Help please, Flash Player still won't work

I posted a question a few weeks ago but have received no answers and I still can't find a solution to my problem, it is driving me crazy as there are so many sites that rely on Flash Player and I can find no way round it.
My question is as follows: I am able to uninstall and install Flash Player 'successfully' but as soon as I need to use it I am informed that Flash Player is not installed and advised to install it (again), but this doesn't help. I am running Windows 7 64-bit and IE 9 (although this is not a 64-bit version) and have been able to run Flash Player until recently. It has now stopped working though. I have tried the entire list of options on how to start it running you provide at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_7__Disable_Fl ash_Player_hardware_acceleration and at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_heading_6, but all without success. The only thing I was unable to do was disable Flash Player hardware acceleration as right clicking on the box did not provide me with a "settings" option.
Please help me as I have hit a brick wall and can find no other suggestions on how to fix this problem. I have hunted in every forum and all the suggestions are the same and I have tried them all over and over without success. What else can be causing this problem? Whenever I install I am told the installation is successful but then told I need to download Flash Player again whenever I came to use it.
Flash player is enabled, Active X Filtering is disabled, all Flash Player browsing data is deleted, Flash Player cache is removed plus I have tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing works. The only thing of note is that on the pages referred to above and a number of others where boxes are supposed to display the version of Flash Player installed or an error message, for me the boxes appear to be simply grey boxes. Please help

Still have this problem and still had no response. Can no one help me !?!

Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900 60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

I have the same mini display port adapter and Belkin DVI-HDMI cable (but a Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV) so just set this up on it to see if I could duplicate your problem, unfortunately for you (but good for me) I can't.
I connected the adapter+HDMI cable before switching the HDTV on and then powered up the MBP. It (the HDTV) came up with my background right away (it's set at Mirror not extended Desktop) and when I run System Preferences/Displays get the following. Sorry but all I can confirm is that adapter+cable combination should work ...
Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys?

Help please - Flash player doesn't work, windows 7

Hi
My flash player has stopped working. I can download the latest version 10.2.152.32 and it says it has installed successfully. When I try to view a web page it either says i need the latest version and takes me back through the latest update successfully but still doesnt work or it just has an empty box with a red cross in the top left corner.
I cannot find it flash player by searching for it on my computer. I have unistalled and reinstalled it several times and it still doesn't work.
I have tried looking for it in manage addons but it is not listed, only shockwave active x which is enabled.
I have no idea what to do next. I am using windows 7 32bit.
Thanks in advance.
Paul.

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
In the flash folder in syswow64 there is: flash10n.ocx, flashinstall,flashutil10n_activex.dll and flashutil10n_activex.
I followed all of the instructions for install and uninstall on the other thread, i ran the malware that you linked to and it found some affected files whichI removed but still not able to run flash despite it saying it installed correctly.
I hope you can help, thanks.

Flash Player 12 won't work for me

I downloaded Adobe Flash Player 12 from Adobe site. I have IE and Windows 7 Premium. Computer tells me Flash Object is installed and it is enabled. It won't work for me. Adobe help page says it is either not installed or enabled, but my computer says otherwise. Can you help me get this thing running?

IE 11?

Flash player just won't work..

I am using a PC and operating on IE. I have downloaded the latest flashplayer a number of times, it says "installation complete" but then when I go to YouTube for example, it says I cannot watch videos due to not having flashplayer.
I have been through their 'help' steps on the website... but still no such luck.
Any help would be great!

Download the Flash Player uninstaller by right clicking the following link and selecting "Save Target as". Save it to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it yet.
Flash Player uninstaller
Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link and selecting "Save Target as". Save it to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it yet.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Reboot your system.
BEFORE you open anything else, locate and run the uninstaller.
When it finishes, locate and run the installer to replace Flash Player.
Then, see: Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer and ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer to make sure it's enabled and ActiveX filtering ISN'T interfering with content.
If all that fails, I'd recommend Repairing Internet Explorer

Flash Player 9 won't work with Firefox-Mac 867 dual mhz

I'm using a Mac G4 dual 867 mhz, OS 10.3.5 and can't get Flashplayer 9 to work on Firefox. I have the 10.3.9 update but can't get it to install. Is the problem the OS version or something else?

Gary,
Thanks for quick response
"First, through IE6, verify your installed version:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about"
Doing this doesn't show installed version, as it does when I
go there from my laptop.
"Can you get to other sites? If yes, does FP work there? If
you couldn't get to the doc's website at all, it's an IE6 related
issue, not FP."
Doesn't work at Adobe either. I can get to the doc's website
but his intro page is a flash video. Get black screen and if you
right click it will say "about Flash Player 9" so I know I'm there
and FP is installed and running
"Many things can be the cause, probs w/IE6 (settings),
AV/IS/Spyware/Adware/Popup blockers, etc.. These can also affect
FP."
I tried checking the IE6 settings per stuff on the forums,
disabled AVG AV and WINXP firewall and none of that helped. Pop-up
blocker says it isn't on.
"I'm surprised that your desktop XP didn't have any FP.
Usually it does have it, but the older versions don't show up in
the Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs list. They're way down in
C:/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash folder."
Didn't look at Control Panel , just that going to web site
said we needed FP.
"If you can get to the site and ya just can't view flash, try
these things:
Then, go down to the Flash folder and see what's there. You
should have a FlashUtil9x, a Flash9x.ocx, an uninstall file and
maybe a txt file. While online as an Admn User, dbl click on the
Util9x and a "wizard" panel should appear. Follow the instructions.
Close/restart IE, test (go to the site). If no-go, reboot, go IE6
and test again.
Yes, this may get you to FP10, but your IE6 and flash will be
working."
Already did this also, the only "wizard" that comes up either
automatically updates to FP10 or does nothing. In one of your
previous threads you said it would "set" FP. What does that mean
and what screen/button/icon should I be seeing?
Anyway, one of the several times I did it, I let it install
FP10 but it didn't solve the problem.

Flash player pages won't work?

Is there a work around for adobe flash player? I can't use certain sites like farmville that require flash player and I am wondering if there is a solution app or download?

Actually, there is a workaround, but it ain't pretty, and it won't be native to the iPad. It will require a computer that you have access to (Mac or Windows). You can download a remote desktop app (RDP app for Windows, VNC for Mac) and use that to connect to your computer to play Flash games.
Outside of that, no, there is no other way.

Help with Flash Player 10 Please

If this question has already been answered I apologize I am new. I have windows Xp, and internet explorer 8. I recently went to youtube and it said that either I have Java turned off or need the new addition of adobe. My java is turned on so I uninstalled my old flash player and downloaded Adobe flash player 10. It works great. The problem is everytime I turn my computer on in the morning adobe is still installed on my computer but youtube tells me I need to download the new adobe again, so I do the process again and it works. It just seems to not work after I turn my computer off. I tried many suggestions I got when I googled the problem but nothing works. I would like to just be able to watch videos ext without having to uninstall and reinstall adobe everytime I turn my computer on. Any suggestions would be appriciated, and please keep in mind I basically computer illiterate so step by step instructions would be helpful. Thanks. Happy Thanksgiving.

Lucy, I had the same problem (along with other concommitant problems). I finally got the problem resolved by doing a secedit in Start, Run, then CMD.
Search the forum for these two posts. You will find the steps to take.
35. Aug 20, 2009 6:21 PM in response to: gumby321 This gives the basic steps.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1958062#1958062 Look about halfway down the post and you'll see the specific information for secedit that notates the spaces in the secedit command string.
Hope this works for you.

You can set Flash Player to check for updates on the Global Settings Manager panel:

I am having trouble opening up website games. I have already updated Adobe Flashplayer and Adobe Shockwave player. Still won't work.

I am attempting to play games at Shockwave.com and they won't open. I have updated Adobe Flashplayer and Shockwave player, but they still won't work. What else do I need to do to get them to work?

Hi, If your Anti-Virus has found malware, then what are their instructions on removing it? Also what are the names of the Malware and the location that it was found? Look in the log that your Anti-Virus should have to find this info.
Malware can effect not only Flash Player, but depending on what type it is other programs on your computer/system.
Is your system a 64bit? I understand you are using the 32bit browser. If you didn't find anything in the system32 location then you would have the Flash files in the SysWOW64 location.
If you don't have the Shockwave Flash Object in the manage addons, that is why Flash Player is not working.
Thanks,
