My flash player stops working after a reboot.

My flash player stops working after a reboot. i have flash 12.0.044 installed on a dell laptop with windows 7. The flash works fine until the next day when I restart my computer. If I go to control panel / programs and features I notice that the program is still there but the icon has turned blank. If I re-install it works fine until the next reboot. I have asked the IT services company we work with and they have completely ‘rebuild’ my computer. (Installed new windows etc etc) and still the problem won’t go away. I am at a loss. Who can help? Thank you so much in advance. Duncan

I'd suggest trying a clean install: How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?

Flash player stops working after a few days.

I'm recently having issues with flash player on IE and Firefox each time a new version is released. This time the flash player stops working after a few days without any reasons. I have asked two other questions and I have tried the solutions but this time they are not working:

Could anyone tell me what the reason is?
I also need links providing Flash player for IE and Firefox which are always updated. I need to first download the installer then install it offline not install it directly from adobe website.
Please help me solve this once forever!

Linux - after update to firefox 5 64-bit flash player stopped working

After updating firefox 5 (from stable repo) the flash player stopped working.
I have had installed the adobe flash player square (64 bit) - by following http://queleimporta.com/en/finally-adobe-releases-native-64-bit-flash-10-for-linux/ ...
The .so library is still on its place(/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so), though firefox does not seem to have flash player installed.
before update to firefox 5 it worked
system is Xubuntu 10.04

Finally I've found out that it's possible to install flash from lucid repositories (which works... named 'flashplugin installer')... I've never noticed that before... So sorry for asking stupid question and thanks to anyone who spend some time even only by reading this thread.
//EDIT: so question 2 - how to tag the topic as solved? :)

Adobe flash player stopped working properly please help

i'm using adobe flash player version10.0.32.18 on vista, and everytime i open my facebook application, i often encountered adobe flash player stopped working properly, then the page will recover, then after few minutes it will stopped then recover again. please someone help me how to solve this problem.

Hi, Thanks. Your Flash Player files and the SWO(if it is vs 10.0.45.2) are correct. Are you having problems on other sites
or just that one? Are you getting a message that is different than "you need to update your Flash Player?"
Many times it is the websites or if you are getting this from a game, then that can be causing the problem. I haven't been
able to determine if the websites that have NOT updated to support the latest Flash Player are just putting out a generic
message or not. You might want to check with the site to see if they support FP vs 10.0.45.2.
You may have an add on that is conflicting also, it is hard to tell. Some anti-virus programs have add ons that may conflict.
Since several users are having problems with Facebook, Farmville, Zynga, etc. my opinion is that it is not your computer.
One that posted here is waiting on a reply.
Thanks,

Flash Player stopped working in outlook

After updating from google to google chrome my flash player stopped working in microsft out look, using microsoft office 2007 with vista. The the flash player works with google chrome but not with outlook. How can I fix this problem.

Outlook doesn't need Flash Player.
Do you mean Internet Explorer?
If yes, could you please check if ActiveX Filtering is disabled and Flash Player is enabled in the browser.

Location of plugins
    Look into the HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ directory and see if you have the below two files:
    Flash Player.plugin
    flashplayer.xpt

Adobe Flash Player wont work after all steps taken, what haven't I done to make it work?

I tried to play a game I love & I got this message: "To view this page ensure that Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.0 or greater is installed" So I went to your site to update my flash player & hit the "Test Flash Player" button & it came up
like this^^. I went to the suggestions your site provided & went to Manage add-ons to look for Shockwave Flash Object to enable it:
You can see that it is enabled by this picture I have provided. So it also asks me to make sure that ActiveX isn't clicked on & so I did:
As you can see it's turned off & I even tried it the other way where it has the spot checked & it still wont play. So I decided to see if I could reinstall it onto my computer & so in turn I got this message:
That is the message I got even after trying to delete Flash Player & reinstalling it. Now you can see my frustration with all this. Adobe Flash Player wont work after all steps taken, what haven't I done to make it work? I have a Windows 8.1 Pro, I use Internet Explorer which has the latest version on it, which is Windows Explorer 11 Version: 11.0.9600.17498 & I was also under the understanding that I also had the latest version of Adobe Flash Player on this computer as well. Can someone tell me what to do??

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Windows media player stop working after upgraded from firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.

windows media player stop working after upgraded from Firefox 6.02 to Firefox 7.01 yesterday.
the plugin for win media player is already installed and working fine in FF 6.02 before upgrade. i have Google this issue without any result so far. so i reinstalled the old version 6.02, until fix is found.
anyone has the similar issue with Firefox 7.01 in Win 7 32 bit ?

The issue was not with FF 7.01. VLC player version 1.11.1 is conflicting with windows media player when FF 7.01 tries to play media files! Which was not happening before in FF 6.02.
VLC and plugin media player need to be uninstalled first, then uninstalled FF 6.02. Install FF 7.01 and then win plugin media player again.

Flash Player stopped working for Chrome in Windows 8

Randomly, the flash player stopped working for Chrome. I run a Windows 8 system. Everytime I go to a website that uses the flash plugin (youtube, video streaming websites) a bar pops up telling me that the plug in will only work in the desktop. I've never encountered this problem before.
I have:
1. Checked to see if I needed updates. I'm all updated.
2. Reinstalled Chrome to try and fix it, to no avail.
Additionally, when I view the Flash Player settings from my control panel, under Advanced Settings, it says that the plug in version is not installed. However, I'm unable to click on that or click on the settings that say "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)".
What is going on? I really disllike running Chrome from the desktop and would like this to be fixed.

Chrome uses its own "proprietary" build of Flash Player, so you WON'T see any plugin in your control panel for it. You verify that it's enabled by typing "chrome://plugins" in your Chrome address bar. I'd provide a screenshot but I've REMOVED Chroime from EVERY system I have because it uses WAY TOO MUCH processor and it was launching by itself in the background on my Win 8 machine. I won't tolerate that out of ANY software.

Flash Player not working after updating to 10.2 - Plz help - my research project is on hold now

I updated my flash to latest version.. Everything gone.. Flash is completly not working now. I cannout see any youtube videos or any flash websites.
I tried all the way possible to troubleshoot it. But failed. Still not working.
My OS - Windows 7 - 32bit
IE - 9 (latested) 32bit
Flash Vesrion - 10.2 (Latest)
I tried all the ways mentioned in this case: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3145974
I have even removed teh compatible flag - such that to remove kill-bit, Still dint work.
I see that eventhough i install in my IE manage addons i dont find any flash player or shock player to enable or to disable. .its completly not there.. Its very strange.
I am using kasperky Pure. I could not figure out is there any option in kaspersky pure to disable ads block/popup.?
Please help. I am not able to understand what is the problem.
I have even noted some times automatically the flsh sites and youtube gets working after some reboot. But if i reboot again same problem.
I have tried installing and uninstalling several times. Even rebooted. But nothing works.
Please not i am not gettting any flash player addon options in my IE but i get the add on option in my Firefox which shows enabled. But still I have a doubt - what exact name of add on would be in FF. even in google chromes its not working. It says it has inbuilt Flash player.
Please help me to rectify it. My research project is getting pending with this issue. Please help me to rectify it as soon as possible. Please.

I am using Windows 7 - 32 bit. and the IE - 32bit.
I have tried all the uninstalling and installing procedure. But it did not work for me.
In my first post I had told that i was not getting any Addon in my IE. then i figured out when i click show all add-ons, then i see a shock player addon in my IE of the lastest verion 10.2. So please negelct that fact . I have an addon too in my IE 9
But nothing works.
When I go to the link you have provided. : http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Please note: (all the below browsers are very latest versions)
In chrome - See nothing (place is white)
In IE 9 - See nothing (place is white)
FF - See nothing (place is white)
when i right click on that place i get only 2 options:
1. Movie not loaded....
2. About Adobe Plash Player 10.2.152.26...
Even when i open the youtube. the video portions are blank. n when i right click on it shows the above same 2 options.
Kill-bit - when i checked it, i had a Compatible flag - but its values where all zeros. Still i deleted it. (So i do not think that was an issue)

2. Local Intranet -
Security level for this zone - Medium-low (Custom level - Scripting=enabled)
3. Trusted sites -
Security level for this zone - Medium (Custom level - Scripting=enabled)
Furthere - Uninstall programme shows as follows : (Kindly have a look)
Further - My knowledge - I do not have any adblock or adblock plus. I only suspect if Kaspersky Pure, if it has an option to block it. (I am not aware of it).
Further - In my Chrome Plugin i see like this : I have a doubt here- Why i have 2 shockwave flash versions?
I even tried disabling them one at each time alternatively and tried if youtube works - still same problem.
I am suspecting might be quick time could have generated this problem. i had recently updated the quicktime. But when i checked in the help forum I got to know that quick time can cause problem, so i completly uninstalled it now. I do not have quick time in my system - but still the probelm was same.
Please help.

Flash player not working after updates

My streaming videos stop working after the latest updates
there is no Flash player on the device.

If you had Flash Player before the update, you should be able to reinstall it from Google Play. Go to the Play Store and look under My Apps, then All and it should be there ... update it. There are several threads about this on this forum if you want to do a search.

Flash player not working after doing the update

I got an update on facebook saying that I needed to update my flash player. so I did, and now it keep saying that I need to update when It already shows that it is the updated version. now I cannot do anything that involves using flash, no facebook or online games or utube. please anyone if you can help me figure this out.

Recently, my games on Facebook and Youtube stopped working and prompted me to upgrade my flash player.
It included the link to Adobe, as do all the sites that require it.
So, I did. It says install successful, but it is not.
I use Safari on a Mac 10.5.8.
The flash player is still working on FireFox.
I tried many things so far and it is still down on Safari.
I tried upgrading from the internet.
I tried rebooting a flash player from my Creative Suite 4... that actually told me my disc 2 was blank during install!
I uninstalled flash player and reinstalled many times. No go.
I uninstalled my Flash program and nearly lost it!!
It would not reinstall from my CS4 discs.
A friend helped me and I am pretty sure the Flash maker is up again. I see the icons are back in place in the applications folder, but i did not try running it yet.
He thought the flash player was working again when he returned my computer, but it is still not working in Safari.
I tried downloading and reinstalling the flash player again from Adobe, yes..the correct version for Intel based Mac.
He ran first aid repair a few times.
There was a lot of things that got fixed.
I am in need of more help.
anyone figure this out?

Flash Player 12 works just fine with Snow Leopard. I have it on my server machine. No problems at all in Safari, Opera, Firefox.

Adobe Flash Player stop working...

For some reason Adode Flash Player recently stop working. I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash player 4 times however to no avail. I have the latest version (14.0.0.176) on my PC (Windows 64bit). I've noticed that others have also had a problems with getting Flash Player to work. Did Adobe make a major change that I'm not aware of. Any assistance with resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I cannot see HTML5 video, but non-HTML5 still works for me. Is this true for you, also?
