Flash Player works only on some sites

Hey, ever since I've installed the new Flash 10.1 Flash has only worked on some sites. Good example is Youtube where it
works and then again on Zero Punctuation site it doesn't work. This only happens if my user account is standard user. If I switch it to Admin account (the rights, I don't switch to a different account totally) then Flash works on all sites. Why does Flash require Admin account on this computer to work properly with 10.1?
EDIT: Forgot to mention that Flash 10.1 works fine with Standard account on my laptop.'
2nd EDIT: Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 8 btw. Forgot to mention that too

Hey.
I'm basing this on currently loaded IE addons. My desktop has more running atm. I can list them: Java Plugin 2 SSV helper, Windows Media Player, XML DOM Document 6.0, Free Threaded XML DOM Document, XSL Template 6.0 and Windows Live Sign-In Helper alongside with Flash. Laptop has only Windows Live Sign-in Helper on with Flash. The java is disabled and rest are from Microsoft and are well, needed to display XML sites I guess
I have Microsoft Security Essentials with just Windows Firewall on both computers. And I just meant that probably some weird security setting in flash or IE since something, like I said, seems to be partially blocking flash from different domain. For example, I know that a site "istartedsomething" has a video that is linked from Youtube. It doesn't work in that site but everything works just fine in Youtube.
I thought of that too first, that the websites haven't managed to update, but for some reason they do work on my laptop which has same flash installed.
On sidenote, for example http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html does work on my laptop but doesn't work on this desktop while http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ works on both.
Whew, wall of text done

Flash player works on https web sites but not on http web sites ?

Flash player works on https web sites but not on http web sites ?
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
I test an other computer on my internet connection 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

Flash Player works only for Local Admins

Hi!
We have about 40 computers in our organisation with the same problem: Since few weeks the Adobe Flash Player (ActiveX) works only, when the user has administrative privileges. If a normal user wants to watch youtube-films or other flash objects, there will only appear a message that (a new) Adobe flash player must be installed to view the content (or so). It looks like there is no Adobe Flash player installed. But if the user is a local admin, everything works fine - on the same computer.
Under Software Adobe Flash Player is displayed as installed.
We have WinXP Professional SP2/SP3 32bit running on 4-year-old Maxdata computers. And few new computers (also WinXP Professional SP2/SP3 32bit)
Confusing: There are few computers where flash works for everyone! It seems, that especially the computers that are new don't have this problem.
I've tested everything: Using the MSI-file, using the EXE-file. Uninstalling the MSI, uninstalling the EXE. Using Version 14, 16 and now 26. Uninstalling everything by the offical Adobe flash player uninstaller. Installing the software as administrator, installing the software via GPO. I've deleted system32/macromed/flash. I've used Microsoft subinacl - with the offical adobe reset_fp10.cmd. I edited system32/macromed/flash so that everybody has write rights on this folder.
But nothing works. It's always the same: Videos in the IE are only shown for admins.
And now, I've no idea, what else I could do?!
Anyone else?
Greetings from Germany

Flash Player acting up on some sites

This time all videos play fine - until I get to sites like www.footytube.com, www.ukathletics.com or www.yahoo.com
All I get is a black rectangle without any input possibility. When right-clicking I get the usual Adobe Flash Player menu.
I've tried playing with the settings without any improvement. Any idea how I can localise the problem?
W7 64, FP 11, latest drivers, FireFox.

i download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works. i haven"t tried much, but only because i have no idea what to do.

After you've installed Flash Player (you have to mount the disk image by double-clicking and the double-click the insatller package) restart your browser and go to youTube, for example, -> http://www.youtube.com/ - and see if the videos play.
Call back if you need any further help.

Hi mearsfan42,
Login as the Admin
First download the uninstaller to your desktop from here

Before running this uninstaller be sure to read the
instruction and close all running programs.
Open the following folder C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
Run the uninstaller
What files are left in this folder?
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
If there are files left, delete the Flash folder.
download the latest Flash Player from here:

Unable to install Flash Player as "only a single version of this application can run"

I was having problems with Flash Player earlier today and decided to uninstall it (from Windows 7) and reinstall from scratch. I uninstalled it and tried reinstalling it but now I get the following message: Unable to install Flash Player as "only a single version of this application can run" I tried uninstalling I checked to see if there was still a programme to install but there is not. I checked my files in Windows and there are several files called Install_Flashplayer _16x32 .............. files. I presume they were created each time I attempted to install Flash Player. I thought of deleting the numerous Install FlashPlayer files but decided to seek help before taking this step.
Browser: Firefox 35.0.1
Windows 7 Home Premium
64bit OS

I have somehow managed to install Flash Player and it works. I deleted all the install files except one which did not want to be deleted, Then I started to install Flash Player until I got the message about conflicting applications. I then used Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open Task Manager, then closed all tasks except the Flash Player one. Flash Player finished installing. I then opened a TV Player in Firefox and was able to play a programme that required a Flash Player.
Why do I have to use Task Manager to close applications. I can't remember the last time I used it ut think it was about a year ago when my computer would not shut down.

Does flash player work

Does flash player work on Kindle fire HD?

Hi aaliyah.thurkettle1,
The latest Kindle Fire HD is not officially supported by Flash Player. Please see this page for a list of all certified devices:

That said, some users have been able to get Flash Player working on the Kindle Fire by using Dolphin, a third party browser.

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.
HTML5 video - http://bit.ly/ahzL63
Non-HTML5 video - http://bit.ly/cqNb3w
