Have to reinstall flash again and again constantly

I'm trying to watch Youtube with IE7. I have to reinstall
flash over and over. It works for a while, and then when I click to
watch a video, it says flash has to be installed. Why is this? I
have to do it cosntantly! Sometimes, it happens to my firefox also,
but mostly, it's a Huge problem with my IE! I've tried uninstalling
it with control panel and reinstalling from a saved download and
from the adobe site itself. Either method works, flash installs and
works for a while, and then I have to do it all over again. I'm
using windows vista home premium btw. Any ideas? It's annoying to
have to reinstall it over and over!

If you use Vista and Flash 10, this worked for me:
http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2153/vista_adobe_flash_player/
The instructions were for Flash version 9 however I ran both
FlashUtil10b.exe and NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe in the
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash folder. Also, before running
this, I rebooted Vista.
Before I did this, when I ran the video on the nytimes.com
site that is in the middle of the home page both Firefox and
Internet Explorer would freeze (or download very very very slowly).
Now I can run it!

  • I want to reinstall OS on my 2012 MacBook Pro. It shipped iwth 10.8, but now runs 10.9. Can I reinstall to 10.9, I do I have to reinstall 10.8 and upgrade again to 10.9?

    I want to reinstall OS on my 2012 MacBook Pro. It shipped with 10.8, but now runs 10.9. Can I reinstall straight to 10.9, or do I have to reinstall 10.8 and upgrade again to 10.9?

    Best to install 10.9 straight up. If you still have your OS 10.9 downloaded file you can use that, or you can go to the app store and download it again. It will be in your previous purchase history. Or you could even upgrade to 10.10. If you want to start from scratch you will need to boot from USB or DVD and initialise (erase) your internal HD. To do create a bootable USB thumb drive with OS 10.9 or 10.10 follow this guide
    Create a bootable installer for OS X Mavericks or Yosemite - Apple Support
    And heres a how to on installing a fresh copy of Yosemite (OS X 10.10)

  • I am using Windows 7 and using IE 10, I have to reinstall Flash Player each time I start my computer

    Hi I am using Windows 7 and IE 10 and I have to reinstall Flash Player each time I start my computer, even with a fresh install. The same thing is happening on my laptop and is driving me crazy. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this problem. I have tried some suggested fixes from this forum with still no results. Thanks.

    Make sure that you allow Firefox in your security software (firewall).
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
    Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 19.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • Have to reinstall Flash after every reboot.

    Windows 7 - IE9 - Flash version 11.0.1.152 - Plugins and OS up to date - ESET Smart Securty 4
    I get prompted to install new version of Flash after a reboot, so it happens at least once a day.
    I install Flash and it installs just fine and works until the PC boots up again.
    I tried some of the following:
    - Use Adobe Flash Uninstall program before installing
    - Using standalone install program
    - Checked ActiveX Filter and it was off...turning it on causes
       this same behavior, but the problem I have has nothing to do with the filter
    Not sure when this started, but the user didn't have this problem until recently.
    I am using ESET Smart Security 4. On all our systems, and his PC is the only
    one that is having a problem. Need some pretty hard evidence before I bother
    with uninstalling ESET just to see if that would help.
    The part that is really strange...if I go to manage add-on's while it is working,
    I see the Flash player there and Adobe's name there and that it is enabled.
    After I reboot and go into the add-on manager, Flash is still there and still
    enabled, but it now says "Unknown" instead of "Adobe" and is no longer
    listed near the other Adobe programs. But then, when I reinstall it, that gets
    "fixed" and now says Adobe again. So it almost seems like an IE9 problem
    and possibly a corruption problem. No known problems with the PC. I suppose
    that reloading the PC from scratch would fix the problem...at least I hope it would,
    but I'm also not ready to do major surgery if there is an easier fix.

    sorry no hablo ingless

    I also downloaded that Nirsoft tool, and on my (64-bit) system I also only see the ocx and exe registered.  But everything works well on my system. So I currently have no other ideas.  Hopefully someone from the Adobe team will have a look at this topic.

    Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.<br />

  • HT2506 After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer

    After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer anymore. Any ideas would be helpful thanks

    Merely clicking the Preview icon in the Dock doesn't cause it to open anything, unless you had one or more windows open the last time it quit.
    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
    1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
    Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
    Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
    3. Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
    4. In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

  • Why do I have to reinstall Flash Player on my system everytime I start/restart sys?

    I have to reinstall Flash Player (latest ver) everytime I start or restart my system (Win7, x64, IE10).

  • I have to reinstall CS5.1 and am getting error 213:19

    I had to do a system restore on my PC. This has forced me to reinstall all of my programs including Photoshop CS5.1, unfortunately I keep getting the following Configuration Error:
    "A problem has occured with the licensing of this product. Restart your computer and re-launch the product.
    If this problem still occurs after restarting, contact Customer Support for further assistance, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.

    I have restarted several times now, and get the same error every time I try to run Photoshop.
    What does this mean and how do I fix it? Thank you!

    I have solved this by perusing the forums and following the instructions in this guide:
