Help with installing Flash Player 10.1 in IE7

Hello All -
I have been having issues installing Flash Player 10.1 in IE7. I have pretty much tried everything to install this into IE7. I was able to install Flash Player 10.1 in Firefox with no issues at all. I have tried to install it through the Adobe Download Manager - it downloads to 100% and then I receive a Error:Installation failed message under Progress. I also tried to install Flash Player through the manual installer - I run that install file and then receive the error that says "The ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered. In the Troubleshoot Flash Player installation page on Adobe - I have tried every single remedy that they list under this error message but to no avail. Any ideas? I am running Windows XP SP3 and IE7. I also tried IE8 earlier in the day with the same result so just downgraded back to IE7.
Thanks
Pat

I tried all solutions but one posted in adobe support. I am local administrator but IE security settings are set by group policies and buttons in tools security setting are grayed out.
After three days with "The ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" message I tried registering the activeX control manually.
Bingo! that made the trick.
So open a DOS window, type "regsvr32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx" -first check if this directory exists and contains the Flash10d.ocx (no quotes needed) and you should receive a confirmation that it registered correctly.
I must say that I've tried so many ways that I cannot repeat the correct order before this has worked ;-(
Hope it works for you all

I have a simirar problem on linux operation system. Using
version 7. One page didnt work because the version was too old. And
when i force to load it i got a lot of object missing or they
havent got right properties. Now i have reinstalled the system and
some a bit different problem appeared Onsome buttoms i can only see
a first letter. Text in chat window is not appearing. If i clok a
few times on some buttons web browser freezes. I suspect that is
the problem with too old version or improper instalation. I
installed some old plugins too before installing new one.
Try to run OS as administator. Try flash if it is working.
If it is:
find where flesh player is installled and check permission
attributes there.
try to find out what kind of devices flash is using and
cgange permissons to them.
I dont know how is mac os consisted. I suspect it has also a
/dev folder as linux.

Help with installing flash player

Hi...I'm so confused on this thing here. I've
installed this more than 5 times now. First I'll mention that I
needed this because I enter a contest daily and it called for this
download. Now I also clean my computer regularly and after I do
clean my computer it seems to not work. Like its almost gone or
something. So then I have to try and reinstall and it never works.
I end up having to go thru th process of searching for it and
deleting it and then refinding it and installing it. Just a few
questions tho...why does this seem to get deleted when I clean my
system? And after I clean my system why is it so hard to reinstall
this? And how do I just get it to stay put when I clean my system
so I don't have to go thru this? And I don't know if its just me
but it seems like it slows my system down a touch. Any help would
greatly be appreciated. Thank You So Much!!

since you didn't give us any useful information to help troubleshoot, I suggest you browse the FAQs to find an answer that matches your OS & hardware. If that doesn't help, browse the other questions that have been answered. If that doesn't help, post details of your hardware/software and what is happening when you get the message.

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.

Problem with installing Flash player 14 in my Macbook Pro

I tried to install Flash player 14 in my Macbook Pro, however, it stuck at "retrieving install" screen, it is supposed to be a new version, anybody has the same problem?

Yes same issue. I even tried chatting with adobe support but they did not help as I am not a paid subscriber. I have seen many others with the same issue. I hope adobe is aware of this. am trying to contact them.

Can anyone help with a Flash Player problem on the Weight Watchers site?

I'm having problems with the Weight Watchers web site. I've tried loading it with IE9, IE8, Chrome and Firefox. There's a specific area of the site (Pro Points Calculator) which continually flashes. I can't stop it and I can't access the icons underneath it. Also the Plan Manager, which contains several other tools, will not load. I've contacted WW who say their site set up "is not unique but it is rare which is why other websites will work while ours may seem not to. Please contact your web browser trouble shooting team". I've loaded the latest version of Flash Player (11), tried compatability view, cleared the cache, enabled cookies etc. all to no avail. I've even spent almost an hour on the phone with the Techguys who say it is a compatability problem between the web browsers and flashplayer. I'm stuck!! Not a techhie and don't know where to turn to for help. Anyone out there offer any ideas? (PS - am a newbie to these forums too). Cheers. Happy2golf

Do I assume correctly that the web site / page that is troubling you is not accessible to the public? In that case all we can do is guess.
What is your installed Flash Player version? See http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html#main_Find_the_Flash_ Player_version_installed_on_your_machine
What is your display adapter, device driver version & date? See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

Help with Installing flash error- metafile cannot be loaded

I read the forum on this but it ended last year and there was no response to some recent questions on this and the direct email to the Adobe rep. on there got no response.
I am having this problem with installing Flash- it gets about 30% of the way and then a message comes up that says the metafile cannot be loaded.
I am running 10.7.5 on Mac, all browser software is current. I use both Safari and Chrome. After it said Flash was out of date I tried to update but got the metafile error. So I uninstalled Flash to install it fresh but the same error came up. I tried everything recommended from the forum. I also did all the steps from the help list direct from Adobe ( deleting Flash files, folders, rebooting, etc.) The offline link Adobe provides says the "file cannot be found" so I can't download that either. So I tried the online link download, but even after doing all the steps in order etc. I still get the error when I try to install it.
I have no firewall and have no virus software running. I also tried the direct offline links that others have provided from 2013, (unfortunately they are old) in both clicking on them and also downloading by right click but they are dead links and even the download for it has no content.
Any help that is more recent than last year? If this is in the wrong place, apologies. New to the forum.

I tried all solutions but one posted in adobe support. I am local administrator but IE security settings are set by group policies and buttons in tools security setting are grayed out.

Hi eg, If you have Windows 7 the new one, then you have IE8 since it comes with it. We are only working on this one computer, right?
First of all you must be the Administrator in order to Install Flash Player, are you? You need to use that account.
Download this Flash Player Uninstaller to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download this Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Close all browsers, you only want to be looking at your Desktop. Check your system tray(the area by the clock) and disable any applications like messenger, etc. You don't want any applications there that use Flash.
Run the Uninstaller and when it is finished, restart your computer. Wait until it is completely restarted, then restart it again. When it is completely restarted, then Run the Installer. When that is finished, restart Once.
Then go to this site to test :http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Help needed installing Flash Player Update on Mac

I am trying to install a flash player update on Mac - right now the one site I'm trying to use says flash is out of date. Will not accept my adobe password, reset it through the adobe site and still will not work. Tried Chat help and agent said to reset password through the Apple screen. When I try that it asks for apple id and password but there is only a place for the password. Any suggestions.

Hi,
This is the OS (Apple) prompting for the password, not Flash Player, therefore, the password is your Apple password, not Adobe ID password. Please see What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

Then you just have to mount the DMG and run it.

Help after installing Flash Player

I just installed Flash Player 10,1,102,64 and the adobe website recognizes this. It is also listed under programs when I go to unintall programs in my control panel. However, I can't find the program to use it. It doesn't show up under programs on my computer or when I search for it. Also, I can't open videos that use it. My operating system is Windows 7 and I'm using Internet Explore 32-bit. Please help!

Hi, Flash Player is a browser plugin and works thru your browser. It won't be listed in your Program files, but in the Control Panel as you have indicated.
Go to Tools, Manage addons and look under "Show"(very light text) in All addons. Shockwave Flash Object must be Installed, Enabled and version 10.1.102.64. This is the ActiveX Control for Flash Player.
Let me know on that.
Thanks,
