Flash player works on my windows 8 screen, but not desktop

All of a sudden, my flash player has stopped working on my desktop but continues to work on my windows 8 start screen. I've tried managing my add-ons and downloading flash player again but it won't let me because it is meant to be embedded in windows 8 anyway.

I'm assuming you are using Internet Explorer in Desktop mode, is that correct? If so, does Flash Player appear to load when you go to this page?
Flash Player Version
If so, what version is displayed?

I've tryed a lot of things to solve this problem but impossible to find the solution.
- re-instal flash player
- disable the firewall (windows)
- disable the firewall and the antivirus (bitdefender)
I test my computer on an other internet provider and everything works correctly

The problem comes from my computer on my internet connection.
I'll appreciate a solution.
Thank you.

This is what you should see under "plugins" in Opera:
Make sure Flash Player is listed and enabled.
It comes from the same place as the plug-in for Firefox, so one won't work if the other doesn't.
If that doesn't work, try a clean install. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4041846

You Tube requires Flash update. Worked for laptop Windows 7 but not PC Windows Vista. Can you help?

You Tube said I needed latest Adobe Flash Player, so uninstalled old version and reinstalled latest version 11.6.602.171 on PC running Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 32-bit OS. My system says it's there, but it still won't work on You Tube - still get same message saying Ineed latest version.
Had same message on my Laptop running Windows 7 and it updated and works fine. I use Internet Explorer 9.
Detailed Problem Description: Problem with downloading latest Adobe Flash update and viewing YouTube. On PC running Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 32-bit OS, You Tube home page red banner at top said I needed to install latest Adobe Flash Player but even after installing, it does not work and will not play most videos in browser and shows black screen with message still asking to download latest version. Seems to be rather random as to which videos it will play and which ones it won't, although there may be some common link (see examples below). I thought it might have been HTML5 problem but I have successfully played HTML5 and Non-HTML videos through Adobe test site (Adobe Flash Player Help/Video Playback Issues) as well as Stage Videos. (Note: Had same You Tube messages when viewing on Laptop running Windows 7 but that updated without problem.)
Ran Adobe Uninstall. Closed all other programs before reinstalling direct from Adobe (rather than You Tube link). No change.
Ran all Adobe troubleshooting suggestions listed at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_.
Removed browsing data and deleted cache, checked that Internet Tools\Safety\Active X filtering was disabled (but in Internet Option\Security, Active X controls are enabled), disabled Hardware Acceleration, restarted computer but no change to You Tube viewing. Re-enabled, but no change. (WOULD LOVE ADVICE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE IF I SHOULD KEEP THIS ENABLED OR DISABLED.)
I have updated graphics drivers for NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT- although had to do manually as NVIDIA auto system scan said "could not detect your GPU". Noted they said Windows Vista supports up to Direct X 10, but my system is running Direct X 11. Had optional update message for "nVidia Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM 1.2, other Hardware NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT" on both PC & laptop. Laptop downloaded fine. Tried to download on PC but was not successful. Error Code 80070103, possibly because system had already been updated? Current driver version 9.18.13.1407 - "Windows has determined that your current driver software is up to date".
Running Norton 360 but it did not block or indicate any problems with Flash Player download.

Dear Chris,
Thanks for reply. I ran the recommened Adobe uninstall program so assumed it deleted whatever it should have, before installing new version. When it didn't work I followed instructions in Flash Player help page (screen shot below) which said to delete the Roaming App Data/Macromedia/Flash folder and Roaming App Data/Adobe/Flash folder, which I did.
Below are screen shots of C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash files as they currently stand. I have a fuzzy recollection that it was deleted at some point because I think I went searching for it during one troubleshooting session and it couldn't be found (but maybe I'm geting confused with the App Date folders?). Anyway I presume these current files are all post-reinstallation as the dates are all 5 or 6 March (did them before and after midnight). I'm on Australian time - not sure where you are. However, notice install.log date is 21/05/2010 and Flash Player Trust sub-folder is dated 6/09/2008.
When I right click on the screen of both videos that will and won't play, I just get a list of options starting at "Copy video URL" down to "About HTML5". So not sure what you mean when you say "For the videos that do play, when you right click on them what version of Flash Player is reported at the bottom of the context menu?" as I can't see any info like this. Do I click somewhere else?
If you are able to get the info you are after yourself, two videos that will work are:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLKlTN1JN7w and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGbrFmPBV0Y
Also, with hardware acceleration enabling or disabling, the only place I can find to do this is through the Adobe Flash Help page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_
and right clicking on the Flash Player info box, going into Settings and checking or unchecking the Enable box. Do you know if there is another setting in my actual computer where I can do this and or there's some other setting I need to change? There doesn't seem to be anything similar when I go through Conrol Panel - Flash Player.
5. Delete all Flash Player browsing data
a.. Click Start > Control Panel.
b.. Double-click Flash Player.
c.. In the Flash Player Setting Manager, click Advanced.
d.. Under Browsing Data and Settings, click Delete All.
6. Remove Flash Player cache
a.. On your computer, select Start > Run. (On Windows 7, click Start and type in Search Programs and Files.)
b.. Type %appdata%\Adobe and click OK.
c.. Delete the Flash Player folder.
d.. Repeat step 1 and type %appdata%\Macromedia.
e.. Delete the Flash Player folder.

Installed the latest flash player version for safari on mac but not working

I have installed the latest version of flash player as prompted by facebook. when i go to use it, facebook keeps telling me to install the new update. Please help. I am running Safari version 6.0.5. I have run the install a couple of times, it says installation is complete. But Facebook keeps prompting me to upgrade. I have installed, shutdown the computer and restarted but yet I still get this message.

Tested with FF6 beta. MouseCursors do show again

Flash player 12 is installed on win7, but not recognized by IE9 or Firefox26 as a plug-in

I have several windows 7 pcs that have Flash 12 installed (can see them in list of programs in control panel). Flash was working fine until last version 11. Now even though Windows shows Flash 12 as installed, IR9 and Firefox 26 don't see it. I don't see a Shockwave Player add-on to enable or disable in either browser. When I go to the Adobe test flash web page, it shows that flash is not installed, but recognizes my browser and OS fine. I updated my display drivers per forum suggestions but of course not helpful in this case. I used an MSI installer from Adobe to try to rule out permissions as a problem, but same issue.
I went through all the help documentation already available, but don't pretain to my situation since I am not getting any error messages. What makes it even crazier is that a few of the machines on my network have Flash working just fine. They are identical in hardware and software as the ones with Flash not working. I am at a dead end. Any new suggestions would be appreciated.

What you see in the Control Panel is the "Global Settings Manager" which can and does remain even if the Flash Player isn't working or is partially removed. Where you need to look for the Flash Player is C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash (on 64 bit systems).
Unfortunately I don't deal with MSI or network installs, but I'll pass this along to another member who has experience with them, and get you a good working link for both installers.

Flash Movie Works in Preview (Ctrl+enter) but not in Published

Hi All-
I hope somebody on here can help me out. I'm not sure what else to try. I have a flash project that I have been working on for a while, today its stopped functioning properly. To be clear. It still runs JUST FINE when I preview it (CTRL+ENTER), but when I publish the file and run the SWF file, or the HTML file the movie no longer functions properly. Specifically any ActionScript from the main timeline seems to no longer be functioning. ActionScript contained within movie clips continues to function properly, but nothing else.... .
There is about 400 lines of code right now (variables, functions etc.) but if there is some where specific that I could provide I'm more then happy to. Thanks for your time and help.
Regards,
Nathan

No, its in the same directory that it was before....
I am not sure exactly where the problem is, but I am fairly sure that it has something to do with the flash player installed on my computer + the flash player installed by CS4....
The SWF file runs properly when I host it on a site, but locally there is some type of conflict that causes all kinds of problems...
If it helps:
Windows 7 ultimate 64
Flash CS4
Flash Player 10.0.32.18
If there is more info I can provide that can help you identify the problem please let me know, its rather frustrating.
Cheers
EDIT: For the record I have tried uninstalling the "player" and reinstalling but as of right now I continue to have problems.

Flash Player 11 Supports Win 7 64, but not Vista 64?

I use Windows Vista 64-bit, and I've been enjoying using the beta versions, and release candidate, of Flash Player 11. I've been using the 64-bit ActiveX version, and it has worked excellently with IE9 64-bit. When I found out that Flash Player 11 was finally released, I quickly went to the download page to download it. When I got there, and noticed that Vista 64 is not supported, I was very disappointed. Why would Adobe do this, when the pre-release versions work perfectly fine with Vista 64?

Most likely a missing file or wrong pathing to Flash assets.
If ANY of the Flash assets are in a different folder than the html web page, a common mistake is to not correctly path them in the .swf.
For test purposes, what is the direct download url for the .flv.... not the .swf but the actual .flv file?
A review of pathing issues:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

Drivers Work Perfectly in Windows 8 but NOT in Windows 8.1

Due to several reasons, most of which pertain to Windows Store app compatibility, I want to upgrade to Windows 8.1. However, I tested the preview beforehand to make sure everything driver-wise was compatible... Everything is fine, except for my Atheros
AR9285 wifi adapter. For reasons a bit to complicated to explain in this paragraph, I am using the Windows XP driver for this adapter. Please don't say the driver is too old, and that's why it's not working, because I am well versed in drivers and versioning.
BTW, this driver works perfectly in Windows 8. Just NOT in Windows 8.1. Any help would be appreciated as I am currently ripping my hair out.

yes, I think also found that

Flash app works in FF and Opera but not in IE

Good day all,
I am not a flash fundie, but i am part of a project which has
run into a snag and i have been left to do research what is causing
the snag.
The testing browsers we used:
FireFox 3.0.5 (used in linux and windows) with Shockwave
Player 10.0 r15
Internet Explorer v6.x as well as v7.0.5730.13 (windows only)
Opera v9.63 (linux version)
We are building an online fixed odds poker game for a client.
Front end is flash and actionscript (v3) with the backend being a
combination of php and c++.
The issue:
When playing the game in Firefox (both in linux and windows)
one can play a game from preflop to flop to turn and to river. And
when you shuffle the deck each player gets new cards and each of
the mentioned stages has new cards, thus a new game. Note that the
game does work correctly in opera as well.
But when playing it in IE in windows we find that the first
game you play repeats; over and over again. As long as you place
your bets in the same order each time the same game will repeat
never ending. Change the order of your bets and the game throws a
developed communications error. Then you restart the game, you now
get whole new set of cards but when you reshuffle the deck at the
end of the game you get exactly the same cards again, and then if
you keep the order of the betting the same you will find that the
game repeats non-stop.
We have cleared the cache of IE, we have "cleared the cache"
of EVERYTHING! :P But still the issue persists in IE in windows.
The issue occurs on both the versions described earlier and occurs
on three separate PC's of which two are in our offices and one is a
home pc.
My experience in flash and action script is zero (i am a
php/JS/mysql programmer) but we have little resources and i am
standing in for the flash person who cannot get an opportunity to
to research this matter.
Any questions you have, feel free to ask. Any remarks or
feedback or opinion you may have feel free to give it with as much
technical details as you prefer. I will pass all details i receive
on to the Flash developer.
Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

How are you getting the data for the dealt cards?
If it is thru some external data source, using a url to call
it in, you can try adding ?nocache= XX
where XX is a randomly generated number (so it isn't the same
all the time) The significance of using nocache as a variable name
is probably none... meaning it could probably be called
anything.

IPod Shuffle works on one Windows computer, but not another

My shuffle shows a full list of songs from my music library in the contents window. However, when I restore it, it still shows the same list in the contents window. When I try to play the shuffle, I get flashing green and amber lights.
I can restore the shuffle and add songs to it on another computer and it plays properly, but then when I go back to the original computer, it still shows the full list in contents, not just the couple of songs that should be there.
I can't seem to be able to restore it from my original computer either. I run the restore, but the same list shows in contents. I have also tried selecting all songs and deleting them and then restoring, but no luck.
Is there some sort of conflict going on? The original computer is a network computer. Does that have anything to do with it? Both computers have the same version of iPod and iTunes installed.

Johnston,
Try creating a numerical indicator (or cluster indicator, etc.) on the front panel of your program of the data being fed to the graph. This will allow you to see the numerical values being fed to the graph itself while the program is running. Let us know what you find.

Airport Works in Parallels (Windows XP) but not in OS10.4.9

I'm using a Macbook Pro Core2Duo that is only a couple weeks old.
I can connect to my home network, but I am unable to use firefox OR safari to pull up any webpages. I am able to use firefox and IE in parallels (Windows XP).
Using firefox in OSX it tries to connect for a couple minutes before it gives me the network problems error page.
This didn't happen until I tried to connect to a college network at one of my friends campuses. I had changed the network connections to use a .pac file to set up the proxy in firefox. But, I have since changed it back to both "directly connect to internet" and "automatically figure out proxy settings".
Does anyone have any ideas?

It is necessary to look in properties of connection: the network address is received by DHCP server or not.
If the address is present, it is possible to try to transfer network settings Connection/Support(gateway and DNS) from Parallels XP to settings in Airport/TCPIP.

My flash drive works on a Mac mini, but not on a MacBook Pro. How do I get it to work?

Also, when I plug my phone into the computer using the USB drive, the computer does not recognize it. I have not tried my phone on the Mac Mini. They have both worked before on my MBP. What's the problem?

It may just not be configured to SHOW.
1. Finder>Preferences.
2. MISSING FROM DESKTOP: Make sure under "General" for "Show these devices on the desktop" that you have a CHECK mark under "hard disks" as well as "external disks" (if you have a dash that indicates specific items are set to hide and others are not)
3. MISSING FROM SIDEBAR: Check the same items under the "Sidebar" section if you are missing them from the Sidebar of Finder.
