Flash Player will not upgrade/install and work properly

I have been being promted to download the Flash Player on numerous websites before the application or game will actually play.
Each and every time I go through their link to upgrade to the correct version of Flash, it upgrades and installs properly, but when I re-launch the program I was trying to use I ge the SAME MESSAGE to download Flash Player again, and of course it still does not work.
Is this because I am using their free version of Flash Player and actually need to purchase another version to get these very small applications to run.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I can be reached at [email address removed]

  • Flash Player will not download. freezes and stops. Was previously on PC. Updates will not download.

    Anybody have a reason this is happening? Or I should say not happening?

    @dummergold
    I'm sorry, I really do not understand what your issue is.  Your first post indicates an issue with downloading the online installer, which requires an internet connection to download/install.  User andys75622553 provided a link to the offline installer, which does not require an internet connection to install.  You're response to andys75622553 is a bit confusing.  Please restate your issue in a clear manner, preferably as stated here Read Before Posting: How To Get A Useful Answer To Your Question

    Sorry to intrude and cause a second issue. I did read the 'Read Before Posting: How To Get A Useful Answer To Your Question'. and I ask to be dismissed from the trouble shooting with respect to my Windows 7 issue, as I will not be able to concentrate and other stuff. Please help Mike.
    I do find it interesting that you are running XP Mike, because I also run XP on this 'dial-up internet connected' computer that I type from at present - and interesting because I thought I had given up on Flash Player updates back last April when XP became obsolete - not that XP doesn't function, as I am still using it also, but that I could not update my Internet Explorer - so, I thought that because I could not update my Internet Explorer, that Flash Player was telling me that it couldn't update. And note that my statement could be warped by time, but something like that.
    Good luck

  • HELP! FLASH PLAYER WILL NOT FINISH INSTALLING! (OSX 10.6) - In DESPERATE need of help.

    I've tried 100 times to install the latest flash player, but it stops at 95% every time and never goes any farther. I've tried uninstalling, restarting, re-downloading the Flash Player, and repairing my disk permissions and NOTHING works! Because I uninstalled it, I now have NO flash player at all! Kind of panicking. I need it for things I use to make a living.What do I do?
    I have a Mac Pro 6 Core 6.33GB / 16GB of Ram

  • Adobe Flash Player will not run since installing Firefox 25.0 upgrade

    Windows 7 Home Premium X64.
    My question says it all. Within Firefox's own system it says the flash player is update and enabled. Any place I go today and want to play something the page posts "Get Adobe Flash Player". I upgraded to Firefox 25.0 just before I retired for the night. Today Flash Player will not work.
    Within Tools>Options>Content the option to turn java off and on is no longer there. I believe you folks have CREATED A BIG BUG!!!!!

    Your statement: "I missed that Firefox 25 turned on "click to play" as the default behavior for plugins. I assume you prefer to have Flash run automatically if you've approved the site in NoScript."
    I didn't read anything anywhere, nor was I aware of the fact that Firefox may have changed "my" plugin settings, or broken them. How many users do you think there might be that have NoScript set this way for one or more sites.
    I'm just saying it might have been nice to have been forewarned about this - obviously something that was KNOWN that the update was going to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Flash player will not install blank installer, full download? tool remove remnants of flash?

    Windows 7 64bit, Firefox,Explorer, Chrome
    For the longest time flash player will not install (updates for upgrades).
    If I go to the main page I can download the 1mb file then open it up and the installer box opens but never does anything and is just black except the top bar. I can't even close it out. I have to "end task" it. I has been going on for a year or so.  I usually have to find a link to the full installer version but can't find it anymore.
    Is there a tool to remove all remnants of Adobe flash player?
    Link to full installer version of player?
    I tried uninstalling all versions but still the same problem
    Thanks

    The installer works for the vast majority of people.  We serve up something like 1.2 billion installs every months, so a failure rate of even 0.0001 is > 100,000 people.  We're not seeing that kind of traffic about this issue.
    As the installer isn't dependent on Flash Player, and it doesn't leave anything around beyond a log file, it's unlikely that blowing Flash Player completely away would resolve anything, and it sounds like your efforts bear that out.  There's something underneath us that's not working right.  With Mac, it's usually corrupted NVRAM settings, but I'm not sure what it is on Windows.  My guess is that it's related to the graphics subsystem, but it's not something that I've seen happen under lab conditions, and we'd need to debug it to get a definitive answer.
    So, I have a couple suggestions in order of least to most effort:
    Switch to Google Chrome. 
    Flash Player is a built-in component, so there's nothing separate to download or maintain.  Updates happen automatically as part of the standard Chrome update process, so you never have to touch another Adobe installer if you don't want to.
    Scan your hard disk for errors, run the Windows system file checker, and make sure you have the latest graphics drivers for your system
    Check your hard disk for errors in Windows 7
    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
    Back up all of your stuff (ideally to both a disk and an online backup service for redundancy), wipe the machine and do a fresh install of Windows

  • Flash player will not work on my computer, would love advice

    I have windows vista.  When I visit a web page that requires flash, it instructs me to download it (even though I'm sure I have it ialready...).  I do so, it says it has downloaded successfully but I still cannot view the website.  I have uninstalled my current version of flash and reinstalled the latest version numerous times.  It even shows up in my list of programs.  But each time I visit a site that uses it, it tells me I need flash to view it.  Very frustrating.  And suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    This was very helpful - thank you.  I unchecked "active x filtering" and it seems to be working, under tools in IE.  a simple solution, that may have taken me days to figure out myself!  Hopefully it continues to work from thiis point forward.  Thanks!

  • Safari or flash player will not work now that I have downloaded mountain lion

    I just upgraded to mountain lion and now when I open chrome or safari it will shut down with in a few sec.  Also on firefox the flash player will not work.  I have downloaded the latest version and it still does not work

    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.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message.

  • "Flash Player" will not work on Android 4.0.3!

    I recently purchased  new Samsung tablet 2 (10.1) which operates on Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
    I have since found out that “Flash Player” will not work on Android 4.0.3
    (Ice Cream Sandwich) as adobe is no longer supporting android OS above 4.0
    This means I now have many “apps” that I can not us because they require
    “Flash” to operate!
    Can you assist with this problem?
    Is there a patch I can buy to allow flash to work on Android 4.0.3?

  • Flash Player will not install thinks it is already installed

    Win 7 64bit
    I can not open a PDF in the latest reader. It tells me flash needs to be installed. I go to the adobe site and flash player will not install stating it is already installed.  The active x widget says not player is installed.  It is not listed in managed add ons and is not listed in installed programs.
    How can I install the program?

    Some PDFs (with Rich Media Content) require the Flash Player plugin (NPAPI) to be installed.
    I do not quite understand what you have installed, and what not.  I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely using the uninstaller from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    then download and run both installers from
    Flash Player for Internet Exporer - ActiveX
    Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI

  • Flash Installer cannot download. "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed."

    Flash Installer cannot download. Finally get the message,  "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." I already uninstalled the old copy, now I have no Flash Player.

    My issue was identical.... days of frustrating downloads and initializing but no installation........ UNTIL I chose to not use the default installer and chose 'Save File'. Now I have the latest Flash installed in OS 10.8.5 no problems !!
    This time a long download of 16MB arrived in the downloads folder that actually worked.
    Prior to this, all downloads were around 1.6MB and there was no .dmg in the package.
    I got my download under where it says "Still having problems?"
    Hope this helps you.
    See the attached page for reference.

  • Flash Player could not be installed...

    For some reason when I try to update my flash player I get an error message after I finish installing it that says Flash player could not be installed because a previous version may still be in use. I have tryed uninstalling flash player but for some reason I still get that error and I am unable to update my flash player to 10.1. The version I have right now is 10.0 something but for some reason I can't uninstall the version I have and install the newest update? Any help, I could really use it. Thanks.

    Yes, I have run the uninstaller, but once I run the install for the 10.1 Flash Player, it says that it can't install because I still have a previous version in use.
    This is what I have in my Flash folder after I run the uninstall:
    FlashPlayerTrust (Folder)
    FlashInstall (Text File)
    install (Text File)
    NPSWF32.dll (Application Extention)
    Thanks.
