I've Tried Everything for Flash Player HELP!!

I've read all the posts on here and still can't find a solution to my problem. First of all.......under add/manage addons There is a line that says Shockwave Flash Object and it says it's Disabled. The thing is that the enable and disable button are grayed out and not just for trying to change that for flash but anything else under add ons. What is the world is the deal?
I have IE9 and have uninstalled totally Flashplayer and reinstalled as per instructions on these posts. But still when I go to certain sites it says I need to download Flashplayer.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been trying to figure this out for days! I even tried to install an earlier version of Flash Player and still won't work.

There are TWO different Flash Player Plugins for Windows -
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Are you 100% sure you installed the correct one?
Also Shockwave and Flash work together but are different plugins. You need to have Shockwave for certain Flash content, but Flash Player for ALL Flash content.

Desperate for Flash Player help

I had Adobe Flash Player installed but when I went to watch a video it said I did not have Flash Player. I redownloaded Flash Player but still nothing works. I've been trying to figure this out for 4 days and this is a major inconvenience.
Any type of help is useful!
Thanks so much!

This worked for me in the past, and was also mentioned on some one elses post. Go to System Restore, and restore your computer to a point before you installed flash player 10.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO INSTALL FLASH PLAYER FOR A MONTH!!!!

Hi
I don't mean this post to sound like a complaint and I don't want to write an essay either.
It genuinly is a request for some help.
First of all:
I used to have Flashplayer (which Flashplayer I don't know) but it worked fine. All of a sudden everywhere I went started asking me to install the latest version of Flash Player. This includes the BBC, Youtube and just about any website which was offering video - most of them (like Adobe) pretty much household names in the twenty first century. Quite clearly Adobe is BIG! Even the BBC can't operate without Adobe!
It has got to the point where I expect bus inspectors to jump out on the 192 to manchester and tell me that I can't board the bus without the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. In fact, as finding out how to install it is becoming a full time job I'm dreaming about Adobe at night and thinking about it every waking hour. I imagine that when this new version of Flash Player is finally installed it will blow my mind??
Okay so I am joking (a little). But honestly, this issue has wasted hours and hours of my time and been made worse by an Adobe website which is like a conundrum of merrygorounds. Nothing is clear and nothing seems to link to where it says it will - if it does it goes about the houses back to the beginning. I just spend half an hour (starting at the start page linked to by the BBC) from changing United States to United Kingdom / selecting Support then going through about four or five more pages looking for this support only to discover I had been led back to the beginning to change United States to United Kingdom again. I know I'm right on this matter because in the ADOBE adventure of the last month I've actually found the troubleshooting pages for Flash Player on a number of occasions (equally as madly but by different routes).
I am not a computer programer, I am a website software user. I'm currently building a site with over 1000 pages of different interlinked themes for a not for profit organisation- This still has many many mistakes but despite not getting paid a penny for it - its easier to use and understand than Adobe's - thus my USERNAME.
YOU NEED TO FIX YOUR LINKING SYSTEMS! Because getting help from a leading international software manufacturer for a product which is advertised as FREE but is ESSENTIAL for viewing active content on just about every legitimate site on the World Wide Web must be frustrating thousands if not hundreds of thousands of Adobe users. In the end it won't be good for business!
I have been trying to install FlashPlayer 10
I have uninstalled previous AdobeFP installations, Java set to allow. Permissions in registry okay.
I identified my problem through your troubleshooting page as 'FP installs okay (according to some half visible writing in a little box to the right of the screen) but still won't play. Incidentally, despite this half visible writing claiming I have successfully installed FP - the flash movie doesn't play and there is no text below it - as the dialogue suggests would appear.
Nothing WAS wrong with my registry unless the abortive attempts to install FP has corrupted them.
I have read document kb400116 (and others) and followed them to the letter.
I am using IE7 on WXP Home and McAffee Home security (nothing to do with them either).
I strongly believe (by reading through some posts on here) that the problem DOES lie with ADOBE!
Does anyone have any suggestions or should I stop paying my BBC licence?
Thanks

Try this it worked for me Pat Willener gave it to me off the site :
I have not read all you wrote, so I may have missed some points. As I understand it, you installed FP 10 on IE7, but it won't play any Flash content?
Try this
download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
close all browser windows, then run the uninstaller
download the offline ActivX installer for Internet Explorer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
close all browser windows, then run the installer

The activex control for flash player could not be registered. Please help!

Can't install flash player. Keep getting activex control for flash player could not be registered. I have tried all of the solutions provided on this forum. Running windows 7 32-bit running IE8.
Please help.

Hi, Did you use the Administrator Account? If you received that message it is usually a Permissions Issue.
We have had several reports this past week of a Virus(AntiVirus8 or AV8) that can set a Kill-bit on the very Registry Key that FP uses for that ActiveX Control.
You may want to look and see if this is perhaps the problem. This needs to be ruled out first before we proceed, because if that key has the Kill-bit, then it wouldn't matter what you do.

Please Help! I tried to upgrade Flash Player, but have older computer

Please Help! -- I tried to upgrade FLASH PLAYER, but I have an older MAC laptop OS X 10.4 = Version 4.1.3 (4533.19.4).
I need to UPGRADE Flash Player; however it's not available -- Recently, I cannot watch some videos or access particular websites.
I'm a teacher, and CAN'T AFFORD to buy a new computer at this time.
> Can Adobe Corp. please help by offering an expanded range of UPGRADE support ??

Unfortunately, if you're running OS 10.4, odds are that your Mac is a PowerPC model (-About This Mac will let you know for certain), and the newest version that will run on your system is Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and 9.0.289.0 (126 MB)
That's a direct link to the download, you can right click (or control+click) and save it to your downloads folder. Expand it with Stuffit Expander and run the 10.102.64 installer.
That's the best that can be hoped for because if your Mac is PowerPC, and I suspect it is, even Apple no longer supports it since September of 2009. The next OS X version (10.5) won't run the latest Player either. You'd need an Intel Mac with 10.6.3 or newer to use Flash Player 11.8.800.94.
PowerMax does have some really good deals on "pre owned" Macs. I've bought three from them myself over the years.

I have tried multiple times to downloand the lug in for Flash player but it won'tdownload. How do I get it downloaded?

I have tried to download flash player and the plug in for it as well but each time it says it wasn't installed. It says it needs to be installed manually but then there are no instructions to do that. How do I get this downloaded?

Sometimes the Windows installer gets too many changes queued and stops working correctly. In those cases, it usually helps to shut down and restart Windows to clear the backlog.
For future reference, the Flash player plugin should install to this folder:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash ''{based on Windows 7 64-bit}''
You want to find NPSWF32_11_9_900_117.dll

I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected. I have recently updated my email address and changed my password, but adobe will not accept. Can I get help, please, to update flash player?

I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected. I have changed my email and password and have so informed adobe, but I am still unable to install flash player update. How can I update adobe flash?

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.

When I try to watch certain videos on my ipad2 it says Thanks for trying to access Flash Player. Unfortunately it is not available for your device because of restrictions that Apple has put in place. Can any tell me what app I can download to replace it.

Use the iSwifter browser from the app store. Works for most flash content.

HELP: Flash CS5, can't publish for flash player 4

Hello!
I want to create a flash ad for google AdWords using Flash CS5.
according to the guidelines (http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=guide.cs&guide=1308145&topic =1310862&answer=176108&rd=2) I am required to publish for flash player 4:
Flash versions: All Flash ads must be published for Flash Player version 4-10.
Flash CS5 doesn't offer me to target flash player 4 in the publish settings!
how to resolve that issue?
Thanks!

I googled it! A funny thing is:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/AdWords/thread?tid=262eb148dc312b92&hl=en
Flash versions: All Flash ads must be published for Flash Player version 4-10.
It include the version 10 too right? then why do you go for flash 4?
Anyway, I will reply you if I come across a solution.

I am trying to find an offline installer for flash player plug-in.

ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered - no solutions work

I am getting the "ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" when I try to install 11 on IE9 (Windows 7 64-bit). I have tried everything that has been suggested in other posts and forums to no avail. This is driving me crazy and hindering me from work. Can someone please help? Thank you!

I just had this issue and have been searching and searching for a way to fix this issue. I have a Windows 7 64 bit system and this was happening with IE 9. But I have found the solution.
Go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html and follow these instructions. This worked for my system and I was able top install the newest flash with no problems.
Make sure you are logged into a Windows Administrator account. If you are not, you will not be able to use SubInACL.
Download SubInACL from the Microsoft Download Center.
Follow the installation instructions. Make sure you install SubInACL (subinacl.exe) to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools.
Download the reset_fp10.zip file.
Open the fp10.zip file and extract the reset_fp10.cmd file to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\.
Both this file and SubInACL (subinacl.exe) must be in this directory.
Double-click reset_fp10.cmd. A command window will open, and SubInACL will run.
Do not use the machine while SubInACL is running.
After SubInACL finishes, you will see a prompt "Press any key to continue".
Install Flash Player from the Flash Player download page.
To confirm that your installation succeeded, visit the About Flash Player page. At the top of the screen, you should see a message that reads "Adobe Flash Player Successfully Installed."

Is there an archive page for Flash Player plugins for PORTABLE versions of web browsers?

Is there an archive page for downloads of Flash Player plugin installers for the PORTABLE versions of web browsers like Firefox ESR?
One of my web browsers is Firefox ESR 10.0.7 and it is a PORTABLE version of Firefox that apparently needs a different Flash Player plugin than the normal Flash Player plugin that regular versions of most web browsers require.
I do not want to install the most recent Flash Player plugin PORTABLE version because I've read about problems with it and that's the only version that this Firefox ESR will give me the option to download and install when I try to install the needed Flash Player plugin through the browser.
I already know about the normal Adobe Flash Player plugin archive page, linked below, but that does not have the Flash Player plugins for PORTABLE web browsers.
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
I also looked on OldApps.com and I couldn't find anything there.
Where can I download an older version, possibly one of the 11.2 Flash Player plugins from around April 2012, that will work with this PORTABLE version Firefox ESR?
I tried this question on the Mozilla Firefox help forum but no one could answer it.
Thanks for any help,

Hi Pat,
Thanks again for your reply. Your solutions seemed like they might work, especially since you were able to tell me where the Windows system Flash Player plugin files are located.
And for a minute or two, I thought it was working. In my first tests in the PORTABLE Firefox browser I'm testing with, it was actually playing some YouTube videos, but then I found that not all YouTube videos apparently rely on Flash to play... apparently some do and some do not, and I found that most of them do require Flash to play. I had tested with some of my own videos that I uploaded to YouTube in the past in my first tests today and they played just fine, but then I started testing with some other Flash YouTube videos and they would not play and I got both the yellow bar at the top of my window telling me to download and install Flash as well as the red banner across the video player that told me I needed to install Flash.
Let me also make it clear that I'm testing this on other sites with Flash videos besides YouTube, and webpages that have relatively simple animated Flash graphics, and those alternate tests are showing that the Flash Player plugin for this PORTABLE Firefox still will not work either.
So to spite everything, I tried actually downloading and installing the newest Flash Player plugin, 11.4 something, (which I was trying to avoid) through the browser, and that only proceeded to overwrite my Windows system Flash Player plugin and it DID NOT place any Flash Player plugin files in the PORTABLE Firefox plugins folder.
I had pasted in the files you recommended in to the PORTABLE Firefox plugins folder, and I actaully included ALL the files from that Windows system Flash plugin folder for this test, but unfortunately that didn't work, and even after I tried changing the name of that one file, it still didn't work.
And I am closing and re-opening the browser in between each of these steps in my test.
So here, below, I'm including an email letter that I've now written to a Tor Browser support email address where I had been corresoponding previously. The "Tor-Firefox" web browser is the PORTABLE Firefox ESR web browser that I've been referring to. This is what I wrote, which pretty much sums up everything I've tried and been unsuccessful with so far...
Hello Tor Browser help staff,
I've now tried everything and I cannot get ANY Flash content to play in this Tor-Firefox ESR web browser, even though I've tried installing the Flash player plugin that this browser asks for when I'm on a YouTube page (and even though this computer already had a current Flash Player plugin installed previously).
Let me make it clear that privacy is not important to me right now during this quest to make the Flash Player plugin work with this Tor browser... I can reset any settings for maximum privacy later when I go back to that purpose for using Tor... right now, I'm just trying to make the Tor browser play Flash content.
So even though I've UNCHECKED the Torbutton>Preferences>Security Settings>Disable plugin during Tor usage box, and I installed a new Flash player plugin THROUGH this browser, and I even set it to allow all scripts because I thought maybe that was complicating things, IT STILL WILL NOT PLAY FLASH CONTENT OF ANY TYPE.
Now, this, explained below, could be part of the problem that I'd like to ask for your help or SOMEONE's help with there in your department...
If I go to the Tor Browser folder on my hard drive at C:>Tor Browser>FirefoxPortable>Data>plugins there are NO Flash plugin files that show up in that folder even after I install a new Flash Player plugin THROUGH this browser... I believe that is why it will not play Flash content.
All it does when I install a Flash Player plugin through this Tor browser is to overwrite my Windows 7 system Flash Player plugin, but it does not actually place any Flash Player plugin files in the C:>Tor Browser>FirefoxPortable>Data>plugins folder, so that's why this PORTABLE version of the Firefox ESR browser will not play any Flash content... and it doesn't work from the Windows system Flash Player plugin the way that my normal Firefox (NON-TOR) web browser does. My other Firefox web browser sees the the Windows system Flash Player plugin just fine and it does play Flash content correctly.
There is, however, one text file that comes stock inside the Tor browser plugins folder and when it is opened it says, "Place Firefox plugins in this directory (Flash, Shockwave, etc)".
So with some advice from someone on the Adobe help forum, I tried copying the Flash Player plugin files from the Windows system folder at C:>Windows>System32>Macromed>Flash in to the Tor browser plugins folder at C:>Tor Browser>FirefoxPortable>Data>plugins, and that still didn't work.
Note that I am closing and re-opening the Tor browser between each of these tests.
So I then followed some further advice from the expert on the Adobe help forum and I changed the name of the main Flash Player plugin file that I had copied and pasted in to the Tor browser plugins folder from "NPSWF32_11_4_402_278.dll" to "NPSWF32.dll", and that still did not work... note that I left all the other files that I copied and pasted from the Windows system Flash plugins folder with the same name they originally had... I tried only changing that one Flash plugin file name, as instructed by the expert on the Adobe help forum.
I also tried posting a question about this on the Mozilla Firefox forum, but no one there is able to answer this question.
What the problem seems to be is that when this Tor-Firefox ESR 10.0.7 browser installs a Flash Player plugin, it just installs it to the Windows system folder (the same way that the normal (non-Tor) Firefox browser does) and NOT into the Tor-Firefox plugins folder C:>Tor Browser>FirefoxPortable>Data>plugins, as would be needed for it to be able to play Flash content.
No matter what I do, whenever I try to view a YouTube video or any Flash video in this browser, or any Flash graphic content at all, I get the yellow bar at the top of the page that says "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page - Install Missing Plugins" and there is a banner displayed where the Flash content is supposed to be that says, "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback - Get the latest Flash Player".
And as I explained at the top of this email, I have already installed and re-installed the Flash Player plugin on this computer multiple times, including doing it directly through this Tor-Firefox ESR browser itself.
So can ANYONE there tell me how to get the correct Flash Player plugin files in to the Tor-Firefox browser plugins folder at C:>Tor Browser>FirefoxPortable>Data>plugins, and where do I get those files? Everything I've tried, which is pretty extensive, has not worked, and it seems that someone there should know about this.
Thanks for your help.

I keep getting time out error messages when trying to install flash player

I've put a new install of Win 7 64 bit pro onto a new hdd. All other s/w has worked fine and not given me any issues except for adobe flash player. If I just install FP 11 it installs ok. Issue happens when I try to install the "other" version for Steam. The install screen stops at 11%, shoots up to 47%, then I get a timeout error message. If I uninstall and install the Steam version 1st it works then the regular version gets the same timeout error. I have folllowed all advice from previous threads on this topic such as disabling firewall (I use Panda), a clean adobe install using the flash player uninstall program and removing reader as well then going through the registry and removing all mention of adobe, etc, etc.
I found a partial way around this. I installed the Steam version of flash player, then found a website that I could download flash player 10 executable from. I was able to run that and get both versions of flash player going on my system. Then the flash player went and found the update to version 11. I've just tried to install that and I end up with the exact same error messages all over again.
Is there website that I can download the executable file for flash player 11 from or a link to it on the adobe website?

I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

The activex controls for flash player could not be registered

the activex controls for flash player could not be registered
i have had this problem for a while and cannot seem to get around it please post anyreliable suggestions

Just to add some additional misery to this thread. I have this exact same issue. Windows 7.
The issue started several weeks ago, when a flash update failed to install. Everything seemed fine other than every reboot, this flash update would fail (and in fact would "hang"), but flash itself continued to work.
Yesterday, it stopped completely. It said flash wasn't installed. I've tried:
1. Completely uninstalling flash (it is not in Add/remove programs) but using the techniques and videos offered by Adobe to remove the files, using their uninstaller, etc.
2. Perform the fix as outlined in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987370 which including installing SubACL, the batch file, etc. The batch file ran successfully, but did not solve the problem.
3. I've tried Windows System restore, but it doesn't seem to go back far enough.
4. I've tried the fixit identifed above in this thread and while it solves certain problems, still doesn't solve my issue.
5. I've tried installing using the stand alone EXE and MSI from Adobe.
6. I've tried the 11.9 beta.
None of these have worked and all result in the "failed to register" error. I'm currently using the flash built into Google Chrome as I needed to have some working flash component.
Anyone else have any ideas whatsoever short of a Windows reinstallation?

The Active X control for Flash Player could not be registered

The only problem i seem to be having is with the yahoo instant messanger (trying to play the music player) a pop up comes up with a Internet explorer installer add-on for adobe flash player 10. I have this already installed on my computer.

Is there somthing wrong with internet explorer cause i never use it. The only browser i use is Firefox ( i dont even want IE) I dont even think its installed on my computer any more. its missing from control panel>uninstall programs. Is this the problem.
Please any help would be great

Please do not post the same problem multiple times!
