Issues with Adobe Flash Player installation

My computer said I needed to update Adobe Flash Player, so I did and it says that I have it in my programs, but when I try to look at stuff on the internet it still keeps saying that I don't have it or need to update. I have been trying to fix this for the last 3 days, uninstalling and reinstalling and doing everything your website said to fix it. It still isn't working. I've done all the manage add-ons and enabling scripts things you said to do and nothing works. Please help! My daughter likes to play games and watch videos on here and we do everything on this computer, never had a problem until the last several days. This computer is fairly new, 64-bit using Windows 7. Do I need to have the flash player plug-in also if I already have Flash Player 11?

Meaning Shockwave Flash object is enabled?
Check if ActiveX Filter is enabled; it needs to be disabled.
P.S. you only need the plugin for other browsers than IE (e.g. Firefox).

    1. Restart your computer to stop any Adobe process that is running.
    2. Click on the following Adobe  link. Go to the bottom where it says "Still having problems?". Click on the version of Flash Player for your browser.

  • Firefox 3.6.23 having freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin

    Firefox 3.6.23 is experiencing constant freezing and rebooting issues with Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, not sure if it is a conflict issue or not.
    Since the update there had been no reported issues till today when the blue screen came up on me, this issue prior to plug in 11 had occurred at least 6 times, this issue only happens on firefox.
    I do not wish to update since recent firefox browsers seem to have a lot of ongoing issues.

    Anyone able to help please?
    Thanks.

  • Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser

    Having issues with Adobe Flash player hanging the browser.
    WIN 7 enterprise 32 bit / Firefox 19.0.2 /
    Internal company website keeps giving attached screen shot error, and hangs the browser when error pops up.
    Steps taken:
    Uninstalled Adobe Flash player with the file “uninstall_flash_player.exe”
    Deleted provided directory in instructions
    "Copy and paste the following and click OK.
    C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash        
    Delete all the files in this folder."
    Rebooted PC and reinstalled the flash player directly from “http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html”
    Re launched company website and received same error.
    Repeated above steps as well as uninstalled Firefox browser.  Even went so far as to remove all profile information to start fresh from all profiles on the laptop with the same results.
    Note: The web page will work without the flash player plugin, and my page doesn’t hang the browser. Required to open page in FireFox per company policy.

    I'm sorry you're encountering this.  Could you paste a few of the most recent report ID links displayed when you go to "about:crashes" in the Firefox address bar?
    As for workarounds, the first thing I'd suggest is trying our 11.7 labs release which you can get here: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer.html
    If that doesn't help, please try the troubleshooting steps outlined in this FAQ:
    How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
    In particular, I'd recommend temporarily disabling protected mode (for troubleshooting purposes only) to see if that addresses the issue.

  • Issue with Adobe Flash Player- Help

    I used to be able to use my webcam! I downloaded the Adobe Flash Player and now I can't use it anywhere!
    I am unable to see the Privacy pop-up allowing me to Allow or Deny access to my camera & microphone.
    Then when I get to the settings on one site, I see only 3 tabs: Display, Microphone & Camera.
    Help?
    I have it clicked on my built in iSight.
    Before I downloaded the it I clicked on USB Video Class Video and it worked. Now that doesn't even show up!

  • Help with Adobe Flash Player Installation

    I need help.  I have tried several time to download Adobe Flash Player to my computer.  But when I get to about the 50% point of the installation I get a message that says "Please close the following programs to continue.....and a small box appears with the words "internet explorer".  I make sure that I am not on the internet (close internet explorer by clicking the X in upper right corner), and then hit the RETRY button....but the same message keeps appearing.  What do I need to do to at this point so I can complete the installation?  Even though I know that the internet is not open...what can I  do to make sure that Internet Explorer is not open? 

    You need to close all iexplore.exe instances; use the Task Manager's Processes tab.

  • Issue with Firefox & Flash Player Installation

    This topic has probably already been brought up but I need
    some help, please! I can't seem to find anything that matches
    exactly what I'm going though here.
    Yesterday I did a clean install of Vista. (I had some missing
    .dll files for some reason). I re-installed Firefox, and went
    through with all the Windows updates, etc. and everything has been
    fine. Today, I have been trying to install Flash Player through
    Firefox (Flash player is working fine on IE). It goes through the
    motion of downloading it from the Adobe site, and it also states
    that the download is complete, but when I go to a website such as
    Facebook, it's giving me a couple of messages. The actual site's
    message is: "Flash Player upgrade required. You must download and
    install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player to view this
    content." as well as I get the yellow bar up top from Firefox
    saying, "Additional plugins are required to display all the media
    on this page" and has a button to click saying "Install missing
    plugins". When I click on either this button or the "Download
    Flash" button on the actual webpage, again, it goes through the
    motion of downloading it, but that's as far as it goes. In my
    "downloads" window, it shows a bunch of times that I had downloaded
    the flash player, but it doesn't even give me the option to open
    the file.
    Up until yesterday, I did in fact have flash on Firefox.
    Another thing I noticed, was when I re-installed Firefox, the
    download scheme is a little different (I don't have the download
    box at the bottom of the window anymore and I'm not sure why or if
    this is just a new version of Firefox that I didn't have before.)
    In any event, when I would save the flash player during the
    download, I tried a couple of different locations (desktop and
    another location in C drive) but when I go to those locations,
    there is nothing there.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I was having the same problem installing Flash 10 for Firefox
    and getting the "Insufficient Disk Space" message. I believe this
    happens to people whose main local disks have a name other than
    "C:" Mine is "G:" I think the problem is that its an install
    package that automatically tries to install it on a C: local disk
    directory. There is no option to manually install it to a different
    directory, so we seem to be out of luck.
    However, I did find a link explaining how to manually install
    it:
    http://www.varesano.net/blog/fabio/installing+flash+player+plugin+firefox+without+having+a dministrator+access+or+premissions
    At step 1. Right click the link and choose "Save Link As" and
    delete the ".xpi" extension and type ".zip" to save the file as a
    ".zip" file.
    Even though the instructions are for a different problem, I
    followed the steps and it worked fine for my problem as
    well.

  • Question on Adobe Flash Player Installer/Uninstaller 12.0 r0

    Okay, I have windows 7 home premium 32bit installed on a dell vostro 400. I'm using 2 browsers, Internet explorer 11 and Firefox the latest version.  I have found that an installation of a plug-in and an activeX extension work in internet explorer and It's really confusing as to which one is for which sometimes.
    I need someone to to help me with Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 12.0 r0.  It's causing some problems for web browser based email clients and slows down almost to a hault then won't close at all after it crashes.
    Is there any way I can clean & fix Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 12.0 r0 with out removing flash cookies when using internet explorer?
    Is there any way I can have firefox block flash play from playing anything?

    First, there are two Flash Players for Windows (three if you count Chrome's PepperFlash plug-in)
    ActiveX is for IE - IE needs it because it uses 1993 ActiveX controls for security, which is not really secure at all, and complicates everything you do with IE.
    Tha standard plug-in is for Firefox, Opera, Safari and several other lesser known browsers like Maxthon and Seamonkey.
    If you use IE and another browser, you nee both, and they both need to be up to date. As Imentioned Chrome has its own which updates through the browser.
    To make sure you're up to date for both, download the following:
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Flash Player Uninstaller
    Also, download these:
    Shockwave Player Uninstaller
    Shockwave Player 112 FULL installer (ther browsers)
    You'll need to install Shockwave with the FULL installer for IE too, but there isn't a direct download for it. You'll need to go to: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions/ using IE AFTER everything else is done.
    Save all the files and close your browser.
    Run the uninstallers first (both of them)
    Go to: C/Windows/System32
    Delete the Macromed folder.
    Open your Registry Editor (Start>Run or press the Windows key + R and type 'regedit' [minus the quotes] and click OK)
    In the Registry Editor, go to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE
    Delete the Macromedia folder (Right click and choose "Delete").
    Go to:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software and delete the Macromedia folder there too.
    Close the Registry Editor and empty your recycle bin.
    Run the Flash Player installers, and then the Shockwave FULL installer you downloaded.
    Lastly, open IE and go to: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions/ to download and install the Shockwave FULL installer for ActiveX (IE).
    For Firefox, I recommend FlashBlock (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock/) It's prevent ANY Flash content from loading until you allow it manually. It can get to be a pain, but you eventually get used to it.

  • Privacy/Security Issue with Adobe Flash 10

    Not sure if anyone has noticed this or not, but there is a
    bizarre (if minor) privacy/security issue with Adobe Flash Player
    10. I came across it while attempting to upload a file to Flickr.
    Previous versions of AFP do not exhibit this problem.
    Specifics: using Firefox 3.x, Vista.
    The problem: When Flickr calls the "open file" dialogue in
    Flash 10 (in order to upload files) via the "Upload Photos and
    Videos" link, at the bottom of the dialogue, to the right of the
    "File Name" box, sits a common UI element that brings up a dropdown
    menu of what appear to be (or at least are supposed to be) recently
    viewed or downloaded or accessed files. Actually I'm not sure how
    Flash 10 compiles or accesses this list of files, but at any rate,
    a list of files come up.
    The problem is that, as far as I can tell, the list of files
    that come up reference a long list of files, some that are very old
    and that no longer exist, and that there is no way that I can find
    to clear the list. This is a minor security/privacy issue, as
    generally there should be a way to prevent a dialogue from
    displaying a long list of past-accessed files by clearing a cache
    somewhere or other -- imagine if it was impossible to clear the
    history of a web browser, for example -- this would be considered a
    pretty significant privacy issue. I have tried everything from
    flushing the browser cache to uninstalling and reinstalling the
    browser to uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash to using the
    Flash Settings Manager to clear out the Flash saved sites to
    turning off Vista indexing to clearing out Vista's Recent Items
    list. None of these actions did anything to clear out this list of
    files. I can find no references to these files anywhere when I use
    Vista Search (with unindexed and system files searched as well),
    and I can find no reference to the files anywhere in the registry
    (I checked just in case Flash 10 was storing this index in some
    really bizarre place.) I've linked to a screenshot below of what
    I'm talking about -- most of the files listed below were deleted a
    long, long time ago, and so I have no idea why this dialogue refers
    to them.
    Screenshot
    Is there a simple work-around for this that I'm unaware of?
    Even if there is, there needs to be some more obvious way to clear
    out this list. Where is this information being stored, and what
    criteria does this list use to "put a file on the list"?

    Thanks for putting me on the right scent. That's what I'd
    originally thought, too -- it's just that the file-> open dialog
    was giving an entirely different list of files with other
    applications, so I assumed that it must be Flash that was the
    culprit. Turns out the reason it was different with Flickr was
    because it was restricting the file results via a long string of
    video and picture filetypes that are compatible with the Flickr
    service.
    It turns out the information I'm looking for is buried deep
    within the registry. The only way to clear out this list of files
    is to delete the following key (or specific subkeys):
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSavePidl MRU
    Seems more than a little stupid to store such information in
    the registry if security is your concern. Vista beguiles me
    sometimes.

  • I need to uninstall Adobe Flash Player Installer/Uninstaller 14.0 r0

    I need to uninstall Adobe® Flash® Player Installer/Uninstaller 14.0 r0 but have looked everywhere for how to do this & can not find out how to do this can someone please help? I am using A Sony Vaio, Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit, I use Chrome Version 36.0.1985.143 m.
    I want to get it off of my system because ever since I installed it I have had problems with Chrome loading it does not want to load then if I restart my comptuter & I click on chrome  5 windows open up at one time a white box appears saying "Your profile can not be used because it is from a newer browser version of google chrome. Some features may be available. Please specify a different profile directory  or use a different version of chrome" then if you click ok it shuts all the windows down. I have figured a way to get one window to stay open so I can use chrome, now I do have other browser I can use but I do not like them  at all & do not have a flash player since mine is built in with Chrome. So on to the other problem that began as soon as I downloaded this & I understand it may not be this but I still want to get it off of my computer. I also have been having trouble with my flash player error messages: saying it has stopped working constantly, it says upgrade flash text, a plug in shock wave flash isn't responding then in (stop plug in) it wants you to hit.  I have run 3 different Mallware programs through my computer just in case that was one question that was going to be ask. No other programs jave been downloaded wither.
    I am not very good with computers so I have to come to places like this for help & I really have to have help explaining what to do because  do not know much about computers other then getting on them & surfing the web & some basic things. When chromes message said specify a different profile directory that went right over m head. So that should give you an idea where I am coming from. I want to thank you in advance & hope I have made sense in what I have written I tried to give all the information that I could.

    Your screenshot of task manager clarifies things.
    When I replied, I had been looking at the screenshot of the desktop from the original poster, which shows the uninstaller executable and it's properties.  That executable doesn't install anything -- it can just be dragged to the trash; however, that didn't completely align with the behaviors either of you were describing, and we've been trying to figure out what you were talking about.  It wasn't making a lot of sense to me, and it's not a question that I've seen come up before, at least not articulated this way.
    FlashUtil32_XX_XX_XX_XX.exe is the sandbox broker for Internet Explorer.  You can read more about the sandbox work here: Flash Player Security with Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10
    The description listed in Task Manager is a bug, and the source of the confusion.  We've been doing a lot of work modernizing our build systems, and this is fallout from that work. This is something I'd like to see cleaned up, but it's pretty low on the list of priorities.
    The broker service is invoked when Internet Explorer is running in Protected Mode.  On my Windows 7 machine running IE 10, running Flash content in Internet Explorer with Protected Mode enabled causes the broker service to be invoked (this is probably true for previous versions as well, but I didn't test them).  If I disable Protected Mode and restart Internet Explorer, the broker is not invoked, which is expected.
    To disable Protected Mode, launch Internet Explorer and choose security.  Uncheck Enable Protected Mode.  Internet Explorer will restart, and you should be able to verify that the broker is no longer invoked when loading content with Flash Player.
    I've included a screenshot showing the expected processes in both scenarios below.  As the Flash Player ActiveX control is loaded into an Internet Explorer process, you'll see the child explorer.exe process listed, which hosts the Flash ActiveX control in the process list.
    Sandboxing the Flash Player plug-in is an important security mitigation intended to increase the cost of successfully developing and deploying malware.  While it's not a panacea, it significantly raises the bar for attackers.  As I'm sure you've read in the news and trade literature, the threat landscape has evolved significantly over the last few years, and modern security threats and their mitigations are a necessary reality.  New mitigations typically come with some additional processing overhead.  The overhead varies based on the architectural choices made by the particular browser vendors, but the overhead in IE is pretty reasonable.
    We haven't published a blog post specific to IE, but if you're interested in the implementation details, the sandbox architecture is similar to what we did with Protected Mode for Firefox on Windows.  The Flash Player process that handles untrusted content runs at Low Integrity, which restricts access to critical system resources in the event that you encounter malware designed to take control of the Flash Player process.  Access to system resources is negotiated through a Medium Integrity broker process.  Without Protected Mode, the Flash Player process handling untrusted content runs at Medium Integrity, making it easier for malware to escalate privileges from a hijacked process.  Depending on the functionality in play, a lot of message-passing can take place between IE, the broker and Flash Player.  We've effectively doubled the number of messages that get passed, plus put a bunch of validation checks in, and all of that consumes CPU.  It also makes your web browsing activity more secure.
    Some desktop applications (Yahoo Messenger, for example) also use the ActiveX version of Flash Player installed on your machine.  This could explain why you see Flash Player and the broker invoked unexpectedly.  We're also aware of an issue on Vista where the broker doesn't always exit as expected.  In that instance (and on WinXP), I'd highly recommend that people use Google Chrome for web browsing, as Google has extended some security mitigations that would only be available to Internet Explorer users running in newer versions of Windows, and it doesn't suffer from this specific issue with the broker.
