Flash Player Upgraded But Lost Capability

I read thru the other posts with similar/same problems and tried a couple of the recommended mitigations, but did not find an answer that helps me with my situation. I had visited at least two sites that tell me I don't have the current version of Flash installed, but I do. I removed all older versions and have reinstalled the current one at least a dozen times.
I have version 10.1.102.64 installed - according to my Control Panel
OS - Windows XP SP3
IE - 7.0.5730.11
Norton 360 v3.8.0.41
I don't like losing capability when I'm forced to upgrade a plug-in. It seems this is a widely occurring problem.
I need to get this working so I can get back to accessing the capabilities I had before this "upgrade". Please advise if I need to provide more information on my system configuration to help you help me with my troubleshooting.

What files do you have in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash ?
On Internet Explorer | Tools | Add-ons, do you have Shockwave Flash object enabled?

Cannot download new adobe flash player upgrade

I just tried to download the newest Adobe Flash Player Upgrade by going to the Adobe website. The Adobe Flash Player Installer appeared in my downloads file. But when I double click it I get a Mac warning window opens that says "Can't be opened because it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store." When I go to the Mac App store and search for Adobe Flash Player, it doesn't exist there. How do I get it or is there another way to be able to watch video on the internet especially from sites like you tube and vimeo, but also sometimes on other sites. Do I have to keep the older version indefinitly and risk not getting security updates?

    System Preferences > Security & Privacy
    Unlock the lock, if you have to.
    Allow apps downloaded from:
    Select “Mac App store and identified developers”.
    Quit System Preferences and try.

It seems there is no Flash Player upgrade for my Powerbook 10.4.11 Can anyone help? I would appreciate it very much if you can send me some confirmed info to [email protected]
Thank you!

AS John says 10.1.102.64 is the latest PPC version, but...
The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a later version installed.

I can't install flash player upgrade

I am not the most computer literate person and have tried about 10 times now to install the latest flash player upgrade. It is driving me crazy! I need to go to a website to get a gift certificate for a birthday for tomorrow but I can't access it! What can I do? I can't get the Gizmo guys here before lunchtime tomorrow so any hints that are in the realm of the computer non- geek would be great. Many thanks

What is your web browser?

The upgrade was triggered by the following javascript in the page and there is rather old version of flash player installed.

As I traced the http transactions, the updater downloaded https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/update/current/install/inline/win/x64/in stall_all_win_ax.z. On one hand, the 7MB file is unable to be opened via most zip utilities. On the other hand, the file seems to be for x64 platform and os per the url but mine is Windows XP. Is it a bug of Adobe?

'Flash Player Upgrade Required' on facebook

For the past three weeks, I have been repeatedly instructed 'You must install the new Flash Player upgrade to view this content',
which i had hitherto viewed with no problems at all. I have since repeatedly tried to comply with this order but am repeatedly told
that my Mac 10.4 Power PC system does not support the upgrade. I have tried to install various other 'Adobe recommended'
versions of the Flash Player but none of them work ( having been 'installed successfully' ). Should i simply resign myself to never
again being able to view any videos on Facebook or would Adobe prefer that i install a new operating system which suits their
software upgrade ?

It's not what Adobe would prefer, but what Facebook wants. As regards the latter, Facebook is an advertising funded business from which they make a lot of money. See: Facebook Could Surpass $1 Billion in Revenue This Year
Companies which advertise on Facebook want; in fact demand that the products they want to display in Flash meet their expectations. Since Adobe also makes their money from selling licences for commercial use, they're keen to meet those expectations in order to ensure that businesses don't switch to another technology.
So I'm afraid to say that unless your system meets the Minimum System Requirements to display all those ads, then you're going to be left out in the cold.

I have a HP Pavillion all-in-one with AMD processor running Windows 8.1 64 bit. Flash Player 16.0.0.235 with all current drivers. I'm consistantly experiencing a green sceen on all Flash Player videos but I have sound.

On my Ipad I seem to be having a problem when trying to play YouTube videos embedded on Facebook.
When I click the links, I get a message saying: "Flash Player upgrade required."
and under it, it says, "You need to download and install the lastes version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content"
and also a green button saying "Get Flash Player"
I get this if using chrome or safari .
I can go direct to YouTube it just works.

The Facebook link to the video is accessing an Adobe Flash video. Unfortunately, no iOS devices can play flash.

Can't install Flash Player upgrade

Can't install Flash Player upgrade on Windows 7 system. Get it downloaded and get message "an exception Runtime error has occured in script". Message says "new instance of MS Script Editor". Try to debug and get message "can not create application folder"
What do I do?

Hello,
I've seen another report of the installer throwing a script error, however, I've been unable to reproduce. Can you please do the following to provide a log file for further troubleshooting:
Download the installer from get.adobe.com/flashplayer and save it to the desktop
Launch the command prompt, click the Start orb and in the search field, type: cmd.exe
When the command prompt utility launches, drag the installer from the desktop onto the command prompt window hit space key and type /debug
It should look similar to (the actual file name may differ): C:\Users\labuser\Desktop\install_flashplayer14x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe /debug
Note there IS a space between the file name and the / and there is NO space between / and debug
If there are spaces in the directory path, the command needs to be encapsulated in quotes, for example: "C:\Documents and Settings\labuser\Desktop\install_flashplayer14x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe" /debug
Click Enter to proceed
A file named host.develop.log will be saved to the same location the installer was saved toYou may notice the the online installer file is missing. This is because it deletes itself once executed, so it will no longer be saved locally.
Post the contents of the host.develop.log file here in your response, or share the file following the How to share a document instructions.
Thank you in advance.

Control Panel shows Flash Player icon but not listed in Programs and Features

Several sites such as Hulu.com and my university homework page keep telling me that I require Flash Player 10 or higher and to download and install before continuing. So when I try, this is the message I get: Flash Player is pre-installed with Internet Explorer in Windows 8. And then in the box below, it says: Flash Player is disabled. I've tried all of the steps to correct this issue, but nothing is working for me. Also the control panel shows the Flash Player icon, but when I go into the programs and features, Flash Player is not listed at all. What am I doing wrong??
OS WINDOWS 8 and IE 8

Hi,
Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x so you won't see a separate item in Programs and Features for Flash Player ActiveX (the version used by IE). If you install Flash Player Plug-in for non-IE browsers it'll create an entry in Programs and Features.
Since you didn't specify which troubleshooting steps you've taken, have you tried the ones listed here Flash Player Issues | Windows 8? Also, when you go to this page, Adobe - Flash Player do you see the Flash animation at the top of the page? If so, what version is detected as being installed in the 'Version Information' widget? The latest Flash Player version for IE is 15.0.0.167. If that's not the version listed, please run Windows Update to get the latest version of Internet Explorer or use the link at the bottom of the Flash Player Issues | Windows 8 page.
