IE9 RC and Latest Flash Player don't work

IE9 Release Candidate was pushed to tens of thousands of users yesterday and now the latest version of flash player does not work in it. I have one PC on Windows 7 64 bit and another on Windows 7 32 bit... same problem. Sites that use flash to display video are dead... including YouTube. They all say 'You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. ' which, of course, does not fix the problem. Another site uses flash for audio and it's DOA also. This is a huge deal because it is finally a browser from MS that is focused on standards compliance and it is very near completion. Any ideas when this will be addressed?

Hi, Take a look at your addons. Go to Tools, Manage addons and under "Show"(very light text) look in All addons. Find Shockwave Flash Object and make sure it's Enabled.
Sometimes updating a browser version may Disable this.
Let me know.
Thanks,

Need Help - Windows Vista and Latest Flash Player

Have Windows Vista and Adobe for viewing video. Just recently I was unable to
view the videos. Pop-up showed that I needed to update to the Flash Player 11. I down loaded
as instructed and was advised that download was successful but still can't view the videos
since the same sign shows up. Have tried to see what I'm missing but without much luck.

What is your browser? If IE:

Why the flash player don't work after installing the video downloader add-on?

I've installed and uninstall the Firefox mobile app several times to try and fix this issue. Every time I add the video downloader add-on the flash player won't let me tap to play videos anymore. I've tried to completely enable the flash but still didn't work. I've used this add on for a few months and it worked fine up until the last Firefox update. Without the add-on the flash player works fine but after I've added the video downloader add-on I would have to uninstall and reinstall the mobile spot to get the flash to work again. I really love to use this add-on that's the advantage that Firefox mobile app has over other web browser. Please tell me how I can fix this issue. THANKS

Hello FRYDAE
Welcome to SuMo help Forum,
Thankyou for reaching us here
About your problem , have you tried to clear your privacy/browsing data? And see if flash works?
And you can try to disable the add-on, if you don't want to use it . and enable it again if you want to download a video .
Cheers!

Uninstalled IE with flash player, installed firefox and added flash player - doesn't work!

Hey guys,
I have just used Revo Uninstaller Pro to remove IE 9 (I think ... it's the standard built in IE taht comes with my Win7 Home Premium 64 bit OS). I had flash player installed in IE. Upon uninstalling all flash components from my computer using Revo, I did an "advanced" search to find all leftover registry entries and files/folders associated with Flash. While doing this, Revo had warned me of some files that "have recently been added" (I believe since initial installation of Flash), and gave me the option of deleting these one at a time. I cannot remember what these files included, but looking at a posting from another person, i seem to recognize some files that I *may* have deleted while removing with Revo:
Flash10d.ocx
Flash10e.ocx
FlashUtil10e.exe
GetFlash.man
install.log
swflash.inf
uninstall_activeX.exe
(again, I have no idea if ANY of the above were the actual ones I deleted, but I seem to remember seeing a couple of these at least listed to me as options to delete)
I proceeded to remove ALL files from my computer.
Then, upon installing Firefox and, subsequently installing flash on it, I noticed that some flash websites load and work properly, whereas other ones don't. I also been to the adobe confirmation page stating taht I have successfully installed and am running Adobe Flash player. Is this simply a case of missing one key component in flash?
Before the entire uninstall mission I did, I remember revo as listing more than 1 Flash programs installed. I believe I had seen two flash 11 programs installed in Revo, which I thought were just simply duplicate installations. I vaguely remember one of them being listed as Flash player 11 and the other as Flash player 11 activex? (both were removed off my system).
Are these files different and did I, in fact, need both of these installed?
Anyway, I have no idea where to go from here. Help please!
Thanks!

So what Flash Player version do you have currently installed?

Latest Flash Player doesn't work on Safari no matter how many times I download it but it works just fine on Firefox

I am using Safari version 7.0 on my iMac. Am on Mavericks OS X 10.9.   Safari is always prompting me to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. I have done this now have Version 11.4 but still unable to get it to work on Safari.   If I use FireFox, there never is a problem. What can I do to make the Flash Player function while using Safari?

    Enable Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.
    Press " Manage Website Settings" button for more options.

Flash Player don't work very well in linux

Hello,
I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and Firefox 3.0 and flashplayernonfree
package. When I browse a page that have a banner with a mouse ouver
event that open a layer over the text showing something, this layer
appears without passing the mouse over this banner. A with layer is

See this list of certified devices http://www.adobe.com/devnet-apps/flashruntimes/certified-devices.html

Videos from the net won't play; plug in's enabled, latest Flash player installed; everything works fine on Safaril; even replaced Firefox by Aurorar, the same.

Earlier everything worked fine, I'm not aware of any change, e.g. in preferences. Now, if I try starting a video from the net (e.g. Youtube) I get either message: update Flash player, or enable plug in; both are in order, and work fine on Safari. I cleared cache and cookies, tried even to uninstall Firefox and download Aurora in vain. I use Windows 7 Ultimate and AVG Internet Security, the very same as earlier when Firefox played these videos perfectly.

Hi, is it the website itself or just that particular game? Does either one work when using Internet Explorer?
Using FF(Firefox) go to the plug-ins and look for the SWF vs 10.0.45.2 plug-in and make sure it is Enabled.
Do you use Ad-Block in FF?, if so try Disabling it and then check if this makes a difference.

Installed Skype and now Flash Player won't open in new window

I installed the latest version of Skype and now Flash Player does not work properly.
I just bought a new laptop, it has Windows 7, 32 bit, IE 9, and Flash 10.
A website that I go to all the time uses Flash Player so when you click on a link in the site it pops out the player into a new window and you can listen while you still browse on their site. After I installed Skype last night, that 'pop-out' function is no longer there. The player now replaces the webpage and it is very large and distorted because it is supposed to be in a small pop-out window. No matter what I click, I can't get the link to open in a new window, it always opens in the same window replacing the webpage.
I uninstalled Skype and then used the manual uninstaller of Flash because the uninstall would not work from the uninstall screen in Windows. I then reinstalled the latest version of Flash Player and I still have the same problem.
Is this a setting that I can change somewhere??
Thank you.

Hi eidnolb, thanks for the reply.
I did uninstall the google toolbar that was installed with skype.
I now found that it is not just flash player that won't open in a new window, I can't get any link at all to open in a new tab or a new window.
I tried restoring IE's settings and that did not work.
I know this is an adobe forum and my problem is now much larger than just adobe, but if you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

Flash ( Player doesn't work - Yahoo Home Page under Vista

ATT Yahoo Home Page - Today Section Videos don't work run in
Vista - they do run under XP - Latest Flash Player is loaded -
works at other sites under Vista to include Your Tube - looking for
suggestions - have tried turning off Firewall, Spyware, Anti Virus,
UAC, etc - no luck - Thanks

Hello, Since you have uninstalled and reinstalled, the first thing I would do is go to www.adobe.com/software/flash/about. Adobe will tell you if F.P. is installed and what version you have. The next thing, is if it is indeed installed, is go to Tools>manange add ons, find Shockwave Flash Object, hi light it, and on the bottom right you should see "Update Active X". Click on that and when the update is completed, Reboot. Then see if that solves your problem.

Flash Player Check Not Working In Firefox?

Hello,
As of today, checking my Flash Player version on the Flash Player Help page gives me this: http://i.imgur.com/fTRMR4l.png, when it would usually tell me if my version was up to date, and what version I have.
The Shockwave Help page works just fine, and the Flash Player Help page works fine in Chrome.
I have tried resetting Firefox, updating Firefox, and using Firefox in Safe Mode, with no fix. So what's going on?

@Gnospen
Took a look at my about:addons page to see if it was set on "Ask to Activate", and it wasn't set to that. It was set on "Always Activate", as you can see here: http://i.imgur.com/tAmvj36.png
Am I looking on the correct page, or is there another page I should be looking at?

Flash Player doesn't work after update

I'm using windows 7 with Firefox browser. I installed an update and now Flash Player doesn't work.
I've tried re-installing but it still doesn't work.
Can you help please.

Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

Just reinstalled newest iTunes and still the program fails to open. Am using Windows 7 starter. It seems that the failure to open iTunes happened just after I updated to the latest flash player. Don't know if that has anything to do with it.

iTunes will not open. I am using Windows 7, and have had no trouble with iTunes until yesterday. The only think I did yesterday was install an upgrade to the latest Flash player. From then on, even after deleting and reinstalling iTunes, it still does NOTHING after the screen authorizing iTunes to make changes to the hard drive. I have tried going to the applications and ending process. I've also tried going to Control panel - and tried to repair the program.
If I don't get some help here... iTunes is toast to me.
Thanks,
GaryFromSeffner

I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser? It is already installed, I just don't use it. I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it? If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

I have an iMac running OSX 10.6.8 and updated to the latest flash player but the audio on youtube music still won't respond. Any suggestions besides buying a new computer?

I have an eight year old iMac running OSX 10.6.8 and just installed the latest Flash Player but the audio won't play on the youtube music website. What else do I need to update or install to listen to the music?

just installed the latest Flash Player
Did you uninstall all the previous versions of Adobe Flash Player? Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer after the installation?
Which browser & version are you using? Have you tried other browsers?
Please advise.
