Installed Flash Player but not working

I've installed the Flash Player Version 9 and when I try to
use an application that requires this software I get a pop up box
asking me to install Macromedia Flash Player, even though it is
installed. I have read through your forums, check registry
settings, uninstalled and reinstalled, run the microsoft subinacl
patch all to no avail.
Why doesn't it play?

I was having the exact same problems mentioned in this topic.
Uninstalled/installed Flash and Shockwave. Used the appropriate
uninstaller, searched for rogue .dll extension files, cleaned out
the C:\Windows\System32\Macromedia\Flash files, looked at the
manage add-ons, posted on this forum, e-mailed Adobe, spoke with
them on the phone and even uninstalled IE7 and went back to IE 6.
None of that helped.
Reading through some of the responses on various posts, I
found the following:
Uninstall flash with the latest Adobe stand alone uninstaller
Download Complete Standalone installer Flash Player 9 earlier
version from
http://www.softwarepatch.com/internet/flash.html
Uninstall shockwave with the latest Adobe stand alone
uninstaller
Download Stand-alone installers for Shockwave Player:
previous versions only

Note: Users of Windows XP operating system must use the 8.5.1
Shockwave player or higher. For more information, please
seeInstalling the Shockwave Player on Microsoft Windows XP
(TechNote tn_15924).
Windows Shockwave Player 9.0.0.434
I tried this last night - one and then the other one - and
they both are running fine.
Hope this helps someone else.

Installed Flash Player But Wont work

Was trying to view a video on ESPN.com and it told me to install the latest version of Flash Player, I have installed the latest version of Flash Player but it seems as if my MAC hasnt truly installed the software. Any Suggestions?

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.

Flash player is installed in Win7 but not working

I am working on a Win7 64-bit system and I can't get flash player to work. I am using Internet explorer 8 32-bit. Looking at the add ons I see Adobe Shockwave but not Flash Player. In the windows\syswow64\macromed\flash I have these files:
flash10o.ock
flashinstall.log
flashplayer.xpt
flashutil10o_activex.dll
flashutil10o_activex.exe
flashutil10o_plugin.exe
install.log
npswf32.dll
I have installed, uninstalled. Used a support page from Adobe "Latest version of Flash Player doesn't display video". Still no luck. I downloaded and installed Firefox 4. Installed Flash Player and it works. I looked and the 'kill-bit' is not installed on this pc.
Whatever you can do to help will be appreciated.

Hi again, Since you have Norton and SAS, there may be a conflict between them.
What version of SAS do you have Installed? Even the Free version has Realtime Protection that would be running at the same time that Norton is. And unless you Disabled both of these when running the MBAM scanner, you may not have received a clean scan from MBAM.
What type of Malware was found and which program found it? Let me know this.
At this time, I would suggest that you Disable Norton & SAS. Then update MBAM and run a full scan, or at least a quick scan.
Close all browser windows before doing this, so there will be no interference from Norton & SAS.
Do that first and then let me know the results of the MBAM scan.
I'm trying to determine what is causing the Shockwave Flash Object not to Install.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Flash Player does not work with Standard User, but will work when browser is "Run as Administrator"

I don't understand why this is happening, but Flash Player will not work when a Standard User is using the browser. It will only work when the browser is run as an administrator. Any way to fix this? I've tried to uninstall, and reinstall the player, and it still wouldn't work.
The user is on Windows 7, 64-bit. Using IE 10.
Flash not working for Standard User - YouTube

Any update to provide at all here guys? Again, in my situation, it's very much rights-related as a standard user doesn't even report that the flash player exists when testing it on the Adobe Flash Version Detection website (despite it showing up in Control Panel and under Add/Remove Programs). I've already tried giving the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed and files/subfolders appropriate permissions for the standard user and still nothing. If I either give the user in question full local admin rights or logon as the domain admin, then the Adobe Flash Version Detection website says Flash is installed and Flash works fine.
Thoughts???

Has anyone been able to contact Adobe to learn why their Flash Player does not work on Mac OS 10.6.8, no matter how many updates you install? This seems like a big error by Adobe.

I have thee Mac computers with Mac OS 10.6.8, one of which is a Mac Pro. No matter how many updates I install from Adobe, their Flash Player does not work on any of these 3 computers. I don't know how to contact Adobe Systems about this problem, but I think it is their responsibility to make sure that their so-called "universal" software works proplerly on a relatively recent operating system like OS 10.6.8 that is still in widespread use. When you install the updates, nothing happens -- not even an error message. What is the point of a universal player that is not universal? It works fine on my MacBook Pro with OS 9 Mavericks, but it does not work at all -- indeed, has never worked -- on my 3 Macs with OS 10.6.8. Has anyone contacted Adobe Systems to find out why the Flash Player does not work with OS 10.6.8 and what they plan to do about it?

Where are you getting Flash from?
Get the appropriate dmg installer here and then run it.
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
If it still won't install, do these two things: First uninstall any Flash by going into the second level Hard Drive Library>Internet Plug-ins, and trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. Then boot into Safe Boot, Shift at the startup chime (give it much longer than a usual boot) and run the installer while booted in Safe Boot.

Adobe flash player does not work on Firefox, but does on Wind Exp

I have reinstalled Adobe Flash Player many times and also reinstalled Firefox, but flash player does not work. Every tim I try to play something it tells me to install the latest version of flash player. Flash player works fine on on Windows Explorer

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

Flash player does not work under one user account.

Flash player does not work under one of my user accounts.
My system: I work with a mac mini with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
What I have done:
I installed the flash player maybe one year ago under my "first" user account. At that time this user account had had administrator authorization. In the meantime I had to change this "first" user account in an account without administrator authorization and created an administrator user with which I installed different programms. Lately, the message came up that it would be necessary to update the flash player. I did it; under the "first" user account, but of course with the administrator's password for installing. The installation had been "successful" - so I was told. But it did not run. I tried it again and again. Each time with "deinstallation" first. No way; it did not work.
After asking Adobe for the reason of the problem, they suggested to install the programm directly under the administrator user. I did that (of course after deinstalling under the "first" user account) with the result, that flash player runs under my administrator and my "second" user account, but not under the first user account. There I am always told to update my flash player.
With this result, I talked to Adobe. So they told me to contact the producer of the operating software, since this would be a mistake of the operating software.
And here I am - full of hope to get help from you.
Thanks for reading. And thanks in advance for helping me.

Flash player will not work on my computer, would love advice

I have windows vista. When I visit a web page that requires flash, it instructs me to download it (even though I'm sure I have it ialready...). I do so, it says it has downloaded successfully but I still cannot view the website. I have uninstalled my current version of flash and reinstalled the latest version numerous times. It even shows up in my list of programs. But each time I visit a site that uses it, it tells me I need flash to view it. Very frustrating. And suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

This was very helpful - thank you. I unchecked "active x filtering" and it seems to be working, under tools in IE. a simple solution, that may have taken me days to figure out myself! Hopefully it continues to work from thiis point forward. Thanks!

Flash player does not work properly on Windows 7 32 bits

Hello,
My flash player does not work properly on Windows 7 32 bits with Firfox and IE8 (lasts versions).
My Flash player version : 10.0.45.2, but I tried with version 9 too, with same problems.
I have tried to uninstall, reboot, reinstall several times, ... witch did not worked.
In fact, it works correctly on some sites, like youtube, but not on some others like :
http://www.dailymotion.com/ => black screen instead of videos, right click gives flash context menu
http://www.canalplus.fr/ => videos does not load, right click gives flash context menu
http://www.myspace.com/ => no audio player, right click gives flash context menu
some games in http://www.kongregate.com/ => black screen instead of games, right click gives flash context menu
I have no problem with shockwave in http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/
No problem too with flash player on http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
But in the Global Privacy Settings panel (http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l), I cannot change any settings :
I cannot check boxes,
My changes are not saved.
In most of flash animations, videos, ...,
when I click on parameters, I cannot do anything, even closing.
when I am in full screen mode, the message "press escape to exit...." does not disappear.
Last thing, all those problems was not there when I was on Windows XP, few weeks ago, and appear with my registered Windows 7 premium familly edition, with the same hardware configuration...
Thank you for your help

Hi eidnolb
Thanks for your answer.
This is what I have :
Verify user permissions
I have an administrator account.
I tried (uninstall, install and run) with super-administrator account for same results
Install the most current version.
I am running the latest version (10.0.45.2)
Run the Clean Installer to Fix 3rd Party Flash Player Cleaners
I did not "clean" my computer.
Troubleshoot Pop-up blockers
I have no Pop-up or esle blocker software.
Ensure that Internet utilities do not block Flash Player
I tried (uninstall, install and run) without Avast.
I have windows 7 firewall. I do not know where I can allow ActiveX controls and Flash (SWF) content. I do not see anything relative to ActiveX an Flash in allowed program list.
Fix machine crashes when displaying Flash content
I have no freez or crash.
Using IE, Shockwave Flash Object is Enabled and vs 10.0.45.2
Using FF, I have SWF vs 10.0.45.2 and it is Enabled
I really do not understand !!
Thanks,
Ju'

Flash player will not work with Windows Vista?

I installed flash player but had to uninstall it after I did an update as my Pc would not work properly. Does anyone know which version will work please. Thanks.

I have a machine with Vista Ultimate SP2 and Flash Player 11.8.800.94 and it works as it should.
What exactly does "my PC would not work properly" mean?

Flash Player is not working on any browser in Windows 8

Flash Player is not Working on internet explorer, or chrome, or firefox...
I have tryed some processes that I have found in this and other forums like not filtering activex, changing internet options, deleting browser data, deleting flash saved data, uninstalling flash, re-installing flash...
uninstalling browsers, reinstalling, uninstalled the antivirus, re-installed it, installed another, disabiling it, nothing works.
When you enter a site using flash, such as youtube, every browser shows the control but not the video, then crashes and shows a message indicatin that flash is not responding, and sometimes saying that a script is not responding either...

Also, I'd appreciate some more detailed information on your system.
Open a command line, and type the following:
dxdiag
Hit enter, and it will launch the DirectX diagnostic tool.
Choose Save All Information and choose a location. Open it with a text editor and just copy the contents to a reply here.
Thanks!

Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, uninstall, & reinstall

I have problems with Adobe Flash Player 11 NOT working after several attempts to download, then uninstall, & re-install.
I uninstalled the previous versions of Adobe Flash Player from my computer PRIOR to attempting to install the new 11 version, so now I'm unable to view videos, etc.,
I'm using Windows Vista 32 bit, Internet Explorer 9.0 (which I closed when I got error messages during Adobe Flash Player 11 Installation. I've disabled my AVG -Virus also during the installation of Flash Player 11.
FYI, I'm not computer savvy so the YouTube video by Adobe Tech was too complicated to follow AND I'm unable to view (DUH!) it since I have no Flash Player program installed (doesn't make sense!) .
Thanks for keeping it simple (KISS for me).

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling some 30 times now ..rebooting, you name it.
I haven't been able to use flash since Adobe kindly shoved that latest update down my computer's throat.
Right after getting the 'successful' installation message I restart IE9 ..go to my channel on youtube and immediately get the message:
The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback.
Get the latest Flash Player
I tried Chrome and on two or three it worked but then even after closing out of them ..Chrome slowed down to a crawl and finally informed me that Flash had stopped working.
This has entirely wasted 3 nights of my time. It is 2:30 am and I should have had at least 2hours sleep already to rise at 6:30 but no, thanks this I'm still up and no doubt millions of other computer users are having just as much fun.. Everyone I know that allowed the updates to install ..is having the same problem ..Chrome/IE9/Firefox ...you can truly call it Adobe's Universal Cluster ...
I live with Adobe. At work we have 6 fully Adobied LR4/CS5 & 6/InDesign workstations. I'm a photographer using nothing but Adobe products and quite frankly I feel this is the worst treatment you have ever given your customers.
Please stop the CYA and just fix the damm thing! I realize you didn't write it Chris but surely you can get Adobe management to address this instead of just trying to get their users to try and debug it for the airheads that released it. Has anyone stopped to consider the financial damage being done due to videos not playing the ads that support the sites and no doubt stream revenue to Adobe? These guys have rolled the online experience back 5 years minimum and Adobe will probably pay the price for it. Re-issue a working version and go back to the drawing board!

Please help me resolve this issue soon!!
