Installed Flash not recognised - Windows XP & Mozilla 27.0

I've installed Flash player a few times onto my XP computer using Mozilla 27.0 ..... and each time when I try to play YouTube and other videos ... it's not detected - it says "...Adobe Flash... is required for video playback".
It's showing up as installed on the Add/Remove software function,  however there isn't even a shortcut to use it which seems strange.
I've searched through the forum and via google and can't find any answers.
Hope someone can help ........ thanks
PS -  my IE8  isn't even able to play videos either  and there's no IE  'add on' causing this problem       (but is different software required to play IE? ..... ) 

Give ti a clean install of everything:
Download the following:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Flash Player Uninstaller
Also, download these:
Shockwave Player Uninstaller
Shockwave Player 12 FULL installer (Other browsers)
You'll need to install Shockwave with the FULL installer for IE too, but there isn't a direct download for it. You'll need to go to: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions/ using IE AFTER everything else is done.
Save all the files and close your browser.
Run the uninstallers first (both of them)
Go to: C/Windows/System32
Delete the Macromed folder.
Open your Registry Editor (Start>Run or press the Windows key + R and type 'regedit' [minus the quotes] and click OK)
In the Registry Editor, go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE
Delete the Macromedia folder (Right click and choose "Delete").
Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software and delete the Macromedia folder there too.
Close the Registry Editor and empty your recycle bin.
Run the Flash Player installers, and then the Shockwave FULL installer you downloaded.
Lastly, open IE and go to: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions/ to download and install the Shockwave FULL installer for ActiveX (IE).

  • Cannot install Flash Player in Windows 8.1

    Tried to install Flash Player in Windows 8.1 (32 bit).  Used all the instructions; i.e, disable saftey, enable scripting, etc. An install box says Update KB2934802 is already installed.  Searched computer for KB.....02 and Flash Player.  Says none exist.  Any suggestions?

    Ever since Windows 8, Flash Player for Internet Explorer is written by Adobe ONLY. It's embedded by Microsoft, and you cannot:
    - Update it
    - Download it
    - Install it
    - Reinstall it
    from here. You MUST update Flash Player ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) through Windows update. But... Using Windows 8.1 means you were forced to update to IE11, which has it's own problems and they can be summed up in three words...
    "User-Agent Strings"
    That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
    Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
    The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
    Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
    They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
    The REAL solution, like the original problem can also be summed up in three words:
    "Use 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.

  • Airport utilities does not recognise windows 7 and will not load, how do I fix this?

    Airport utiltiy will not load, it does not recognise windows 7 and I get an effor message telling me that it requires XP  or vista etc.
    I have deleted and reloaded Airport Utilities, Bonjour and Itunes to no effect. Help!

    well...i go only to the site "Test it here: http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml". After this i was able to go to a site with the title "Java Downloads for All Operating Systems" and here you download your JRE for your OS. For XP or Win 7 it was a java 6 update 29-b11. The file to install is named '''jxpiinstall.exe'''. After install an restart you go again to [http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml testvm.xml] and see that the java plugin works fine.... (see the screenshot)...

    how can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop?

    For Internet Explorer, you don't. Microsoft has already done it.
    For Firefox, Opera or Safari, use the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    For Chrome, you don't need to wither because Google puts it in the browser.

  • How to install Sticky Notes in Windows Server 2012 R2

    I want to install Sticky Note in Windows Server 2012 R2. If this app is not available in Server 2012 then which is the
    best "Sticky Note" application for this platform.
    Thanks

    Here are instructions for 2008 -
    http://www.win2008r2workstation.com/sticky-notes/  I'm not sure about the legality of that, as I think Microsoft has some rules in their license about copying files from one distribution to another.  You would need a lawyer to check on that.
    Otherwise, a simple Bing search will turn up freeware apps you can download.

  • Need Help Installing Flash CS4 For Windows

    Hi, I have downloaded the two files to install Flash CS4 for Windows from here: http://helpx.adobe.com/uk/creative-suite/kb/cs4-product-downloads.html
    Unfortunately, there is no explanation whatsoever provided regarding how to use the two files, and how to install my product.
    I feel like I am missing something obvious here, but can someone please explain.
    Kind regards,
    Finn.

    Try uninstalling then run the Adobe Cleaner Tool
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Then double click the .exe file again.
    What do I do with the .7z file?
    Nothing. That's is an archive of files used by the .exe file during the installation process.

    I had installed flash player on Window 8.1 for 32 bit and now I have to change it to 64 bit.

    I don't understand what you are saying: you change Windows to 64-bit?
    Just reinstall Flash Player, and it will automatically install both 32-bit and 64-bit players on a 64-bit system.

  • Flash not recognised by slideshow building programs only

    Hi All,
    Please offer me some advice.
    Having installed Amara flash slideshow builder it failed to run stating my flash was not installed or out of date. I knew this was not the case but uninstalled and re-installed flash anyway. I tested it on the adobe site, all ok and also tested it on a couple of sites using flash. All ok. Same problem with Amara tho', not recognised.
    So downloaded SWF 'n slide, another slideshowmaker. It also failed to recognise any flash installed (with dialog).
    Following some research I downloaded SubInACL from microsoft and ran it to ensure all my permissions were ok, but seems they were ok as it hasn't changed anything. What do I do now? I'm kind of stuck, I really need a flash slideshow builder, but seems they won't run, why? Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks, Peter

  • Can't install flash on new Windows 8 notebook

    I can't decide which I hate more -- Windows 8 or the new FireFox, as I feel like I have never seen a computer before trying to do things that used to be automatic.
    When I enter a site that wants to show a flash video, I see just a big black box, without the message that I need to install a plug-in.
    When I go to the site to manually install flash (get.adobe.com/flashplayer), it says that java is not enabled. But Java is enabled (with the miserable ask before using "feature"). I have already clicked on the little globe on this site and chosen to allow java at this site. But it still says that java is not enabled.
    Flash works fine in Internet Explorer.

    I see that Javascript is not enabled. How do I enable it?
    Reset Firefox to its default state

  • Ipod shuffle 2 nd gen itunes 9 ipod not recognised (windows 7 64 bit OS)

    Hi
    I see that others are having issue. My problem is that I have windows 7 ultimate installed (64 bit) along with itunes 9 (64 version) . When i plug in my ipod shuffle 2nd gen 1gb I get the following message " the software required for communicating with ipod and mobile phones is not installed properly. Do you want Itunes to repair this for you?'
    Say yes reboot - same error message .Connect ipod not recognised.
    Have reinstalled itunes 9
    Have also uninstalled itunes and reinstalled
    gone to portable devices under device manager to update drivers still issues
    Is anyone getting the same error message and is there a solution
    really frustrating !!!

    I'm having the same kind of problem and haved tried pretty much everything my self. We have two computers. One with Vista and the other with XP pro. We have three iPods.
    80g video, Touch first generation and touch second generation. Everything works fine with the first two, but windows cannot find the driver for the 2nd generation touch. Altough all drivers seem to be installed. The problem started with the Vista computer. I've uninstalled and re-installed everything and nothing works. Took everything on the XP computer, and the 2nd generation touch is still not recognized.
    Of course I-tunes is up to date and all drivers as well.

  • Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000

    Thanks to numerous past discussions, methods have been found for installing Flash Player 11.2.202.235 on Windows 2000. See this thread, which explains how to use HxD Hex Editor to make a simple change that will allow installation on Windows 2000:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4428785
    The original post goes into fine detail with illustrations. Here's a quick redux:
    - Download the latest Adobe Flash Player (IE or non-IE) for Windows 32-bit systems.
    - Download HxD Hex Editor hereabouts (VirusTotal rates it clean):
    http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/
    - Unzip and install HxD.
    - Launch HxD and open the Adobe Flash Player Installer, something like:
    install_flash_player_32bit.exe
    - Hit F3 for HxD's search function, and search for SetDllDirectoryW
    - On the right-hand side of the HxD display, change SetDllDirectoryW to GetModuleHandleW
    - SaveAs install_flash_player_32bit_Win2k.exe or similar.
    - Quit HxD and run the modified Flash Player Installer. It should install fine on Win2k.
    This worked for me using Flash Player Installer 11.2.202.235, both IE and non-IE versions.
    This is a hack and is not officially supported by Adobe.

    I installing the Adobe Flash plugin ONLY by my own hand. Sadly, Adobe did not come up with zip archive with just the plugin dll file, but I install - copy the DLL - and uninstall. Then manually delete the remaining files and just use the DLL or the installer.
    To make the installe work at Win2k, the very same hack is need - hack the Flash Util file the same way, as the dll - change in it the SetDllDirectoryW to GetModuleHandleW and that it is!
    If someone want, there is Flash Util and Adobe Flash as DLL files, hacked with W2k:
    http://rapidshare.com/files/3122942562/Flash%20Players%20for%20W2k.zip
    http://depositfiles.org/files/max4wif3c
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/z2t9j2
    Archive contain Adobe Flash unpacked (ready to copy into Firefox) with their utility files hacked for W2k in these versions: Flash Player 9.0.124.0, Flash Player 10.0.32.18, Flash Player 10.1.85.3, Flash Player 10.1.102.64, Flash Player 10.2.159.1, Flash Player 10.3.183.29, Flash Player 11.2.202.235, Flash Player 11.3.300.273, Flash Player 11.4.402.287
    Interesting thing. Fullscreen video won't work on YouTube (only white screen, sound go ok) with Firefox v3.0.14 and Adobe Flash higher version that 10.0.32.18... Strange, strange 
    (could be that the Firefox is kinda old, but it is weird that v10.0.32.18 works flawlessly and just v10.1.85.3 not at all in fullscreen... I also use relatively old Forceware drivers v45.28 on crap GF2MX400 card :-) )

  • Installing Flash Player on Windows 7 Professional 32-bit IE closed but still requests closing

    Windows 7 Professional is using Internet Explorer 11.0.9600 with update 11.0.15.  Installing Flash Player 16.0.0.305. Starts installing and stops at 72%, advising that Internet Explorer needs to be closed and then try again.  In Task Manager IE is not open.  Tried going to the Active X download and ended up at the same error.  We installed Windows 365, if that impacts the installation, though it has not stopped any other installations done after installing 365.  Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
    Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.
