Is Flash Player 15 free with Windows 8 on a Toshiba laptop?

I was using Spotify, and while it worked, it suddenly stopped. I small screen came up that said something to the effect of "you need to update flash player" or "you need to download Flash Player" and I clicked the button that said something like "get flash player" and the music suddenly started playing again. Did I do something wrong? Was that download free and was it okay to do it that way?

That depends on what browser you are using.
Internet Explorer on Windows 8 has Flash Player embedded; you need to run Windows Update to update the Flash Player version.
Google Chrome has Flash Player embedded; you need to update Chrome in order to get an updated Flash Player version.
for all other browsers you need to download and install the Flash Player plugin.
And yes, all Flash Player versions are free.

  • Is Flash Player fully compatible with Windows 7?

    Is the latest version of Flash Player fully compatible with the 32bit release version of Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8?
    I am asking this because since I reinstalled Windows 7 32bit and Flash Player I am experiencing problems with Flash.
    My action centre informs me that I have a problem with Flash Player and I should go to Adobe's website and address the problem.
    I have uninstalled Flash and reinstalled Flash as Microsoft and Adobe advise, several times but I still get problems.
    I uninstalled the 64bit version of Windows 7 because Flash was causing too many problems.
    Since reinstalling the 32bit version I have had several reports of Flash Player not working properly, Skype reporting problems and IE8
    using compatibility view when I view some web-pages with Flash in them.
    When attempting to view Netto's webpages Flash fails to work and I am told to download the latest version of Flash again.
    I do not remember this problem occuring with either previous versions of Flash or with Windows 7 RC.
    Is anyone else using the Professional version of Windows 7 32bit experiencing the same or similar problems?

    OK,
    Windows 7 Professional 32bit system,
    IE 8.0.7600.16385,
    Flash 10.0.32.18,

  • Flash Player installation problems with Windows Embedded (WES/XPe)

    I've deployed 13 HP T5740 Thin Clients at my office, each have Windows Embedded Standard (WES/XPe) and with Internet Explorer 7.
    With limitations on VMWare servers and sound, users need to view webinars on their local client. When I try to install any version of Adobe Flash Player, the installation instantly fails...no reason given.
    Is there a known issue with this? And is there a workaround?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    It's not working at the mo and it says under run without permissions - Shockwave Flash Object Enabled version 0.0.0.1
    Just tried to download version 10.2.153.1 and now the download manager opens but then just 'hangs' - nothing happens.
    On Firefox, version 10.2.153.1 installed and enabled OK. No problem playing clips with Firefox.

  • Can anyone please just walk me thru getting flash player to work with windows eight, please???

    see the subject - that's it, I would just like for videos to play, please

    Windows 8 comes with Flash Player for IE. Running Windows Update should update it. "Should"... doesn't mean "will" though.
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking the following link.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Save it... don't run it.
    Perform a "clean install" following the instructions at the following link:

  • Flash player not working with windows vista

    I cannot use the
    flash player or the adobe reader on my computer. I haev high speed cable and windows vista system. I was advised by my isp to uninstall norton software and to try to install the adobe flash player again. I am given the instruction to download and it says its downloading. I go to youtube for example, it will continue to tell me to update to the flash player. Also, i somehow have bing as my toolbar on my computer and am not able to follow the direction of the instructions to trouble shoot online. I still have the norton un installed and cannot use the flash player or the flash reader. Can I get some help?

    Hi, thanks. I would Uninstall and Install again, but use these instructions.
    Download and SAVE the Uninstaller to your Desktop:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Then download the Installer for IE and SAVE to your Desktop:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Use the link that is shown for Windows, Internet Explorer and the Installer EXE
    Close all browsers, disable any messenger services in the system tray(area near the clock). Depending on which Anti-Virus/Firewall program you use, you may need to disable those. Some will block the download of the ActiveX Control for Flash Player in IE.
    Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer, then run the Installer for IE, When finished, Reboot your computer.
             You can test each browser here and you should see the Flash logo animation and the Flash Player version.

    In general, when desktop software is using Flash Player, it's because they're embedding an Internet Explorer window in the application.  If you don't have Flash Player for Internet Explorer (aka. the ActiveX Flash Player) installed, then the desktop application isn't going to work. 
    So, fire up Internet Explorer
    Go here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Follow the prompts, and then re-launch the application after you've completed the installation in IE.  Hopefully that sorts it out for you.

  • Why does flash player not work with facebook?

    Why does flash player not work with fcebook?  Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player.  When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one.  I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows.  I don't know anything else.

    This means you don't have the latest version installed.  Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • Does Flash Player only work with web content?

    Thought I'd better start a new thread on this, as my previous
    question has shifted emphasis.
    Does the free Flash Player download only provide Flash
    capability within the web browser? Or can it play local SWFs? If
    not, do I need the whole Flash product to just play?

    > Does the free Flash Player download only provide Flash

    > product to just play?
    yes, yes, and no
    YES: The player you download is the activex control and
    Netscape plug-in
    that browsers use .. not a separate program. So yes it is
    effectively for
    use in the browser only.
    YES: You can fire local SWFs using it by opening them within
    your browser.
    It is only for web content.
    NO: You do not need a stand-alone flash player (that comes
    with the Flash
    product) to view SWF content (local or on the web)
