No global settings panel in IE9 RC1

Hi.  My flash player is 10.2.152.26.
After installing IE9 RC1 on my Windows 7 home premium x64 system and using x32 bit IE9 I can't see the global settings panel on the Adobe page any more. I can still get the other settings panel in any video.
I reinstalled Flash Player and this is the only problem. Video etc all work. (Solved that problem a month ago!)
When I rolled back to IE8  the global panel came back.  Reinstalled IE9 RC1 and the global panel is gone again.
This is what Microsoft said: "You should be able to access the Global Settings using Internet Explorer 9 Release Candidate and Adobe Flash Player ... If you aren’t able to view the Global Settings check to make sure ActiveX Filtering is fully turned off... If that doesn’t help, try reaching out to the Adobe community to see if they can provide further assistance. Steven, Microsoft Answers Support Engineer "
Well, I disabled ActiveX filtering and still the same.  Here's the evidence:
The second image suggests  the global panel is still in there somewhere. ???  Any advice much appreciated.

Good workaround.
Apparently it wants to save some temporary files and no longer can with that option set in IE9.  I have tried a workaround where I temporarily turned off that option, brought up each of the "global" setting options, and then turned the IE option back on.  I also have General options set to delete temporary on close but with do not Favorite Site Data.
I also tacked data to my problem opened in BUGS.ADOBE.COM.  Hope they check them out as they Incorrectly closed the problem resolved.
As someone else has noted the interface for Flash 10.3 beta is different and does not have this problem.

  • Has anybody had problems with the global settings panel not working?

    I am on PC, Vista 64bit.  updated to the new flash player and now flash player will not allow me to chage anything in the global settings panel.  I need to allow third party content for editing wix sites and I cannot change any of the settings.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times and nothing has helped.
    My adobe reader also crashed and now will not load after uninstall.  Very frustrating!  Everythign worked fine before the update.
    Any ideas?

    To allow Flash Player settings, close all browser windows, then open Windows Explorer and type %APPDATA%\Adobe in the address bar. Delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there.  Do the same in %APPDATA%\Macromedia
    Regarding Adobe Reader, please post in that forum.

  • No Global Settings Panel

    I do not have any kind of settings panel come up when I try to change my Global settings on the Adobe web site. I am running the latest player version. Also, when I go to Flash Player settings on my computer's Control Panel, I have the latest Active-X version, but no plug-in version on the Advanced tab. I am running Windows 7 & IE9. I have uninstsalled and reinstalled Adobe Flash several times.
    Thanks for your help!!

    You are on this Global Settings page, right? http://http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manage r03.html

  • Problem with Global settings panels

    Using Flash player v10,1,53,64. with IE7 and Safari 5. I am trying to turn off the auto update notification as I work in an infant school and the pop-up notifications confuse the children.
    Flash objects are working fine and the http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ page tells me that I have the version of Flash installed with no problem.
    I then right click on an active Flash object on a web page and choose "Global settings..."
    Then choose Global Notification Settings Panel... , which takes me to  http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.htm l
    At this point, instead of the panel I get the "This content requires Flash" replacement item - so I can't go any further. The same sthing happens with any of the Settings panels.
    So one page on the Adobe site says I have the player installed, others don't.
    Help much appreciated.

    Does that happen on all browsers?
    Anyway, another way of disabling update notifications is by using a mms.cfg file; see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/167/16701594.html for details.
    It has happened with all the browsers I have checked, some may be a bit out of date as we don't use them regularly but I have the problem with
    Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13
    Safari 5.0
    Firefox 3.0.19
    Chrome 5.0.375.86
    I'll have a look at the mms.cfg option this afternoon.
    I'm beginning to wonder whether this is caused by a firewall problem. I don't control the firewall settings. I've been assured by our network team that there is no block, but I'm wondering if that is right. I suppose they could have a block on flash content from not specifically authorised sites (which might well include Adobe) that would still let the Adobe site interrogate to find out the Flash version - but as I'm not 100% certain how the protocols work I can't be sure, I'll have to recheck that one.
    Thanks for the help so far.

  • Cannot check Allow Third-Party Content from Global Storage Settings panel.

    I cannot check the box that says Allow   Third-Party Content To Store Data On Your Computer in the Global Storage Settings panel. I have seen many other people with this issues but they have either been unresolved or the resolutions to the problems do not work for me.
    I am running
    Windows XP SP2 32bit
    Firefox 3.6.6 32 bit
    Can somebody please help me resolve this issue?

    When you open Windows Explorer, type %appdata% into the address bar, and it will take you to the location.
    On Windows XP this is usually C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data
    From there go down to the 'Adobe' and 'Macromedia' folders and delete the 'Flash Player' folder in each.

  • Global Notifications Settings panel - Automatically

    I am about to do a big roll out of multiple Remote Desktop Services servers and a large number of clients. We are running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows 7 SP1.
    The issue is, that i cannot AUTOMATICALLY/UNATTENDED deaktivate the update functionality in the Global Notifications Settings panel.
    The result is that the user, which are not administrators, get a update notification once in a while. I want to deactivate this update funtion.
    As far as i have been able to dig out on the web i have to set to properties.
    ISCHECKFORPRODUCTUPDATES = 0 - this prevents the install of Adobe Flash Player from checking for update.
    AgreeToLicense = YES - this prevents the install of Adobe Flash Player from displaying the EULA
    - I have tried creating a mst
    - Install using properties
    - installed using newest avalable version
    - Tried to find the registrysetting i suspect it to use. (no luck)
    - and a lot more....
    I am still having this annoying "notify me when a update is available".
    I am totally stuck here - maybe someone has got it to work!
    Lookring forward for som assistance :-)
    -Thomas
    PS:
    Yes i know i can enter it manually, but i do not want to do that. It needs to be done unattended/automatically for all users/computers.

    I can get mms.cfg to work on my XP machines but not Windows 7.  I put mms.cfg
    AutoUpdateDisable=1
    AutoUpdateInterval=
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
    here
    Windows 64 bit -- C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    Any ideas?

  • Global Storage Settings Panel Options Greyed Out

    • Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64bit (brand new installation, all updates installed)
    • Mozilla Firefox 4.1
    • Adobe Shockwave Flash 10.2.159.1
    Some websites with Flash content (such as YouTube) work perfectly fine - however on others (such as Nostalgia Critic), the Flash content will load (I can access the right-click menu) but will not play/show.
    I have narrowed the cause down to the Flash Player not remembering any changes I make to the Global Settings Manager. The Allow third-party Flash content to store date on your computer check-box is greyed out and I cannot select it.
    Reading through all related forum threads I could find (both here and across the 'net), it has been repeatedly stated that the best solution is to delete the %APPDATA%\Adobe and %APPDATA%\Macromedia folders, however neither currently exists in my %APPDATA% folder.
    I am completely stumped! It shouldn't be all that difficult to get this working, should it?

    You're correct Willener, it was past midnight when I wrote my original post so I wasn't too specific in regards to the Adobe and Macromedia folders.
    One of the first things I checked was to make sure that the SYSTEM account had full permissions to the %APPDATA% folder and I should state that this problem persisted across multiple Windows 7 Ultimate installation attempts (5 in total, across seperate three system drives).
    I've tried everything I can think of, the latest of which was (temporarily) installing my work's copy of Adobe Creative Suite 5 in the vain hope that the Flash component of that would 'fix' my lack of Adobe\Flash and Macromedia\Flash folders.
    Other applications have not had any issue creating folders in %APPDATA%, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and imgBurn - so I was completely lost.
    In utter desperation, I copied my partner's Adobe\Flash and Macromedia\Flash folders from her PC (which was installed with the same Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 disc (and a seperate TechNet key)) a month ago and voilà - problem solved!
    I have no idea why that worked, but it did (as a future reference for anyone who's encountered the same issue as I have).

  • Can't change Flash Player global settings

    Hello,
    I've had this problem about a year now and have been searching all over the internet for the solution. Ive seen it come up many times but it never fixes my problem, so I decided to just start a thread.
    I have:
    -Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    -Firefox 6.0 64-bit
    -Flash Player version 10,3,183,5
    Anyways, im sure youve heard of this before where you cannot change the global settings to allow webcam, mic, data storage or click allow and so on - and I have tried many things to no avail. I assume it is some problem with Windows 7 restricting its access and i figured maybe an update could help but it has still been the same for a year. I have two computers both with the same exact problem and I have tried everything suggested for this problem: delete "flash player" folders out of appdata, reinstalling, etc. but nothing has worked. Its been like this for a year and I cant deal with it anymore, any flash video or game that requires flash to store local data typically shows up as a black box or doesn't let me save my game. Please help me, this is extremely irritating.

    I didn't even know that there was a 64-bit version of Firefox 6 - where did you find it?
    Anyway, Flash Player 10.x does not run on 64-bit browsers.  So, in that light, how do you attempt to change the Global Settings, from the Control Panel applet, or via http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/se ttings_manager.htm ?
    Sorry - I dont really know what firefox came in besides the version and since my computer is 64-bit I asssumed the program was too.
    Also sorry for the late reply, Ive been doing school things lately.
    Anyways,
    Another question: if you delete the Flash Player folders from %appdata%, are they recreated after using Flash Player?
    Now that I look at it, I believe so. I just checked my appdata and saw the flash player folders are there, but they are always empty. If there was a recent update it may of been that, but they are there again. Could that have something to do with it?

  • Can't see the Global Settings Manager !

    Hi,
    I can't see the Global Settings Manager here: Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel
    I have a message 'this content requires Flash'.
    My OS: Vista Business 32 bits
    Flash player installed : 14.0.0.145
    Browser: Firefox 31 (latest version)
    Let me know how can I fix this issue, please.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Pat,
    Sorry for the delay time.
    I found the culprit, a firefox add-ons that consider the Global Settings Manager as an adv.
    May I ask you here another issue that I have with Flash while viewing movies ?

  • Website Storage Settings Panel

    I have been changing the settings for the website storage and global storage settings panel. Now some things like flash games and some video don't work. I have tried to change the settings back but can't get them to take. I tried to uninstall and reinstall flash 10 but still I can't get it to change back. Is there a way to get this back to default setting?

  • Where's the control for global settings now?

    Where is the button to open Adobe Flash Player's Global settings in Windows 8.1?  Under Windows XP Pro, it was in Control Panel.  I'm not finding anything comparable.  Did Adobe quit offering the ability to handle settings directly on the user's computer and return to its old procedure forcing the user to visit their web site?
    Alternatively, where do I find the executable so as to make a shortcut on the desktop?

    It's still in the control panel, only with Win 8 and 8.1 it's under System And Security.

  • Cannot click on settings and global settings in dialogue box

    Google chrome updated to new flash player 10.3.184.14 now when I right click flash screen and get the dialogue box and click on settings or global settings nothing happens.. but if I refresh game or page sometimes or intermittently I do get the local settings box, but only once.. when it goes away I have to refresh page. and sometime it works sometimes not.. the same happens with the global settings....  I looked for Flash player in my control panel, but was not there.. I switched over to IE-8 and downloaded version 10.3.xxx.xx now have it in my control panel..  If I play games or view flash content in IE. I can right click screen and can always click settings or global settings and it works each time, no matter how many times I do it,, but in Google Chrome it does not... Am I doing something wrong, do I need to import from other browsers in GC why cant I access settings and global settings after right clicking flash screen in Google Chrome?????

    Hi, I think your thread got pushed to the 2nd page.
    In addition to Security updates in this 10.3.181.14, there is included a Flash Settings Panel Manager.
    Users now have a simpler way to clear local storage from the browser settings interface – similar to how users clear their browser cookies today. Flash Player 10.3 integrates control of local storage with the browser’s privacy settings in Mozilla Firefox 4, Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 and higher, Google Chrome 11 (Available in Chrome Dev Channel), and a future release of Apple Safari.
    When you open the Flash Player icon from the Control Panel, be sure to check each Tab (Storage, etc)
    Also under the tab Storage you will find the info on Private Browsing, so be sure to read this info in case you use that.
    My understanding of this new feature with Flash Player vs 10.3.181.14 can be used with the above listed browser versions.
    Those not listed can use the Settings here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html

  • Why can't I see the Global Settings Manager - only the Local Settings Manager

    I've had an issue with Facebook content for months following an upgrade several versions ago - can't see my own uploaded videos or certain other content although some you tube embedded stuff is starting to work since the last upgrade.
    I've tried deleting various bits such as
    %appdata%\Adobe
    %appdata%\Macromedia
    But no joy.
    I wanted to see if anything on the global settings manager might have something to do with it but I get a blank where the various manager function screens should appear.
    Any suggestions on how I can see MPG/MPEG/VID content, why my own uploaded stuff doesn't play and why I can't see the global settings manager bits and pieces.
    Thanks,

    Hi Chris - yep - for the first time, using chrome, I could see the settings manager.
    Now is there anything there that might prevent my seeing my own uploaded videos on Fb - I can see some but not all youtube stuff but other embeds aren't working... original file format compatibility perhaps?
