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.

  • TS3212 I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install.  Does not work.  same message.  What is a solution?

    I get an apple application support error when installing itunes. It says uninstall and re-install.  Does not work.  same message.  What is a solution?

    Is that an error 2 message?
    If so, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    Hi stick462,
    What is the version of Adobe Acrobat / Reader you are trying to install on Windows 7. Was it working before on the same machine?
    Also, you may try to uninstall Adobe Reader/Acrobat using cleaner tool if the version is 9 or above:  http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Try reinstall again and let me know.

  • Flash 10.1 installed but will not work because of plugin issue.

    I am running Windows XP with FF V 3.6.6 and installed 10.1.  I cannot open media flash files and get the message: "Plugin for this content is disabled".  I have done a Plugin check through FF and it is unable to detect plugin version for getPlusPlus for Adobe 16263. Help!

    In my personal life, if I think that malware has touched my machine, I just wipe it and install from pristine sources.  I don't tend to recommend that approach when helping people in a support context because it reads like a cop-out, but it doesn't sound like your machine is working right.  You might consider just backing up any critical data files and blowing the whole thing away.
    While you got rid of the thing that was detected, there's no guarantee that that malware didn't download additional new payloads.  Hundreds of new virus signatures appear daily, and it takes time for the AV vendors to discover and publish signatures for them.
    So, that said, you can try running the Windows system file checker:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833
    If that doesn't work, I don't have any good suggestions.  Flash Player is a built-in component of Internet Explorer on Win8.1, and I haven't found a method for forcing a complete uninstall/reinstall of IE.  I'm still looking for a good solution on this, but I haven't figured on out yet.
    Out of curiosity, what anti-virus/anti-malware/security tool(s) are you using?

  • Flash Player says it is installed but doesnt actually work

    So i am trying to use the Pandora website as well as some others, but it keeps saying i need flash player. I go to the adobe site and i installed the newest one and it said successfully installed. But when i (even after restarting my computer) try to use Pandora again it says i need to have flash player.
    I tried to do the plugin check thing for Firefox but it just kept loading during the check. Also I looked in my add-on page, and i cant make it so a flash player can always be active. Thanks!

    any ideas??

  • Flash Player 11 Shows sucessful installation, but does not work

    I have installed FLASH PLAYER 11 on a VISTA system using IE9.
    I get a sucessfull installation when it is finished installing. But I can not view any Videos. I get the message that  need to install the FLASH PLAYER to view the video.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the version as well as the 10.1 version with no sucess.
    When I look at the CONTROL PANEL I see the FLASH PLAYER symbol. But when I goto the Programs and Features to uninstall it I do not see anything in the SIZE box
    I also do not see the FLASH PLAYER 11 in any of the All Programs folders.
    I tried to follow all of the online trouble shooting procedures to no avail.

    some people are having issues with the adobe download page.  we ask that you download the uninstaller and  installer directly from the links from this page: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3952360
    run the uninstaller
    restart your machine
    run the installer
    if you have a 64-bit system, you will only need to download the 64-bit installer.   it will install 32-bit binaries also...

  • Was updating Flash drive says it was successful but will not work on daily games

    was updating flash drive & it said it was successful, but willnot work

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Operating system
    Browser
    Flash Player version
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows
    Mac
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the user of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
    HTML5 video
    Non-HTML5 video

    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 />

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

    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.
    Thanks
