would appreciate any help on this.
Thanks!

I'm a little disappointed in the forums - no responses.  I'm happy to share I found the issue, and am sharing the solution in case others have the same problem.  The interesting thing is the setting that I changed is different on the two working computers.  In IE9 navigate to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced and the first check box under Accelerated Graphics...check it.  Restart IE and voila, it is fixed.  The other two PCs I am using have this box unchecked and AFP works fine...odd.

  • Flash Player seems to install but when trying to play tv shows it doesn't register and asks me to install again.

    I have a Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3, i have no problem viewing videos on youtube but when i try and watch movies or tv shows streaming them off websites, it seems to come up with this message.
    'Please install flash player HD to continue (required),'
    when i click the install button it leads me to this page
    'You are currently using Apple Safari to browse the web. An outdated video player may be slowing the browser's performance.'
    i have tried using safari, firefox and google chrome and all say the same thing.
    i downloaded and installed both the flash player and the one from safari both seemed to install without a problem but when i go back and try and view the video it shows the same message.
    Please help
    Thank you

    Hi oliviay29570750,
    "flash player HD" is not a valid Adobe product.  Flash Player is just known as Flash Player, not Flash Player HD. Can you please post a screenshot (How to post a screenshot in the forum) of the pop-up message and the page you go to when you click on the link (including the URL of the page)?
    Thank you.

  • Flash player says its installed but is not working- please read

    Hey everyone!
    the past few days I have easily spent several hours working with my flash player. First- it was saying I needed to put in the latest version, so I did, it said it worked but when I tried to watch videos or play a game etc I got an error message saying I needed flash player 11. and I went through that process countless times. I restarted my computer, ran my virus software, etc. when none of that worked I just disabled and trashed ALL of the software I had downloaded since I had had the problem including my current flash player and adobe. Just now, I tried to install the flash player again. It seemed to work great- it said it installed and I clicked finnish... but, behold, I go to watch a video for school and I have the same problem. I tried to change the computer type to the otehr windows 7 option for the download, again it seemed to work fine and downloaded and told me it was finished... but I still can't view my video or do any games etc online. I have worked with the IT department at school and with family... no one can figure it out. it should be working as far as we are all concerned...but it is not and I have school work to do.
    If someone could please help me I would much appriciate it! if this is a glitch with some adobe thing- PLEASE fix it asap. I have work to do!
    Thanks!

    Thanks.

    I stumbled upon the solution. In addition to downloading Creative Cloud, I needed to go back to the website and  download trials for the programs I want to use--Photoshop and Lightroom. Once I did that, I was in business. Would save trouble if that was made clear on the download site.

  • Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.77 will not install on mozilla firefox 27.0.1

    I am using Windows XP.  I downloaded Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.77 and installed it on my computer.  I opened Mozilla Firefox 27.0.1 and went to Youtube.  I clicked on a video to watch and received the following:
    The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback.
    Get the latest Flash Player.
    I opened Control Panel of my computer and saw that Adobe Flash Player is indeed installed.  So why is Firefox not using it?

    It seems to work in my system. However, to get a reasonable answer you should ask in the Flash forum and not this one.

    My apps will not function under any type of command. Allows you to click on it, but does not respond.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

  • Flash Player Uninstalled and clean install but will NOT work

    Yesterday my Flash Player stopped working.  I tried to update and it crashed.  I uninstalled all of the Flash Player info and then did several clean installs.  I tried previous verisons and it still won't work.   I have Windows 7, I use Mozilla Firefox and not sure what else you need to know to help me fix this before I lose my freakin' mind. 

    OK, I will try, but I really don't know. I don't have any other recommendations of places to go and just use Flash like you do. You say it just quit working in Win7. Since you mention Firefox, I am assuming you are using Flash as a plugin for Firefox. Usually when such a problem occurs, something has updated. It may be that the flash plugin in Firefox is disabled.
    Did something else update when Flash quit working. When you say it quit working, what are the symptoms. I went to the samples I listed below to check operation -- what did you do?
    I just updated both Firefox and Flash. I then went http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/samples.html and played a movie sample. No problems.
    All I can do is try to help you troubleshoot and see if I can replicate your problem. After the update of flash, I tried the same sample in SeaMonkey and IE (Ugh). Both worked. I am running Win7, 32-bit for this test. Acrobat version is not relevant for the problem.
    If this does not point to something for you, then more information on what you are defining as working may be needed. At this point, I see no issues on my end and can not replicate a fault. Firefox is now at 18.0.2 and Flash is at 11.6. It is interesting that it is listed as Shockwave Flash from Adobe in the plugins list. If you search for Shockwave Flash, Adobe indicates a version at 12.0. I am not sure about the difference.
    Maybe some of this will help.

  • Flash Player 10.1 installed, but not working in any browser, or showing up on C:

    I recently updated my flash player, however since then, websites requiring flash do not seem to fully load. However, it should also be noted that there is no notification indicating I need to install the software. Sites such as youtube will load, but fail to display the video I want to view, and showing only a black box. Also, sites I need for my HSC preparation are not working, such as the Board of Studies Online Multiple Choice, and Maths Online. The web page will load, indicating "done" in the bottom left corner of the screen, but the screen will be white.
    I have tried the following:
    un-installing, and re-installing (numerous times)
    Restarting the system after both un-installing and re-installing
    Checking all mentioned websites on three browsers --> Firefox 3.5.11, IE 8, Google Chrome. All presented the same outcome: blank pages etc.
    Ensuring that flash was enabled in all above browsers
    My operating system is 32 bit; Vista (Have checked this file--  C:/Windows/System32/Adobe -- and found that the flash player files are absent despite being 'told' it has successfully installed. After which the 'movie'/'f' symbol does not show up in the installation check online)
    I assume all the above browsers are 32bit as well, however I'm not sure how to check this.
    Please help... I have been searching forums for hours and trying various methods to attempt to fix the problem myself, but have been unsuccessful. It has become increasingly frustrating with the approaching HSC only a couple of weeks away !

    There is no flashinstall.log file in that folder. There is a FlashInstall file that opens in Notepad when I click on it.  The contents of that file are below.  Does this give you any clue as to what is wrong?  It is WAY beyond my techincal competence.
