Problem installing flash player with I.E

Whilst surfing around the internet this morning I vaguely remember getting a message about needing an adobe flash player update shortly followed by my browser crashing. I didn't think much more of it but from this afternoon onwards I discovered that almost every website i visited would throw up a "This website wants to run the Following add-on: 'Adobe Flash Player' from 'Adobe System Incorporation'. If you trust the website and the following add-on and want to allow it to run, Click Here..." message at the top of the page.
I tried resetting Internet Explorer 8's security settings to default (i think they were default anyway) but this made no difference. I went to the adobe website to attempt to install the latest flash player but every time i went to the installation page it would refresh itself after about 5 seconds with a "This tab has been recovered. A problem with this web page caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen the tab" message at the top of the page. The page would then refresh again, this time ending up with a "We were unable to return you to adobe.com. Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website." error page.
In an effort to resolve these problems I uninstalled adobe flash player using the adobe uninstaller (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), rebooted my computer and attempted to install the flash player again. Once again I couldn't install it with my attempts again ending up at the "We were unable to return you to adobe.com. Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website." error page.
I just tried downloading the Firefox browser and have had no problem installing and using the adobe flash player so I am guessing the problem is some sort of issue between adobe and internet explorer- any solutions?
Thanks :-)

Hi, You didn't say what version of IE you are using, but most likely IE7 or IE8. It's some option in the browser I'm sure.
Since you ran the Uninstaller, and it Uninstalls all Flash Player from All browsers, try this Adobe Installer that you will download and SAVE to your Desktop. Then close all browsers, keep your Security setting on Medium for the Internet Zone, be sure to use the Administrator account(only one that has permission). Check your system tray (area by the clock) and disable any application that uses Flash, as Messenger services.
Run the Installer from your Desktop and when it is finished, be sure to Reboot(restart) your computer.

Then test here:

Check your websites to see if they are working properly.

Problems installing Flash player with IE

I am having problems with installing the macromedia Flash
player on Internet Explorer 6 on Windows 2000 pro. However the
thing is that with Firefox the flash player works fine. I tried
uninstalling and reinstalling the flash player with no success. The
install program will tell me flash player is installed, however on
every website with flash I get the square with the red cross in the
upper corner.
When browsing this forum I came across this thread:
Forum
thread .
In this thread it was advised to use the uninstaller which
can be found here:
Uninstaller. However
when I use this installer two files are left in the folder
c:\WINNT\System32\Macromed\Flash. The two files are GetFlash and
Flash9.ocx. When I try to remove the Flash folder manually I get
the following error message: Can not delete the file Flash9.ocx The
file is in use by another program. When I reboot and go the folder
again I still get this message. Could this be a problem so that the
Flash player will not install properly?
I hope that someone could help me fix this problem. In the
mean time I will use Mozilla Firefox as this browser does work how
it's supposed to.

Hi,
Which windows version you are currently using ?
If you are using Windows 8 or 8.1, then Flash Player for Internet explorer is updated by the windows update by Microsoft so you need to update your Windows to get the latest version of Flash player.
Current version is 17.0.0.169

Problem installing Flash Player with IE7

I have attempted to download and install Adobe Flash Player 10 on my machine running IE7. It goes through all the steps without any error messages. I get to the browser window where it shows a movie to prove that the installaion was successful and there is nothging there. I go to add/remove programs on Control Panel and there is no Flash Player on the program list. I have followed all the tech support steps relative to Active X, Pop-up blockers and Internet Security to no avail. No error message and it says that the installation went fine, but no Flash Player. Is there a way to download an executable and run it outside of IE7?
Thanks
Rob

It should have been located at the bottom right. It is grayed out until you hi light Shockwave Flash.
If that didn't work, then do this. Go to Tools, click on Internet Options, look for Settings, click on it, look for View Objects. This opens
the window "Downloaded Program Files" This shows your Active X add ons. Find Shockwave Flash, right click on it and this opens a small window that shows "Update, Remove or Properties" Click on Update, when completed, close and Reboot.

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.

Problem instaling flash player plz help

Try downloading the offline installer(s):

for all other browsers http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe (save to disk);

Problem with MSIE after installing Flash Player with sysprep

Hello,
do you have any news regarding this problem?
I installed flash ver 11.6 and I have the same problem on more than 50 machines.
please let me know

I've branched this to a new discussion. The issue in the previous thread has already been resolved. Also, we would highly recommend that you deploy the latest version of Flash Player (11.7.700.169 as of today), as previous versions have known vulnerabilities.
First, make sure that you're not running into the ActiveX filtering problem:
Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448?tstart=0
ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer 9 - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968?tstart=0
After that, make sure that your users actually have permission to run the Flash Player binaries.
If that looks good, try installing Flash Player the same way, but on a machine that has stock Group Security Policies (your PDC may be pushing down rules that cause Flash Player not to work).
If you're still stuck after that, we'll help you troubleshoot it further.
Thanks.

I can't install flash player with a non-administrative user

Hi,
in my job, we've just rebuild a server, with a clean Windows
2003 installation, all users are working with Terminal Server. The
problem is that we are unable to install Flash player in IE7 on a
user who have no administrative permissions but it works fine
firefox. It gives the following error (translate from spanish to
english ): "Error to copy Erma.inf. It's impossinle to copy this
file to the destination folder".
So far, we give permissions to all users in
C:\windows\system32\Macromed
Any idea?
Thanks for all

I recently had a virus on my PC. Passing the Avast antivirus has had to delete some registry and since FP is not working in IE9. If it workd with Chrome.
The OS is W7 64 bits. I uninstalled IE9 several times and I have reinstalled. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled over 30 times FP and still not working, but no errors are detected in the discherge and installation.
The problem is that in the IE 9 configuration tool "Currently loaded add-ons" in "Shockwane Flash Object" appear Light Grey both options "enabled" and "disabled"
Thanks you very much for your help

Thanks Mike,
I followed your instructions and I created a new administrator account in Windows7.
From this new administrator account properly installed Flash Player and it works.
As for the old administrator account does not work, I have to check that may be happening in Windows 7.
Thank you very much for helping me to find the problem.
Best regards,

Problem installing Flash Player ActiveX

Their Flash detection script does not recognise PocketPC. You

using PocketIE Plus to view it. Set it to identify itself as

Won't work if you have

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