Flash player wont run on windows 8.1

when i click on the app, or try to open a file ment for flash, a notification pops up saying " This application cant run on this PC"
i downloaded the 64-bit win 8 latest version, as thats what it recomended...

Hi,
I know it's a little late, but this is the solution to your issue:
go to Adobe Flash Player - Downloads and download one of the two "projector" items shown here:
Find the file that you downloaded (in Firefox you can click the little folder icon next to it):
move this file somewhere that makes sense so it is not in your main downloads folder.
I usually do something like "C:\bin\adobe\flash\debuggers"... it is a bit linux-ish but I like to organize my command-line and stand-alone tools under the c:\bin directory just to keep a tidy house so to speak...
right click on any swf and select "Open With":
Click more options and then "look for another app on this PC":
Browse to the location where you stored the standalone player:
select it and then click "open"
There you go, you will open the swf in the desktop with the standalone player:
And all swf files will now show a flash player icon!

  • Flash Player wont run!

    I have been trying for 2 weeks now to get this to work and am at my end.  I have tried everything that is suggested to troubleshoot this and I cant figure it out.  It started when I tried to play on a video poker web site.  I had played just the evening before and when I logged on it said that I needed to download the flash player  It shows that I have downloaded it but it doesnt install and run.  Help!

    Hello, follow sufferers:
    I decided to start a Case with Adobe Support.  I have not tried this yet, because I do not have another 2 hours to kill at the moment, but even if it ultimately doesn't work for me, it may work for you, so I'm posting the response anyway:
    Thank you for contacting Adobe Support. I am responding in reference to
    the Web Request posted on 14th October 2009 regarding, "Adobe Flash
    Player".
    As I understand that you are not able to watch videos and are getting
    the errors regarding the Flash Player. I understand your concern and
    assure you that we will both find a resolution for that together.
    [Awwwww, isn't that sweet?  So nice to be understood!  I suddenly feel so confident that we'll work together towards a resolution!! ~ HS]
    As you said that you have already tried to uninstall and then reinstall
    the Flash Player. Sometimes what happens is that after the uninstall
    some components are left in the system and when reinstalled it will
    create the same errors. So, I would suggest to follow the link given
    below and download and run the utility to remove the Flash Player and
    ActiveX control:
    http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_tn_14157_en-us
    Please download and run the utility for MAC. After you have done that
    please download and install the Flash Player 10 from the link given
    below:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP
    This should resolve all the issues you are facing, however, if doesn't
    get resolved, please follow the link below to troubleshoot the error:
    http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_tn_19166_en-us
    I hope this information is helpful and if in case you face any issues or
    need any clarification you can contact us we will be more than happy to
    help you.
    For future reference please use TS Case Number : 181226540 at Web

    It was nice interacting with you and your suggestion will certainly help
    Adobe grow in the future. [They really do care! ~HS]
    Warm Regards,
    Devendra Singh,

    Also, I received a response from Firefox, but the link to it is bad and it will take me awhile to find it.  Will report back later.

  • Adobe Flash Player wont work after all steps taken, what haven't I done to make it work?

    I tried to play a game I love & I got this message: "To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.0 or greater is installed" So I went to your site to update my flash player & hit the "Test Flash Player" button & it came up
    like this^^. I went to the suggestions your site provided & went to Manage add-ons to look for Shockwave Flash Object to enable it:
    You can see that it is enabled by this picture I have provided. So it also asks me to make sure that ActiveX isn't clicked on & so I did:
    As you can see it's turned off & I even tried it the other way where it has the spot checked & it still wont play. So I decided to see if I could reinstall it onto my computer & so in turn I got this message:
    That is the message I got even after trying to delete Flash Player & reinstalling it. Now you can see my frustration with all this. Adobe Flash Player wont work after all steps taken, what haven't I done to make it work? I have a Windows 8.1 Pro, I use Internet Explorer which has the latest version on it, which is Windows Explorer 11 Version: 11.0.9600.17498 & I was also under the understanding that I also had the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on this computer as well. Can someone tell me what to do??

    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:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • A sript in the movie is causing Flash player to run slowly....

    Hello, It seems as if every time that I play a game on the MSN website i get the floowing mesage and a few minutes playing, "a script in the movie is causing Adobe Flash Player to run slowly. if it continues to run your computer may become unresponsive". My os is Windows XP and I use Firefox as my browser. In the list of my current programs I have Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X and Adobe Flash Player 12 plug-in. Is there any way for me to repair the problem? I'm new to computer's and if anyone does answer my question pleae keep that in mind. Thanks

    im unsure what you mean, i have no idea about swf files, when this has happen i have had my browser open ( explorer) with several sites or even just one,can u give me more infrmation and is there a way to fix this problem, its impossible to do anything without waiting forever for the spinning wheel to stop and then freezing, which i have to restart my computer, most times, i have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, with no luck.
    thanks again

  • Receive error: "A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player to run slowly..." Firefox problem? Adobe problem? Malware?

    While browsing a variety of site, while running no movies at all, I receive the following message:"A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?" I click "ok", error message disappears. minutes later, error message re-appears.
    I've removed Adobe Flash, cleaned registry, rebooted, all to no avail.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
    *disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
    *disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
    *disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • How do i set up flash player to run only the audio files

    How do I set up the flash player to run only audio files?  Every time i set up I tunes to work,, the flash player takes over all files that it wants and I cannont see my files for work.  I want it to only auto run audio files and not my GIF's, & TIFF files.

    Well I had a terrible brain burp!,, I ment to say Quick Time.  In my business I have to go back at times and view TIFF files.  Every since I installed ITunes on my new computer...  Quick Time opens the files where MS Photo Viewer used to, and I can only see page 1 in Quick Time.  This is a problem for me as the only way I can view my TIFF files is to save them to my desk top and then open them in MS Photo Viewer.  Then I have to delete them after viewing..  I view files several times a day and this extra step has become a very larg pain in the fanny.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Some "movies' are actually Flash files.
    This means the Flash App will play them (possibly in a browser in some cases).
    Depending where this item is and how it is playing it may be effected by other things
    A web page can include javascript.
    Apple uses javascript here to help with creating the posting box, the Edit options, Adding pics/smilies and the like.
    Sometimes the javascript can be what is called a runaway process and gets sort of stuck in an endless loop.
    If it is a free standing item then it might be triggered by AppleScript on the Mac. (or be modified in some way)
    Again if the Script (normally written with a upper case S) is not perfect it can cause problems.

    flash player wont work

    Hi
    look at Safari-Help-Installed Plug-ins - does the flash plug-in show up there? just once? - could you copy/post the entry(s) for flash & shockwave here?.
    Also look at your console & system logs after quitting/restarting safari & attempting to view those problem webpages - occasionally there's an entry there that helps identify the difficulty. If there is something - you might find this thread useful - esp the bit about rolling back QT
    Finally ( for now ); even on single -user machines some people have found that /home/library/internet plug-ins/ folder has plug-ins inside it. Yours may well be empty, but if not - move the files somewhere else for now & quit/restart safari.
