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:

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

Flash Player Not Working after many reinstalls, reboots, et cetera.

Hey everyone.
Here's the required info as per the guidelines before I get too into the background of the problem:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (SP 1)
Web Browser: Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.17633 (Please note this is not typically my default browser. I usually use Chrome, and Firefox is somewhere on the machine).
Flash Version: 16.0.0.305 (Although this also happens with the beta 17 version).
I tried to get help with this on the skype forums as this was primarily a skype-centric problem at first, but it has quickly turned into a problem with my flash player on internet explorer. Skype apparently relies on IE and specifically IE's flash player, which I cannot recall using ever on this machine. Any website visited in IE that has flash content somewhere on the page will freeze with either a blank white screen, perpetually load with only one or two non-flash elements on the page (such as a big black bar at the top on the adobe flash help page: Flash Player Help.)
The ultimate goal of this troubleshooting is to get IE's flash working again so that Skype will begin working again.
I have uninstalled, reinstalled, and rebooted countless times. I uninstalled IE and reinstalled it from the ground up, I have done so many things to try and diagnose this problem, but I just can't understand what it is. My flash works fine in Chrome, which is separate from IE due to the flash player in IE needing ActiveX, from what I understand.
I can provide any additional information on request, and I will also link to the skype support thread so as to not require you to go through another troubleshooting step that they didn't already have me go through: Skype Fails to Send Messages, Update Status, Numer... - Skype Community
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Flash player stops working after a few days.

I'm recently having issues with flash player on IE and Firefox each time a new version is released. This time the flash player stops working after a few days without any reasons. I have asked two other questions and I have tried the solutions but this time they are not working:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4617987#4617987
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4548211#4548211
Could anyone tell me what the reason is?
I also need links providing Flash player for IE and Firefox which are always updated. I need to first download the installer then install it offline not install it directly from adobe website.
Please help me solve this once forever!

My flash player stops working after a reboot.

My flash player stops working after a reboot. i have flash 12.0.044 installed on a dell laptop with windows 7. The flash works fine until the next day when I restart my computer. If I go to control panel / programs and features I notice that the program is still there but the icon has turned blank. If I re-install it works fine until the next reboot. I have asked the IT services company we work with and they have completely ‘rebuild’ my computer. (Installed new windows etc etc) and still the problem won’t go away. I am at a loss. Who can help? Thank you so much in advance. Duncan

Flash player not working after doing the update

I got an update on facebook saying that I needed to update my flash player. so I did, and now it keep saying that I need to update when It already shows that it is the updated version. now I cannot do anything that involves using flash, no facebook or online games or utube. please anyone if you can help me figure this out.

Recently, my games on Facebook and Youtube stopped working and prompted me to upgrade my flash player.
It included the link to Adobe, as do all the sites that require it.
So, I did. It says install successful, but it is not.
I use Safari on a Mac 10.5.8.
The flash player is still working on FireFox.
I tried many things so far and it is still down on Safari.
I tried upgrading from the internet.
I tried rebooting a flash player from my Creative Suite 4... that actually told me my disc 2 was blank during install!
I uninstalled flash player and reinstalled many times. No go.
I uninstalled my Flash program and nearly lost it!!
It would not reinstall from my CS4 discs.
A friend helped me and I am pretty sure the Flash maker is up again. I see the icons are back in place in the applications folder, but i did not try running it yet.
He thought the flash player was working again when he returned my computer, but it is still not working in Safari.
I tried downloading and reinstalling the flash player again from Adobe, yes..the correct version for Intel based Mac.
He ran first aid repair a few times.
There was a lot of things that got fixed.
I am in need of more help.
anyone figure this out?
please!

Flash player not working after upgrade

I recently upgarded flash player on my mac os 10.6.8. Safari 5.1.10 After the upgrade videos will not play. Is there a way to get older versions of flash player?

Flash Player 12 works just fine with Snow Leopard. I have it on my server machine. No problems at all in Safari, Opera, Firefox.
Give it a "clean install" to make sure you've gotten the old plug-ins out and that the new ones are "allowed" by Safari.

Adobe flash player wont work and wont reinstall can anyone help?

my adobe flash player quit working i uninstalled it and redown loaded it. several times but i keep getting this message [ blocked plug in ] what can be done?

First update to 10.6.8.
Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
On March 1 Apple again blocked Flash Player for Lion and Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5660
The Adobe Flash patch can be found on Adobe’s website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent version.
You should uninstall any previous version first, and repair permissions after installing the new version.

Flash player wont work

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.

HT5655 Adobe Flash Player not working after installing

I've just bought a brand new macbook pro and have tried to download adobe flash many many times and it just won't work. It tells me that I need adobe Flash player so I click the link, which takes me to the adobe website, I then download it, follow all the prompts and installation is complete. But then I go back and the message appears again that I need adobe flash player!!! I am about to tear my hair out, please help!

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. In rare cases, you might have to log out or reboot to force a Flash update to be recognized. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 6. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 3
If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 4
Open this folder as in Step 3:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 5
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 6
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 7
Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
Step 8
In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

Flash player not working after recent software update

I have a MAC OSX 10.5.8, after the recent software update my flash player no longer works.
I have read that there is a problem with security for the version of flash that I was using and this is the reason it was disabled. However, I have tried to download the most recent version from the Adobe website, but nothing happens and a message says I already have flash installed on my computer.
I have a version of flash in my HD>>Library>>Internet plug-ins, and there is also one in HD>>Library>>Internet plug-ins (Disabled) which I have tried to move but it only lets you copy it and it seems unable to be moved back to HD>>Library>>Plug-ins
I have also tried to download the "No Script" addon for Firefox so that I can at least have flash working in Firefox, but that doesn't seem to be downloading either.
Please could somebody help me. I cannot now watch videos, listen to my favourite radio stations or even upload pics to ebay to create ebay listings. This problem ruining my internet enjoyment and I just hope that it can be fixed again. How dare Apple just do this without any warning or giving any info on how to easily fix this problem once flash has been disabled.
I am not a techie so maybe there is an easy fix, but I have spent hours trying a lot of different things but nothing seems to be working.

Please, nobody waste any time replying to this issue as the problem appears to be fixed now. I rarely restart my laptop as I usually just put it to sleep, however, I restarted it and the problem looks to have gone away. I may have fixed it with some of the things I tried, but the laptop may just have needed restarting - I'm not sure.
But as long as the problem is resolved, I'm happy. :-)))
Thanks anyway!

Please not i am not gettting any flash player addon options in my IE but i get the add on option in my Firefox which shows enabled. But still I have a doubt - what exact name of add on would be in FF. even in google chromes its not working. It says it has inbuilt Flash player.
Please help me to rectify it. My research project is getting pending with this issue. Please help me to rectify it as soon as possible. Please.

I am using Windows 7 - 32 bit. and the IE - 32bit.
I have tried all the uninstalling and installing procedure. But it did not work for me.
In my first post I had told that i was not getting any Addon in my IE. then i figured out when i click show all add-ons, then i see a shock player addon in my IE of the lastest verion 10.2. So please negelct that fact . I have an addon too in my IE 9

1. Movie not loaded....
2. About Adobe Plash Player 10.2.152.26...
Even when i open the youtube. the video portions are blank. n when i right click on it shows the above same 2 options.
Kill-bit - when i checked it, i had a Compatible flag - but its values where all zeros. Still i deleted it. (So i do not think that was an issue)

Flash Player not working after downloading new version

I downloaded Flash Player 10 and it does not work.I am using Windows XP and Internet Explorer. I have tried the trouble shooting. I have made sure its enabled under Active X and it does not work at all now. I have tried to download Flash Player 9 and now that will not download. I regularly use site that require Flash and I am shut down until I can figure out what is wrong. Please help.

I have the same issue after I was prompted yesterday to upgrade my Flash player. With the new version, 2/3 of Flash pages do not work. But 1/3 do work !
Example of page that does not work with new version of Flash :
http://www.youtube.com/ (the whole site)
http://www.adobe.com/fr/products/flashplayer/ (Adobe's official Flash page !)
Example of page that does work with new version of Flash :
http://www.voleursdechevaux.be/page_flash.html
On first glance, I would say that Flash loaded through JavaScript fails. Only Flash embedded through HTML works. But I am not competent enough to discover why.
Here is my current configuration (the version test at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html works well) :
Player Version : WIN 10.0.22.87
Debug Player : no
Operating System : Vista
Browser : Internet Explorer 8
Locale : French

Flash player wont work after many tries of doing a few things to fix it.
