My flash player is installed but not working?

I have the Adobe Flash Player 9.0 Installed, but when i open
games that require it. They say i don't have Flash 8.0 or higher
would i like to install, I then hit yes and it gets 1/4 of the way
through stops and says i don't have access to install it goto the
website and install it. I've done that and it's installed
completely. 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).

Flash Player X installed but not working (6MB file instead of 15MB)

I installed version 11 Active X 11.5.502.135 BUT it is only 6MB file and should be 15MB so it does not play videos. It did not hang up during installation (download timeout) but went right ahead and installed but it cannot be the full deal. I have unistalled older versions and started fresh but no go. Can anyone help please?

Thanks for looking at my problem Pat.
1) In the list of programs in the control panel. The Flash Player file
is 6MB but in the Adobe site
download button it says the file size is 15MB.
/Name/___/ Publisher Installed        Size             Version/_
Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX        Adobe Systems Inc. 12/11/2012
6MB       11.5.502.135
I thought maybe it is only partially downloaded or partially installed.
2) I should say nothing plays. I get this screen always:
The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback.
Get the latest Flash Player <http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/>
What do you think?
Thanks again,
Dave Dawson

Flash Player 10 installed but not woking

I have spent hours and hours trying to solve this issue on my own from all the adobe forums and forums on other websites about this issue. Still can't get FP to work and I need it working ASAP for my on-line college classes. Getting very desperate and would be incredibly grateful for a solution if anyone can help.
Note: Just before writing this I uninstalled FP active X via control panel and rebooted. The files are still in macromed as listed here, but I have uninstalled FP for a(NOTHER) fresh start.
Here's are the notes I have so far after seeing/trying help on other posts...
Flash player was working now every time I need to use FP it tells me to install but it is already installed.
Program does not show under Start, All Programs but it does show in the Control Panel uninstall list.
I don’t remember exactly when FP stopped working, but I’m not sure I’ve been doing much recently that would have required it, so may be longer than I think. Probably relatively recently though.
I have searched and searched for answers in the forums so I’ve tried several things people suggested, still not working.
Wondering if the problem is this….the ActiveX control is not showing in Manage Add-ons even though I clicked to install it when installing FP.
SYSTEM INFO:
Vista 32 bit
IE 8
Foxfire 3.6.8
Shockwave Player ver. 11.5
Norton 360 ver. 4.2.0
Google toolbar ver. 4.0 w/pop-up blocker enabled
I am the Administrator and only user on my laptop
What I’ve tried so far:
Adobe website shows FP video that it was successfully installed right after, but I just tested again and the Adobe site says to view content I JavaScript enabled and need FP installed. FP is installed however, and still not working.
Tested Shockwave Player through Adobe site and it says it’s installed and working
Checked to ensure Shockwave Flash Object & Java were enabled in IE tools, managae add-ons
Checked that no older versions of Java were installed
IE Security Level to medium
Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted (a few times)
Uninstalled, rebooted, installed through cnet’s downloads
Checked for updates for IE, Foxfire, Flash Player, Adobe Reader, & Java
Files listed under acromed folder:
            Flash10i.ocx
            FlashInstall (text doc)
            FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll
            FlashUtil10i_ActiveX
            Install (text doc)
Ok, think that's all I have at the moment. Please oh please, someone help me before I throw myself out the window!

Thank you so much for your time! Okay, I think I have what you need, if I understood it all correctly. Here goes...
I just installed FP again, did not get the video showing on Adobe site that it was successful even though the download said it was.
Uninstalled using Adobe uninstaller, then tried install once more with the same result.
The macromed Flash folder still has the same files as listed before:
Flash10i.ocx
FlashInstall (text doc)
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX
install (text doc)
In Control Panel I see:
Adobe Download Manager
Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX
Adobe Reader 9.3.4
Adobe Shockwave Player 11/5
Showing & enabled in IE Add-ons:
get_atlcom Class
Shockwave Flash Object
Adobe PDF Link Helper
Adobe PDF Reader
The Active X Control for Flash Player is not listed in IE
Don’t see any relevant add-ons in Firefox. BTW, I don’t usually use FF and only downloaded it again because I’d read that FP was working for some people in FF when it wasn’t in IE. So, if we don’t get FF working with FP I’m good with that.
No NPSWF files in the Flash folder for me to right click.
Can't give you any version numbers.
Did I miss anything?

Mac IOS Flash Player updated installed but not detected

I have repeatedly installed the new version of FlashPlayer when prompted over the past few days. My computere shows the installation as successful, but it's not working. I've visited the Adobe Troubleshooting page, and it does not detect the installation, although my finder show the program as installed. My computer is compatible with the new version, although I'm running an older IOS - Snow Leopoard ( 10.6.8) I've reinstalled several times following all directions - uninstalled old version, unblocked pop-ups, disabled fierwall.
VERY frustrating!
What do I do?
Thanks!

Snow Leopard is not iOS... iOS is an iPhone, an iPad or an iPod Touch. And there has never been a Flash Player for iOS, because Apple made iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touch incompatible with Flash Player right from the start.
You probably need to do a "clean install": How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X

Flash Player 11 installed but not detected in IE 8 or IE 9

Windows 7 Professional 32 bit OS.
Com registration is correct as we can load shockwave into an exe.
Flash Player 11 is installed and can be detected via Firefox but not via IE 8 or IE9.
Performed all the trouble shooting steps including Active X filtering and Enabling.
Used IE Development tools including profiling and compatibility without any success.
Uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times using the Adobe uninstaller at
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html#main_Download_t he_Adobe_Flash_Player_uninstaller.
Registry appears correct.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
No errors are appearing.

I've been trying to reproduce this for the last few weeks but so far have been unable to. If I understand you correctly, when you go to this page:
http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/testsuite_2_2/test_dynamic_multiple.html
You're seeing the alternate content (most likely prompts to update/install flash) for all 4 blocks? Do you have any idea what I could be missing and why I can't reproduce this?
Thanks,
Chris

Flas player 11 installed but not working

Adobe Flash Player 10 installed but not running

I installed Adobe Flash Player 10 from the adobe site, and it said that it installed successfully, but when I try to watch videos on facebook or youtube it says I need to download flash player. I tried installing it again, but the install window just popped up again and said it was already installed. I restarted my computer several times, but flash player still won't run. I need help please!!!!

Hi, ok. I'll give you the instructions that you need to follow. Now McAfee must be Disabled otherwise it will block the Install of that Shockwave Flash Object. In addition to Disabling it, you will have to check it at certain steps in the process, since it will re-enable itself and block the Install.
First, some pre-Un/In steps to take. Go to Tools, Internet Options and make sure Security is set to Medium for the Internet Zone. You can do this now. Next, take a look in the system tray and know how to disable any applications that use Flash(messenger services, etc.)
Download the Uninstaller and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download the Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Disable any apps in system tray that would use Flash
Disable McAfee
Close all browsers, you'll just be looking at the Desktop
RUN the Uninstaller. When it is finished, Reboot(restart) your computer. Allow it to fully Reboot. Then check McAfee for all of the components that you Disabled to make sure it did not re-enable. Then Reboot again(to clear out old files) Then check McAfee again.(If McAfee has re-enabled either time you check, then Disable as you did before)
When fully Rebooted, RUN the Installer for Internet Explorer. Reboot Once.
Now Re-enable your McAfee if needed; since it may have already re-enabled after that Reboot..
You may want to print this out so it will be easier to follow. When you are finished, go to the test site and post back the results.
Then go to the add ons and see if the Shockwave Flash Object is now Installed and Enabled.
Let me know if you have any questions.

YouTube and MAJOR video sites are converting to HTML5 video which requires no plug-in.
IE11 is a "rolling train wreck". The idiots at Microsoft DELIBERATELY screwed up the "user agent strings" so it can't be Identified properly (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2013/09/21/internet-explorer-11-user-agent-str ing-ua-string-sniffing-compatibility-with-gecko-webkit.aspx), and they think this was a good idea. Millions of users like you say otherwise, but then, it isn't the first stupid decision they've made without any testing at all in the real world. No wonder Apple has topped them as the #1 tech company on earth.
I recommend using ANYTHING AT ALL besides IE:
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Flash player saying installed but doesnt work

i have a toshiba laptop with internet explorer 6 and its an
xp machine
basically some websites that need flash redirect me to the
adobe flash player site and i click install and it installs.
then an animation plays when its successfully installed
but then when i go back to the website that requires
flash...flash doesnt work!
im going crazzy now cos no-one knows what to do.
any suggestions. any???? xx

Well, first of all you might want to get IE7. Just go to
filehippo.com. In any case, go to start>control
panel>internet options. Go to the security tab and set the
internet zone to default>apply. Then go to the privacy tab and
click on sites. Make sure the website is allowed to set cookies.
Then set the cookie slider to medium or medium-high. This internet
options screen is different for IE6 and IE7, so your buttons may
vary slightly from mine since I have IE7. Really, IE7 is better in
my opinion and your favorites will carry over.

HT5655 Feb 2013 Adobe Flash Player Upgrade Install Does not work - metafile issue

I tried uploading the Feb 2013 update without success. Adobe troubleshooting suggested uninstalling existing version of AFP - which I did - still get "Metafile Instalation failed" - now have NO AFP. Adobe says they are aware of the issue and working on it. Any ideas as to how to reupload my old AFP version??

That's great to hear that you were able to find a solution.
I've been trying to fix this issue with Adobe for 5 days now and no one is coming back to me (tried the terminal cd solution and it doesn't work).
Luigi could you expand on where you were directed to find a solution? Running
sudo ./Install\ Adobe\ Flash\ Player.app/Contents/MacOS/Install\ Adobe\ Flash\ Player
has only given me a "command no found" message.
Thanks

Flash Player installed but not working....

had a virus 3 days ago which was resolved with assistance from Microsoft. Now Adobe Flash does not work (when I go to Youtube, it says I do not have the latest version. I have unistalled, restarted, installed at least 10 times. Sites still say I need the latest version. I do see Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X in the programs in my control panel. I have downloaded version 10.1.102.64. I am running IE8 (i assume 32-bit since it does not say 64-bit) on Windows Vista. I have checked the files in my windows/system32/macromed/flash folder and it show the following files:
Flash Player Trust folder
Flash10I.ocx
FlashInstall
FlashUtil10I_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10I_ActiveX
install
I had turned off my Norton AV and firewall. I have also made sure that all security has been set to medium at that java scripting shows as enabled...
Flash player still does does not work: says I need to install latest version on websites (youtube etc.)
HELP!!

Hi, I see you've been on quite a few forums advocating Firefox & Chrome. All this does is give them a browser that perhaps Flash Player would be performing as it should. But it doesn't solve their issue with IE.
And referring users to follow procedures meant for another user under different circumstances and computer configurations
is not in their best interest.
All you are doing is confusing the person, since the required information about their computer has not been obtained.
You may want to rethink posting referrals, I could do that myself, since I'm on a lot of threads here.
