I have to reinstall the flash player everytime I reboot

Once again I'm having trouble with the flash plugin. Here's my previous question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/979513?esab=a&s=&r=0&as=s I had thought I found a way to keep flash from bugging up again by simply going back to an old version and waiting for another update. Unfortunately even that isn't working any more. Now every time I reboot my system the flash player plugin no longer works. It's their on the list and it says it's active. I've updated to the newest one and I've check to see if it's in conflict with any of the other plugins, it's not. I've uninstalled and reinstall both old and new versions but nothing seems to stick now.
I may like Firefox's set up better but this is getting really annoying.

Okay, do you know why both seamonkey and opera both have flash working as well? Firefox seems to be the only one that's having these issues consistently. I've also noticed that I need to do a manual install of flash rather than use the firefox plugin updater.
And yes I do use the start menu shut down.

  • My windows 7 machine does not recognise .swf files. I have down loaded the flash player but I think.

    My windows 7 machine does not recognise .swf files. I have down loaded the flash player but I think but it is linked as a plug in with chrome and IE.  How can I get my windows to recognise the .swf files to play them.

    The downloaded file is the projector, not an installer; you need to make the file association manually:
    move the downloaded exe file to a location you can remember, e.g. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    right-click on a swf file and select Open with > Choose default program
    navigate to the folder you saved the player and select flashplayer_13_sa.exe

  • Constantly have to reinstall latest flash player

    I have a pain-in-the-***-problem!
    I'm running the latest Internet Explorer (IE8) and the latest
    flash player (on a Vista(32) platform).
    Everytime my computer has been turned off, I have to
    reinstall flash player eventhough it's activated, enabled, run as
    administrator and everything else that normally may cause it not to
    function.
    Not only do I have to reinstall FP, but I also have to
    uninstall it first before reinstall!!
    Can anyone tell me what the problem is?

  • I have to reinstall/update Flash player everyday?

    Hi I am a Mac user (MAC OSX 10.6.8) and I use safari as my main browser. (safari version 5.1.5)
    The thing is when I try to watch youtube videos, at least once a day my video just turns black, or it says 'plug-in failure'.
    I found that the solution for this is updating the flash player, but since this happens everyday I am updating flash everyday.
    Everytime I update flash player, the videos work fine.
    Last time I installed Flash player was yesterday, the latest version possible, and yet the problem occurred just now.
    When I install flash player, I do not uninstall previous versions , simply because it worked fine with them.
    Could that be the main problem?
    I'm just getting really sick of updating this everyday, force quitting all my browsers and losing all the tabs I had opened.
    Please help?

    You don't need to uninstall Flash Player before installing a new version. Because you install Flash Player everyday, it won't be an update. You are simply installing the version that's already present in your machine.
    Could you please go to the following page and let us know the Flash Player version displayed there? https://help-internal.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player. html
    Does this issue happen only with specific sites or with all the sites?
    Thanks,

  • After the upgrade to 3.6, my flash player crashes while I'm trying to play Farmville. I have tried updating the flash player. I have tried restarting the computer. Nothing is working.

    Last night, my system was still using Firefox 3.5.8. I was playing Farmville on Facebook and everything was working fine. This morning, I log onto my computer and find that I am upgraded to Firefox 3.6. I have been trying to play Farmville all morning, and the Adobe Flash Player keeps crashing. I have tried to update the Flash Player. I have tried restarting the computer. Nothing is working.
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://facebook.com

    To anyone experiencing this problem after trying the steps I posted above, try this potential solution:
    # Open Tools->Add-Ons->Plugins, find Shockwave Flash, and press Disable
    # Hold down the '''Windows logo key''' and press '''R''' to bring up the ''Run'' dialog.
    # Type '''%APPDATA%''' and press OK.
    # Open the Adobe folder
    # Right click on the Flash Player folder and press '''Rename'''. Type in ''Old Flash Player'' as the new name.
    # Go back to the Application Data or AppData folder. (On Windows XP, click '''Up''' in the toolbar. On Windows 7 or Vista, click AppData in the address bar)
    # Open the Macromedia folder and repeat step #5
    # Go back to the add-ons window from step #1, and press Enable on Shockwave Flash
    # Try Farmville, Youtube, and other affected sites to see if the problem is fixed.

  • Sick and tired of having to reinstall Adobe Flash Player everytime I restart my computer.

    I'm running the Latest Flash player 11.2on Windows 7 64bit with IE 9 and McAfee antivirus and this problem has been going on for at least a year. I keep hoping that a new version of flash player will solve the problem but after a year I am just sick of problems with Flash. (I hate Steve Jobs but I'm beginning to share his view of Flash.) Every time I start my laptop I have to reinstall Flash to view any videos or flash content on the web. I always get a message that I need to update my flash player and I have already updated it a million times. After I update it works until I restart the machine. I searched for solutions on Google, Adobe Forum and tried all the different suggestions but the problem continues. I've tried using other Antivirus programs but the problem continues. It doesn't matter if I use the 32 bit or 64 bit IE. It's always the same problem. Why can't Adobe find a solution to this problem? People have been complaining about the problem since Flash Player 9. I've experienced the problem since Flash player 10. I'm wondering if Adobe is doing it intentionally just to increase the number of downloads for the Adobe Flash player and every time I have to deselect the stupid Google bar. Maybe Adobe is just trying to make more money off Google by forcing me to reinstall two or three times a day?

    Sorry, I should have explained more.  You do indeed want to use the 64 bit installer, it's just that this installer actually installs both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Flash Player.  The 32 bit version of Flash Player is kept in the syswow64\macromed\flash folder and the 64 bit version is in system32\macromed\flash.
    I'm a bit concerned that this might not help, given that you see the same behavior for both 32 and 64 bit versions of IE, but doing a clean install can't hurt and should hopefully fix the install log issue I see in the reports you sent me.
    If you can, please generate another set of logs after doing the uninstall and folder/file deletions.

  • Re-install adobe flash player everytime i restart the computer

    Hello,
    i found a thread in the ADOBE forum where a user reported he had to reinstall adobe flash player everytime he restarts his computer. I am having the same problem, can you please walk me through a solution?
    thanks

    Hi,
    I registered just so I could try to help with this problem. I LITERALLY was having the same exact problem for a long time. I finally found a solution. Here is what I did:
    *If Using Firefox:
    1. Start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding the Shift Button and double clicking the firefox browser icon. It should give you the options to "Start in Safe Mode" or "Reset Firefox". - Start in "Safe Mode".
    2. Download the newest flash player from adobe's website.
    3. Download the Adobe Flash UNISTALLER from Adobe as well.
    4. Close the browser and run the Adobe Flash Player UNISTALLER.
    5. Once complete, locate "C:\Windows\System32" folder on your C: drive.
    6. Find the folder called "Macromed" and DELETE the entire folder.
    7. RESTART YOUR COMPUTER.
    8. Once computer starts back up, hold the SHIFT button and double on the Firefox icon to launch it. This time when presented with the option to start in "Safe Mode" or "Reset Firefox", click "RESET FIREFOX".
    9. Once it completes, close the browser and RESTART YOUR COMPUTER AGAIN.
    10. Once it starts back up, install the Adobe Flash Player. When that is finished. RESTART your computer one last time. ***This last time is to verify that after your computer is turned off and back on, the flash player will still work.****
    11. When your computer starts back up, open the firefox browser NORMALLY and go to a site like youtube that uses flashes. If the videos play correctly and you dont receive a message about installing flash player,......CONGRATULATIONS!!! PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
    12. ****OPTIONAL!!!**** - Go to firefox addons and check to make sure all of your plugins are up to date. You should see adobe flash player in the list as up to date. If so, restart your computer one last time, start the browser agin and check your plugins once more. If they are still up to date, you're problem is officially solved.
    If this solved your problem, please let people know. Look at the date I posted this reply. Its still been happening long after you first started this forum.

  • Mac Safari message: To view this content, you need the latest version of the Flash Player. Adobe TV

    How do i get past this message?
    To view this content, you need the latest version of the Flash Player. Adobe TV uses the Open Source Media Framework (OSMF) to deliver a superior video experience. Please upgrade your Flash Player to version 10.2 to benefit from this technology.
    I am running Mac OS X 10.10.3 with the latest Safari version 8.0.5.
    I have uninstalled and removed cache and reinstalled the Flash Player 17 many times, but still get this message when i try to view a video in Adobe TV. 
    I have version 17 of Flash player installed but the Adobe TV is asking me to upgrade to v10.2.

    Try using a different browser and/or be sure to install and enable the Flash Player plugins for your browser.

  • Having to reinstall Adobe Flash Player over and over and over....,

    I've ignored this problem for a while now and I really want to get this over with. It's really starting to piss me off.
    So I have to download adobe flash player over and over because Steam tells me "You will need to Install the latest Flash plugin to view this page properly" (I'd like flash player to work so I could watch trailers from the Steam window instead of searching up trailers on my browser.) So I do and maybe in about a few days I have to reinstall another flash player. But what's weird is when Steam's flash player doesn't work I can watch Youtube videos just find on Firefox and Internet Explorer.

    Try uninstalling it this way first.

  • The flash player doesn't work on my IE9

    I have a windows 7 - 64 bit operating system. The flash player doesn’t work on my IE9 and it does work on Google Chrome. I have tried uninstalling the flash player and re installing the player. The download file doesn’t download when I try downloading through IE9and the file fails to initialize when I download the flash player for IE9 through google chrome. My antivirus software McAfee is not working because of the flash player and other softwares like yahoo messenger . Please help.

    Assuming you've checked to make sure that Shockwave Flash is enabled in IE's addons manager and you do not have ActiveX filtering enabled, Could you check to see if you have the following Windows update installed?
    KB2670838 – Platform Update for Windows 7 x64
    If so, please uninstall it and try Flash Player out again.
    Thanks,

  • Installing flash player everytime the pc is turned on.

    I have to reinstall flash player everytime I use the laptop. Today I turned on the laptop tried to do the usual reinstal and kept getting the message to close internet explorer. I did so but keep getting the same message over and over. How do I resolves these issues please? It is getting rather frustrating now

    I knew you'll stop frustrating if you install Google Chrome browser. We're in the same boat, been there first and now wishing you to enjoy your Flash movies. Remember, once in a while -- just click About Google Chrome to automatically get NEW update.  Ciao!

  • Why is it everytime I log on I have re-install Adobe Flash Player Im running Vista  Internet 9

    Why is everytime I log on ..I have to re-install Flash Player..this has been a issue for over a month
    Im running Internet 9 with Vista

    I am sorry to ask this: why do you "have to" install Flash Player every time you log on?  Does it get uninstalled when you are logged off?
    Until we get to the bottom of this, can you try a clean install as described in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315
    If that does not fix your issue, can you tell us if you use 32-bit or 64-bit Vista?
