Flash won't install - HELP!!

Hi All,
I'm running Windows Vista and had some trouble the other day
with Adobe Flash - so I disabled it in the add-on tab. Then I
rebooted and reinstalled it. Supposedly, it reinstalled
successfully and was now listed as enabled in the add-on tab.
Except it really isn't installed. For some reason, no flash works
in IE. I'm not having the same trouble in Firefox. I ran the
Registry corrector from Microsoft but no luck there either.
Any help you could give would be greatlly appreciated. Thank
you in advance.
Best regards,
Mara

Hi Spring,
It is possible the flash player plugin/activeX is not
enabled. This is a method stated in an earlier post.
Go to Tools -> Manage Add-ons -> Enable or Disable
Add-ons...
In the Show drop down box, select "Add-ons that run without
permissions" or "Add-ons currently loaded in Internet Explorer."
Check to see if there is a "Shockwave ActiveX Control" or
"Shockwave Flash Object" by Adobe Systems Incorporated. If there
is, check both of them to see if they are enabled. Check
http://www.2advanced.com and
see if it's working. Post back to let us know if that worked.

  • [SOLVED] Both stable and unstable chromium-pepper-flash won't install

    Hi all,
    I just installed Chromium, but am unable to install Flash. It was recommended that I install pepper-flash rather than flashplugin, since the latter is deprecated. But there is a problem:
    chromium-pepper-flash-stable won't install because the link to the package is invalid:
    ERROR: Failure while downloading google-chrome-stable-31.0.1650.57-1.x86_64.rpm
    chromium-pepper-flash won't install because the md5 checksum is invalid:
    ==> Validating source files with md5sums...
    google-chrome-unstable_current_amd64.deb ... FAILED
    LICENSE.txt ... Passed
    ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
    This leaves me with three questions:
    Does this happen often, or is it a freak coincidence that both recommended Flash packages are broken on the first day I start using Arch?
    I can probably find the proper package file for chromium-pepper-flash-stable, but what is recommended practice for installing it (if I am in a hurry, or just impatient)? Should I hack the PKGBUILD file myself?
    Should I flag these packages as out-of-date in AUR?
    Thanks!

    Yes, edit the PKGBUILD yourself. Both the link and the checksum.
    Have a look at the comments: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chro … mments=all Being broken is not an uncommon occurrence for this package.

  • Flash won't install window 7 64 bit

    I have had two days worth of headaches trying to fix this. I have the following
    Windows 7 64 bit
    IE 8
    spyware doctor anti-virus
    Apparently Adobe updated itself a couple of days ago, and Now I have this Flash Player problem.  Everything worked fine until then.
    I need some clear concise instuctions on how to fix this.  I have tried the uninstall, and the reinstall and looked in the windows folder and tried to find the 32 bit IE somewhere on my computer and have found nothing.
    So I've had it, I'm not happy, in fact I am down right mad.  Please someone help fix this.  Thank You

    Hi, I understand you have the Win7/64bit/IE8. Firefox(FF) you say is working, which you installed Flash Player using the 32bit. Flash Player will install and has been installed and is being installed in Win7/64bit. But you can't use the 64bit browser to do so, neither in IE or FF or Chrome or any other browser that Flash Player supports.
    If you got the prompt from Adobe Flash Player on your Desktop and it installed, did you Reboot(restart) after it was completed? Also, Using IE, go the the ALL manage add ons and look for Shockwave Flash Object..ActiveX Control...
    Flash10e.ocx version 10.0.45.2 and make sure that it listed and it is Enabled. This Control works with your Flash files for IE. Just as the SWF vs 10.0.45.2 plug-in for FF does.
    If you did not get the Flash Player prompt from Adobe and did an Install manually, then using IE you would have had to use the Adobe Uninstaller first. There are certain procedures and sometimes when Installing Flash Player, a Firewall, an Anti-Virus program, too high of security settings for IE will block the Install of the needed ActiveX Control.
    If Firefox used ActiveX Controls as IE does, you would have had the same problem. FF uses plug-ins so there is a difference.
    If you want to get Flash Player Installed successfully, then these variables need to be considered.
    If no one with Win7/IE8/64bit systems were able to install Adobe Flash Player, then I would agree that Adobe needs to fix something. However, that is not the case.
    There are many reasons that you were not successful, but blaming Adobe won't get FP installed.
    Thanks,

  • Flash won't Install

    Hi,
    Flash Player will not install on my computer. I am so frustrated, I've spent hours on this and Abode's site is very confusing. I had Flash and all was well. Then one day I did not have Flash, I do not know why. So I've been trying to install again. I follow all the steps just fine and sure enough it all goes well and I'm told Flash has successfully installed. Nope. It's not there. I go to play things (as a test) that require Flash and it says I need to download Flash. I've downloaded Flash ad nauseum. It does not 'stick.' I do restart computer after each time.
    I am using a MacBook Pro computer, OS version 10.7.5. I've followed the instructions on Adobe, etc... and it definitely downloads. It seems to install. It says at the end 'Installation complete.' But in the end..... nothing. Am I doing something wrong? Is something on my computer preventing this like Teflon? If so I would think I'd get a message saying so but all I'm getting is messages saying Flash has installed.

    Thanks Pynkeye.
    Yes, wish it were more obvious that 'allow plug-ins' needs to be checked. Here is the link where I learned this:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enabling-flash-player-safari.html
    I also followed this tutorial by Mike M. http://forums.adobe.com/message/5560631#5560631
    Not sure if that Mike M. tutorial lead me to the first link -- that included advice to allow plug-ins -- but both mention that. I do know that the Mike M. clean install tutorial helped me properly uninstall Flash (as I'd downloaded it several times so I may've gunked up the works) and I'm afraid my own previous uninstall efforts may've lead me to delete some Photoshop things I should not have (I HOPE not!).
    I will say that I am quite sure (99 Percent sure) that the regular step-by-step Flash install walk-thru (which you are linked to if you go to something that needs Flash to play and you do not have it) does not say to check to see if the allow plug-ins box is checked. And of course it should. 

  • Flash won't install after downloading...early 2013 MBP/Retina, 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram, 3GHz Intel Core i7 Processor (clean installation)

    Flash Player won’t install after downloading
    On the first attempt to install v14, Flash Player v13 was installed and working fine.
    I opened the installation package for the new Flash Player, followed standard protocol for installing Mac software and it hung before retrieving anything.
    Subsequently, while watching the beach ball spin, I got an error message that the installer could not retrieve the v13 Flash Player software.
    So I uninstalled Flash Player 13 and again attempted to install v14, only to see the spinning beach ball followed by a message that the installer could not retrieve the v14 Flash Player software.
    I am running OS X v10.9.4 on an early 2013 MBP/Retina display with 3GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8GB DDR3 1600 MHz Ram.
    If you have any ideas or suggestions regarding my issue, please let me know.
    Sincerely.

  • Adobe Flasher Won't Install

    I've have tried everything I can think of to try to install
    adobe flasher. I had it on this computer for a long time and now it
    just won't install properly. Everytime i try to install it, it says
    that I need to install the Active X. I then try to install Active
    X, but I always get a note that tells me that the instalation
    failed. I can't view certain pictures and video. I can't seem to
    properly download the correct Active X control or there maybe
    another problem. Thanks for any information.

    The number one reason that the ActiveX installer fails to
    install on IE are due to incorrect permissions in the system
    registry. We have solved hundreds of these Windows system
    permissions with Microsoft’s SubInACL tool.
    Note: This is strictly for Windows IE, these issues do not
    occur on other browsers such as Firefox.
    www.firefox.com
    To fix these Windows system registry permission conflicts you
    can use Microsoft’s SubInACL tool.
    Warning: The following solution involves the Windows System
    Registry. Editing or manipulating the registry incorrectly can
    result in serious system damage which may require re-installation
    of the operating system. If you are not comfortable editing the
    registry, then take your system to a professional. If you choose to
    proceed, then it is essential that you create a complete system
    backup and a Windows System Restore Point before proceeding.
    Please download Microsoft’s tool to your desktop.
    http://www.supportflash.com/reset_min.zip
    1. Login as the User that has the incorrect permissions in
    the system registy
    2. unzip the “reset_minimal.cmd” and the
    “subinacl.exe” to the desktop
    *** Make sure both files are on the desktop
    3. Close out all applications
    4. Run the “reset.cmd” file
    5. It will open a DOS like terminal and start running through
    registry keys
    6. When it is finished it will say “press any key to
    continue”
    7. At this point you can download the latest Flash Player

  • Flash won't install in IE after FakeAVG trojan

    Help, please.  My computer had a FakeAVG Trojan (detected by MalewareBytes) and now I cannot get Adobe Flash to properly install.  The trojan was completely cleaned.  I have tried multiple steps including using Adobe tools to uninstall and reinstall, both with download manager and manual.  I am running Vista 64 bit, but IE is 32 bit.  I have tried IE 7 and IE 8.  Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X is showing in Programs and Features, but when I check the Add-ons in IE, the only Adobe product listed is PDF Link Helper, and it's disabled.  I have looked at All Add-Ons and Run Without Permission.  I have been able to install Adobe Flash Player in Safari and it works natively in Chrome, but I cannot figure out why it is not working in IE.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    eidnolb, thanks for your response.  I am using Avast (Free version) and it us fully updated.  I have ran Malewarebytes on a full scan again, after finding the original trojan, and it found nothing.  It did not correct the issue.  Below is all I found in the log file.  Although, the initial clean was performed with a version of SuperAntiSpyware Portable that allow me to run it from a flash drive.  This cleaned it enough to allow me to install and run Malewarebytes.  I don't think I have a log file from what it found.

    I can't take credit for this as some other clever sausage suggested it on here. I'm looking for his entry so I can thank him as it has worked for me. Have a look at the following link from Microsoft.com:

    I would check that the symptoms it describes are applicable to your computer.
    I have had amajor stress but wanted to pass it on as I know how frustrating it is. After 4 weeks I have finally got it working.
    I hope it works for you too.

  • Flash won't install on Firefox

    Hi, I got a message from Facebook while trying to view a
    video that I needed to download and install Flash Player 9. It
    downloaded fine, but when I tried to install it told me I needed to
    exit Firefox. I did so and tried again and got the same message. I
    used IE to install Flash and succeeded, and viewed the Facebook
    videos without a problem. When trying to view them using Firefox,
    Facebook still told me I needed to install Flash. How can I install
    Flash using Firefox?
    So many F's (Flash, Facebook, Firefox)!
    -ynnnus

    Hi, You are correct, it wouldn't have anything to do with IE8. Ever since Win7 came out, I know it has IE8 so I just connect the two in my brain.LOL  I read that you can't go back to any other version of IE, with Win7.
    Firefox calls their add ons "plug-ins"; Internet Explorer calls their add ons "ActiveX Controls". Adobe calls Flash Player a browser "plug-in" Now most likely you will find the Flash Player listed in the add/remove or programs and features section, where programs are listed. Confused yet? Now when Flash Player is installed using IE, 4 files are installed into
    the Flash folder. That alone is not enought for Flash Player to work. In the IE add ons, the Shockwave Flash Object, yes the ActiveX Control and it is the Control must be there and enabled.
    Now if Flash Player is installed in FF, also 4 files are installed into the Flash folder. You have 8 files, so you have all of what you need for Flash Player to work using IE since you have the SWO. FF also needs that "control", but it is called
    SWF(Shockwave Flash) and it must be enabled. The SWF is called a "plug-in".
    The only thing I found on Mozilla is how to install the Flash Player "plug-in" which I thot they meant the SWF. No they
    mean how to install what Adobe calls Flash Player, i.e. the "plug-in" Now are you confused? But you already have Flash Player installed and the 4 files are sitting in the Flash folder. Dizzy yet?
    I am going to Microsoft and it may be tomorrow before we get an answer. LOL
    Now I know why I liked Accounting, 2+2 was always 4.
