Help with using flash player- windows vista

Hi There, really hope someone is kind enough to help me, I
have only a few strands of hair left on my head through pure
frustration!!!
I have downloaded flash player from the website following all
the restarting prompts and changing the security settings that are
suggested in adobes troubleshooting text but I still cant use it
and I am not getting the animation that it says you will have if
you have succesfully downloaded, but it is showing up on my system
as being installed!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, Take a look in the Safari browser plugins and make sure the Shockwave Flash plugin is Enabled.
Using Safari go to this test site and let me know if you can see the Flash Player logo animate(spin-RedF) and what version of Flash Player is displayed.

I need help with Adobe Flash Player, PLEASE!

I have been on multiple site trying to play games or watch videos (e.g. YouTube) and keep getting an error message saying I have to install Adobe Flash Player in order to play/view. I have done this multiple times and currently have Flash Player 11 ActiveX and Flash Player 11 Plugin. What more do I need to do because it still won't let me watch the video or play the games!
PLEASE HELP ME!
Additional info: I just wound up downloading Google Chrome (but don't like it) and don't have the same problem. So, it's only happening when I am trying to do all this on Internet Explorer 9.

Help with Adobe Flash Player 12 IE 8.1 64 Bit

I am having a problem with the Adobe Flash Player 12 for IE 8.1 64 bit. I have tried it with You Tube videos and still not working properly. Can anyone assist me?

Flash Player for IE on Windows 8 & 8.1 is mebedded by Microsoft.
You can't:
Download it
Update it
Upgrade it
Repair it
Uninstall it
from here.
It can ONLY be updated via Windows Update.
IE11 is another can of worms.
Microsoft intentionally screwed up the "user-Agent Strings", which websites use to identify the browser and provide the proper content for it. Since the pages can't recognize the browser, 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.

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/

I need help with new flash player constantly crashing

Ever since updating the flash player it is constantly crashing. I have updated firefox also which constantly crashes. Firefox is pointing the finger at the flash player..... I need someone who will work with me step by step as i am not a computer tech. The two websites i visit that the flash player crashes on is www.myspace.com while playing mobsters and mafia wars, and www.smallworlds.com which is a 3d interactive " chat room ". I have tried removing the flash player and going with an older version, but it continues to kick me to the updated version...Please help!

Hi, thanks for your Flash file info. You have the SWFlash.ocx that is old. Right click on that one and Remove/Delete it.
Your SWF plug-in is correct as well as the remainder of your Flash files. The SWFlash.ocx that needs removed is conflicting.
The Windows Firewall should be used. Now I see that you have not updated to the Windows XP Service Pack 3, which is the latest. I would recommend that you do that. Many improvements and security issues are included in that. You can go to the Microsoft site for that.
After you do that, Microsoft has the Microsoft Security Essentials which is a free program and has the Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware features. It does not include a Firewall nor are there any browser add ons that would conflict with your browser, other add ons or Flash Player.
I'm not sure of the system requirements for the MSE, but check. You may need the updated Service Pack first. Before you Install the MSE tho, make sure no other anti-virus is still Installed. The one you mentioned needs Uninstalled and you need to check if they have an Uninstaller and do that first.
Whether you do any of what I suggested or not, you need to Remove that SWFlash.ocx. I would reboot(restart) your computer afterwards.
P.S. Firefox has updated to 3.6.8 and you can do that anytime.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Need help with Adobe Flash Player

Youtube and several other websites can still identify that my flash player is up to date. Although, many websites including CNN, Aplia, and Southparkstudios do not recognize my flash player. I tried trouble shooting, reseting my axtiveX filter, updating my computers graphic card, ad enabling my flash player. I am currently using a windows 8 computer, but my flahs player does not work in the metro IE, desktop IE, chrome, or firefox. I recently installed Norton Antivirus, and I question if there is any possibility that it could of corrupted my flash player...but troubleshootig with Norton Antivirus was not successful either. So, I guess my question is how do I get my Flash Player to work sufficiently to my needs? I would really appreciate some advice on how to get my flash player to work on all websites.
Thank you for your time
- Jim

Accrding to your post, you're dealing with three separate Flash Plugins.
1. ActiveX - for IE, (embedded by Microsoft - can't be updated or repaired from any file here - functions independently of the other two plugins)
2. Flash Player standard plugin - for Firefox (functions independently of the other two plugins)
3. "PepperFlash" - for Chrome (embedded in the browser by Google - like ActiveX, it can't be updated or repaired from any file here. Like The others, it functions independently of the other two)
Usually when something is causing the exact same problem with all three different plugins (two of which have been modified by second parties)... it's outside of the browsers.
First, I'd recommend creating a new (admin) account and try installing/running the Flash Player under that account. If it works, then it's an issue with your account. If not, it's either in the OS or another app, like your Norton.

Help with Adobe Flash Player Installation

I need help. I have tried several time to download Adobe Flash Player to my computer. But when I get to about the 50% point of the installation I get a message that says "Please close the following programs to continue.....and a small box appears with the words "internet explorer". I make sure that I am not on the internet (close internet explorer by clicking the X in upper right corner), and then hit the RETRY button....but the same message keeps appearing. What do I need to do to at this point so I can complete the installation? Even though I know that the internet is not open...what can I do to make sure that Internet Explorer is not open?

You need to close all iexplore.exe instances; use the Task Manager's Processes tab.

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 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

Installing Flash Player - Windows Vista Home Premium - stalled at 50%

I would like to get help as I have been trying to install Adobe Flash Player for months, each time a video I select requires it and
the system takes me to the prompts to install, it gets 50% installed and then it says it can't continue because Internet Explorer is open.
Therre are no windows opened, and I have the recommended Scripting enabled in Internet Options (troubleshooting tip) but
I still can't get past this point and its frustrating.

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one (or both) of the following links and selecting "Save target as"(IE) or "Save link as"(other browsers).
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Save the file(s) to your downloads folder.
Reboot.
Before running anything else, open the downloads folder and run the installer(s).
