Impossible to install flash player, why?

I know it may seem a very simple question for you, but I just cannot overcome this problem, and it really upsets me, so please help!
I have been asked to update my flash player, but when I followed the steps, the download manager appeared, but when the download is about to start a button "please close the download manager"  appeared and I did not have any other option but to click it, then the download window  closed down  and nothing  happened afterwards.
I have uninstalled the previous version, so virtually there is not any  flash player installed in my computer now. I have a window vista... so any help will be much appreciated!

Hi, If you didn't see the Flash logo animation at the test site, then most likely something blocked the Shockwave Flash Object or it is not enabled. Go to Tools,Manage addons, Toolbars & Extensions. Look in the mid section for "Show", it will be light text. Click on All add ons and or run without permission. That should be listed and Enabled.
Let me know.
Thanks,

  • I've installed Flash Player, why can't I play a swf file?

    I'm trying to play a swf file in Windows 7. I've been able to do this before many times, using Flash Player, but it doesn't work now. I've recently done a complete reinstall of Windows 7 and my apps, and this is the first time I've tried to play a swf file since then.
    When I double-click a swf file, I get the "Windows can't open this file" dialog box. If I select "Use the web service..." it takes me to the Adobe website Flash Player installation page. (I've installed it previously, and I've installed it - twice - today.) If I select "Select a program from a list...", the list doesn't include Flash Player, though it does allow me to play the file in a browser.
    Some of my swf files I created with Captivate, and published them with an html file. When I open the html file, the swf file plays properly. Shouldn't I be able to play the swf file in the player, without opening the html file?
    Should I be able to see the player in my start menu programs, or in the Programs folder? I can't find it on my computer. Is there something else I need to install?

  • Attempting to INSTALL Flash Player 17, on WIndows 7, Firefox 36.0.1-why did I never used to have a problem?

    I am using Windows 7, Firefox 36.0.1, and attempting to INSTALL Flash Player 17. I never had problems until about a year ago, the way the installation & set up was so easy...now, I fight with it for days every month when a new update is ready. There used to be 2-3 easy steps to follow; now I click to download, watch the diagram until it finishes, find the icon on my desktop, and click it again (presumbly to download & install), and it disappears. I do not know where or how to see it; a few minutes later I go to my Firefox Plug in Check page...and it shows that it still is not update! So I go through the whole friggan process again...WHY????

    Hello,
    Please do the following:
    Download the uninstaller, Uninstall Flash Player | Windows
    Download the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page in the 'Still having problems' section
    Run the uninstaller
    Reboot your system
    Run the installer
    After installation completes, go to Flash Player Help and click on the 'Check Now' button.  The results should indicate that you have the latest version, 17.0.0.134, installed.

  • Why does Flash/Flex Builder 4 Premium downgrade to Standard when I install Flash Player Debug?

    Why does Flash/Flex Builder 4 Premium downgrade to Standard when I install Flash Player Debug?
    I installed a corporate install of Flex/Flash Builder 4 Premium, and verified that it was the Premium version was installed.  The Start Page said that Flash Player was needed to display the text, so I installed Flash Player 10 Debug -- first download link from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    When I then started Flex Builder 4, the splash screen showed Premium, but as soon as the Start Page was visible, it showed "FB Adobe Flash Builder 4 Standard" --- Help | About showed Standard, and the splash screen from then on showed Standard.
    A Google search showed a work around for this, but it requires a license for Premium, which I don't have because our corporate install has it built-in:
    http://bloginblack.de/2010/05/adobe-master-collection-cs5-breaks-flash-builder-4-premium-a nd-how-to-fix-it/
    1. Anyone know how to resolve this?
    2. Can Adobe fix this?
    Thanks!

    I had similar problem. I was involved in Flash Builder prerelease program and few months later I installed Adobe CS5 Master Collection. After that I had a same situation.  Best thing was, my Flash Builder Beta was Premium version but acted like Standard, and FB from CS5 was Standard but acted like Premium. I removed CS5 and beta version of CS5. used CS5 Cleaning Fix and then reinstalled my apps.
    I was lucky that I didn't have many big projects involved in FB beta or CS5 workspaces, I heard some guys had problems with migrated workspace configurations but I don't know what was the problem.

  • Why do I keep getting a notice to install Flash Player.  I have done it 3 times now.

    Why do I keep getting notifications to install Flash Player.  I have installed it 3 times now.

    You are getting notifications to install Flash Player due to the fact that it is out of date. Unfortunately, Adobe has discontinued Flash Player since version 10.1 for PowerPC Macs. However that will not stop you from taking advantage of Flash on Facebook and other sites like YouTube.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3599648
    Follow that link down to the post by Texas Mac Man. Download the attached file and follow the instructions. You will then be able to use Facebook and YouTube fully. It is still Flash 10.1 but it will show to your Mac as 11.
    I hope this will be able to help you.

  • "Why can't I install Flash Player on my Tablet?" (Kindle or Samsung Galaxy)

    Your tablet (Kindle or Galaxy) uses the Android Operating System.
    Adobe stopped ALL development of Flash for Android last year. (July 2012) That includes Kindle as well as Samsung Tablets. Additionally, Samsung and Amazon have ended support for Flash in ALL of their newest tablet models.
    The following is from Samsung Support (07/31/2013):
    "Beginning August 15, 2012 we will use the configuration settings in the Google Play Store to limit continued access to Flash Player updates to only those devices that have Flash Player already installed. Devices that do not have Flash Player already installed are increasingly likely to be incompatible with Flash Player and will no longer be able to install it from the Google Play Store after August 15th, 2012."
    And from Kindle Support (07/31/2013):
    "The Amazon Silk web browser on Kindle Fire 1st Generation supports some, but not all, versions of Flash. Adobe Flash is pre-installed on a 1st Generation Kindle Fire and is disabled by default.
    If you see a message to install Flash while using your Kindle Fire, this means that the content you're attempting to view uses Flash. If you want to view the content, you'll need to enable Flash through the Silk settings menu.
    If a web page suffers from slow performance due to Flash, or you're unable to view a web page with Flash enabled, we recommend switching to mobile view when browsing a Flash-heavy website to see if that solves your problem:
    Some popular websites may also have an app available. Check Amazon Appstore, accessible through the Apps library on your Kindle Fire, for availability.
    The Amazon Silk web browser on Kindle Fire 2nd Generation, Kindle Fire HD 7", and Kindle Fire HD 8.9" doesn't support Flash.
    Some sites use alternative web technologies to Flash in their mobile versions. We recommend switching to mobile view when browsing a website with Flash content to see if that solves your problem:
    Some popular websites may also have an app available. Check Amazon Appstore, accessible through the Apps or Games library on your Kindle Fire, for availability."
    See: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
    There are older versions of Flash Player (for Android) at that link, but there are no guarantees any of them will work.
    See also: "How do I manually install Flash Player on my Android device?"
    You can find info about "Dolphin" for Android at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser It seems to be the browser of choice to play Flash content on an Android device.
    Also, check the Android forums to see what their "gurus" recommend.

    Hello,
    Flash Player is not supported on mobile devices, and has never been supported on Windows phone.  I am not aware of alternative option for Windows phone users.

  • Why do I have to keep re-installing Flash Player?

    I have read the forums and tried all the suggestions and nothing works. I have Windows 7 and IE 9. It has nothing to do with IE as I have the same problem with Firefox.
    This is REALLY frustrating!

    Download the Flash Player Uninstaller.
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installers by right clicking the following links and selecting the "Save as" option.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save all files - DO NOT run anything yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE opening anything else, go to your downloads folder and run the uninstaller.
    Once you've removed the Flash Players, do a double check:
    Go to: C/Windows/System32/Macromed.
    If there's still a Flash folder - DELETE IT.
    Goto: C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed.
    If there's still a Flash folder - DELETE IT.
    Open your Registry Editor (Start>Run or press the WIndows key+R and type "regedit" and click OK)
    In the Registry Editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE
    If there's a Macromedia folder - DELETE IT.
    Go to HKEY_CURRENT USER/Software
    If there's a Macromedia folder - DELETE IT.
    NOW you're ready to install Flash Player as if it was never on your system to begin with.
    Riun the installers in either order, and then check that it's enabled in IE: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448

  • Why do I need to re-install flash player every time I restart my PC

    About a week ago my I nocticed that when every I tried to watch a flash video (with the exception of using Chrome) I was asked to install flash player with I already had installed.  However if I reinstall it everything works until I restart my PC.  Needless to say the is getting frustrating but I can't seem to fix it.  I have tried uninstalling and reistalling but this doesn't help... Once I restart the computer it doesn't work.  Any help would be appriated.
    Edit:  Forgot to mention I'm running Windows 7 (64 bit).

  • When i use torbutton, it asks to install flash player plug-in but it doesn't allow to download and install it.why?

    when i use torbutton in firefox for anonymity, i can not play flash player based videos like youtube and it prompts to install flash player plug-in. i checked add-on in tool menu and found out this plug-in is not installed. i tried to D/L and install it but it doesn't allow me to do it and gives D/L error. whats the problem?
    it should be noted that i configured "security setting" tab in torbutton prefrences to accept plug -ins rences by unckecking "disable plug-ins during tor using".

    This folder does not exist on windows xp
    " Tor Browser\FirefoxPortable\App\Firefox\plugins "
    So this is not useful solution

  • Why has installing Flash Player 11 Beta 64-bit affected downloading of "pdf" documents??

    I recently installed Flash Player 11 Beta 64-bit, and Active-x for Windows 64-bit – for Internet Explorer only.
    The downloading of xxx.pdf documents was immediately affected.  The downloading was “garbage” into a Microsoft Word document with the suffix .pdf.  Help!
    Op System:  Vista; Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 64 bit version

    Our installer would not have any affect on how pdf files are registered in the system  The best think to do is make sure the default program association with pdf files is Acrobat Reader.  IE should pick up on those settings.

    Why has Zuma Blitz and other games stopped working? I have downloaded and installed flash player but it still doesn't work.

    IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
