Flash Player works, sorta

My Flash player works correctly, but I intermittently get a
pop-up error box saying flash.ocx cannot be found. I cannot
actually find flash.ocx on my machine, but, as stated, flash
content is playing, so it must be there somewhere. I have tried to
un-install and re-install the flash player, but I still get the
error. Any ideas???
TIA

Hi,
Please provide more information like which version of Flash Player are you using?
What is the version of Firefox?

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.

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

I download adobe flash player for my macbook pro, but nothing that requires adobe flash player works

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.

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.

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:
Flash Player 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.

Help why won't flash player work??

I got a Nokia lumia for Christmas, its saying flash player is installed but it won't work. It says it may be disabled or something about ActiveX, but i don't know how to sort it out, Anyone able to help please?

login with the admin account and uninstall
then login with your normal account and install the latest
flash player, it's the newest on the flash player 9 package.. Don't
forget to close all browser windows before installing.
To be on the safe side, uninstall the flash player using this
package
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe
Be aware of this:
Note: Internet Explorer users may have to reboot to clear all
uninstalled Flash Player ActiveX control files. If you're not
certain, select the "Show Details" button in the Flash Player
uninstaller. If there are any log lines that begin with "Delete on
Reboot..." then you'll need to reboot BEFORE running the Flash
Player installer again.

Why does the flash player work on some website but not others??

I have the new flash player, and for the most part the player will work on some web sites. However I like to be on myspace and it says that I have to install the new version of the flash player. However I ALREADY have the new verison. There are other site that I go to as well and it tells me the same thing. what is going on and how can I fix it. I am at my wits ends right now and I dont know what to do. Can any one help me please

I had the same issue when I had created Flash Paper items. I had found the a solution on my opinion.
http://www.eolsoft.com/freeware/flash_movie_player/
you actually need a Flash Movie Player and not Flash Player. they are different. the only issue is that Adobe does not support this anymore.
so what I did is placed the EXE file of Flash Movie Player found on the link above on my server, made a note to my viewers that Flash Movie Player is required to view the documents.
I found this solutlion when my boss asked why he could not view any of the Flash Paper Documents

Flash Player Works for Some Users, Not Others

I have recently upgraded my home computers to Windows 7 (64 bit). My kids all have standard user accounts. I have installed Adobe Flash Player as an administrator. It works for me (administrator) and some of my kids (standard accounts) but not for all of my kids. As far as I can tell, the kids' accounts are identical, so I can't figure out why some of them can use Flash Player and some cannot on the same computers.
For the accounts where Flash Player does not work, we get a prompt to install the latest version (which, of course, is already installed). Even when I try to reinstall it (using my administrator password), the problem is not resolved. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player, with no success.
I use both Windows Parental Controls and Windows Family Safety for my kids' accounts. All four kids have the same settings. I tried turning these off temporarily to see if that would make a difference but it did not.
I am baffled. Help!

Hi, very confusing, I agree. Here is a link to a thread that the poster found success.http://forums.adobe.com/message/2476140#2476140 (BruceTR)

Hope this information helps you. IE7 and IE8 have more security and therefore use is restricted, i.e. Administrative and User classifications, etc.

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 ???
