Installing Flash Player When All Else Fails

Hello! I have tried every tip I could find on the boards an still can't get Flash Player to work with Internet Explorer.  Flash Player is installed but not working.  I have Windows 7, Service Pack 1.  64-bit operating system.  Internet Explorer 10.0.0200.16686, 32 bit.  Flash Player ActiveX Version 11.8.800.174 (32-bit).  I have double checked that Flash Player is enabled in Internet Explorer, that the internet and trusted site settings are set to medium, that Active Filtering is enabled and that ActiveX Filtering is disabled in Internet Explorer.  I also upgraded the Toshiba display driver to 8.15.10.2189. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

Hi Pat,
Thank your for your reply.  I am refering to 2 different things.  When clicking, in internet explorer (1) tools, internet options, security, under both internet and trusted sites, custom level, under scripting, active scripting, the dot "enabled" is checked.  (2) under tools, safety, activeX filtering is disabled.  When I click on a video that requires Flash Player I get the following:
on www.cnn.com front page - a blank video
on other CNN videos - "This CNN feature is optimized for Adobe Flash Player version 10.1 or higher"
on www.cbsnews.com - i just get a blank/white square with a small square in the upper left hand corner that has a black box with a white "x" in it.
on www.youtube.com - I get a message "! You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.  Download from Adobe" but then after a second, the video works.
When I go to control panel, click on flash player, advanced, it says that the "Plug In Version" is not installed.  Not sure if that makes a difference.
I also checked my control panel, programs and features, and Adobe Flash Player 11 Active X is the only version of Flash Player I have installed.
Thank you so much!

  • When all else fails!!

    i was gonna write out this big ol'dissertation about my futile attempts to get issues resolved with my shuffle but opted instead to go the short version....
    when all else fails, carefully hold the ipod parallel to a desk, counter, or other hard surface and slap it down...hard!!
    VOILA!!! It works!! for how long who knows but it sure beats all the headache i was faced to perform trying to get any tech support.
    was i wrong?
    Dell   Windows XP  
    Dell   Windows 98  
    Dell   Windows XP  

    was i wrong?
    I have found that percussive maintenance is sometimes useful as a last resort.
    If it worked for you and your iPod is now healthy, then it guess it wasn't wrong.
    I don't recommend that everyone try this as it could certainly have disastrous results.

  • Keeps asking to install Flash PLayer when I already have??? Help Please!!!

    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

    My computer keeps telling me to install/update flash player when I"m trying to play a game, so I do and it tells me its installed. But, when I go play the game again, it tells me again to install flash player to play the game.  I've done this numerous times.

  • Hilarious!! After CS5 install Flash Player crashes all the time

    Hi,
    maybe Steve Jobs is right. Mac Pro 10.6.3, 12 GB RAM, 3 GHz 8-cores, everything is running peachy.
    I install CS5 Premium Design Trial, while installing asks me to quit Safari and Firefox. It install Flash Player 10.1.
    Now Safari crashes ALL the time. Multiple sites, NYTimes, HuffPost, etc.etc.
    I wonder why Adobe is doing everything possible to make SJ right.
    De-install, back to old Flash, seems to work.

    They probably packaged it before the latest release candidate was ready.
    Anyway - it would be better to discuss that problem in a CS5 forum - is there one?

  • A facebook game (ZumaBlitz) That I have been playing for years is causing me to be prompted to download and install flash player, when I do it still doesn't work.

    Why has Zuma Blitz and other games stopped working? I have downloaded and installed flash player but it still doesn't work.

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

    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.

  • I can't install flash player at all, not matter what browser is in !

    Hi
    I have this annoying problem with my Flash Player, I can't install it no matter what i browser it is in. When eg. I have to play a video from youtube, I can't use IE (Internet Explorer) to play it in, but in Googles Chrome and in Mozillas Firefox, there it works without any problem.
    Another problem is also when I am going into www.adobe.com in IE, then it says - For the complete experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser. Thank you! , the script is active in the internet settings, I have check, but it is still not working.
    If I uninstall Flash Player totally, and I would like to  installed it again, I can't do it,, not matter what browser, it just stops, when iI try to install it . There is no problem installing or updating, Air, Shockwave. In this matter Flash Player will not cooperate at all, it will not let we installed it at all.
    New I have tryed is that I installed the new flash player 16 demo, there were no problem in the installation, but it will still work in IE. It still says - For the complete experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser. Thank you! on www.adobe.com and it still not works on youtube.com. The script is active in the internet settings, I have check, but it is still not working.

  • Problems installing flash player for all users on a computer (domain)

    Hi all,
    I've had a quick search but have unfortunately not found any answers.
    I've just setup a new image using WDS to install 55 new Dell computers. Flash player was installed as part of this image, the problem i'm getting is that if I log in as a domain administrator I can run flash fine with no problems, however if I log in as a domain user, and try to visit any site that requires flash, i can't seem to view any flash content.
    When logged in as the domain user and navigate to control panel I can see the "Flash player settings" option and when I view installed software I an see that flash player 11 is installed.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be? - Do you require admin rights to view flash files?
    Any help would be extremely grateful!
    Thanks.
    Matt

    It might be a permission problem in the Flash Player install folder.  Try a clean install on the original machine.
    If that does not resolve your problem, can you tell what Windows version & edition you are using?
    Also check the permissions of all files in
    C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
    C:\Windows\Syswow64\Macromed\Flash

  • Why does Facebook Farmville 2 keep asking me to install flash player when it is already installed in firefox?

    My os is windows 8.1.  I use firefox.  I play facebooks farmville 2.  It keeps asking me to install the new 3d flash player which is already installed. I've followed your steps and nothing has worked.  I cannot play farmville 2 on firefox because of the necessity of installing the flash player which is already installed.

    Are you using AdBlock Pro or another ad-blocking or anti-tracking technology?  If so, you should try disabling it.

  • How to solve 'Reading Text Global Resources... Done' hang on loading CS v8.0 when all else fails?

    I have spent a day trying unsuccessfully to load CS version 8.0 in Windows 7, following a crash. The load proceeds until the message:
    'Reading Text Global Resources... Done', and then it hangs.
    I have tried clearing the Prefs files of all files. Didn't work.
    I have tried deleting PS altogether and reinstalling the program from the disk. Didn't work, and the Prefs files are empty now.
    I have tried removing most of my fonts*, and it still hangs. Those not removed were the ones the system would not allow me to move or delete.
    I have tried removing recent plug ins and software updates that might have caused the problem, specifically Adobe Flash and Java. Didn't work.
    What next, any ideas?
    In the panic we all know and love,
    Peter
    *in Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts or Windows\Fonts, can't remember which - does it matter?

    Hi Cooper,
    If you found any other solution in these days other than the code mentioned above please let me know as i have a similar requirement now.
    As you mentioned "It is not possible to modify variants with values longer than 45 characters",
    So if this is not possible then how can we resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance.
