  • Flash player won't install after Antivirus8

    I had the Antivirus8 problem this week.  Malwarebytes seems to have uninstalled it.  I have also run Eset Online Scanner and Microsoft malicious remover tool.  They all now say I'm clean.  But my flash player no longer works.  I have turned off my AVG 9.0 (why didn't it catch the virus!!), and have downloaded the flash uninstaller and the installer.  Ran them both, rebooting inbetween.  flash player seems to install, but when I go to the adobe test site i get the red x instead of the video showing that the flash player is working.  Online sites that require flash player do not work either.
    This all is new since the antivirus 8.  I never had a problem with flash before.  I am running Windows 7 Home, 64 bit, and internet explorer  I also have mozilla firefox.  I have tried using the  both IE 32 bit and IE 64 bit, as well as firefox, and all say that flash needs to be installed.
    Help please!

    Thank you so much for your support,GLPCPA.
    It is a good idea but some Japanese can not do system restore(have no point of system restore).
    So I want another new infos on adobe F player will not install after Antivirus 8 infection.
    Thank you ,GLPCPA
    Have a good time.

  • Flash Player Refuses to Install

    I have a G5 PowerPC Mac and am trying to install Flash Player
    9. I have turned off my browser to avoid that problem. However,
    when I ask it to install, it finishes installing the first 8 items
    but never finishes the last 4. I would appreciate any help or
    advice.

  • Flash player will not install after uninstalling

    Hi,
    I  am trying (unsuccessfully) to install the flash player. To view a website it was necessary to have this, i did have it installed but figured that if the website did not acknowledge it there might have been something wrong with it so i uninstalled it.  Now when I try to install it - nothing happens - it goes to the screen which warns about the security settings affecting its download but no warning message comes up, about installing the active x or anything, it just stays on that page. Im using windows vista and internet exlorer. If anybody could help with this i would really appreciate it.
    Thanks

    Download the offline ActiveX installer http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe; save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

  • Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

  • Why the flash player don't work after installing the video downloader add-on?

    I've installed and uninstall the Firefox mobile app several times to try and fix this issue. Every time I add the video downloader add-on the flash player won't let me tap to play videos anymore. I've tried to completely enable the flash but still didn't work. I've used this add on for a few months and it worked fine up until the last Firefox update. Without the add-on the flash player works fine but after I've added the video downloader add-on I would have to uninstall and reinstall the mobile spot to get the flash to work again. I really love to use this add-on that's the advantage that Firefox mobile app has over other web browser. Please tell me how I can fix this issue. THANKS

    Hello FRYDAE
    Welcome to SuMo help Forum,
    Thankyou for reaching us here
    About your problem , have you tried to clear your privacy/browsing data? And see if flash works?
    And you can try to disable the add-on, if you don't want to use it . and enable it again if you want to download a video .
    Cheers!

  • Flash Player won't install even after a clean install (Attn: Chris Campbell)

    Hi there,
    I'm using IE on a 64 bit Windows 7 system and am having the worst time trying to get Flash Player to work.  It was working fine before and then one day, just stopped working, so not sure if that was due to an update or not.  I've followed Chris Campbell's 'How do do a clean install' video a few times and still have not had any luck.  I did notice my system did not have some of the files he said to delete.
    When deleting from '%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player', the file I had was NativeCache, not the same as he had.
    Also, when deleting from '%appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player', the file was not found at all, so I am wondering if it isn't installing this file in the first place.
    When I've tried doing the install after following his directions, I still get the occasional warning to close Internet Exporer.  I've made sure I've closed all programs I can think of that could be causing this error and have even tried closing the browser with the download link in the first place.  Sometimes I still get that error, sometimes I don't, but still, no luck with the actual successful install.
    Please help! 
    Thanks!!

  • HELP Flash Player will No longer install :(

    I have a 64bit acer aspire 4741 laptop - Intel Core i5 CPU M 430 @ 2.27GHz 2.27GHz & 4GB Ram.
    I have had flash player on it fine before, but it only works the 1st time it's downloaded as soon as I closed my laptop lid or shutdown, the plug in stopped working & I had to re-install it- a hassle but do-able.
    I have sims 3 pets on it & it was working fine untill today when pets wouldnt open then crashed due to flash player not working (flash player worked fine for 2dys-which was a 1st & i thought that version had fixed the problem untill it wouldnt work today). I uninstalled flash player & tried to reinstall it again from the adobe site & this is what happens:
    Click download
    Click Save file - it downloads to downloads folder
    double click flashplayer 11 installer\
    dialog box with run comes up
    Click Run, it closes
    mouse icon shows processing circle for 10sec's then Nothing.............7 times this is what has happened!!!
    There is no flash player installed at all - I installed flash player 10- the installer worked fine so think it's the fact my laptop is 0.03-0.06 GHz lower than required according to flash player 11's system requirements (figured this out AFTER deleting ALL flash players off of my system, so dont know what version of flash player I had yesterday!) & now cant play any games due to not being able to install flash player AT ALL- 10 didnt cut the mustard & pets along with a few other games wont open to play.
    I have tried restarting my PC between installs- deleting all previous versions from my system (including from recycle bin)- All that seems to happen after clicking run is Adobe flash play installer shows up in task manager under running processes & I have to end it there inorder to try install flash player again other wise a dialog box saying only one instance of this can run at a time.
    I need to know how to get flash player back on my system so I can use my computer & play my flippn games - I'm not a PC wizz, so basic & easy to follow would be good thanks lol  
    UPDATE...
    After all of the above I THINK I've managed to get it flash player 11 to install by going to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ & using the pop up message that appeared under the taskbar saying 'missing plug-in' & having that directly install it on to my laptop - it did crash twice while installing but I just waited it out & it started working again- will remove this update if the games & what not still wont work....fingers crossed.

  • I do not think Flash Player 10 is installing properly.

    OS: Dual Booth Win XP and Vista 32bit
    System: Quad Core Dell Precision 3400
    Background:
        I recently had to format my machine and now I cannot get flash player to run properly.
    Problem/Error:
         I am a developer and I am having problems running the swf files outside of the Flash Professional CS4 IDE.  Inside the IDE I am able to run the swf file(s) with no errors at all.  I can even load the swf files into another swf and run them in the IDE. I can run them in the broswer (IE 8, FireFox, or Chrome) with no issue as well. When I try to run the swf using Flashplayer outside of the IDE and Browser I get following Error:
    VerifyError: Error #1033: Cpool entry "X" is wrong type.  -->  Where "X" can be any numeric value and changes frequently.
         I also believe I am having trouble installing flash player 10 because when I run a swf file, it will always puts "Adobe Flash Player 9" at the top in my title bar of the window. If I check my program files within control panel, it will so tell me Adobe Flash Player 9 -- and I have installed Flash Player 10.0.22.87 multiple times. I have also installed the flashplayer_10_ax_debug in hopes of solving my problem and have had no luck. I have also tried using the uninstall_flash_player download to install a fresh install of flash player 10.0.22.87 and have had with no luck as well. I do NOT receive any errors during install.
    If there is anything other information that I can provide you with that will help with troubleshooting please let me know.         

    Download the Windows Flash Player 10 Projector content debugger (EXE, 4.95 MB)
    Using the above link I was able to fix the problem.  It's the projector that I needed to update. 

  • Flash player won't install in windows 7

    Flash player won't install in windows 7
    This is what I get when trying to use "FLASH PLAYER HELP", as you can see, my flash player and OS are NOT listed and when asked on left side of screen if "THIS WAS HELPFUL", I clicked NO and could not complete my response.
    HOW DO I FIX THIS??? THERE ARE SEVERAL ITEMS THAT REQUIRE FLASH PLAYER & I CANNOT GET IT TO WORK. AFTER DOWNLOADING (AT LEAST4 TIMES) IT SAYS EVERYTIME "INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL"

    Download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header and save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer.

  • Flash Player 9 OSX Install Question???

    Greetings! Recently my Flash Player stopped operating, and
    prompts came up on screen to go to Adobe's website to download
    Flash Player 9 OSX. After double checking which version to
    download, I proceded with it's installation. After the download was
    over, the prompt came up again as not having the Flash player.
    Here's a copy of the prompt:
    The page “Macromedia - Flash Player” has content
    of MIME type “application/x-shockwave-flash”,
    but you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME
    type. A plug-in should be available on this page:
    https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer
    Why does it keep cycling itself back to saying I don't have
    the software? Am I missing something here? I've tried so many
    times, I've lost count! ANY help, suggestions, etc... would be MUCH
    appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Doug Martin

    Matt,
    If you have the luxury of living near by a Certified Apple
    Store... go there! Purchase the "ProCare" card, and they'll do a
    REINSTALL the latest OS X 10.4.10. Worked IMMEDIATELY after the
    reinstall... no problems since. Good luck, Matt!

  • Please Help, Flash Player for Mac

    I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5.  Last night Facebook told me I MUST update to the newest version of Flash Player in order to upload multiple pics.  I kept getting plug-in failure messages and then the message saying I need to update my version of Flash.
    Problem is I have updated my version of Flash and the plug in still doesn't work.  Please help, my business relies on my being able to upload multiple photos daily to social media.  What is going on?  I have read the forums, the work arounds posted on 4/16.  Uninstalled, re-installed, etc.  I am still getting flash plug in failures even on Adobe's site.  What do I do?

    No.
    I am in the same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube for example) are fine.
    For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
    You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
    But there is a workaround!
    Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
    Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
    Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
    Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
    I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.
