I lost flash player so tried to reinstall but got error messge the IE has to close?

I lost flash player so tried to install again but got message that IE had to close.  No other windows were open??

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Sometimes application are still running on background, not visible to users, you need to close them using "Windows Task Manager"
To close such programs use the Windows Task Manager.  To start Task Manager, take any of the following actions:
Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and then click Task Manager.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC.
Right-click an empty area of the taskbar, and then click Task Manager.
Once the Task Manager is running, select the Processes tab.  On older Windows version you may need to click on the Process Name or Image Name header to sort the process names.
Now right-click on every process that the Flash Player installer needs to close (e.g. iexplore.exe), then select End Process.
Thanks,
Vikram

    Hello,
    You'll need to install Flash Player 10.3.183.90, the last version supported for OS X 10.5.8. Download the archive zip file, http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.90_archive.z ip, and extract the contents. Then navigate inside the 10_3_r183_90 directory and use the file named flashplayer_10_3r183_90_mac_intel.dmg.

    Help anybody have a similar situation ,specifically error code 2001?

    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

  • Flash Player seems to install fine but still doesn't work

    I hope someone can help me.

    Well, is there any Adobe programs you don't have? LOL, maybe I should have asked that:-) Thanks for the info. It is revealing and curious as well.
    You have the Adobe Flash Player plugin (non-IE browsers-FF), but not the Shockwave Flash Control in your browser plugins.
    You don't have the Adobe Flash Player ActiveX in Add/Remove, but you DO have the Shockwave Flash Object Control in your IE browser. Hmmmm How or why that happened, I don't know. Some glitch when Uninstalling/Installing FP, I would guess.
    I see the Adobe download Manager as well (DLM) and can see that you would need that for certain Adobe programs. Since Flash Player is a browser plugin(ActiveX for IE and Plugins for the non-IE browsers) and the download is under 3MB it is better not to use it. However, I am more interested in the addons that the DLM used for FP Installs.
    Go to Tools, Manage addons and look under "Show"(light text) in all categories and see if you have a getplus, get_atlcom Class or a DLM Control listed. Look in the Toolbar & Extensions also.
    Do the same with FF, plugins, addons and extensions.
    On the FlashPlayerTrust, go back to your Flash files, right click on it and open and see what files are listed.
    Let me know on the above and did I ask you what Anti-Virus you use? If not, let me know that also.
    Thanks,

    Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.

    Hi Terry, A post is the message that anyone has just typed in. When you replied to me, that was your post. I am replying to you so this is my post. Think of it as sending an email or mailing a letter at the "post" office.

  • Lost Flash Player atfer install Windows 8.1

    After installing Windows 8.1 , I have lost Flash Player. Adobe refuses downloading of Flash Player. What to do?

    That was BEFORE 8.1.... trust me.
    IE for Windows 8 has Flash Player embedded by Microsoft and it has NEVER been downloadable from here. The Flash Player Plug-in (for all other browsers) is downloadable and installable on 8 & 8.1, but it ISN'T the one for Internet Explorer.
    Your problem is most likely the fact that Windows 8.1 automatically installs IE11, and it's a "rolling train wreck". Literally thousands of web 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.

  • My automatic adobe flash player installer tried to install google chrome and did not allow opt out

    my automatic Adobe Flash Player updated tried to install Google Chrome without giving me the opporltunity to opt out?

    I witnessed this myself two nights ago while testing an upgrade in Windows 7.
    It HAS been reported to development, but... like 99% of the people here, we (myself and the MVP user who reported it) are just Adobe users like you, so reporting it with screenshots was the best we can do.
    I use Chrome myself, but only for testing webpages I build, and I've never used their toolbar, because it's an open portal for malware... hence the report filed with DEV.
    All we can do now is cross our fingers and hope they have it worked out by the next update cycle.

  • Why does Chrome insist Adobe Flash Player is out of date, but I have the latest version?

    , but I have the latest version available to my OS.
    I have tried uninstalling, disabling plugins, reinstalling and enabling.
    I have tried updating via Adobe website over 10 times.

    I have tried renaming the system plugin in the Library and pasting in Chrome package contents
    I don't have two flash plugins in the chrome:plugins

    Yes, it is indeed! Sorry I missed you're on OS X 10.5.8.
    I reinstalled Chrome...
    Can you confirm it is version 21.0.1180.79? It's important you confirm you're at the latest version of Google Chrome too.
    ... and I have the same issue of the Flash player not automatically updating.
    I would repeat myself... "available updates for Adobe Flash Player are automatically included in Chrome system updates".
    Chrome automatically updates when new versions of Flash Player are available. The integrated Google Chrome Flash plug-in cannot be uninstalled using the Flash Player uninstaller. You can only enable or disable the integrated plug-in.
    Therefore, as it's showing you're at the latest version 10.3.183.23, it would appear it is an issue 'internal' to Chrome's system updates; reason why I had referred you to their support, or alternativelly, post to their forums.
    However, you can try Adobe's Help page (for Mac) here >

    And alternativelly (Flash Player with Google Chrome) here >

  • Flash Player and Youtube not Working but Vimeo does?

    Hi guys,
    We are currently deploying Windows 7 out to all Staff and Student PCs, we've had it on our IT Department's PCs for the past year and have had no issues with Flash Player and Youtube.
    However, a Tutor reported that when they go to YouTube and select a video it buffers, plays a second or so and then goes to 'An Error Occurred, Please Try Again Later'.
    If we disable Shockwave Flash Object it redirects to the HTML5 website and that works fine.
    Software:
    OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit
    CPU: Various (Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel i5, Intel Xeon E5
    RAM: 2-4GB DDR2, 4GB DDR3,
    Browser: IE10, Mozilla Firefox v19 and v24
    Adobe Flash Player ActiveX: v11.8.800.175
    Adobe Flash Player Plug-in: v11.8.800.168
    Diagnostics:
    Tried completely uninstalling Adobe Flash Player, restarting PC, installing Adobe Flash Player
    Tried Adobe Flash Player Beta
    Tried disabling Hardware Acceleration
    Uninstalled IE10, Tried on IE8, Same Issue
    Tried removing all Computer and User Policies
    Checked if it was a VLAN issue but is happening on both 10.32.x.x (student) and 10.64.x.x (staff)
    Tried on IE9 same issue
    Scrolling along the seek bar at the bottom shows all of the stills fine.
    Enable ActiveX Filtering resolves the issue but that's just because it goes to HTML5 too.
    Any help is appreciated
    Andy

    I am also facing similar issue. I tried literally all solutions and then finally gave up and reinstalled windows 7 after clean format,
    Immediately after fresh OS installation,Youtube just worked once with flash player for hardly 3 to 5 seconds and then crashed with error "an error occured please try again later- Learn More"
    Tried reloading that same youtube video which initially worked for 5 seconds,but on second try it won't load at all.Tried all the other videos as well and same result,they won't play even for one second and same error "an error occured.."
    Scrolling along the seek bar of stuck youtube video shows vid's still images just fine but video won't play at all.
    Tried it with firefox,IE,Chrome and same result.
    Youtube works fine with Html5 player.
    Until 5 days back everything was working just fine, maybe either flashplayer got updated or Youtube changed anything which is causing this problem.
    I even did a clean windows 8 install on another pc and that pc is also showing same symptoms.

    by installing from within Firefox, Internet Explorer has its own version (Active-X).

    After the download,
    #bring up the download manager ("Ctrl+J") and start your installs. As soon as the install comes up,
    #close Firefox with '''File > Exit''' or "Firefox" button > Exit. Give Firefox some time to close.
    #If install does not proceed, '''terminate "firefox.exe"''' and '''"plugin-container.exe"''' from the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.

    #*Make sure that "firefox.exe" is no longer running -- if it is still running then terminate it by selecting the use "End Process" button or from context menu, and do the same for "plugin-container.exe" if it is found there.
    #proceed with the install.
    '''Warning''': this is the Adobe site and they have chosen to to provide crapware along with their own product. Only install the product you were planning to install. Do not install additional products: including -- "Free! McAfee Security Scan Plus" or "Google Chrome". Installing Google Chrome on your own and installing it because it is offered on the Adobe site are two different things.
    Find updates for your installed plugins at http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ mozilla.com/plugincheck
    -- best to use Adobe's site to really see if their plug-ins are up to date.
    Please fix your caps lock or read what you type, do you think anybody could read my answer if I typed in all caps.
    If the above fails to correct the problem, I would try uninstalling Adobe Flash from your system entirely first, from the control panel then "Programs and Features".
