Installing a new version of Flash Player

I suspect the Adobe Flash Player (AFP) on my Windows XP pc is corrupted and I want to uninstall it and replace it with the latest version, which I understand s 15.0.0.152. I am using Firefox as my browser.
Q1: How can I tell what version of AFP I currently have? When I view Control Panel\Remove and ... I see I have two AFP items:
Adobe Flash Player 15 Active X; and
Adobe Flash Player 15 Plug in
Q2: Should I uninstall one (or both) of these items before loading 15.0.0.152? Can I remove them using the Control Panel\Remove app or do I need to remove them another way?
Q3: What is the URL of the site from which I download 15.0.0.152?
Thanks.

You can uninstall Flash Player using the uninstaller:
Uninstall Flash Player | Windows
You can then download a new Flash Player by going to:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
The installers for Internet Explorer (ActiveX) and Firefox (and other NPAPI browsers) are different, so you'll want to do the installation for one or both browsers.  The Flash Player distributed with Chrome is built into the browser, so it will remain unaffected.
I doubt that this will resolve your video playback issues.  It's more likely that it's related to your graphics drivers, but let's take this one thing at a time.

  • After installing the newer version of flash player 10.3.181.14, My firefox 4 started crashing.

    I used to get Flash player plugin crashed but my Firefox never crashed, and that problem was easily resolved by just refreshing that page. But now my Firefox crashes and i have to restart it. which is really frustrating.
    I have tried FF3, FF5 beta and the older version of flash player (10,2,159,1) and now i am used this old version but my firefox is still crashing regularly.

    And it happens alot in Facebook.

  • When I try to install the new version of Flash Player on my iMac, Adobe installer rejects apple ID

    Adobe installer claims my Apple ID is incorrect when I try to install the new Flash Player.  iMac + OS Mavericks.  I have tried it many times.  Same ID works on two iPads, iTunes, etc. and on the iMac whenever it is asked for, other than with Flash Player installer.  Aggro+++++++

    OK, thanks for answering, but after reading all the instructions and help on Adobe website, it was clear that it was my OS user ID that was wanted, but that kept being rejected, too.  So today I contacted Apple support and it took a half hour to correct the problem, which was with the original ID——everything had to be reset, e.g. new ID, keychain reset, etc. and then I was able to get the new Flash Player.  It is still STRANGE to me that nowhere else did I have a problem, but it seems it was a glitch with Mavericks and my computer.
    Good to know it was not Adobe…….
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    in my knowledge*.fla-files are uncompiled flash movies, ie flash-player (one of  browsers plugin) cannot "understand" them. To get a flash movie in the right format you should compile/convert it (*. swf  e.g).

  • How to avoid installing newer version of flash player

    Hey,
    After installing the newer version of flash player it caused troubles to me, and I don't see any way but to install an older version of Flash Player, however after I have installed it the game forces me to Install the newest version of Flash Player, otherwise it cannot run. So here is my question. How can I use an older version of Flash Player I had before without installing the newer version of it?

    Hi, You can go to this test site to see if you have Flash Player Installed on your 10.6.5 Mac.
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Then this link has info on how to Uninstall Flash Player (if needed) and Install the latest version. It is a step by step.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html  
    After reading that info and you just need to Install, then this link would be easier:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Flash Player is a browser plugin and as long as your browser is supported by Adobe Flash Player, then you shouldn't have any problem.
    Hope that helps,

  • I have  a newer version of flash player installed then what is listed as the most recent version??

    Hello,
    I am checking the version i have installed of flash player via the adobe version check option at the site and i have version 11.8.800.94 and when i check the list of the latest versions of Adobe, i see 11.7.700.169 listed as being the latest vversion. How can i have a version installed that's above that? I haven't installed a beta version, never signed up for beta testing and all i did was install the latest version of flash player via the website.
    I am wondering what this is cause recently when viewing videos on youtube, my videos tend to hang up or end halfway through and think the video ended when it's not. My guess now is that i have sumhow obtained a version of flash player that's not correct and thus why the videos go haywire now. Re-installing flash player sets it back to the 11.8 version again, so that didn't work.
    Any information any1 might have that can solve this is much appreciated.

    11.8.800.94 is the latest version for Windows and Mac. 11.8.800.115 is the latest beta version. http://helpx.adobe.com/en/flash-player/release-note/fp_118_air_38_release_notes.html

  • Why can't I install the newer version of Flash when I already have the older one?

    My virus software is turned off. I have Flash currently on my computer. In the troubleshooting page I can see the clouds in the picture so I know my current flash is working.  I went into the internet settings for add-ons and the flash is currently enabled.  Why can't I install the newer version of Flash? I tried the run and save option and it still didn't work. I can see the installer in my downloads folder. But, all I get is a black blank box that does nothing. What else can I try to get the installer to actually install the updated version of flash?

    Try the offline installer(s)
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Flash Player for Mac OS X

    Hello,
    I have a similar problem than sam6sam had except that I'm on Safari. After the Mountain Lion security update I did last Friday, I had to update Flash. I installed .149, deinstalled, restarted, reinstalled .149 about 2 dozens times and it didn't work. Yesterday I saw that you had .167 and thought "finally they will have fixed this issue". After doing the same deinstall restart and install routine another dozen time, I give up! 
    I've followed all the instructions on this page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html 
    and this page:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5067997#5067997
    and this page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
    and still nothing.
    It looks like it's installed. When I go into System Preference Flash Player shows "Plug-in version 11.6.602.167 is installed.", yet when I want to see a flash video it tells me that I don't have the software and need to install it. My Safari Preferences allow for Pop-up and Enable Plug-in. My "open 'safe' files after downloading" is clicked.
    I've search all of Adobe, Apple and other geeky website's "help" area, and nothing I tried worked, including the "sudo" commands in the terminal (the answer to this one is "command not found").
    I'm really frustrated by this. There is certainly something that I overlooked, but I cannot figure it out. Help!

  • I've "successfully" installed the latest version of Flash Player. How do I find where it "lives" so that I'm certain it's in there. Also, do I put the App icon in the trash now? (I am on a Mac) Thank you!

    I've "successfully" installed the latest version of Flash Player, as recommended by Firefox. How do I find where it "lives" so that I'm certain it's in there. Also, do I put the App icon that appears on my desktop, in the trash now? I am on a Mac and I am not technically inclined.
    Thank you!

    Your list of plugins shows that you have installed Flash 10.2 r152 which is the current release version.
    You can also confirm that Flash is installed by visiting this link - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
