Flash won't download into IE - fine w/Firefox

I'm very frustrated by not being able to download and install
the latest version of Flash Web Player when using IE
(6.0.2900.2180, sp2), Windows XP Pro. The current version of Flash,
from IE, is 7,0,19,0). I have admin rights, no pop-up-blocker
indicator appears, but ... no Flash update either. I've closed IE,
rebooted, shut off Norton Internet Security, etc. No help.
When I use Firefox, I've got the latest version of the Flash
Player. Unfortunately, only IE can be used to access a client's
files - so I'm stuck.
Any advice?
TIA!

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

  • Adobe flash won't download without my first closing firefox, which defeats the objective of trying to upload it to work with firefox - why?

    I can open BBC in Firefox and then when I try to play a programme it won't let me do so without Adobe Flash 11, which I already have in my programmes. However, it doens't agree so I need to download this programme but it won't let me complete the process, saying it can only do so if I close FireFox, which also means I can't completely the process!
    Earlier I have uploaded Google Chrome so I can install this programme (hence why I know I have the latest version). I have also tried to do this with Explore but it appears that there is an adware browser there called Snap.do, which arrived via Skype impersonating a new video download. I have done everything possible to clear it but suspect this is causing the system problems but it is still showing up.
    However, I did keep getting a message about Shock wave flash earlier and found an instruction on the internet that I should disable this and also Java. I've now reuploaded the latter. But I cannot find the Mozilla support that gave me the option to disable Flash player so as to try enabling it.
    PLEASE HELP! My computer is going crazy and I am too.
    Much appreciated.

    If you can't enter the passcode then you have to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes. For ecovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Note that this requires using the sleep/wake button.  If you are not successful then there is nothing else that I know you can do.

  • Flash won't download videos on Vista

    Ok, here's my deal... unlike a lot of other people (seemingly) I CAN download flash on my 32-bit widows vista home premium programmed computer.  However, whenever there's a flash video posted on the net somewhere, it doesn't show up... there's just a blank spot.  I right click and get "Movie Not Loaded/About Adobe flash player 10/ Download this video to RealPlayer".
    Can someone PLEASE help me with this.  I've tried a million different things, including running flash as administrator.  Nothing is working and it seems that 90% of the web has gone to flash.
    Thanks!

    No one can help me????

  • Exe file won't download when trying to install firefox

    I'm trying to install firefox on a windows 7 laptop and the .exe file won't download. Whenever I click the link it says: failed - network error. I've tried rebooting and downloading form other sites and get similar issues. Any ideas on what's causing this?

    The full setup. The exe file did work at times yesterday but as I said above it kept saying the download was interrupted after it had been downloading for about 20 minutes. I tried again today and the exe file won't open or download again.

  • Adobe Flash won't install into Firefox.

    I've tried to install Adobe Flash Player numerous times. I go to their web site and download the installer. I then run it as an administrator and it says that it installed fine. However, when I get into Firefox V30.0 and go to Add-Ins Manager, it's not listed. I've tried uninstalling the add-in from "Add and Remove Programs" from Control Panel and install it again. I've tried uninstalling Firefox and downloading a new copy and then installing Adobe Flash Player again. I've re-booted my computer numerous times. Nothing works.

    Did you use this link?
    The link for Flash Player is: '''http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/'''

  • My Sandisk 8gb card won't download into my MacBook pro. It was working perfectly 24hrs ago. Any ideas out there?

    How can this be? As I have changed nothing in my mac. It's so frustrating, can anyone suggest what to do?

    I have already copied my photographs to the a library manager but when I tried to reuse iphoto and import the photos back into iphoto, it would not let me.
    You can't "copy" your photos to the "library manager", there is just no way to any such thing.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Library book won't download into Adobe!!!

    I have a Nook color and work with windows vista.  I have gone through and authorized the Adobe Digital Editions and it worked just fine for the first couple of books and then it just stopped.  When I click to download a PDF or EPUB book from my library it opens the Adobe like it's going to load and then nothing happens.  I have tried un-installing the program and re-installing with no success.  I'm at a loss at this point and the library has given me no answers as to the problem.  Any ideas anyone?????

    One note to add here....
    If you open the document with ADE, you have the option of saving it when
    it's open, and ADE has all the information about it, plus the file path
    where it will be located.  That may save some work later.  I downloaded a
    book into ADE, but it came up in the 'Reading' pane, and I was not able to
    save it to the Library.  It's still out there somewhere, but it does not
    appear in ADE.

  • I purchased songs the other day with a gift card and they now show up in my purchase history but won't download into my library.

    For some reason my computer won't let me download any new music it lets me buy them on itunes and then they show up as purchased but they don't acutally show up in my library. The other thing is that my computer automatically sends any new music to my phone over my wifi so these new purchased songs show up on my Iphone but not in my library. When I try to download new purchases in itunes it brings up an error message that says "There were problems downloading some purchased items"

    Select the Recently added playlist and see if they show up there.
    The other thing is that my computer automatically sends any new music to my phone over my wifi so these new purchased songs show up on my Iphone but not in my library.
    They are being downloaded from the iTunes store, not syncing from yrou computer.
    Settings > iTunes & App stores.
    If Automatic donwloads is set to On, whenever you make a purchase using any device/computer, they will be automatically downloaded to your phone.

  • Adobe flash won't download because I forst have to close Mozilla Firefox How do I do that

    when I go to Comcast and try to watch any video it says that I must install Adobe Flash Player first. so I try and get thru all the screens except the last....which says: The installer will automatically continue when the conflicting applications are closed: Mozilla Firefox.
    Well closing it shuts everything off because I am using it to run my site. This is sort of " Catch 22 " . Strange--- when I go to MSN and then bring up comcast I can view the videos. But I use Morningstat and other sites like MSM.com and videos are blocket there also with the same must download Adobe Flashplayer and I get blocked by that same screen. So how do I block you and keep you on so I can download this Adobe Flashplayer? I am not a computer genius. [email protected]

    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />

  • Help me!  Flash won't download! :(

    Hello! Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.
    I have not had Flash in about 4 months and so my internet does next to nothing I want it to...
    I try every week, sometimes several times, to fix this but it never works!
    I download it, say yes to things, blah blah blah, then it finishes, I restart my computer, go to a website and BAM. You need to download Flash to see this. I thought I just did? Guess not. *tries again* Oops, still didn't work.
    Why doesn't it work? Do I have a virus that is eating my Flash Player or something? I've been trying and trying but I can't seem to fix this. I'm so upset...ugh...my computer is just a paperweight and source of sadness/stress right now, so I'd appreciate some help...
    I use firefox if thats helpful at all

    "Download successful" means it downloaded. It DOESN'T by any means it "installed". Bringing the gorceries in the house doesn't make dinner.
    You NEED to run the installer.
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save one or both to your downloads folder and close your browser (or better yet, reboot). THEN run the installer(s) from your downloads folder.
