Problem with Flash Player in Windows 8

My Windows 8 OS no longer 'sees' Adobe Flash Player.
I have followed all the troubleshooting steps described online however my specific problem is not addressed. Here are the facts:
Shockwave Flash Object is listed in the Manage Add-ons window BUT it is listed under the "Not Available" section.
The Publisher is listed as "Not Available"
The Status is "Enabled."
Active X Filtering is NOT activated in the Safety drop-down box
I can see the Shockwave files in C:/Windows/System 32/Macromed/Flash
I downloaded the uninstall program from Adobe, followed directions. It reported that the uninstall was successful.
I restarted the computer
However, the program files are still there. All the same problems are persist.
From the Adobe helpx site:
When I test the Flash Player it responds:
Products Affected: Flash Player 11
"Either Flash Player is disabled or Active X Filter is ON." (From the above, you know that neither of those statements is true.)
Apparently the problem is that Windows 8 is not recognizing the Publisher and lists the object as unavailable. How to I get it back to being available or uninstall it so that I can reinstall.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
KPS

There is a Windows Update KB patch and two registry keys that will prevent uninstallation of the ActiveX plug-in in Win 8 or 8.1. using the Flash Player Uninstaller from here.
Additionally, those files will prevent you from manually reinstalling it even if you manually delete the plug-in files and reg keys. I've been successful at removing the ActiveX plug-in once, but was unable to manually reinstall it.
I'd recommend repairing Internet Explorer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318378

Problems with flash player 9 & windows 98

I'm using an older system running windows 98 and I've
attempted to install Flash Player 9 which is supposedly compatible
with windows 98 operating system but when I open some web pages
instead of runniong the flash content the web page attempts to
install flash player 10. is there any way to get the system to
recognize the installation of flazsh player 9 and stop it from
trying to install flash player 10?

well I managed to generate some good news. I attempted
installing the version 9 again and it didn't work so I went
throught the install list and located the subdirectory it was
attempting to ubsuccessfully install into and deleted the entire
subdirectory and reinstalled again. this time it correctly
installed version 9 and when I rebooted and ran the version checker
it finally responded with the correct version 9 within the correct
oS win 98. I think what had happened is I accidently clicked the
uopgrade icon and it overwrote version 9 with version 10 and
wouldn't allow me to rewrite the version 9 back into its original
location. anyways it is now working and I'll know better that to
authorize a version upgrade on the 98 system.

Prompt what to do?

It sounds like it spans multiple browsers, so it's probably self-inflicted and not the result of a recent Firefox update or something.
Have you installed any ad-blocking or anti-tracking software on your computer? AdBlock Pro is a popular candidate.

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.

White/Black Screen Problems With Flash Player

I have had a problem with flash player since updating it in November. Certain websites such as YouTube and Worldstarhiphop work perfectly while other websites such as Facebook produce black or white screens when trying to play videos. If you attempt to play a video on a website in which you get the black or white screen, you can still hear the audio. While that is annoying it is only a minor inconvenience, the biggest problem is with other websites that require flash. I currently want to run an internet speed test on my computer but I can not find a website that my flash player will work with. The weird thing is that the animation at (http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html) plays correctly.
To fix the problem, I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall flash player. I have also tried changing the settings, enabling/disabling hardware acceleration. I feel like I've tried just about everything and I'm running out of ideas. I currently am using flash version 12.0.0.44 through Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.16518. My computer is running on Windows 7. Does anyone have any idea's on how to fix this problem?

I am having the same problems and have tried all the posted solutions with no positive result, so far.
Similar to above… on all of the web pages on which I am unable to see the flash videos, if I click in the flash window to start the video, all I get is audio playback with a black or white screen.
However… If I move the mouse around inside the flash window, I can see that the mouse pointer still reacts wherever the video control buttons are located at the bottom (although I can’t see the buttons, themselves). And if I click the “full screen” button …. usually in the lower right… my view goes to full screen and the video appears!
I don’t know about everyone else, but my problem appears to be limited to:
Specific websites (facebook, most news websites)… I have no problem with Youtube or the Adobe Test Page.
Viewing video in the embedded flash window on the web page... Opening the video to full screen allows me to see it.
I’ve tried this on several of my problem websites with consistent “success” at viewing videos. It's an annoying solution, but at least I can see the videos.

I have problem with Flash Player. Full screen doesn't work correctly. Turning off hardware acelleration helps but I want this option to work.

Problem exist only on YouTube. When i want get full screen, I have black screen with audio. If I click few times full screen button it helps, but I want to go to full screen by one click.
If i turn off hardware acceleration everything is ok but vids looks terrible.
I have this problem with Flash Player 10. No 9 works good, but some websites wants no. 10

Generaly FP works, but problem is that i must press few times full screen button. Now i have turn off hardware accelleration, but movies are quite bad.
I have already installed newest graphic drivers but it didn't help.
Everything was good unless Flash Player and Mozilla notificated that update is necessary :<

Problems with flash Player

So I'm having a problem with flash player, and was wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing, or might be able to help.
- Upgraded 2 computers to snow leopard, macbook pro laptop, and mac Pro tower (intel proc).
- Laptop has no problems, everything renders fine, and without any difficulty.
- Mac Pro doesn't display any dynamic data, text fields show up blank, some flash player controls don't work, brightcove player won't load completely... things are just not working right.
- Main browser is Safari, but same problem exists in Camino, Firefox, etc...
- I've had Safari Stand installed, but have since removed it.
- I've removed GROWL notifications completely
- I've got debug and developer menus turned on (but have that with the laptop also.)
Please see the screenshot attached. This graph should have text data on it showing the x/y axis, the key, as well as data when you mouse over each block, but doesn't show anything.
The second screen shot shows a brightcove player from our website... There should have full controls at the bottom, and nothing shows up. If I right-click, and go to 'view full screen', I can't then get out of full screen by clicking escape key on the keyboard, I have to use any player controls, or right-click again, and hit 'exit full screen'.
Anyone have any suggestions? It's something to do with my computer, rather than snow leopard, because flash works fine on my laptop, but not on the desktop. Any help is really appreciated !

Hi!
I reached your post because I was having the exact same issues as you and I found a fix that worked for me! The problem is a font issue: I logged in with the guest account that had no users font installed and flash was working fine, so I logged back into my account and moved all the fonts in my 'User>Library>Fonts' folder in a folder in the desktop. Then I closed and reopened Safari and Flash was working!
In the end the problem was with a version of Arial that I had in my users' font folder: I deleted just that, put my users' font back in the folder and the problem disappeared.
I hope it hepls!

Big problem with Flash Player - please read.

So i just got a new computer, and everything's fine. I get Avast, Spyware Terminator, and start going back to my usual.
I then go play a game, and it says I need a plugin, of course, Flash Player.
I click the button and go to install it: In the end, Spyware terminator blocks the downloading process with a warning message: A trojan was discovered in the download process. So everyone, if you have any problems with flash player, lowering your defenses and so on has a high chance of increasing the problem. Avoid downloading it (for now) and try to find an earlier version.
Thank you for reading this,

Only download installers from the original developers website, in this case adobe.com or macromedia.com

Running into Problems with Flash Player with some sites and not others

Hi All,
I've run into problems with Flash Player 10,0,45,2. In IE 8, FF 3.6.3 and Google Chrome (which I downloaded as a last ditch measure), some websites (such as youtube) work fine. Other sites such as wimp.com I get an empty box. I've reinstalled flash, but haven't seen much else in these forums to try to figure out what the problem is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bump.

Hello,
The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Webcast problems with Flash Player 11.7.700.169 and IE9

I recently started to have problems viewing slides during webcasts from TalkPoint/Lightwave. I have Windows 7 64-bit and IE9 (both 32-bit and 64-bit). When the webcas starts, the audio is fine, but the slides are not shown. If I remove Flash Player, I can see the slides. With Flash Player installed, I can view the webcast fine in Chrome and Firefox, but not IE9. Looks like another incompatiblity between Flash Player and IE9. Does anyone have a solution/workaround or should I try to download an earlier version of Flash Player. Perhpas IE10 is a fix.

I'm having the same issue; non-HTML5 videos won't play. Specifically they start for a couple seconds and then freeze. I'm running Windows XP and Firefox.. I tried de-selecting hardware acceleration, increased the local storage, and I don't know what else to do. XP, Firefox, and Flash are all the latest versions.
This has only been for the last 2-3 weeks, and the only things that have changed are updated Flash, updated Firefox, and supervisor installed Norton while I was on vacation.
Please, any suggestions?
ETA: And just like that, it's working! I think that I probably should have restarted the computer after changing my settings yesterday. Or not; still confused but relieved.

MacOS Lion 10.7.1 Still issues with Flash Player Settings windows

Hi Everyone, and Adobe,
I have tried almost anything now, but it still doesn't work... I have a few workarounds but non really working
I'm only having this issues with my iMac not my MacBook Pro... how is that?
Using, MacOS Lion 10.7.2 with Flash Player version 11.0.1.152.
I'm still not able to invoke / click on the Flash Player Settings windows in the Browser (Safari) -- I can as described, workaround the Allow and Denied issue by using the System Preferences Flash settings… but I can not change cam setting, from Web CAM to my external Cam. !!
Is this ONLY me having these issues or ?? or wasn't the issue suppose to have been fixed in the latest version af Flash? or … is this issues only related to the Video Card within my iMac (ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB) ?
Some that someone, hopefully Adobe can help me here
hope for some greate feedback ...

This is a known issue with particular iMac machines having ATI Radeon HD cards. Currently, we found iMac 7/8 with ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro are the most common victim of this issue. We are working with both Apple and ATI to fix this problem. For now, we summarized some work arounds in below forum thread, hope it will be helpful to you!

Help, we're having problems with Flash Player

Hi.
Up until yesterday we had flash player and it was working normally. Yesterday when we went onto IE8 we didn't have it any longer. Me and my mun tried downloading flash player for Windows XP on Internet Explorer again. We untick the box saying to add a google toolbar which is optional. We click the download button at the bottom of the page and on the download page a blue box is meant to come up involving ActiveX. The page comes up with the blue box but then the page goes off and a new page coming up with a cross in a red circle and next to it, it says "Internet Explorer has closed this webpage to help protect your computer" "A malfunctioning or malicious add-on has caused Internet Explorer to close this webpage. Below this it comes up with a list of options:
Go to your home page
Try to return to Adobe.com
More Information
We have tried clicking "Try to return to Adobe.com" many times and repeating the same process but the same thing still happens.
We don't know what to do as without Flash Player there is a limited number of things we can do. We have tried altering some of our settings but still no luck. We are going round and round in circles.

Hello, Sorry you are having problems. I would like you to go to this Adobe test site with IE8. Can you see the animation and what version of Flash Player does it say you have?
If you use any other browser, test with it too.
Are you the Administrator and are you using that Account? It is necessary when Installing Flash Player.
After that you can download the Uninstall and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Then download and SAVE the Installer for Internet Explorer to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
For now just put these on your Desktop and then to the test above and let me know.
Also What Anti-Virus do you have?
Thanks,

Massive problems with Flash player

I think it started about last week, after an update: every time I watch a video (whether it be on YouTube or elsewhere) that is longer than 5 minutes (and often shorter), the video starts stuttering after a few minutes. First the framerate slows down to about 1 frame every 3-4 seconds before grinding to a complete halt, almost freezing all of my computer in the process until I close the tab, although sometimes a full reboot is needed. The audio largely remains unaffected.
When I upgraded the Flash player, the problems persisted. Turning off hardware acceleration seems to have helped but I am not sure--I have had some audio problems since disabling this. It's odd and really very frustrating as I have a very decent video card. What is going on here? How can this be fixed? What do I miss out on by disabling hardware acceleration?
I am currently using Firefox 5 with Flash player 10,3,181,34 on Windows Vista 32bit.

Hi, if you have Flash Player installed correctly and it's working but having issues with video playback, take a look at what some of the reasons can be.
