My computer keeps telling me I need to install flash player when I'm trying to play a game,

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. I've even uninstalled flash player and reinstalled it, but it still doesnt work.  Why won't my computer let me installupdate flash player??

Hi,
Could you please go to the following page and let us know the Flash Player version installed on your machine? http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
Also, please let us know your operating system and browser.
Thanks,
Sunil

  • We are getting a pop up that says we need to install flash player plug in. we tried everything, nothing works

    we can't play any games. it says we need to install additional plug in, for flash player. when we attempt to install, it says we already have the newest version installed. but nothing works. can not find the install anywhere. we had a computer person working on it and she could not figure it out. she tried everything. Do we need to uninstall firefox and reinstall it?

    Could you review your plugins list and see which (if any) Adobe/Shockwave plugins you have now:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
    When you go to the following download page and choose "Flash Player 11 for Other browsers" and download the installer, what is the actual name of the file that gets saved?
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    Mine's called "install_flashplayer11x32_mssd_aih.exe"
    Occasionally software installs are not completed until you restart Windows. You might want to try that at some point if you haven't already.
    Adobe has a cleanup tool described in this article where you can scrub out all Flash versions and start again. [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
    I do not recommend uninstalling Firefox.
    You can refresh your Firefox installation or update to Firefox 20 by running the Firefox installer. You do not need to remove the old version first. You can get that download here:

  • Keep getting message 'you need to install flash player to play this content'

    but flash is up to date (shockwave flash 16.0.0.305) and set to always activate. it is a plug in and i have uninstalled flash and reinstalled it.
    there is an earlier shockwave plug in (9.0.45.0 from 2007) with a red vulnerability warning next to it. ive tried to remove that but cant. however, that has been there with the warning message for years and this problem only started this week, seemingly at random

    Your System Details list shows an old Flash 9.0 r45.
    * Shockwave Flash 16.0 r0
    *Shockwave Flash 9.0 r45
    You can find the installation path of all plugins on the <b>about:plugins</b> page.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Identifying_installed_plugins
    You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and possibly (re)install the latest Flash player.

    It might be because the billing address you provided doesn't exactly match your bank records.  It has to match your statement exactly.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646.

  • 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

  • Need help Installing Flash player 10.3 for firefox. It stops at 50%

    So I have Windows Vista Basic Home, I tried updating my Flash version in firefox because it was out of date, but everytime it start downloading it , then I get the a message that says "Error " Appliation in use."  I uninstalled it and followed all the suggestions on the websites nothing is working. I even  uninstall google chrome thinking it was the problem but I'm still having that problem so I really don't know what to do because now the only place Flash player is installed seems to be Google chrome that I had to redoawload, but everywhere else tells me that I need to install it.

  • What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

    You do not need an Adobe ID to download Flash Player.  However, your operating system may prompt you for a userid & password during the installation of Flash Player.  That userid & password is the administrator password of your system.
    Windows:
    During the initial installation of Windows, a built-in Administrator account is automatically generated.  The person who installs Windows will be prompted to supply a password for the Administrator account.
    There may be more than one account with administrator privileges.  When installing Flash Player (or Adobe Reader), the operating system will ask you to provide a userid & password with administrator privileges.
    Mac OS:
    When you FIRST turn on your Mac you are asked to choose an administrator password. You need that later when you install or update software. To install or update Flash Player (or Adobe Reader) you need that administrator password.

    A little more detail for Mac users:
    This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
    If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt.  If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
    If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
    If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

    2. I did not install leopad or lion, but I use other page, keynote and numbers, do I still need to upgrade the latest lion?
    thank you for your help

    Some malicious site try to get you to install malware by saying yo have to update Flash.
    Only update Flash via Adobe's site.
    What version of Flash is currently installed?
    In System Preferences they may be an entry for Flash in Lion. I do not remember. There is for Yosemite

  • Need help installing Flash Player 9

    I am trying to install Flash Player 9 on my Mac G5 OS10.3.9 I
    had it installed previously but son clicked on some sort of
    download while online and now it's not working. Yesterday it worked
    fine.I downloaded the FlasPlayer install and ran it but it always
    stops at "Items remaining to be installed -4" and just keeps
    running. I even left it go overnight to see if it finished, which
    it didn't. Please help me figure out why the remaining 4 items will
    not install. I usually use Safari 1.3.2 as my browser but I also
    have Internet Explorer 5.2.3 loaded on my computer.

    I have exactly the same problem on my G4 laptop running
    10.4.8. I hate Adobe. There isn't even a means of contacting them
    to register the problem. Apparently nobody there wants to hear from
    us.

  • Help needed to install Flash Player : 'Non-Current Release' problem!

    I been encountering problems while trying to install Flash Player on my laptop running Windows 7.
    Originally Flash Player does not work as I understand it is not supported on 64-bit Internet Explorer.
    After installing 32-bit IE, the following issue of 'non-latest version' arises and all installation were aborted by the application :
    The below were steps I had taken to no success.
    1.  Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded flash player un-install program and did the uninstallation with success.
    2.  Rebooted the laptop.
    3.  Via the 32-bit browser, downloaded the flash player version 10.0.45.2 from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
    4.  After downloading it automatically did the installation with 100% completion.
    5. The program proceeded to activate the flash player with a webpage saying if the flash player is working properly, I should see a video and Flash Player's logo.
    6.  Before anything was displayed, an error message popped up to say I was trying to install a non-current version and that I should go to same webpage to download the latest version. The activation was then aborted.
    Tried many times but always encountered same problem and hence cannot proceed to use the flash player.
    Need assistance to diagnose the problem and to get Flash Player working on my laptop. Appreciate any help to get it working.
    Regards.

    Thanks to efforts of eidnolb and Bob, the installation of flash player into my laptop is now working .
    Bob's installer enabled the download successfully.
    Eidnolb's link in post 6 trigggered me that I may have previously installed the pre-release version 10.1, thereby leading to the 'non-current-version' problem too. Post in that link adviced to uninstall 10.1 using the pre-release uninstaller.
    I suggest others who had encountered this non-current release to uninstall first using that specific uninstaller, before attempting to install the most current release. I may have installed the 10.1 pre-release in desperation after failing numerous times trying to figure out why flash player does not install in browser not knowing its currently-non-support of 64-bit browser.
    Once again thanks for support, eidnolb and Bob.
    Cheers.
    Kelvin

    When I go to the install Wizard, I get the prompts but do not get a "run" or "save" box. I currently have Flash Player 10.0 in my computer. I use Windows 7 in a HP PC.
    I'm also having problems using You Tube. Is this related?
