Problem installing Flash Player-says to close Internet Explorer, but it's already closed

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player, and have checked that it is installed and enabled, but still the application that requires Flash Player asks for it to be installed.  When I try to install it again, it says to close Internet Explorer and retry, which I do, but to no avail.  Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Empty?  Did you click on the Processes tab?
Try the following: download the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header and save it to disk.  Restart Windows, then before doing anything else, run the downloaded installer.

  • Problems  installing flash player. Learner

    I am experienceing problems installing flash player. I go to the adobe website and install the program and I am told it has been successfully  installed. No flash player  icon apppears on my desktop. When I press the windows start icon and click on "all programs" there is no evidence of the flash player. However when I click on" my computer" icon and go into uninstall/change the flash player program is there.I have spent quite some time installing, uninstalling and installing again without success
    I am using windows Vista. I am also using Kaspsersky Internet security. It is a private computetr so I do not think  I need administrators permission.  I have tried installing flash player using both interner explorer and Mozilla firefox.Please can anyone help. Many thanks.

    Shane, since you must be having problems getting a thread started, I'll just go ahead and try to help you here.
    Use IE and go to Help and click on About Internet Explorer. It should tell you sp1 or sp2.
    Also using IE, go to Tools, click on Manage add ons and look in all add ons for Shockwave Flash Object. Let me know if it is Enabled and if it is version 10.0.45.2 or says Flash10e.ocx.
    Then switch over to FF (Firefox) and find the plug-in SWF version 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is listed and Enabled.
    Post this info back to me.
    Thanks,

  • Trying to install adobe flash player onto mac using internet explorer 5.2 for mac.

    Trying to install adobe flash player onto mac using internet explorer 5.2 for mac.  But the page that I need keeps telling me that Adobe Flash Player still needs to be installed.  I've downloaded AFP several times, and I see it installed correctly on my mac, but the same error message keeps coming up.  All of the support that I see is either for mac or for Internet Explorer, but not for both and not for the version of Internet Explorer that I am using.  Please help.  Thank you.

    Wow, IE for Mac is pretty old.  What Mac OS are you using?  I'm 99% sure you're going to need an older version of the Player, but I'll need to know the OS version to figure out which one.

  • Flash Player 10.3 and Internet Explorer 9 update and workarounds

    Hello Flash Player community,
    We are tracking the issues being reported on Flash Player 10.3.181.14 and Internet Explorer 9 and actively investigating them.  Users are reporting that Flash content is being displayed in the upper left corner of the screen.  We want to give those who are encountering these issues an update.
    First, we apologize to everyone affected.  We know you count on Flash Player as an integral component of the web and we strive for high quality and performance in each release.  We are actively looking into the root cause of this issue.  Thanks to many of you submitting information via email and our online bug database, we now have some solid leads we are pursuing.
    Flash Player 10 and later can use your system’s graphics hardware to accelerate video decoding, and can also accelerate video presentation on some sites. Starting with Flash Player 10.2, Flash Player will also take advantage of hardware accelerated graphics in Internet Explorer 9, utilizing hardware rendering surfaces to improve graphics performance.
    With Flash Player 10.3.181.14, reports indicate that systems with Intel HD Graphics adapters running Internet Explorer 9 are the only systems impacted by this particular bug.  If you are encountering this issue and have a different configuration we'd love to hear from you.  Please review the instructions on this page for details on generating the information we'll need for further investigation.
    Solution #1
    Adobe has officially released Flash Player 10.3.181.16 for Internet Explorer to address the graphical issues introduced in 10.3.181.14.  You can get this release by visiting our official download page, directly downloading and running the installer file, or using the Flash Player auto update mechanism.
    After installing, we recommend you re-enable hardware acceleration if you had it previously disabled.  We also recommend you clear your browser cache and restart your system.
    If you continue to encounter issues, please create a new thread and we'll do our best to investigate further.
    Solution #2
    On some systems, you may be able to resolve this issue by updating the Intel HD Graphics drivers. It has been reported that driver versions 8.15.10.2361 and above do not exhibit this bug. Unfortunately, some systems might require updates directly from your system manufacturer. We’re working with system manufacturers to make sure they include the latest drivers in future releases.
    Solution #3
    You can disable hardware acceleration in Internet Explorer 9 using the instructions on this page. Please note that you should re-enable hardware acceleration once this problem has been resolved to enjoy the full benefits of hardware acceleration.
    Thank you,
    The Flash Player team
    Update 5/20/11 - We've temporarily disabled the automatic update notification for Flash Player 10.3 and Internet Explorer.  We're making progress on a fix and hope to have a new version available next week.
    Update 5/24/11 - Added link to the 10.3.181.15 test update
    Update 5/27/11 - Added instructions for post install of 10.3.181.15
    Update 5/31/11 - Updated thread with the official 10.3.181.16 announcement

    FOR THOSE RUNNING IE9 ON WINDOWS 7 AND HAVE INSTALLED THE AUTOMATIC UPDATE FOR ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10.3 - TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
    Open IE9 Browser window > Click on "Tools" > Click on "Internet Options" > Selct the "Advanced" Tab > Turn on/Click the "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering" > Click "Apply" > Click "OK" > Shut down and then restart your IE9 browser.
    THIS WILL BE A TEMPORARY FIX FOR ANY ISSUES YOU MAY HAVE WITH THE CONSTANT FLOOD OF FLASHING ADS AND THE LIKE UNTIL A PATCH IS MADE AVAILABLE FOR THIS UPDATE.
    OTHER QUICK FIXES WOULD INCLUDE:
    1) UN-INSTALLING 10.3 AND RE-DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING 10.2 FOR THE TIME BEING. **BE SURE TO AVOID RE-INSTALLING THE AUTOMATIC UPDATE OF 10.3 AGAIN**
    2) DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING "MOZILLA FIREFOX" AND USING IT AS YOUR WEB BROWSER!!

  • Flash Player 11 Installation with Internet Explorer 9

    OK, I know there are alot of discussions on this already, but I have tried all the suggestions with no luck.  I have just got my PC back after a full restore, 32 bit Windows Vista.  I have installed the new Internet Explorer 9 and wasn't surprised when it told me to install the latest version of Flash Player.  I tried to install and got the message to close Internet Explorer which I had already done.  I managed to sort that by going to Task Manager and closing an iexplore.exe process that appeared to be stuck.  When I go to adobe.com it tells me that I have the latest version (11.0.1.152) installed, but when I try to view videos on IE9 it tells me that I still do not have Flash Player! I have restarted, checked the things that have been suggested in other posts and still  not having any luck!
    Suggestions please????

  • Adobe Flash Player not working in Internet Explorer 9

    I installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (version 11.7.700.169) and Adobe Flash Player stopped working in Internet Explorer 9. ActiveX filtering is disabled and the Adobe Flash Player add-on is enabled in IE 9. When I try to load the Web page for www.youtube.com, I get a blank screen. Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox work fine - both can display the YouTube Web page. Is there a fix for this?

    hi,

The problem is, Flash Player is not even installed and ever Flash website tells me to install the flash player.

    Their Flash detection script does not recognise PocketPC. You
    could try
    using PocketIE Plus to view it. Set it to identify itself as

    The Adobe Reader and the Flash player are not connected in
    any way, so this
    is not important information.

  • Problem installing flash player

    keep getting message to close Internet Explorer.  It is closed but message keeps popping up? 

    Easiest way to do this:
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link and selecting "Save target as".
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Save it to your Downloads folder - DO NOT run it yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE opening anything else, locate and run the installer.
