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.

Samsung - Flash Air and Flash Player will no longer be supported from February 4, 2014 ?

What are peoples thoughts on this?
We have been alerted that Adobe will no longer continue to support Flash on Samsung Smart TVs and BluRay players. As a result, Flash engines will not be supported in 2015 Samsung products. Going forward, Flash-related features will be excluded from SDKs released. Although Flash engines will remain to be equipped on existing Samsung products, including 2014 models, there will be no technical support from either Samsung or Adobe. Accordingly, any applications developed with Flash Air or Flash Player will no longer be acceptable. Samsung recommends using either HTML 5 or Javascript based applications if the application in question is Flash-based. Beginning on February 4, 2014, any Flash-based application, including any updated versions of such will not be acceptable for submission.

Not being able to deploy Adobe Air in Samsung devices is a huuuuuge kick in the teeth suley?

I'm not an Adobe or Samsung expert, but it seems to me that...

Flash player will simply not install?? Running Mac os 10.9.3,

Have uninstalled previous versions of Flash player..now I have no flash player, and the new downloaded version will not download(I get an error message very time)!! Awful, unworkable junk process...Please help. Simply cannot get the Flash version to download...It just hangs, and tells me to try again...really really frustrating, and shame on Adobe for releasing such a awful mistake of an upgrade...

Hello charlottedk, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are having cartridge and printhead problems. I would like to try and assist.
I would suggest performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend following the steps in this document on an 'Incompatible Print Cartridge' or 'Print Cartridge Problem' Message Displays on the Computer or P...
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Help Flash player will not run in Internet Explorer 11?

I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player and it will not run in Internet Explorer 11. I have done the things suggested in the help/forum section. What else can I try?

This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Flash Player will not upgrade/install and work properly

I have been being promted to download the Flash Player on numerous websites before the application or game will actually play.
Each and every time I go through their link to upgrade to the correct version of Flash, it upgrades and installs properly, but when I re-launch the program I was trying to use I ge the SAME MESSAGE to download Flash Player again, and of course it still does not work.
Is this because I am using their free version of Flash Player and actually need to purchase another version to get these very small applications to run.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached at [email address removed]

To assist us in quickly understanding your problem, please follow these guidelines when posting:
Specify your operating system (including 32bit or 64bit edition)
Specify your web browser and version (including 32bit or 64bit edition)

Hello,
Please provide the following two log files:
/Users/<YourUserID>/Library/Logs/FlashPlayerInstallManager.log
/private/var/log/install.log
You can use Finder to get to these, or the Console app (/Applications/Utilities/Console.
The files will most likely be too large to post here in a comment. Please provide them using instructions here How to share a document.
Thank you.

Hi, Was this the Mac Troubleshooting Guide with screenshots that you used? If so, you may want to check it again as it was updated today 12/13/10. If not, you may want to review it.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=fnctn,
You can also test with each browser at this site and let me know if you can see the Flash logo animate and the version of Flash Player that you have Installed will be displayed. Let me know the results of that.
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Also, when you reply, please list what browser(s) you use.
Do you know where the Flash files are located? I am not as familiar with Mac as the PC, so hopefully you can help me help you:-)
Thanks,

Adobe Flash Player will not run since installing Firefox 25.0 upgrade

Windows 7 Home Premium X64.
My question says it all. Within Firefox's own system it says the flash player is update and enabled. Any place I go today and want to play something the page posts "Get Adobe Flash Player". I upgraded to Firefox 25.0 just before I retired for the night. Today Flash Player will not work.
Within Tools>Options>Content the option to turn java off and on is no longer there. I believe you folks have CREATED A BIG BUG!!!!!

Your statement: "I missed that Firefox 25 turned on "click to play" as the default behavior for plugins. I assume you prefer to have Flash run automatically if you've approved the site in NoScript."
I didn't read anything anywhere, nor was I aware of the fact that Firefox may have changed "my" plugin settings, or broken them. How many users do you think there might be that have NoScript set this way for one or more sites.
I'm just saying it might have been nice to have been forewarned about this - obviously something that was KNOWN that the update was going to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flash Player will not install thinks it is already installed

Win 7 64bit
I can not open a PDF in the latest reader. It tells me flash needs to be installed. I go to the adobe site and flash player will not install stating it is already installed. The active x widget says not player is installed. It is not listed in managed add ons and is not listed in installed programs.
How can I install the program?

Some PDFs (with Rich Media Content) require the Flash Player plugin (NPAPI) to be installed.
I do not quite understand what you have installed, and what not. I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely using the uninstaller from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
then download and run both installers from
Flash Player for Internet Exporer - ActiveX
Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI

Flash player will not install blank installer, full download? tool remove remnants of flash?

Windows 7 64bit, Firefox,Explorer, Chrome
For the longest time flash player will not install (updates for upgrades).
If I go to the main page I can download the 1mb file then open it up and the installer box opens but never does anything and is just black except the top bar. I can't even close it out. I have to "end task" it. I has been going on for a year or so. I usually have to find a link to the full installer version but can't find it anymore.
Is there a tool to remove all remnants of Adobe flash player?
Link to full installer version of player?
I tried uninstalling all versions but still the same problem
Thanks

The installer works for the vast majority of people. We serve up something like 1.2 billion installs every months, so a failure rate of even 0.0001 is > 100,000 people. We're not seeing that kind of traffic about this issue.
As the installer isn't dependent on Flash Player, and it doesn't leave anything around beyond a log file, it's unlikely that blowing Flash Player completely away would resolve anything, and it sounds like your efforts bear that out. There's something underneath us that's not working right. With Mac, it's usually corrupted NVRAM settings, but I'm not sure what it is on Windows. My guess is that it's related to the graphics subsystem, but it's not something that I've seen happen under lab conditions, and we'd need to debug it to get a definitive answer.
So, I have a couple suggestions in order of least to most effort:
Switch to Google Chrome.
Flash Player is a built-in component, so there's nothing separate to download or maintain. Updates happen automatically as part of the standard Chrome update process, so you never have to touch another Adobe installer if you don't want to.
Scan your hard disk for errors, run the Windows system file checker, and make sure you have the latest graphics drivers for your system
Check your hard disk for errors in Windows 7
Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files
Back up all of your stuff (ideally to both a disk and an online backup service for redundancy), wipe the machine and do a fresh install of Windows

Flash Player 11 won't install, XP

Hi, Since being prompted to update Flash Player, I now cannot install it ( FP11) . Windows XP Home edition SP3. Pentium 4. No problems with earlier versions and updates, but now I have no Flash Player at all. Error message is 'Flash Player ActiveX control could not be registered', and installation stops.
I am logged in as an administrator, have tried safe mode as Administrator, have even downloaded SubInACL.msi and run reset_fp10.cmd in the hope it (SubInACL) would run on Home Edition. It didn't.
I've switched off the Windows firewall, enabled the scripting etc. in IE 8, as suggested in another thread
I've tried all the FP downloads suggested in your help, saved and run directly. All come up with the same error message and the installation stops. Hope you can help. Thank you.

Well.... Today was Eureka day. I finally got past the Active x failing to register by downloading Microsoft Download manager and then the .msi version of the FP 11 installer. Follow the links in the following reply to someone else to get to the right file to download (for my problem, anyway). :-

I Just found the answer long awaited for and it is in the shortcuts listed beside this question posted on the right and I will put the link here for whoever runs in similar situation.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4788425#4788425
It will bring you to download the full active X version afterwhat you can download the normal latest flash player version and it will register correctly.
Well, the second suggestion in the answers you'll see on the link was the one that worked. Many thanks to all who helped. Yippee!
