Installing flash player was not and still not easy for me

How do I install Flash Player on my BlackBerry Bold? Need help.

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one (or both) of the following links and selecting the "Save as" option.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Reboot, and then run the installer(s) from your downloads folder.
See: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337 to disable hardware acceleration, as that usually leads to freezes when streaming content.

I have installed flash player but the computer does not recognise it

I have installed flash player 11 and checked it is installed on my compuer.
But if I try to play any media it says I need to install flash player.
I went to your website at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html and got this message.
I have tried uninstalling flash player and then trying again, restarting computer etc. But the computer will not play any media in IE.
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:

You already have most current version of Adobe (Shockwave Flash): version 10.0.45.2
The instructions on the Adobe site are out-of-date and incorrect.
You can download the Adobe Download Manager if you wish, but it has caused some problems, and I would advise against it. See the following for information on Adobe DLM:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+do+I+edit+options+to+add+Adobe+to+the+list+of+allowed+sites
'''You have the Adobe DLM''' listed in your plug-ins; '''''getplusplusadobe16263'''''
See:
'''Uninstall Adobe Download Manager'''
It has caused problems for many users. In the following article, scroll to near the bottom and follow the instructions under the heading "Getting rid of GetPlus":
http://www.404techsupport.com/2009/09/get-adobe-flash-and-reader-without-getplus-in-firefox/
~~red:'''The suggested method:'''~~
'''Install/Update Adobe Flash Player for Firefox''': your ver. 10.0 r42; current ver. 10.0 r45
See: '''[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+the+Flash+plugin#Updating_Flash Updating Flash]'''
-download and '''SAVE to your hard drive''' (save to Desktop for easy access)
-exit Firefox (File > Exit)
-double-click on the Adobe Flash installer you just downloaded to install it
-when the Flash installation is complete, start Firefox, and test the Flash installation here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507&sliceId=1
*'''NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7''' you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm
*'''NOTE for IE:''' Firefox and most other browsers use a Plugin. IE uses an ActiveX version of Flash. To install/update the IE ActiveX Adobe Flash Player, same instructions as above, except use IE to download the ActiveX Flash installer.

Tired of installing Flash Player 10 over and over and over again!!!!!!

Why do I have to keep installing Flash Player 10?? Every time I go to a site that uses Flash, it tells me I need the newest Flash Player. I click the link, install it, and everything works great...until...I close windows and come back later when it makes me repeat the whole thing again. Adobe won't give me the time of day when I try to talk to them. I've resintalled it about 50 times. I've uninstalled it per tech support instructions who told me to install version 9. I specifically asked if it will then tell me I need version 10. He assured me it would not. The next time I went to Youtube...guess what. I'm told I need to download Flash Player 10!
Using Windows Vista and IE8

>but I wouldn't tell you to install vs 9, unless you were using Windows98 and IE4 or 5:-)<
Why do you think the Tech told him to install version 9?
>I have several threads open right now, take a look at some of them. I'd probably ask you the same questions.
Just a suggestion.
Thanks,
eidnolb<
What thread links do you have open to help us out?
>I would need you to post back your Flash file versions, SWO in add ons, Security and Firewall you use, etc.<
1. What is SWO?
2. I have Adobe DLM(powered by getPlus(R) 1.6.2.63 which then underneath says
"The getPlus(R) Download-, Upload- and Installation Manager is a sophisticated tool for an efficient distribution of digital goods."
This is interesting because from the Adobe Naviation menu under Support>Forums>click on the Flash icon that says "Adobe Flash Player"> and refer to USER POST: betsyg3 "We can't watch videos without adobe flash" where a link is suggested to show you which version you have. The suggested link says "Do you see the Flash animation at http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ ?" there is a list that shows what version you should have that looks like this:
Platform Browser Player version
Windows
Internet Explorer (and other browsers that support Internet Explorer ActiveX controls and plug-ins)
10.0.45.2
Windows
Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, Opera (and other plugin-based browsers)
10.0.45.2
Macintosh - OS X
Firefox, Opera, Safari
10.0.45.2
Linux
Mozilla, Firefox, SeaMonkey
10.0.45.2
Solaris
Mozilla
10.0.45.2
and right above it there is a box that shows what version you have yet the version it says on the addon page is not the version that is on that link.

I have been looking over this information and having similar problems. This issue is a privacy issue and needs to be resolved.
I had another conversation with a buddy of mine:

i heard there was a privacy issue about if you dont upload to the newest release of Flash then people can access information stored on your computer through your cookies that Flash uses

actually let me rephrase

My flash player was upgraded and now my fox tab add on is not working. Ive uninstalled and added back but have had no success

What do i need to do to get it working again? it just shows a blue screen

Thanks.
Try this:
Make sure you folders are marked as not hidden. Click your start menu, type in "show hidden files and folders". Click on it. A new window will appear that should be titled "Folder Options". Click on View. Scroll down until you see Files and Folders. Make sure to check "Show hidden files, folders, and drives". Click Apply and then OK.
Next, open your browser and go to your foxtab page (Ctrl + Q). Right click on the background. You should see a menu with "Global Settings". Click on it. A new window should appear that says "Flash Player Settings Manager". Click on Advanced tab. Scroll down to "Trusted Location Settings". Click on it. In the window, click on "Add". Next window (Add Site), click on "Add Folder".
If you showed your folders and files, the path should be easy to follow:
Add Folder - Computer - C: - Users - YOUR COMPUTER NAME (username) - AppData - Roaming - Mozilla - Firefox - Profiles
You do not have to open Profiles all the way. Just click on the folder. Click OK. You should now see it in you Trusted Location Settings.
You may need to close the browser window and reopen it to make the changes take effect.
Hope this helps.
Let me know if it doesn't.

Looking for a way to tell if installed Flash Player version is ESR or not.

We push out latest versions of Flash Player to the enterprise using a patching management suite. Every time a flash patch goes out, it rolls over (and updates) our computers that have a need to run the Flash ESR branch. Is there a registry key or specific file in the file system that indicates that the Flash Player version installed is the ESR branch and not the latest branch?

Hi Adam,
The way to identify if the version installed is ESR or not is by the major version number, which is '13' at this, whereas the current version is '14'.
The Flash Player files themselves have the version number in the file name. The files are located in \Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash and \Windows\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash (if you have 64-bit OS). On Mac, the version number is in the Flash Player.Plugin Info.plist file.
For registry entries, Flash Player creates the following entries with version number:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerActiveX > Version
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerPlugin > Version
If on 64-bit OS, additional entries are created in the Wow64Node for the 32-bit player version (since both 32- and 64-bit versions of Flash Player are installed on 64-bit OS).
HTH.

Internet Explorer thinks Adobe flash player is unsafe and will not download

Hi,
I am using I.E. 9 and Windows 7 64 bit os. Everytime I try to download the Adobe flash player, I.E. will stop it and say it's been reported as unsafe. Any way around this? Thanks for any help you can provide!

Downloaded Flash Player several times and still doesn't work

A week or so ago I got a virus on my computer. I used Malware Bytes to remove it, and I also have
AVG. I run both of these daily, along with the updates, so maybe they're affecting my ability to use Flash. Ever since the virus, my computer keeps telling me I don't have Flash and that I need to download it. I've downloaded it many times now, but it still appears that I don't have it. I check in Internet Explorer Tools and Addons, and it doesn't even seem to show up in there. I'm using Windows 7. I even tried un-installing and re-installing. If I use Firefox, Flash works, but I prefer to use IE. Any help?
Thanks!

Hi, Sorry for the delay. Downloading that zipfile to your Desktop is only needed if you found that the Kill-bit was set. Following is part of the first message at the Kill-bit site that Pat put up.
open the registry editor: Start | Run | type regedit.exe
navigate to this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}
if that key does not exist, then the "kill-bit" for Flash Player is not set
if it contains a DWORD entry with the name Compatibility Flags that has any value other than 0x00000000, then the "kill-bit" for Flash Player may be set
Following these instructions you are only "looking", you're not to do anything or change anything yet. You are just looking to see if that Registry Key is there. Like the Step 3 shows, if that Key is not there, then the Kill-bit is not set and you can just close that and you are done.
Do you think you can do that?All you are really doing by clicking on Start, then Run and entering "regedit.exe" in that space that opens up after you click on Run is regedit.exe (don't enter any quotation marks though) All this does is opens the Registry so you can look for that Key.
If that key is there, then let me know. The problem is that if that Kill-bit is set, then no matter what you do, you can't Install that Shockwave Flash Object, ActiveX Control for Flash Player.
Hope this helps explain it.
Thanks,

Can't Re-Install Flash Player at all and now Can't Re-install Shockwave Player

I am helping a user who states his Flash Player vanished, when trying to download the latest version we are getting:
error message: "Installation failed. www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166"
The system is running Windows XP Pro and Internet Explorer 6. I have tried all of the troubleshooting and tips/tricks found here and via searching with Blackle. This user has to use all sorts of types of flash players to do his job and needs to get Adobe's running again. I have tried everything and he is NOT willing to reimage the pc yet. Can anyone help???

Try uninstalling Flash Player first, then do a clean install
download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157 (save to disk);
download the offline ActiveX installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe (save to disk);
close all browser windows, then run the downloaded uninstaller, followed by the installer.
The offline installer for Shockwave Player is here http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/default/english/win95nt/latest/Shockwave_In staller_Slim.exe

I have installed flash player several times and it will not work.

I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled it several times to no avail. itsays it successfully installed but refuses to work.

What is your operating system & web browser?
What exactly means "will not work"?

Installing flash player was not and still not easy for me
