My control panel says adobe flash is installed. But it doesn't always work.

Hi..I am running windows xp pro and
had Adobe which was working fine, then I was told to update and since then no Flash player
all the time. I can view youtube movies, but sites like Kodak Photo and Hallmark and
ebay tell me I need to update my flash player. When I go to control panel it shows that Adobe 10 is installed and windows/system32/macromedia/ also shows that Adobe 10 is installed. I have been trying to solve this problem for a long time. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi, did you use the Adobe Uninstaller first or just click on the website that advised you to update?
The old version of Flash Player needs to be Uninstalled first before Installing the latest version.
Adobe Uninstaller:http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html  Download and SAVE to your Desktop.
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the FP Installer for IE:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Read over the Uninstall instructions first.
If you have any questions just post back.
Thanks,

  • Adobe Flash Player installed, but content doesn't work

    Adobe Flash Player works after I install it, but then
    evenually it stops working. I have tried lots of support methods,
    including downloading Microsoft's tool to fix permission errors. I
    am using
    Windows Vista Home Premium and the latest version of
    Adobe Flash Player.
    I noticed somewhere that there was an old thread like this
    with someone having the same problem. I saw that someone who
    replied showed a screenshot of what the permissions for
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT should look like. Interestingly, they
    don't appear to match.
    Here is the screenshot:

    Please help me fix this problem. Without
    Adobe Flash Player, I can't do numerous things, such as
    watch videos on
    YouTube.

    I have solved the problem, thanks to this post:

  • I have installed adobe flash player severally but it is still not working

    I really need help as i can't use applications that are involved with flash player. I have 32 - bit HP compaq and i use windows 7.
    I have really installed , uninstalled and reinstalled it severally. I have also gone on the help and support in adobe looking for help but nothing seems to be working for me. I need to have it up and running for me.

    @ogksd - As Vikram mentioned checking for the shockwave addon is the first troubleshooting step that we recommend.  Here are two FAQs that should help:
    Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer
    ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer

  • Adobe Flash Player installed - but not working

    I have Windows 7, 64 bit, with Internet Explorer 11.  On the day before Thanksgiving everything was working fine.  I received a greeting on 11/27 and was unable to open it - I was told I needed to install Adobe Flash Player - assumed it was an update - but since that time I've been unable to open any of the puzzles on Shockwave, or cards from greeting card providers - probably some other things, but I haven't found out about them yet.  Every time I try to open any of these programs, I get a message that I need to install the flash player.  My control panel shows that I have Adobe Flash Player 15 Active X, 6 MB, version 15.0.0.239 installed and the add-on manager under tools says it's enabled - but it escapes me what it's enabled to do other than drive me batty and waste all my time.  I've rebooted the computer, closed all IE windows, numerous times after uninstalling the program and then reinstalling it - all a waste of time.  Is there any advice out there?  Linda Kochefko, El Dorado, KS

    is Active X Filtering something that should show up under Tools, Manage Add-Ons?  If so, I think I had it earlier this week, but it's gone now.  In my efforts to eliminate the Flash Player so I could reinstall a working copy, I may have uninstalled too much.  It's not listed under Programs or under Tools at this time.

  • Many sites require Adobe Flash 11.1, but emac doesn't support any version beyond 10.3. What do I do to get Flash 11.1 installed?

    Many web sites now require Adobe Flash 11.1. When I try to install it, nothing happens. Apple says Tiger and Leopard support only Adobe 10.3. What am I supposed to do to get Adobe 11.1 installed?

  • I have the latest Adobe flash player installed but it does not show up in my add-ons or plug-ins on Firefox 3.6. In the plug-in check, it recognizes that the shockwave flash is up to date. How can I have the plug-in appear and be enabled on firefox?

    I have uninstalled the flash player and installed it numerous times with no recognition by the Firefox plug-ins. I also have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it as well. I have also restarted my computer several times as well. The flash player is certainly installed but not working on Firefox. Thanks in advance for your help.

    James j,
    You have a different problem. Your screenshot shows "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed".
    See [[Plugin crash reports]] and [[The adobe Flash plugin has crashed]]. If you need more help you should [[ask a question|ask a new question]] (start a new thread).

  • Adobe Flash plugin installed but not showing up

    Since 2-18-2013, my Adobe Flash Player is neither appearing as being installed with FireFox19 ... NOR does it work on any website other than the Adobe "verify" page. I have:
    a. Removed Flash Player and rebooted
    c. Reinstalled Flash Player from download location; rebooted; restarted FireFox.
    d. Removed latest flash player (per "c" above); rebooted.
    e. Downloaded a older version of F/P, rebooted, restarted.
    Bottom line: No Flash Player works.
    When I (somehow) navigated to the "about:plugins" there is NO Flash Player.
    HELP ... I'm a senior and so frustrated now.
    Thanks in advance.

    My problem is exactly the same as the first poster. No doubt if I started a new question there would be someone telling me "that questions already been asked". The point is those solutions and all the solutions suggested on firefox support aren't working for this problem. That this occurred only with the new version of firefox is indicative of a deeper problem specific to this build.

  • Adobe Flash - Not Installed, but is??

    I was acessing a website that stated I needed to update my Adobe Flash, tried to upload and I just got the page that showed me what to expect and not update.  So I uninstalled the version I had and tried to upload the new version.  Still nothing happens, it's like it's there but not there.  When I go to the adobe site to see what version I have it tells me that it is installed and that it is version 10.3.181.26.  When I look in my All Programs I don't see it, but when I do a search on Adobe Flash Player in my All Programs, I find install_adobe_flash file.  But it won'd install.  I am using Windows 7, IE 8 and it does not indicate  64 bit.  Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi readerbob1, I see what is happening now. The way the Forum works when anyone first registers, is that they select an option to receive email notifications from the Forum. Now when jek56 started the thread, then anyone that posts a message, he will receive a notice. If he chooses to reply by email, then his email address is posted also. Not a good idea since this is a Public Forum.
    Since you posted a message on this thread, then you too will receive an email notification. Anyone and everyone that posts a message to this thread will receive an email notification. I receive many, since I'm on many threads. Right now I have around 1300:-)
    So you thought you were replying to jek56. You were, but doing it via the Flash Player Forum.  I thought you were ignoring Pats' request that you start your own thread.
    Ok, now that we have that cleared up; just a bit of advice to avoid this in the future. Whenever you or anyone that may be reading this receive an email notification, then just page down a little and use the "visit the message page" That will bring you directly to the thread and will not bring your personal email with it.
    Sorry for jumping the gun; so I'll take back what I said.
    But honestly, it would be so much easier if you started your own discussion. Like Pat said it can get very confusing for everyone, since you may follow directions that are meant for someone else and vice versa.
    Thanks,

  • When I download the updated version of flashplayer to my new updated firefox, flashplayer will say it has successfully installed, but it still does not work?

    When I go back to look at something (movie, song, etc.), Firefox again tells me that I need to update the latest flashplayer in which I have already done. What could be wrong?I do not know if this is on my end or between both firefox and flashplayer. I have done everything possible that I know how and I have followed the directions carefully. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    There are two different versions of Flash for Windows, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by Firefox and most other browsers.
    1.Download the Flash Plugin version 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, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
    4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    * On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />
    See this: <br />

  • Adobe flash is installed, but firefox won't use it

    I have flash 11.1 installed. It's icon appears in my app list,but firefox' add on list doesn't have it. How do I fix this?

    I have a very similar problem, as do lots of others judging by the number of posts in this forum. I use Flash rarely, so unsure when things went wrong, but I first noticed with Fx 34.0. I tried 34.1 - same. Now on 33.1 - same. Not prepared to try reinstalling any earlier versions as it's so much work (have to uninstall Fx completely, reinstall from backup and set up Fx completely from scratch including all add-ons).
    What I have found is that if I reinstall Flash, then it works the first time Fx is used. Once Fx has been completely closed down, then Flash will not work in Fx again until Flash is again reinstalled. Obviously this is not a working solution.
