HELP Cannot run FLASH PLAYER on my LAPTOP Windows XP

Sept 8 2011     I hv been trying to run Adobe Flash Player v 10.1.3 on my laptop HP/Compac Presario V2410
for weeks now. I download program but it doesnt show up that it is on my computer.
I hv been trying every solution that ADOBE offers and I hv chked all over the internet. I hv tried every browser I.E.8,   Google Chrome, Monzilla FoxFire,
and nothing works.   I must get a solution b/c I working on developing my WEBPAGE that uses ADOBE FLASH.
Adobe FLASH PLAYER works on my 2 desktops... well atleast in Monzilla FoxFire & Google Chrome, sometimes works in I.E. 8.
On all my computers FLASH doesnt showup in my CONTROL PANEL in the Add/REMOVE Program section.
The name Adobe Flash shows up, but the megabyte amount doesnt.   So this leads me to believe that the program downloads, but never really
uploads to my computer. IT works only b/c it is already in GOOGLE Chrome & Monzilla FoxFire. BUT... I cannot get it going on my laptop which is running
Windows XP 32 bits SP3   AMD Turion 64   Proceesor    2GB RAM   Hard DRive 80GB - 57 GB free    CA ANTIVIRUS. I do disable my antivirus
when I download the FLASH program.
I just CANNOT BELIEVE that ADOBE puts out this program, and cannot get a SOLUTION to all of OUR PROBLEMS.
I see that THIS IS effecting 100's & 1000's of us. EVERYONE uses FLASH.   PLS ADOBE HELP ME & US OUT !!!.
PLS ADVISE

Cannot run flash player 10.1 on my mac OS 10.6.6

I have successfully loaded the only current version of flash player onto my iMac running OS10.6.6 (Snow Leopard). When I try to view videos on You Tube a messages states that I have a missing flash player plug in. I have followed the instructions on FAQ on Adobe's website to no avail. My iMac is only 1 month old and I am using Safari. Could anyone come to my aid.

Hi, When Flash Player is Installed, a Shockwave Flash plugin is also Installed. Look in the HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ directory and see if you have the below two files:
Flash Player.plugin
flashplayer.xpt
Make sure the plugin is Enabled.
See if that helps.

Cannot run flash player or Reader

I connot install flash player or reader I install them from the site and it says you are now running adobe but I then do the check on adobes web site and it says you either do not have flash player or it is not enabled.

See: Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer
and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer

Cannot install Flash Player plug-in on Windows Vista through Mozilla Firefox

I own a Windows Vista basic version laptop and am currently browsing with Mozilla Firefox. Everytime I try to install the missing plug-in for Adobe Flash Player (the lego image) on the Flash Player homepage it pops up as Flash Player 10.0.45.2 and I agree to the terms of use and click "Install" but then I am asked what I want to open the file with and I don't know what file it is associated with on my computer (My computer often has this problem with .exe files though) . If I close the "Open With" box the installation says failed and gives me an option to "manual install, but when I go to the Adobe Flash Player site (with all other browser windows closed of course), and click "agree and download" a small box with a loading green bar pops up titled "Installing Adobe Download Manager" and stays there for about 2 minutes but nothing ever happens when I am redirected to the "Thank You" page afterwards, no dialog box w/ run or save ever pops up. I have added "get.adobe.com" to my allowed installation add-ons and pop-ups are also allowed on this page but nothing happens. I appreciate any input for my problem...Thanks

Hi, thanks for the update of info. In that case I would download this Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer to your
Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe When this window opens, SAVE it to your Desktop.
Before Running, Close all browsers, disable any applications that use Flash(check system tray-area of clock), make sure
in Internet Explorer>Internet Options that Security is set to Medium for the Internet Zone.
Now your Anti=Virus/Firewall can block the Install of the Flash Player ActiveX Control that must be installed. You may want to Disable those also. Windows Firewall is ok, no need to Disable it.
After Installing, make sure to Reboot(restart) your computer. Then go to this test site:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
Then using IE, go to Tools>Manage Add ons and check All add ons for Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control..Flash10e.ocx(version 10.0.45.2) and make sure it is listed and Enabled.
If you have any questions or comments prior to beginning, just post back.
Thanks,

Is there a way to run flash player on iPAd?

I am rather unhappy that I cannot run FlashPlayer on my iPad. I can't run most of my weather sites without it. As a boat captain I rely on weather sites for safety among other things and when I travel it becomes even more important. I find it ridiculous that apple won't run Flash and Java. If I can't run these I will go back to my laptop.

What you rather unfriendly and DEFINITELY unhelpful people fail to realize is 1) I am still, regrettably, using my laptop BECAUSE the iPad cannot run Flash Player. 2) As a PROFESSIONAL, whose livelihood and safety depend largely on weather and the ability to forecast CORRECTLY, not just with a pretty forecaster or cute comments, I SUBSCRIBE to PAY weather services which are much more accurate and detailed than the Weather Channel and Accuweather which try for mass appeal. SO STOP TELLING MY WHAT SIGHTS I SHOULD USE? After 30 years (20 with Internet) I chose my sites because of their quality. 3) I ASKED A SIMPLE QUESTION. With the exception of one or two answers, all the rest of you chose to attack me and criticize me for not wanting to use HTML5 or whatever garbage Apple chooses t shove in my face.
I could give a rat's &$@ what you think of me. I wanted to know if Apple could work for me and now I know it cannot. For now I will continue to lug my heavy laptop around and I will dedicate more time to researching a
Ight alternative. You APPLE JUNKIES are ridiculous. If somebody is unhappy with anything Apple, it is never Apple's fault. OK you run out and buy whatever you are TOLD. I for one choose to buy what works for me. I bout the iPad because everyone raved about how great it was - well, I found out that wasn't true.. in the few months I have owned it I have encountered MANY people unhappy with it for various reasons. YES IT WAS MY FAULT I PURCHASED IT WITHOUT SUFFICIENT RESEARCH--- I WON'T MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN.
All you know-it-alls, can have your junk. I am happy with myself and when I make a mistake I recognize it and change it. I am doing that. I have no use for any of you. you are no help to anyone. Fortunately, I can go back to wonderful life out on the ocean, being paid for what most of you can only dream about doing even once. you on the other hand can go back to your litle cubiclels taking whatever corporate America shoves down your throat and believing it is best for you.
LASTLY, how is it that anyone who has a complaint is a troll? Do you all work for Apple? Or ar you just THAT BRAINWASHED? how lame a life you must have.

I cannot install flash player on my MAC - (osx 10.8.4) - it downloads 50%, then clicks to "finish"

I cannot install flash player on my Mac - running OSX 10.8.4 and Safari 6.0.5. The progress bar show is as downloading to 50%, then converts to "installing" and immediately goes to 100% and says it's installed. But it's not. I get another Adobe Flash installer icon on my desktop instead. Help!

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
First, remove Adobe Flash Player completely using Flash Player uninstaller for MAC : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
Download offline installer for Adobe Flash Player (MAC) from here : http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg
Once the file is downloaded, run the installer
Thanks,

I need to know how to run Flash Player in a Vista 32-bit browser running on a 64-bit O.S.

Help please ! I have been reading for days, trying everything to find the answer to my dilemma, which BTW is making it impossible to use our new computer now. Every other minute it seems I get the message that I need to run Flash Player in a VISTA 32-bit browser which is actually running on a 64-bit operating system. Do I have to uninstall a program (what and where is it) and then instal something else (from where etc.)?
Give me back our XP! I get the idea that Adobe keeps SAYING they are developing a platform for Adobe Flash to run on a 64-bit, but I fear that is only a stall. Who is responsible for helping neophytes? No matter how many times I have tried to contact Adobe, it is a joke. One time, even though I do not have a subscription for service, the poor man took pity on me. But his Indian accent was so severe I have ZERO idea what he was saying. Can one of you wonderful, erudite, helpful people out there give me the solution in computer language 101?? I will be forever grateful. I wish our computer "guru" had been smart enough to give us the pros and cons when he suggested Vista and 64..... When I am asked for a serial number even I have no earthly idea how to get that either. I feel completely HELPLESS and SLEEPLESS in Tucson. Thanks SOOOO much to whomever can get me going in the right direction. (Forgive my LONG message. I had to vent. I feel better.) CLOWG

Hi Clowg,
Sorry to hear that you are having trouble. Unfortunately, I don't believe the folks here on this forum will be able to help you with your issue. Have you tried posting on the Flash Player forum?

Please Help Me Install Flash player

Yesterday I unintentionally uninstalled Flash player with a product named Perfect Uninstaller. During the process it states that the Item I uninstalled will be uninstalled now and forever. Every time I click "run" to install it starts for about one second and then stops completely. I'm beginning to think that they meant it and that there is some sort of blocking going on but that is just an assumption. I hope some can help. I am a novice obviously. I am using Windows XP.

Cannot find flash player 10 after install: xp pro, IE6, SP2

I have been trying for a week to install Flash Player 10 to no avail. I uninstall and reinstall every time. I have XP Professional Media version, IE6, ans SP2. After install, from which I get no errors and a successful install message, I search for flash player and cannot find it anywhere on my C drive. Any ideas? Is there still a problem with trying to install with IE? Thanks for your help and support.

Flash Player is a browser plugin, not an installed application. It's not designed to work as a standalone app for opening FLV or SWF. It's designed to play SWF content inside a web page inside your browser.
Now, if you must open local content then you can either open those using File: Open in your browser, or you can get the FLash Player 10 Standalone player from the archived players technote here: kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html

I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac

I cannot get Flash Player to install on my Mac Air. I have repeatedly confirmed that I meet the system requirements and installed and uninstalled the software. It always fails at 51% installation and give me and alert that says Install Error. Please help!
MAC OS 10.8.5
Safari 6.1
Firefox 26.0
Just performed the update to FP12 on my iMac. Worked perfectly.
MAC OS 10.6.8
Safari 5.1.10
Firefox 26.0
It appears the problem is with the newer OS...

"Allllllllrighty then!" as "Ace Ventura" said....
The problem ISN'T with Flash Player...
If you remember back in September, when Apple released the 10.8.5 update, shortly thereafter... you no doubt discovered a file named "mach_kernel" was in your Mac HD directory. And... unaware of what it was, you deleted it.
That (mach_kernel) is a base file of OS X and Apple screwed up the update and made it "visible" when it's supposed to be hidden.
Hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting Mac Users worldwide deleted it and it'll make things worse as time goes by.
YOU'RE in luck, though. I have a fix.
If you have a TIme Machine and use the "Secrets" pereference pane to reveal "hidden files", you can restore it from a "pre 10.8.5" backup.
If not, I have a "fresh" mach_kernel file you can download.
You'll need to download and install the Secrets prefpane. It'll then be in your System Preferences.
Make sure you have it set to "show hidden files"
Check the box and you have to restart Finder
Press "Quit This" and then go to the Finder Dock icon and right click it
Select "Open"
Open your TIme Machine
Go back to September 28 or earlier.
You'll see the mach_kernel file in the Mac HD directory
(I can't show it in the TM because screenshots don't work while it's open but here it is in my MAc HD)
Right click it and select "Restore to"
Then, when it goes back to Finder, choose the Mac HD directory and click OK.
It will place the mach_kernel back where it was and you can install software again
DON'T FORGET to go back and hide your files (and restart Finder) again, or you'll have a mess with the clutter of hidden files everywhere.
IF you don't have the Time Machine...
WITH hidden files shown, download this file (mach_kernel.zip)
Move it to your Mac HD directory and THEN unzip it with Stuffit Expander or TheUnarchiver, whichever you use (most people have Stuffit).
You should see the mach_kernel file there.
You can delete the zip file, and then go back to Secrets in your System Preferences, and uncheck Show Hidden Files.
Restart Finder and it'll be safely hidden again.
THEN you can install Flash Player and other software without the "General Installation Error".
