Installed Flash Player, but cannot find it

I am trying to view .swf files on my laptop and downloaded Flash Player 11.2.202.235.  The webpage indicates that I was successful, but when I try to play the swf file, it tries to open it with IE and if I right-click and Open With, it only lists IE as a possible program.  Flash Player is not listed in my Programs menu, but it is shown (32-bit) in my Control Panel.  I am using Windows 7 Home Premium (SP1) on an Acer Aspire 5250 64-bit and using IE9 32-bit.

Flash Player is a browser add-on and cannot play local SWF files.
To view local SWF files you need a standalone player; the one that Adobe provides is called Flash Player Projector, and can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
Note that the download is the projector, not an installer, so you will have to make the file association manually.

    If you're running Mac OS X 10.8.x ou can purchase iPhoto version 9.x from the App Store. If you purchase iPhoto at the App Store you will automatically get the most up-to-date version and you won't need to install the 9.4 update.

    Have you ran the OnyX cache cleaning routine?
    See $12 here
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
    Flash has a cache file that remains, it likely corrupted and that's why it might not be working.
    You can manually find this file using the free EasyFind and delete it with all of Flash components and try installing again.

    If you go to the control panel the player is installed. But thigs like iplayer do not recognise it as being installed.

    The message is clear: "Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled".  Did you check if it's enabled:

  • I have installed Copy HTML but cannot find it as an option under any Menu. Only copy is there.

    I have installed the Copy HTML plug-in but cannot find it as an option under any Menu. The only option is "copy". Where do I find this option so I can use it?

    Your screenshot shows that you have the page source visible, so you already have the source code including HTML code available to copy.<br />
    You should see the Copy HTML entry if you right-click a normally rendered HTML page.

  • Install flash player, but during install told to shut down safari

    I am a new mac user, with at desk top using ios 10.9.  Been trying to download Adobe Flash player but during installation it quits and I get a dialogue box telling me to shut down Safari.  I don't have Safari open.......

    I figured it out from another thread.  you need to "Quit" Safari before installing.  Yes, its nothing to worry about once you figure it out, but until that time its frustrating for people switching from PC to MAC.

  • I installed Flash Player but web content not recognizing it.

    I am running FireFox and a web site required Adobe Flash Player to view a video clip.  I downloaded the latest version and installed it, but the website still does not recognizes it.  I'm not sure what to do next.  Help please.
    Thanks!

    I think I am confused.  The web site said I need Adobe Flash Player.  You mention Shockwave and Flash.  I know there is a program called Shockwave Flash, so is the Shockwave and Flash any way associated to Shockwave Flash?  The names are very confusing to me.
    I have Shockwave Flash disabled since the website said I needed Adobe Flash.  I downloaded and installed the latest Adobe Flash Player, but it is not coming up in the possible add-ons for Firefox.
    Do I need to uninstall Adobe Flash Player and then activate Shockwave Flash and then reinstall Adobe Flash Player?  Is there a sequence to this?
    Also, how does this Shockwave for Director come into play, since it says it’s for Netscape?
    Thanks for your help making sense of these names!
