Latest Flash Player not working since loading it

My husband is a surfer, and until Dec. 3 was able to view live streaming surf contests online.   After getting the "must have latest Flash Player" message from every video/live stream he/we try to watch, and downloading Flash Player 11 three times (once with the help of a Symantec tech)and we still get the "must have latest Flash Player" message, dear husband has not been able to watch the Pipeline Masters now going on in Hawaii...NOT a happy camper.   Is Flash Player 11 not compatible with IE8?    How can we get videos running again?   I don't want Chrome, so please don't send me there.  Thanks.

Flash Player 11.9.900.170 requires:
2.33GHz or faster x86-compatible processor, or Intel® Atom™ 1.6GHz or faster processor for netbooks
Microsoft® Windows® XP (32 bit), Windows Server 2008 (32 bit), Windows Vista® (32 bit), Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit), Windows 8 (32 bit and 64 bit), or Windows Server 2012 (64 bit)
Internet Explorer 7.0 or later, Mozilla Firefox 17 or later, Google Chrome, or Opera 11
512MB of RAM (1GB of RAM recommended for netbooks); 128MB of graphics memory
I agree with your sentiment about Chrome. I use it on test machines only. I won't have it on my everyday computer(s). There are other browsers that work better:
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Safari (from Apple)
Opera
Those use the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers)
I personally use and recommend Firefox. It's faster, safer, and it can import ALL your IE settings (history, bookmarks, login info and passwords) when you install it, so you lose nothing. Plus... they're free.

  • Adobe Flash Player not working since update

    Good Morning, I had a update yesterday and since then anything that uses Flash Player doesn't work, it stops sends a report to apple and thats it i've tried uninstalling the flash player and still nothing, I tried repairing the permissions in disk utility. Really no clue what to try next.

    I now have a solution to this problem, which has certainly worked for me.
    Backup system. Go to User/Home/Library/Preferences. Move all files in the Preferences folder to a new temporary folder on the desktop. Log out and log in again. Test. Embedded video should work.If it does, copy the old preference files back to the original Library/Preferences folder but select DO NOT REPLACE. Log out and back in again.
    To retrieve e-mail accounts, mail, and account settings, copy the COM.APPLE.MAIL.PLIST file from the temporary desktop folder into the Library/Preferences folder and select REPLACE. When you're happy that all your data is in place and everything works, delete the temporary desktop folder.

  • Flash Player not working since update

    I recently updated my Flash player and since then I only see a black box when something tries to play.  No error message or anything- just a black box.  I am running windows xp with mozilla firefox 3.6.8.  Any ideas?  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the flash player and I can always see the animation saying it was successfully downloaded.  I also tried disabling the firewall in CA Security Center and that didn't work either.  Any help would be appreciated.  THanks!

    Hi, sorry for the delay. Thanks for the info. To disable hardware acceleration, just go to youtube and bring up any video and right click on the video. Click on Settings, then Display Settings and you'll see where to turn it off.
    Ok on the SWF plugin Enabled. Unless you upgraded to a 64bit system, you most likely are using a 32bit. Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash   Open Flash and post back all files listed there. Any NPSWF file(s) you will need to right click on and then click on Properties to obtain the version numbers.  If you need directions to locate the Flash folder, let me know and I'll post them.
    Once we have this info, I'll have some info on CA for you.
    Thanks,

  • Flash player not working since v11

    Running:
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
    Catalyst 13.1
    Firefox 19.0 32-bit
    Flash 10.3/11.6
    So my problem is, every version of flash beyond 10 I have tried to install, has failed to work on my computer in nearly identical ways. The download works fine, the installation works fine, the plugin appears in firefox, and the flash version detector on the website works fine. However, where there should be a flash video or game, there is either a blank space, a black space, or a still image of the playback program (as is the case on youtube). I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash and firefox multiple times and deleted every cache I could find, to no avail. I've been using v10 for a while now, just so I can view videos, but it still bothers me that this has not been resolved. Any help would be fantastic.

    You could try running through the steps in this post
    How do I fix Windows permission problems with Flash Player?
    It would be helpful to know if other browsers work or not.  This type of behavior makes me think that either a browser addon or a system utility/service is conflicting with Flash.

  • Flash player not working since last3 days, charts not open in given web page-

    http://money.rediff.com/companies/hdil/11620084

    I'm also having extreme problems with Flash. I did the
    uninstaller thing too, I re-booted over & over again & it's
    still not working. I can't view anything that uses Flash!!! It
    shows up as being installed on my computer, but all the websites I
    go to say "you don't have the new version installed-install now."
    There's a link to install, I get the pop up on my toolbar to
    install Active-X, but nothing happens.
    If anyone has new info...please help

  • 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)

    flash player not working.  can't watch video and can't upload pics to facebook

    thanks for helping.  I have windows 7, internet explorer.  recently had to replace my hard drive, and compete reinstall of all software so still a few bugs on settings, ect.  not seeing any error messages.  video and uploading pics seemed to be fine until the last week.  not sure what could have changed .  I can still look at PDF ect, I'm not positive its the Adobe that is messed up, but the 2 things I'm having problems with, clicking on and watching video on espn.com and not uploading pics to Facebook, both just does nothing when I try them.  no errors, just black screen where its suppose to play or upload.  the trouble shooting for both sites say make sure to have the latest version of flash player, so thats why I assume something is wrong with Adobe.  when I do the self scan from this site it says I have the latest version.  my settings say the player is enabled

    I'm sorry if i did errors of spelling because I used google translation. I 'm french .

    I finally figured it out. Flash Player had not installed. I had to de-activate Active-X thru the safety tab on the menu bar and then download the Adobe Flash Player and now it's working. I re-activated Active X after I finished installing Flash,. Hope fully everything will keep working fine!
