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.

Problem with adobe flash player, it's installed but doesn't work....

I have Windows 7 - Internet Explorer 9 with both 32 and 64 - 32 being the main one used.
It's 4 months old and has worked beautifully up till a couple of days ago when trying to get into Mathletics website it tells me Javascript is diabled. Please turn on Javascript to access Mathletics website, then it comes up with
Mathletics Minimum Requirement
To view this website, Flash Player 9 or above is required. You can download the latest one for free from Adobe by clicking the image below:
We haven't touched Flash Player or Javascript so I don't know why all of a sudden this has happened after using it without any problems for 4 months.
Anyway I've checked all the suggestions re Internet Options Security (custom level etc) and checked Internet Options Programs manage add-ons, and checked under ?Help that we're running IE (without 64bit showing). I've uninstalled and reinstalled the current Flash Player version several times, and when I check http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ it shows I have version 10,3,181,34 installed, I've even copied across from my last backup the version which worked before these problems. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled Java.
Can someone please help.
thanks

thanks for the explanation.
I think I will leave ActiveX Filtering enabled. I have added the mathletics webiste to my restricted sites (tools, internet options, security, restricted sites) and have changed the custom level to ActiveX Filtering disabled, and I have also changed the (top right hand corner) content filtering to read "no content is filtered on this site".
Is this ok that I do that?
However, it hasn't rectified my problem.
I see there are quite a few people that seem to be having the same or similar problem with Windows 7 / IE9 and Flash Player, is it possible there's a bug?
Yes I do have Citrix installed, will contact them about that problem - thanks.
Thanks

Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.6 r602 stopped working and was closed?

After trying many different fixes including uninstalling flash player and unsuccessfully trying to reinstall it, would consistently stop loading at about 57 percent. Either there are remains of registry keys interfering or your site or my computer has been attacked. No malware showing after checking with antivirus. Seen same message on other computers. Had to restore computer to earlier date but lost some contact info in the process in Skype. Possible problem from trying to install internet tv software, but restored to previous point there to. Computer works ok but slowed on internet considerably but message shows continuously daily need a better solution or let your site analyze my flash player. What can I do?
adobeloug

thank you for your info, I did edit the question to show I was using vista (business to be specific). I will try again with some afterthoughts. Will enable Java first. I remember that was a problem in a previous update, I thought that was always running and go through the steps again. I don't feel comfortable messing with the registry and if you can add some advice on how to deal with that safely that would be appreciated also. Thank you so much for your quick response. Also, isupgrade to explorer 10 recommended for vista or is it suppose to accommodate windows 8. I don't want to be a beta tester before they work out all the kinks sincerelyadobelougLou Grubin

No. The warranty does not cover damage.
You can only get a replacement if you can talk Apple into selling you and out of warranty replacement.

SSRS 2008 R2 Calendar Control not working and report not refreshing on pressing enter in Chrome.

SSRS reports are always best viewed in IE and the report result what you see in IE always will not be same and consistent in thirdy party browswers.
So consider using IE as workaround.

Good morning, AdobeSuite installation does not work and I receive"error initializing program, download adobe advisor" error message.

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. We don't even know what exactly you are trying to install.

Safari 5.1.7 for OS X Lion, Safari 5.1.7 for OS X Snow Leopard, and Leopard Security Update 2012-003 disable out-of-date versions of Adobe Flash Player.
Out-of-date versions of Adobe Flash Player do not include the latest security updates and will be disabled to help keep your Mac secure.

I have purchase iphone4 from someone,it is not factory unlock ,how can i get it factory unlock,its safari not working and its not showing drive on my computer

i have purchase iphone4 from gray market,it is not factory unlock,how can i get it factory unlock,
its safari not working and it is not showing drive in my computer.

iPhones are sold in carrier-locked and unlocked versions. If the phone has a carrier lock on it, you must contact the carrier to have it removed (you probably need to bring the phone to the carrier for the process). If you don't know the carrier, you won't be able to get it unlocked. US carriers will not remove the carrier lock and it cannot be removed.
How is Safari behaving that makes you say that Safari is not working? The lock status of the phone won't affect Safari, except that if the phone is locked and you aren't using the carrier (and SIM provided by the carrier) to which it is locked, then you can't use the phone or 3G service, only Wi-Fi.
The iPhone should not appear as a drive on your computer, so there's no error there.

Elements 10 not working and uninstall not working either help please?

Elements 10 does not work and I have tried to uninstall it with the intention of re-installing. When I press un-install it tells me it is still uninstalling or changing the program but this has been happening for three hours? Windows installer is saying 'cancelling' the same for two hours. I am stuck please help. Many thanks in advance from a well qualified luddite!

Update - I am manually un-installing because as I can't get photoshop to work - (it says it is scanning for updated and never stops -) I assume it is corrupt. I have selected it and then uninstalled - had no further options offered to me and now it is saying ' please wait until the current program is finished unistalling or being changed' I am totally confused. Now I am getting the message 'Install server not responding' Please 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.

Flash Player has downloaded/installed, but still does not work

This is a relatively new problem for my computer, but from what i have read, is a common problem so I know it is not my computer. Out of the blue, click on a video and all i see is a black screen. No adobe logo saying i needed to update or download in order to watch video. So i unistalled, rebooted and reinstalled..nothing. I uninstalled/installed with zip..nothing. Everything that is enabled is enabled..nothing. Reset IE...nothing. Downloaded Mozilla..nothing. I am currently running windows xp, IE 8 (32 bit) and all security software are disabled. The crazy part is that when i check the file for flash player, it does not show any bites in file. I know there should be bites in there because i checked on a computer with working flash player and it shows 6.00 mb. So somewhere from the installation, the file is lost. i have tried pretty much all suggestions, dating back from '09 and really really need some advice.

ok..flash player x is listed. always has been. i don't understand the whole "no files" bit cuz the computer that i am using show 6.00mb in files. unless it is outdated? this computer is brand new, custom made as of last month to my specs, so i can't see how adobe would be outdated. Mozilla shows in my add/remove files, but that flash player plugin is nowhere to be found. in fact, this is all the adobe files i see in order:
Adobe AIR
Adobe Download Manager
Adobe Flash Player10 Active X
Adobe Flash Reader X
Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5
i am really not liking mozilla, however...upon clicking a video, it is telling me i need to update to newer version of adobe. When i click on dl, it gives me a window to save as a binary file. it will not download and all security/firewall are off. Shockwave has always been enabled. pretty much anything you posted to do in past threads..i have done. its driving me crazy
i can bring up other websites, just cannot watch videos and was stuck on that redirect to adobe forum..will try the forum again.

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 players shows as installed but not recognized by adobe web site

I have downloaded flash player 10.3 -windows 7 64 bit -IE9 browser 32 bit. No error message during install. Dialogue box said done and closed adobe manager window. If I look under installed programs on my pc it shows flash player and if I go to manage add ons in browser it shows an adobe plug in as enabled. My proble--which never occured before in the 5 months I have had my pc -is when I go to any web page it apears the flash player is trying to put information in blank advertisemen spots but instead these adds are flickering in upper left hand corner of web page. Also, if I go to one of the adobe web pages to check what version I have--I expected to see a little dialogu box with my version number--instead that doesn't happen but I see a lot of flickering pictures in that space. Anyone know what might be the issue and how to fix? I have uninstaled the flash player as it was causing too much disturbance with all the flickering images in left upper portion f browser.

Hi, What Inofor linked to is helpful. Some users have done this also and that has solved their issues. It sort of depends on what is causing the problem it seems. This came from a couple of other threads that used it. Maybe they didn't have the problems discussed in the link Inofor posted.
I don’t know if somebody has suggested this or not but what I did to make Flash 10.3 work on my IE9 (32 bit on a 64bit Windows 7) was to click on the gear icon, then click on “internet options”, then “advanced”, then finally uncheck “use software rendering instead of GPU rendering” finally you must close IE9 for the settings to work"
Thanks,

Flash player shows as installed but will not work and is not recognized by anything including adobe
