Have installed adobe flash player and is in downloads, and my documents, but I can't open it due to conflicting instance. No idea what to do next

Trying to open adobe flash player so my daughter can play educational games. Think it's downloaded ok, but it won't open due to 'conflicting instances'. I don't even know what that means!

This is the full procedure for installing Adobe Flash for Firefox.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{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).

You can try using the 'official' Facebook app or Friendly For Facebook - not sure whether they work with videos.

What means "not working"; what do you see instead of the expected Flash content?

I have Windows 7 and IE 10 and have installed Adobe Flash Player 11 multiple times.

I have Windows 7 and IE 10 and have installed Adobe Flash Player 11 multiple times. When I go to play a YouTube video, it tells me that I still need to install Flash Player and will not work. I've installed it many times and still nothing. Please help--getting very frustrated that I can watch YouTube videos on my smartphone, but can't on my computer which costs 12 times as much!!!

Adobe Flash Player Installer gets stuck "downloading" and won't proceed

I'm on Mac OSX 10.10.1, using Safari and Chrome as browsers. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and since then have gotten error messages that I don't have Flash installed. When I download the Installer, it gets stuck and won't move past "30%" downloaded. I've left it for hours, and it is still at 30 when I return. Is there a permissions issue that I could play with to allow it to continue installing? Any suggestions for what to try to get this installed?
I've been able to download the installer itself, but the problem comes after I double-click "Install Adobe Flash Player." See screenshot below.
This is where it gets stuck:

Use the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

My mac won't install adobe flash player, how do i download it?

it downloads and everything, and the little icon goes down to the bottom bar but then when its done downloading and i press finish the icon dissapears and it still does not work. I am just wondering how i can download it so it works????

Download this: Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.70. When the download is finsiched double-click on the .dmg file that you should find either on your Desktop or in your Downloads folder. The disc image will mount on the Desktop. Double-click on the disc's icon. Double-click on the installer you find inside the disc image. This will install Flash.

I have installed adobe flash player. I can not open the file. In plugins under tools it is not showing. It shows acrobat reader being there but not flash player. Any ideas?

Flasher Player should be listed as a plugin in tools for it to work?

I have installed adobe flash player severally but it is still not working

I really need help as i can't use applications that are involved with flash player. I have 32 - bit HP compaq and i use windows 7.
I have really installed , uninstalled and reinstalled it severally. I have also gone on the help and support in adobe looking for help but nothing seems to be working for me. I need to have it up and running for me.

@ogksd - As Vikram mentioned checking for the shockwave addon is the first troubleshooting step that we recommend. Here are two FAQs that should help:
Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer
ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer

I have installed Adobe Flash Player 9 but i don't know where i could find it

Adobe Flash Player update will not download and receive messages that plugin for videos is disabled.

Received message that Adobe FlashPlayer needed to be updated. I try walking through the steps and it will never download. Cannot view news clips or videos sent to me. Receive a message "The plugin for this content has been disabled. Click here to manage." If I click, nothing happens.

Have you blocked a component called ''plugin_container.exe'' with your firewall by any chance? Check the logs.
Try downloading the [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html Flash Player Uninstaller]
Next, reboot and then go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ It should give you the option to install it immediately without the need to download it.
Be aware though that when you run the uninstaller, it will also remove Flash from IE8 (or 9), so if you use either of those, you'll have to go to the same site again and download it from within Internet Explorer.
