Installing Flash Player... Please Help
Hi,
I continue to have difficulty installing flash player on my computer and am out of ideas. I'm running Windows 7 on my computer and have tried installing flash player for both Internet explorer version 9 and firefox version 10.0.2. In both situations I have previously been able to download the installation ".exe" file successfully but once I try to complete the installation I can only get to 12% completion before it either times out or I get an error message saying "cannot contact reliable source". I have researched both issues through the forums and tried the various solutions out there currently, including downloading from the adobe labs and running the uninstall program. I am not able to download the uninstall at all (again both in internet explorer and firefox and from the various sources posted throughout the forums). I have also checked my host file to confirm that I do not have anything blocking adobe downloads and have tried disabling my firewall to see if this would allow the installation to complete, again to no avail.
Does anybody have any further suggestions? I previously was running flash player without any issue, but once I uninstalled the old version to download the update nothing was working. Thanks for your help.
Dennis
if I just delete the files from those directories would that work without running the uninstaller?
Negative.
Try this:
Click Start, type System Configuration, click System Configuration, click Selective startup, uncheck Load startup items, click Apply, click Services tab, check Hide all Microsoft Services, click Disable all, click Apply, click OK, click Restart.

Download the installers for the Flash Player for Internet Explorer and Flash Player for other browsers.
Download the uninstaller
Disconnect from the internet.
Run uninstaller and reboot.
Delete the Flash folder in folders C:\Windows\System32\Macromed and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed.
Run both installers.
Make sure you do the following even if no download is successful.
Click Start, type System Configuration, click System Configuration, click Normal startup, click Apply, click OK, click Restart.

I have the 10.7.4 and I cannot get the Flash Player ,, please help me.
If you downloaded it, it's likely in your Downloads folder as a Disk Image .dmg. Just open it and intall Flash player and restart your browser. Everything should work.

Big problem installing Adobe Flash Player, please help?
Please help. I tried to download Adobe Flash Player 5 times without success. Every time it states Installation succeeded, but I can't find it anywhere.
I have to keep closing and opening Browsers without any reaction of the so called installed Flash Player. What a mess!Flash is installed as a browser plugin. You won't see it as an app in OS X. If you go here it will tell you if flash is installed and working. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Problem instaling flash player plz help
I am having problems instaling flash player 10, i am using windows 7 and when i try to dowmload it there is a window that comes up saying that it did not pass the integrity check can anyone advise me on what the problem is?
Try downloading the offline installer(s):
for Internet Explorer http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe (save to disk);
for all other browsers http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe (save to disk);
close all browser windows, then run the downloaded installer(s). -
Just got firefox yesterday, can load Adobe Flash Player, please help
Just got Firefox yesterday. This morn I tried to "Listen Live" or "Live Stream" from a radio station. It said I need to download Adobe Flash Player. It won't let me download it. Can you help please,
Thank YouThis may not be a Firefox problem as such. It may well be that you do not have administrative rights to install FlashPlayer, or for some reason security software is causing a problem. Exactly what do you mean by ''It won't let me download it.'' possibly any error or warning messages you get will be meaningful; what are they ?
See
* [[Managing the Flash plugin]]
Presumably you could use Internet Explorer, does that work with the radio stations ? <br/> note IR & Firefox are likely to need separate installs of flash Player, and certainly you will need to test each browser separately for flash Player functionality. -

Adobe Flash Player 10
An action Script error has ccurred.
Error.Error#2134: Cannot create SharedObject
at flash.net::SharedObject$/getlocal()
at njChat_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Please if any one can help with this it would be awesome!A few questions:
what is your operating system & version (also, 32-bit or 64-bit)?
what is your web browser & version (also, in case of Internet Explorer, 32-bit or 64-bit)?
what is your Flash Player version (see http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/)?
The error message you listed usually shows a problem of the web application, not on your side. Unless you have the Flash Player debug version installed. What does Add/Remove Programs list under Adobe Flash Player? -

HT1338 cant download latest version of flash player please help
Can some one help me. I can't seem to view all my pics or videos. Because i do not have the latest version of
flash player. Now everytime i try to download it . It disappears,so basically it never downloaded. Can someone
please help me..Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
See in each Browser which version of Flash it thinks it has...

Error encountered installing flash player, please try again later.
MacBookPro 13" OS10.7.5 Have done 4 separate downloads over a couple of weeks, and get the same response each time I try to install. I have looked at help document and it has been no help. I currently do not have flash player installed. Tried to do the right click thing but show contents did not appear like Adobe showed. So I am stuck. Looked at response showing the mach kernel thing, do not know if that applies to me and seems beyond most average users of the computer. I am understanding why Steve Jobs stayed away from this mess. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Hi sorry to hear you are having an issue with our website. I would recommend clearing the cache and cookies in your web browser.
If you are using IE you can do the following
1. Open IE
2. Click on Tools
3. Select Internet Options
4. Then click on <delete> under browsing history, and put a check in all the boxes
After it completes re-open IE and try it again.

Please Help Me Install Flash player
Yesterday I unintentionally uninstalled Flash player with a product named Perfect Uninstaller. During the process it states that the Item I uninstalled will be uninstalled now and forever. Every time I click "run" to install it starts for about one second and then stops completely. I'm beginning to think that they meant it and that there is some sort of blocking going on but that is just an assumption. I hope some can help. I am a novice obviously. I am using Windows XP.

Flash player worked perfectly fine on my computer and I've had it for about 2 years. But now for the past 2 weeks whenever I turn off the computer or log off the next time I sign in it says I need to install flash player. I have installed it many times but it keeps doing the same thing. I'm tired of installing it everyday so some one please help!!
Hi Gagan, Thanks for the info. You say sometimes the DLM will appear. If you can remember, was it used the last time that you uninstalled and installed?
It is supposed to install the FP and then disconnect, but sometimes it does not.
My suggestion would be to uninstall per http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html This is the offline Uninstaller.
Pay close attention to the last part of this article about rebooting when using IE.
This is the offline Installer :
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Download the Installer and run from your desktop after the Uninstaller is finished. Be sure to not have any Flash running,
close all browsers, check system tray, etc.
Just read over the instructions carefully regarding Security Settings, Permission issues, Norton Security, etc. before Installing.
If you have any questions prior to uninstalling/installing, just post.
Thanks
