IE mysteriously not running Flash?

I'm experiencing an odd issue related to Adobe Flash Player. I haven't changed anything on my system that I am aware of that would have caused this either. Here's the story:
I've been hapily using Adobe Captivate to publish courses. When I go to do the preview, it tells me I need Flash. I already have the current version of flash installed. It offers the link to Adobe's site, so I install the update.
However, many programs I use and some websites are still telling me I need Flash to view the page or output.
My installed programs indicate flash is there. I've unistalled Flash and re-installed it as well. Still, I cannot view my published PDF's from Captivate, nor can I view several web pages. I have Windows 8 and IE9. Any thoughts? It's starting to effect my job since I can't review my output files.
Any clue what's going on and why my system insists I don't have Flash? Seems like IE can't find my Flash Playe program. Also odd since I have the Adobe Master Collection loaded to my system. My IE has worked just fine running Captivate PDF's until this issue cropped up.
Any ideas?
I've followed the steps in both of these references with no results. My Flash player version is 11 and it's enabled in IE9. yet when I visit this article, I don't get the animation: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html
I also get no helpful ino from this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448
Both references suggest that if I don't see the image I don't have flash, yet my Control Panel clearly shows its there.
FINALLY!!!!
FOUND MY ANSWER. at the following threas: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Needed to disable Active X filtering via the Safety option in IE. THANKS!

Moved to Using Flash Player, as this is not related to the Flash Player Beta.
Cool, glad you were able to solve this on your own.

Too much text :/ I hate generated source - something always goes wrong and you never know what the hell
What about embedding it yourself?
Create empty HTML file, download swfobject.js: http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/downloads/list
And use this block of code. Of course, change name of swf file, width and height. Unpack swfobject.js right next to the html file.

The Flash Player is not running but it is there and it is enabled and Active X is not checked. The Player version is 16.0.0.305. I have the latest ie11 and the latest W8.1. I have used the Adobe tool to delete the Flash and subsequently I have updated or reloaded Flash using your updater. I have gone into IE options and insured that the settings are supportive of Flash. The Adobe mini Flash test program on your site says it not enabled or Active X is enabled - not true - all is set as it should be. I have gone through your forums but to no avail. I've looked in MS forums but nothing that made any difference. What's going on and what can I do about it?

Try using Firefox. Flash usually works on Firefox when it won't on Safari. I noticed that the Safari does not show the same version as Firefox does. Iwonder if that could be the problem. Safari on the left shows 10.1, Firefox show 10.3

Constant Error; Adobe Flash Player 11.4 r402 has stopped working. But NOT running Trusteer Rapport.

I am experiancing this unbelieveably annoying and constant Flash error; Adobe Flash Player 11.4 r402 has stopped working.
But NOT running Trusteer Rapport, I never have, and it's not even installed on my computer. So what's causing this?

There were a couple AntiVirus/AntiMalware products that keep coming up, but I haven't validated that in the lab and don't want to call anyone out publicly without reporting the issue to them first.  If you could tell me what antivirus/antimalware products and versions you have installed, that would be helpful.
So, third party stuff aside, I'd like to know more about the crashes your seeing:
1.) Please provide links to the Firefox crash reports. If you have multiples, the first few would be great.
     In Firefox, type about:crashes in the address bar
     If the link starts with "bp...", it's already been submitted -- just right-click on it and copy the link, and paste it into the reply here.
     If not, click it to submit it, and copy the subsequent link.
2.) In firefox, type about:support
     Just copy and paste the output into the reply.
3.) In Firefox, type about:plugins
     Please copy and paste the output into the reply
4.) Please provide the output of the DirectX Diagnostic Utility
     Click Start > type "dxdiag" [enter]
     Click Save All Information
     Copy the output of the file into the reply, or use Adobe SendNow/DropBox/PasteBin to share the file.
5.) If you can provide an exact URL and step-by-step instructions on repeating the crash (if it's consistent), that would be really helpful. My goal is to build out a configuration that matches yours as closely as possible, reproduce the problem and then debug it.
If you're not comfortable sharing that diagnostic information publicly, send me a private message. Just click my name and use the options on the right.
Thanks!

Flash swf not running properly in captivate

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a flash question or a captivate question so I'm posting it to both forums. I have numerous flash cs5 built swfs inserted into a captivate 5 project. All of them are running fine apart from this one. It runs perfectly outside of captivate but within the captivate swf it goes haywire. It's a very simple fla. The only actionscript involved is a stop action. There is a movie clip that uses a number of classic tweens and then there is a layer containing textual explanations for what's happening in the movie clip. When I run my captivate project the swf does one or other of the following:
a) it runs but the movie clip starts earlier than the text and so they are out of synch
b) the text runs as normal but the movie clip does not run at all
c) it only shows the final frame of the swf and nothing else happens.
As I say, it is a very simple fla and I'm at my wits end trying to figure out what's wrong. I don't seem to be able to attach the fla here, so if anybody thinks they may be able to help please pm me with your email address and I will email you the fla file.
Just to note some of the things I have already considered: the text is all set to classic rather than TLF. The captivate project and the fla both publish as3 at 12fps for flash player 9.
yours hopefully!

Help Flash player will not run in Internet Explorer 11?

I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player and it will not run in Internet Explorer 11. I have done the things suggested in the help/forum section. What else can I try?

This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The 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.

Flash Player not running/installing

So far, on two computers, I have had this problem.
I have no problem downloading the software, I even installed it on two computers.
However, when I go to install it on a few computers in my work environment, it will ask to run and not run. I sat for ten minutes waiting for it to run and it wouldn't. Both are XP's, sp3, 1GB, IE8.
Does anyone have any idea's?

Download offline installer: Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player 11 for Windows or Macintosh?

My Firefox version is up to date, I restored Firefox to default settings, restarted, I downloaded latest version of Flash and it will not run, it crashes..

Mac, OSX 10.6.8 (up to date), Firefox 28.0 (up to date). Adobe Flash was downloaded and no videos will run on any web pages using Firefox. I reset Firefox to default settings and restarted. I get the message that Adobe Flash has crashed. Shut computer down, rebooted. Same thing. Uninstalled Flash and the videos run but very choppy, jumping in 5 second increments after freezing. Firefox freezes and has to be force quit. Installed an older version of Flash and it will run, but I get a warning that it is vulnerable. I have gone through this several times and checked all my updates and they are the latest available. Videos do not run on the latest version of Safari either.

Downgrade to FlashPlayer 12.
I will add a link to a related post later. Flash 13 causes problems, and is a known issue with some older MAC s.

Adobe Flash will not Run

I have gone through all the forums and installed and uninstalled flash 3 times. I have gone through the active-x control and still now luck...it wont run although its showing as a successful install. I am running Windows 7 Home Edition with IE 9 version 9.0.8112, 64 bit operating system with 4.00 RAM.

Flash not running

Can some one help me
I have a flash head and it runs ok in the template but will
not run on the individual pages. This is when I test it. The flash
background is visible in Dreamweaver but in test nothing. Help

If you are the author of the pages there are several ways,
but I think the most popular is called SWFObject. Search these (and
the Actionscript forums) for this topic.
You could also google "activate this control" this topic has
been discussed far too much.

Flash videos not running on Chrome or IE on a Windows 7 Toshiba Laptop (Someone Please respond)

I'm using Windows 7 and Chrome and in the last day or so I've had no access at all to flash movies. I have the newest version of Chrome and the flash plugin. I've tried a number of things including enabling/disabling chrome plugins and it hasn't seemed to change anything. All flash video across the internet will not run.
When going here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html, nothing shows up in the box below 1. Not even an error message. Flash videos are not working in IE either, and I've tried reverting back to version 10.3 of the player. Some sites, including Adobe sites, behave as if I don't have flash installed and tell me to download it.   Please, someone help!

Wise of you to investigate in advance.
Your best bet by far nowadays is to get a laptop with hardware virtualization and either the Professional or Ultimate versions of Windows 7 installed. That way, you can use XP Mode.
   Windows XP Mode (Toshiba)
   Windows XP Mode (Microsoft)
You can even open an XP program directly from a shortcut in Windows 7.
For current models suitable to run XP Mode, I suggest you call ToshibaDirect at 888-520-3926.
