My windows surface tablet wont allow me to install flash player. how can i install it?

my windows surface tablet wont allow me to install flash player.

You don't need to install it; Flash Player is already preinstalled on all Windows 8 editions.
For troubleshooting see http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html
Use Windows Update to update to the latest Flash Player version.

  • I have Windows XP,Firefox does not recognize my Adobe flash player.How doI fix this.

    I have the latest version of Adobe flash player,It works with IE,it will not work with Firefox.It will not download flash player,because it is already installed,How do I get to work with Firefox?Thank you for your time.

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
    *an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
    *a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
    *On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
    '''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
    Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    *only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
    *page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
    '''<u>Install or update Adobe Flash</u>'''<br />
    #'''<u>Using Firefox</u>''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
    #*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    #When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
    #Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
    #*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
    #*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
    #*The installation is quick.

  • I want to add Adobe Flash Player, How can I get Firefox to allow it?

    I just made Mozilla Firefox my browser ...now I want to view a video...but it says I need to download Adobe Flashplayer...but since I have Firefox it says I need to somehow enable the add on. How do I do that? Where on the Firefox toolbar can I do that?

    #'''Update or Install Shockwave Flash'''
    #*Use Firefox to Download and SAVE to your hard drive from the link in article below; the link takes you directly to the download and you avoid the "getplus" download manager and "extras" (i.e., toolbars, virus scan links, etc.) on the main Adobe page.
    #*SAVE to your Desktop so you can find it
    #*After download completes, close Firefox
    #*Click on the file you just downloaded and install
    #**Note: Vista and Win7 users may need to right-click the installer downloaded and choose "Run as Administrator"
    #**Note: Most browsers other than IE will also get updated with this one download
    #**Note: To update IE, same procedure '''<u>but use IE</u>''' to go: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

    You need to update your plugins. It is important to keep them updated due to continuing security fixes and improvements in those plug-ins:
    * Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5
    * Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape
    * Java Plug-in 1.6.0_01 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)
    ** You may want to remove the old Java version before installing the new version; see link below
    ** Firefox 3.6.x requires Java 1.6.0_10 or higher

  • Installing Flash Player on Surface tablet.

    Hello, how can I install the latest flash player on my Windows Surface tablet..?

    See "Why can't I install Flash Player on my Tablet?" (Kindle or Samsung Galaxy)

  • "Why can't I install Flash Player on my Tablet?" (Kindle or Samsung Galaxy)

    Your tablet (Kindle or Galaxy) uses the Android Operating System.
    Adobe stopped ALL development of Flash for Android last year. (July 2012) That includes Kindle as well as Samsung Tablets. Additionally, Samsung and Amazon have ended support for Flash in ALL of their newest tablet models.
    The following is from Samsung Support (07/31/2013):
    "Beginning August 15, 2012 we will use the configuration settings in the Google Play Store to limit continued access to Flash Player updates to only those devices that have Flash Player already installed. Devices that do not have Flash Player already installed are increasingly likely to be incompatible with Flash Player and will no longer be able to install it from the Google Play Store after August 15th, 2012."
    And from Kindle Support (07/31/2013):
    "The Amazon Silk web browser on Kindle Fire 1st Generation supports some, but not all, versions of Flash. Adobe Flash is pre-installed on a 1st Generation Kindle Fire and is disabled by default.
    If you see a message to install Flash while using your Kindle Fire, this means that the content you're attempting to view uses Flash. If you want to view the content, you'll need to enable Flash through the Silk settings menu.
    If a web page suffers from slow performance due to Flash, or you're unable to view a web page with Flash enabled, we recommend switching to mobile view when browsing a Flash-heavy website to see if that solves your problem:
    Some popular websites may also have an app available. Check Amazon Appstore, accessible through the Apps library on your Kindle Fire, for availability.
    The Amazon Silk web browser on Kindle Fire 2nd Generation, Kindle Fire HD 7", and Kindle Fire HD 8.9" doesn't support Flash.
    Some sites use alternative web technologies to Flash in their mobile versions. We recommend switching to mobile view when browsing a website with Flash content to see if that solves your problem:
    Some popular websites may also have an app available. Check Amazon Appstore, accessible through the Apps or Games library on your Kindle Fire, for availability."
    See: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
    There are older versions of Flash Player (for Android) at that link, but there are no guarantees any of them will work.
    See also: "How do I manually install Flash Player on my Android device?"
    You can find info about "Dolphin" for Android at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser It seems to be the browser of choice to play Flash content on an Android device.
    Also, check the Android forums to see what their "gurus" recommend.

    Hello,
    Flash Player is not supported on mobile devices, and has never been supported on Windows phone.  I am not aware of alternative option for Windows phone users.

  • How Can I install Windows on my iMac??

    Hi There! I wanted to ask that how can i install windows 7 64-bit on my imac as i wanted to use some softwares and also, play some games that are not there on osx. Please tell my how to do this. I have a 2007 24-inch iMac with the following specs-
    Intel Core2 Duo CPU@ 2.40GHz
    4GB RAM (That i Upgraded Myself)
    Radeon HD2600 Pro Graphics, 256MB
    320GB HDD
    OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion

    Your Mid 2007 iMac has got a 64-bit processor that allows you to install a 64-bit Windows 7 version, but Apple doesn't give you support for it in your iMac. Only Late 2009 and newer iMacs are supported by Apple to install a 64-bit version. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    My advice is to install a 32-bit Windows 7 version, although you will probably not be able to use all the RAM. Follow Apple's steps to install Windows > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf
    If you still want to install a 64-bit Windows 7 version, do it, but note that it won't work properly as there are no Apple drivers for it

  • Installing Flash Player on Windows 2000

    Thanks to numerous past discussions, methods have been found for installing Flash Player 11.2.202.235 on Windows 2000. See this thread, which explains how to use HxD Hex Editor to make a simple change that will allow installation on Windows 2000:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4428785
    The original post goes into fine detail with illustrations. Here's a quick redux:
    - Download the latest Adobe Flash Player (IE or non-IE) for Windows 32-bit systems.
    - Download HxD Hex Editor hereabouts (VirusTotal rates it clean):
    http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/
    - Unzip and install HxD.
    - Launch HxD and open the Adobe Flash Player Installer, something like:
    install_flash_player_32bit.exe
    - Hit F3 for HxD's search function, and search for SetDllDirectoryW
    - On the right-hand side of the HxD display, change SetDllDirectoryW to GetModuleHandleW
    - SaveAs install_flash_player_32bit_Win2k.exe or similar.
    - Quit HxD and run the modified Flash Player Installer. It should install fine on Win2k.
    This worked for me using Flash Player Installer 11.2.202.235, both IE and non-IE versions.
    This is a hack and is not officially supported by Adobe.

    I installing the Adobe Flash plugin ONLY by my own hand. Sadly, Adobe did not come up with zip archive with just the plugin dll file, but I install - copy the DLL - and uninstall. Then manually delete the remaining files and just use the DLL or the installer.
    To make the installe work at Win2k, the very same hack is need - hack the Flash Util file the same way, as the dll - change in it the SetDllDirectoryW to GetModuleHandleW and that it is!
    If someone want, there is Flash Util and Adobe Flash as DLL files, hacked with W2k:
    http://rapidshare.com/files/3122942562/Flash%20Players%20for%20W2k.zip
    http://depositfiles.org/files/max4wif3c
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/z2t9j2
    Archive contain Adobe Flash unpacked (ready to copy into Firefox) with their utility files hacked for W2k in these versions: Flash Player 9.0.124.0, Flash Player 10.0.32.18, Flash Player 10.1.85.3, Flash Player 10.1.102.64, Flash Player 10.2.159.1, Flash Player 10.3.183.29, Flash Player 11.2.202.235, Flash Player 11.3.300.273, Flash Player 11.4.402.287
    Interesting thing. Fullscreen video won't work on YouTube (only white screen, sound go ok) with Firefox v3.0.14 and Adobe Flash higher version that 10.0.32.18... Strange, strange 
    (could be that the Firefox is kinda old, but it is weird that v10.0.32.18 works flawlessly and just v10.1.85.3 not at all in fullscreen... I also use relatively old Forceware drivers v45.28 on crap GF2MX400 card :-) )

  • How do I prevent Adobe Website attempt to install Flash Player which freezes Windows e-mail browser.

    For past several days, my Windows e-mail browser frequently freezes and must be closed. This occurs whenever message near top of browser states that Adobe website wants to install Adobe Flashplayer. Windows explanation states that termination is a result of Data Execution Prevention (DEP). How do I stop Adobe Website attempts to install Flash Player, or if that is not possible, what is a solution? I have uninstalled Flash Player in an attempt to resolve problem without success.

    You can find a link and instructions for the last version of Flash Player compatible with PowerPC in this FAQ:
    What version of Flash Player should I use with my Power PC based Mac?
    For what it's worth, Apple itself discontinued support for PowerPC with their operating systems back in 2009 with the release of Snow Leopard.  Regardless, I know its frustrating when your system is no longer supported.  Hopefully the instructions I posted in the FAQ allow you to get Flash content running again.

  • Installing Flash Player on Windows 7 Professional 32-bit IE closed but still requests closing

    Windows 7 Professional is using Internet Explorer 11.0.9600 with update 11.0.15.  Installing Flash Player 16.0.0.305. Starts installing and stops at 72%, advising that Internet Explorer needs to be closed and then try again.  In Task Manager IE is not open.  Tried going to the Active X download and ended up at the same error.  We installed Windows 365, if that impacts the installation, though it has not stopped any other installations done after installing 365.  Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

    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:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

  • Since the latest update of 3.5.11, firefox opens links in a new window. it used to open links in a new tab. how can i fix that?

    since the latest update of 3.5.11, firefox opens links in a new window. it used to open links in a new tab. how can i fix that?

    The setting in "Tools > Options > Tabs" only works for links that would open in a new window.<br />
    That option allow you to divert such calls to a new tab.<br />
    For other links you either have to use a middle click or a Ctrl + left click or use the context menu.

  • When i use torbutton, it asks to install flash player plug-in but it doesn't allow to download and install it.why?

    when i use torbutton in firefox for anonymity, i can not play flash player based videos like youtube and it prompts to install flash player plug-in. i checked add-on in tool menu and found out this plug-in is not installed. i tried to D/L and install it but it doesn't allow me to do it and gives D/L error. whats the problem?
    it should be noted that i configured "security setting" tab in torbutton prefrences to accept plug -ins rences by unckecking "disable plug-ins during tor using".
