Flash Player works for Administrator but not other users

I have Flash Player 10.2.153.1 installed and I am running Windows Vista 32-bit and Windows Internet Explorer 8. If I am logged in as the Administrator I have no problem watching video previews from the Odeon and other similar websites. However, if logged on a Standard user account Odeon film previews cannot be seen - all I get is a blank white viewing box with a small square box in the top left corner with the colours red, green and blue in it (it is too vague to make out what the logo is even when zoomed in). The inability to watch video clips for Standard users seems to be random as some sites work while others do not? Can anyone help solve this problem? Why do I have this problems for the standard user accounts on some websites but not at all for the Administrator account on any website ???

Experienced same problems: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/790415
Would very much appreciate a solution.

Flash player worked for months but now I have audio but no video / Windows 8 / Help

Flash player worked for months. But today suddenly the video part stopped working. So I have audio and a blank screen. This is across all applications: youtube, live streaming, etc.

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating system
Browser
Flash Player version - http://adobe.ly/wNzNAu
Web Page URL
Steps to reproduce
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows - http://adobe.ly/KShBWi
Mac - http://adobe.ly/16Odlzb
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

Flash player works on youtube but not yahoo homepage

Flash player works on youtube but when trying to watch video on yahoo homepage says need to download adobe flash player I have already uninstalled several times but still won't work please help

YouTube uses javascript to determine if Flash Player is installed and switches to HTML5 (MP4), which requires no plugin, if Flash Player isn't detected. Yahoo doesn't do that yet. Here's why this is important, especially if you're using IE11.
The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. 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. 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.

Flash Player works in Safari but not Internet Explorer 9

I've installed Flash Player 10.3 and it works in Safari but not Internet Explorer 9. When I look in Manage Add-Ins I see Flash Shockwave but not Flash Player. My operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate (32bit). Safari is 5.0.5 and IE 9 is 9.0.8112.16421. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Flash Player and uninstalling Norton 360. Nothing has worked so far. Can you help?

Thank you for your reply. Shockwave is loaded and enabled.
The files in flash directory are: a folder called FlashPlayerTrust: file, flash10q.ocx: file, FlashInstall.log; file, FlashUtil10q_ActiveX.dll; file, FlashUtil10q_ActiveX.exe, file, install.log.
There is no file: NPSWF32.dll.
When I test the browsers I get no spinning logo in either Safari or IE9. Safari says: missing plug-in, where I think the logo should be. IE-9 says nothing at the same location.
Thanks.

Not works means you get a blank screen as the webpage; works is when you have to allow Flash Player to run "outside of protected" mode several times to get the website to come up.
Try www.wzeconsulting.com on the three browsers to see what I mean. wzeconsulting.com is not some spam site, it is the site for a business in China that I work with.

ASAP!! Flash Player Works on Computer But Not Live. (Could Be Easy)

I need to present this site in a couple of hours and ran into this problem.
I just added a Flash button that works perfectly on every single page except my gallery.php. All the other pages are .html. On my computer I can see the button perfectly, but when I uploaded and viewed the file it tells me to update my player. Why would it not work live and does it have anything to do with it being a .php file? Here's a link that works, The "Primerica" button on the top right is the focal point.
Works:
http://shepardsuperteam.com/chris/inner_circle.html
Doesn't Work
http://shepardsuperteam.com/chris/gallery.php
It looks more presentable in IE7 than FF but I need to remedy this ASAP!!!

With an intermittent problem, whether a solution really works
needs to be tested extensively. Someone else reported being able to
play Flash in FF with Flash 9 installed, IF they also had Flash 8
installed. But in that case and in yours, was there sufficient
testing before the solution was reported? Check out this page with
FF (it's a page that tends to generate the problem with a high
frequency, but not always):
http://www.yoism.org/?q=node/52#jill
If repeated testing on that page doesn't crash your ability
to play Flash, then your solution may really work. What version of
Flash does Adobe say you have when you visit this page?:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507&sliceId=1
The other problem with IE is probably unrelated to this. Did
you reinstall Flash for IE? For IE, you have to run the exe program
with winax.exe in the name.

Flash player work with Safari, but not with Internet Explorer

My flash player had a problem so I uninstalled it. I had a problem downloading the player with Internet Explorer, so I successfully download it with Safari. The player works fine with Safari, but I cannot get it to work with Internet Explorer 8.
I used to have the Flash Player 10 Active X (10.1.85.3), which I had uninstalled.
I now have the Flash Player 10 Plugin (10.1.85/3)
The problem I had downloading the player with IE was that the "allow Active X" information bar never appeared and I was unable to see any download at all.
How do I get flash to work with my Internet Explorer 8 (8.0.7600.16385)?

This adobe web site worked easily for me, when I needed to install adobe flash JUST for IE8.
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
All you need to do is choose your OS in the top window, then in the bottom window choose "Adobe Flash Player 10.1 for Windows Internet Explorer", and voila, that is what adobe installs!! Give it a go. I had problems too, before I foud this. Diligent

Sites that use adobe flash player work on safari but not on firefox-it keeps asking me to download adobe flash player

Whenever I try to use a web site that needs Adobe Flash Player, Firefox asks me to download it. When I download it and try again, it still asks me to download. When I access the same web site using Safari, I have no problem. This is true for many web sites - whichever ones require Adobe Flash Player.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== several months ago

Carole,
You do not seem to have Adobe Flash (aka Shockwave Flash) installed. If you did you would see it listed under your plugins. Follow the instructions in the article below to install Flash in Firefox.
See: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+the+Flash+plugin
After the installation, check your version here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
or here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
Current version is: 10.1.53.64

Persistent problems with Flash. Works for IE but not for FF. I have uninstalled and re-installed Flash as directed (twice). FRUSTRATED!!!

I have carefully followed all the instructions provided on the FF and ADOBE sites. Can't keep searching in FF and then switching to IE to play Youtube videos or other FLash content.

Are you aware that a different version of Flash is needed for Firefox? <br />
IE uses the ActiveX version of Flash, while Firefox would use the Plugin version - if it was installed.
I don't see a Flash '''Plugin''' in your More System Details.
Maybe doing the reset of the plugins file - pluginreg.dat - file will help.
If not, check the control panel for the Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin version of Flash.

IMAP Working for some but not others

I am having the issue of imap working for some users and not others. I have for instance 2 users both accounts the same. One account I can link via imap the other I can not. Both have the same group memberships, both are in the same post office. Everyone has imap access I have no restictrions set. Any idea where I should begin to look. The message I am receiving on the account the can get in is: user does not exist.
Thanks

Player works in Admin but not in User

Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X installs, uninstalls, reinstalls and always works (for multiple, different websites with Flash presentations) in my Administrator User Account. But, I cannot get it to install and work in my Name User Account (which has Administrator priviledges). I've performed all of the recommendations in tn_19166, but have had no success.
In the foreground message box, I get the message "Failed to install. For troubleshooting...tn_19166".
In the background box, I get "Registering: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10c.ocx".
I'm running XP Pro and IE6.
I really need to get it installed and working in my Name User Account. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Flash Player should be initially installed using an Admin account. Once installed however, it should work for all users. If it does not function, then I suspect you're running into a file/folder/registry permission issue. This FAQ can help repair these problems:

SP2013 WF works for admin but not end-users

A simple SP2013 WF calls a SP2010 WF to send email, simple. Works for me (admin) but when a SP user edits an item on the list (which fires the WF), the WF gets to the 2010 call, and fails with this error...

Spent an hour on phone with M$ support, only to be told it's my fault and I have to re-design my WF...if my WF gets any simpler I'll have to use carrier pigeons to get messages to customers!
I've Googled the error message, results suggest that User Profile Syn is out of whack but M$ support swears up & down our sync is working fine.
Anyone?
Edit to add: we have a hosted implementation of SP2013, NOT on-prem

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that the SharePoint workflow 2013 does not work for end-users in your environment.
For your issue, it can be a permission for the user initiating the workflow. Please make sure site feature Workflows can use app permissions is activated. Go to Site actions > Site Settings >
Site features > Workflows can use app permissions. Make sure the user is one member of a SharePoint Group.
Also please provide more detail information about the error message to determine the exact cause of the error. You can have a look at the blog:

Email Alerts are working for some but not all users

If some users are getting the alerts and some not, it seems more likely that the issue is with your email server or email clients, not with your SW setup.
Have you checked SPAM / Junk folders on the server and on the clients?

We have alerts setup for multiple scenarios. All of our users are setup the same but not everyone is getting the alert. We are using the spiceworks mail servers and I have checked the Spiceworks App Notifications are set to Yes. Any ideas?

Flash 10 works in FF but not Safari, OS X 10.5

About a week ago flash stopped working in Safari and both firefox and safari started bugging me to install a newer version. Muttering, I went to the download page and downloaded the latest, which claims to be for Safari, Opera, and firefox.
Installation completes fine with no errors. Firefox works. But in Safari, I just get the usual 'no flash installed, would you like to download it?'
I've downloaded and installed multiple times, no dice. Plug-ins are enabled on Safari. I do not have settings folders to delete--/Library/Application Supprt/Adobe has no flash player folder, only Acrobat, Updater6, and Help.
This whole thing is a black box and I don't see what else to do. Installation completes and there's no way to verify anything. Any ideas would be welcome.

Thanks! BTW I'm also having trouble updating Adobe Reader. I have 9.4.0 and want to update to the new Adobe Reader X. I keep getting Error 1402 which refers to the registry keys. I am unable to completely uninstall the old version. After receiving the error message it reloades the older version. I read about how to modify the registry to accept it but I believe this is a very wierd way to have to get an update loaded. Any suggestions?

Subject: Flash Player works in IE8 but not Safari
Hi Bruce, Adobe Flash Player is Installed separately into IE, since Windows uses the ActiveX Control. Firefox and other non-IE
browsers must use the plugin Installer.
This is the Adobe site :

Hope that explains it.
