Flash player with windows 8

I recently purchased a computer with windows 8, I tried playing some games and it said my flash player was out of date and took me to the adobe website which said flashplayer is integrated into windows 8 so I do not need to update,there are a couple of troubleshooting tips to do in your tools,but they did not help. Anybody have this problem or a fix?

The message is right. Flash Player (for Internet Explorer at least) is integrated into the browser by Microsoft. Depending on how long your new PC was "on the shelf" there are probably updates that aren't installed. I got a new Toshiba laptop in June, and it was a "December" build, so my 6-month-old laptop is really a year now.
Flash Player for IE updates through Windows Update. The latest version is 11.9.900.152.
You can access the Flash Player Global Settings via the Control Panel>System and Security panel, which is also where to manually run Windows update, if you need to.
IE11 has had numerous problems with all sorts of sites, like Yahoo, Facebook, BBC, ESPN and more.
Microsoft's recommendation is to enable Compatibility view for these sites to "pretend" IE11 is another version that works still.
My recommendation is not to pretend you're using something else, but actually use something else. Firefox, Opera, Safari or Chrome would each be a better browser than IE.

Downloading and/or upgrading Flash Player with Windows 8.1 on EI

I have windows 8.1 and now receiving messages on EI to install Flash Player 11.1..
I tried several times and each time it goes around in circle and I get nowhere.
Please help...

This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

How to install Flash Player with Windows Vista 64 bit?

IE 9, Windows Vista 64-bit, Flash Player quit working and won't install. Error Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.55. I have deactivated User Accounts and Security, gone to Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash and Run as Administrator NPSWF32_FlashUtil, and still not working. One suggestion was to run an add-on from Macromedia, but that failed and I don't know what the add-on was. Have also run System Restore and restored all my Internet security setttigs to default. Nothing is working!

Problem downloading adobe flash player with windows 7 (64 bits)

i have a computer acer aspire M5810 working under windows seven (64 bits) but i can not install adobe flash player
i tried everything but no result
is there somewhone who can help me

Hi, You need to be sure to use the 32bit browser in Install Flash Player, as it is not supported yet for the 64bit. You can install FP in a 64bit operating system as you have, but use the 32bit browser which is the default.
Also are you trying to Install Flash Player vs 10.0.45.2 and if so did you run the Adobe Uninstaller first?
Thanks,

Installing Flash Player with Windows Vista Home Premium

Flash player with Windows 7 Fixed

Hey everyone. I am thourougly frusturated. For the past few days I have delt with nothing short of a night mare. Everytime I have attempted to load a website with flash included, i.e. youtube, facebook games, important stuff, my internet browser would crash. I attempted a few things, first i tried that one downloadable fix, didnt work for me. I tried uninstalling and installing over and over again. No dice. I then tried a system restore to a time when flash did effing work. That worked for about a day. then CRASH! But I found a way to fix whatever issue there is.
Here is what I did:
Uninstall Flash player through the uninstall programs screen Then,
Under the win7 startup search thing go to msconfig.
     Click the selective startup and clear the "Load startup items" box
     Go to the services tab and click the "hide all Microsoft services"
     Click "disable all"
     Finally, Click Ok and then Restart.
     Go to whatever browser you want to use and download flash player.
     Restart your internet browser and try some flash things like youtube
If this works then there is an issue between an application on your computer and flash, i think my issue is somewhere between Mcafee and flash.
     Go back to msconfig and selcte the services you want to enable again. If flash no longer works, go through one by one to find the one with the issue.
I hope this helps someone!

Hi Mck, I just looked at your thread to see what had been fixed. Now I am not speaking for anyone other than myself and thinking if I would do that. Not saying anything that you did was right or wrong, don't misunderstand. Just for me I would think it risky to disable all Microsoft services. Did you know that it wasn't?
Just trying to understand what you did. Is this similar to Safe Mode?
After disabling, then you had to know what to enable afterwards, right?
Your statement about an application issue between McAfee and Flash is most informative. It has come to my attention this past week that is definitely the issue. Even if you disable McAfee prior to Uninstalling/Installing, after each Reboot
and that is needed, McAfee automatically enables itself. Since McAfee is fully enabled and probably with a Firewall when you try to Install, it prevents it. Norton has a timer that one sets when trying to Uninstall/Install, so I guess one needs to be very fast or it too will automatically enable itself:-) Actually I've done considerable researching on McAfee and Norton in order to understand how their programs work. This is for the simple reason to help those here on the Flash Forum that have so many problems installing Flash Player if they use either one of those.
I have read on the Norton forum for example that even if one disables certain compoments using the icon in the system tray, other components continue to run in the background.
Whenever you have time to respond is fine, no rush. Glad you have FP working tho.

How to install and use Flash Player with Windows 7 64-bit edition and Internet Explorer 8.

1. Click the Start button.
2. Search for Internet Explorer.
3. Do not click on "Internet Explorer (64-bit)" or "Internet Explorer (No Add-ons).
4. Click on "Internet Explorer."
5. That will open Internet Explorer 8, 32-bit edition.
6. Now you can download, install, and use Flash Player. (It is used automatically on websites that support it.)
7. In the future, make sure you don't use Internet Explorer 64-bit edition. Delete any Internet Explorer shortcut icons that you were formally using. Make sure that any Internet Explorer icons that you now use, are opening the 32-bit edition. To see what edition you are using, click the question mark near the upper-right corner of a webpage and click "About Internet Explorer." If you don't see "64-bit" on the popup, that means you are using the 32-bit edition.

Look at all of the people that are having this issue. what needs to be done to get it working properly with IE?
196 people have viewed this thread. You do realize that nearly ten times that many have downloaded and installed it WITHOUT a problem in the time it takes me to type this response.
As to IE. It's garbage and has been since day one. People who use it exclusively are either too naive to realize what a pitiful excuse for software it is, or they've been successfully brainwashed by the R-tards in Redmond to believe that there isn't anything else.
ActiveX controls in IE were written in 1993, for dial-up connections on a 16 bit OS. HOW SAFE does that make you feel using IE in 2014?
Use Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome... ANYTHING but IE.

Cannot run adobe flash player on windows 8.1 pro with IE 11

this is very frustrating and I have research multiple Q&A on this forum with no resolution.
When I try to run adobe flash player I get the error:
Either Flash Player is disabled or ActiveX Filter is ON.
Please follow trouble shooting steps to play Flash content.
I have gone through the steps to attempt to resolve this as indicated on the adobe site and it is not resolved
Enable Flash Player
Disable ActiveX Filtering
Update Internet Explorer to get latest version of Flash Player
I have removed and re-added IE 11.
I have been trying to research this for days and have hit a dead end.
Any recommendations?

@paula1228,
I'm sorry you're encountering issues with Flash Player on Windows 8.1 with Internet Explorer 11. There is a new Flash Player update available today. The new update should be available from the link at the bottom of the Flash Player Issues | Windows 8 page. You can also run Windows Update from the Control Panel to obtain the latest update (KB2974008). If the latest update doesn't display, install all available updates and then check for updates again.
@NerdyWasabi,
Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x. Users cannot install Flash Player for Internet Explorer on their own. They must install the Internet Explorer Update for Flash Player to update Flash Player on Windows 8.x

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

MacOS Lion 10.7.1 Still issues with Flash Player Settings windows

Hi Everyone, and Adobe,
I have tried almost anything now, but it still doesn't work... I have a few workarounds but non really working
I'm only having this issues with my iMac not my MacBook Pro... how is that?
Using, MacOS Lion 10.7.2 with Flash Player version 11.0.1.152.
I'm still not able to invoke / click on the Flash Player Settings windows in the Browser (Safari) -- I can as described, workaround the Allow and Denied issue by using the System Preferences Flash settings… but I can not change cam setting, from Web CAM to my external Cam. !!
Is this ONLY me having these issues or ?? or wasn't the issue suppose to have been fixed in the latest version af Flash? or … is this issues only related to the Video Card within my iMac (ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB) ?
Some that someone, hopefully Adobe can help me here
hope for some greate feedback ...

This is a known issue with particular iMac machines having ATI Radeon HD cards. Currently, we found iMac 7/8 with ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro are the most common victim of this issue. We are working with both Apple and ATI to fix this problem. For now, we summarized some work arounds in below forum thread, hope it will be helpful to you!

How to upgrade Flash Player in Windows 8.1 Pro

I have windows 8.1 pro with IE 11 and the news video won't be able to play online. The error message is "Sorry, Clip not found...Media not found". It gives only an option to click 'OK' and the screen stays black. I am sure the video is OK, because I can run it on Windows 7.
I contacted Microsoft Support and they suggested I upgrade my flash player. My flash player version is 13.0.0.206 and the lasts is 13.0.0.214. I tried to upgrade and it says "Flash player is integrated in Windows 8" and no option to install it.
I also tried uninstall Flash player with Uninstall Flash Player tool but it did not uninstall Flash even though the message said 'uninstalled successfully'.
In brief, how do I correct 'Sorry, clip not found. Media not found' when I play online video? This is a news video, not movie or youtube and how do I upgrade Flash on Windows 8.1 with IE 11.
Thank You.

Hi Texan,
Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x systems and you can only update Flash Player for IE by updating Internet Explorer. Microsoft releases Internet Explorer updates whenever there is a Flash Player update (usually monthly). To update your version of Internet Explorer go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Windows Update > Check for Updates. Since you don't have the latest version of Flash Player, it should find the 'Security Update for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 8.1 (KB2957151)' released May 13, 2014. Alternatively, the URL for this specific download is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2957151.
If you also have other non-IE browsers, you can install/update Flash Player by going to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using the non-IE browser and the page will present you with the appropriate version for the OS and browser.
