Re: Vista and Flash Player Issues - no Embedded video

Hi Carl,
After re-boot, still the same problems. I DID find it interesting that in the previously mentioned link to Yahoo's website, that the video file was an HTML file. Am I missing something here? Shouldn't it have been a video format file, or was the right-click just giving me the page link and not the vid file name?

Ah - from the 'Re:' in the subject line I assume that you replied to the email notification. But for some reason it was not merged into the original topic.
I will notify the forum administrator to see if he can find out why this is not happening.
Hopefully Carl will see your replies, and remember the original conversation.

Vista and Flash Player issues - no embedded video

Ok,
I've been wrestling with this for a week now. I upgraded from XP to Vista Home Premium 32-bit. After the upgrade, I cannot view embedded videos on any website(except Microsoft's cuz they use Silverlight).
I CAN, however, see videos on YouTube *IF* I change the URL to their Secure site. (HTTPS). I found this workaround in a post. This tells me that Flash Player is working, but somewhere in the Vista install, Vista is blocking non-secure websites from loading/playing embedded videos. I have used Yahoo's news pages as my test, but have had issues with embedded videos on FaceBook, and other websites that regularly post embedded vids, like the TV network sites, etc. I have gone through as many "fixes" as I could find posts on the Web, and none have fixed my problem. I tried downloading and installing Flash Player on Chrome and Firefox, and those didn't work either, so I know that A.) the problem is not the browser, B.) that the problem is not the codecs, as vids run on Youtube's Secure website. That leaves the OS as the culprit. I have gone through the Control Panel, and tried everwhere there that I could find a remote link to Internet security, to no avail. No one at Microsoft is interested in helping me; they just tell me to buy Windows 7. Are there any Vista gurus out there that may be able to help?

Could you try running through the steps outlined in this FAQ? In particular, make sure you delete the two folders specified within the %appdata% directory.
How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?

HTC One Stock Browser - address bar and Flash player issues

Couple of issues here -- please let me know if I'm missing something obvious. First of all, since the HTC One only has the Home and Back buttons, I count on the application to know when to open a Settings screen or even an address bar. Point that browser at YoutTube or Google+ and tell me how you get back to the address bar. I've found that hitting Back may bring up the address bar, but you'd better be quick about it.
Second, the Flash player doesn't seem to work with some sites. I can play a YouTube video with the stock browser, but it won't play an NPR sound clip. Thoughts? Ideas? What obvious thing am I missing?

First, Flash Player isn't supported anymore. If you have it installed through sideloading, it isn't guaranteed to work all the time.
As for the stock browser, have you tried scrolling to the top of the website to get the address bar to show. I don't have any other ideas since I purposely disabled the stock browser and use Chrome instead. Perhaps you should consider the same.

I seriously don't understand a word of what you're writing...
You mention "C:\windows\sys32..." - that indicates that you use Windows; what version?

for web design, needing flash player and adobe apps to install and work.

Youtube and Flash player issues ???

i have currently been presented with the issue of youtube not working on certain types of machines, on our dell optiplex 755 machines, youtube will not work properly, i have narrowed the problem down to Adobe flash. everytime i tried to play a youtube video it would usually just give me a black screen with an error message, after i tried a couple solutions i thought i had fixed it, i can now play some youtube videos and not all, for example i can play 5 in a row and after that, not many videos will work.
the machines are running windows 7, have adobe 11.9, Internet Explorer 9 and the graphics drivers have been updated.
does anyone have any solutions??

jkeano18, you say you use Windows 7. do you have Windows 7 SP1 (service pack 1) installed? if not, you need to install SP1 for Windows 7.
since you use a Dell Optiplex 755 machine, what kind of CPU does it have and how much RAM is installed? you can get this info by opening the System properties page of Windows 7. you may need to install a faster CPU chip, add more RAM or do both. Specs on the Optiplex 755 PC are posted on this Dell site.
as for graphics, what kind? Intel or AMD? some Optiplex 755 computers come with Intel graphics and other Optiplex 755 machines come with AMD graphics. Run the DirectX Diagnostic tool (dxdiag.exe) and click on the Display tab to get the graphics info.
If the graphics is Intel, I recommend the latest Intel graphics drivers from Intel site rather from the Dell site. If the graphics is AMD, download the latest AMD drivers from the AMD site.

IE9 and Flash Player issues..

I have already tested my player and it is techincally working however instead of being in the correct place on the page - every site I go to with flash - the images end up in the top left corner displaying incorrectly.
Does anyone have any idea how to remedy this?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi, One of the users here and others suggest this:
I don’t know if somebody has suggested this or not but what I did to make Flash 10.3 work on my IE9 (32 bit on a 64bit Windows 7) was to click on the gear icon, then click on “internet options”, then “advanced”, then finally check “use software rendering instead of GPU rendering” finally you must close IE9 for the settings to work.
See if that helps. If not, when you reploy back, furnish your operating system and other browsers/versions you may use.
Thanks,

Firefox 12 flash player not working with video on Facebook

Using Firefox 12, newest flash player 32 bit -- embedded video won't work on Facebook. I have tried another computer with XP SP3, completely removed firefox, flash, started in safe mode with add ons disabled, even created a new profile with no addons at all, and nothing seems to fix the problem. Video plays fine in Internet Explorer. That said, YouTube works fine so I don't think its a flash 'only' problem. (I right clicked on video to make sure flash was playing the video and not html 5.)

Is the Flash player loaded if you right-click that black box where the player should be?
Does it help if you try to "Disable the hardware acceleration" in the Flash Player?

I tried playing a you tube video, but received a message prompt to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. The link to Adobe stated that there are issues with MAC OS X 10.7 and Flash Player 10.3. The new version did not download. Any Suggestion

Issue with Youtube and Flash Player, videos don't play after a while

When I go to Youtube I can watch videos, but after I've player 5 or 6, when I select the next one, I get a snowy screen with a message "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback. Get the latest Flash Player". Issues is I already have the latest Flash Player, and it was playing fine just a minute ago. But from then on I cannot play more videos until I restart the computer. I'm tired of reinstalling Flash every day.
Win 7 64 bits, IE 9 and Firefox (happens with both)
Flash Player 11.7.700.202
Apparently the browser at first recognizes that Flash is installed, but then it doesn't find it anymore. Not sure how that happens.

strangest thing... a few 'non-youtube' sites still work ok, but still complain 'no javascript' ..
so went to firefox (v17.0.4 ESR) 'tools, options, content' and yup, javascript UNTICKED!! :O :O my bad memory? something else??? {shrugs}
ticked it, now ok........ think im getting old?????? ROFL..

I like to play games on facebook and for some reason I keep getting an error message saying that the shockwave player and flash player has crashed I use firefox could someone please give me step by step instructions to fix this issue?

I have Windows 8.1, my adobe player is the most updated version also.... hope this helps

Yeah, Firefox and Flash Player isn't a super stable combination on Windows 8.1 at the moment. We're collaborating closely with Mozilla to improve that, but that effort is going to happen over several months.
In the meantime, you might want to take a look at the other options. Microsoft invested a lot of time and effort into making the Flash experience on Win8.1 really good in IE, as did Google with Chrome.

Flash Player for Windows Embedded 8 Standard

Hi,
For the flash player running on Windows Embedded 8 Standard platform,
I just found the workaround from following link:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/evaluate/Windows-Embedded-8-Standard-Releas e-Preview-Release-Notes.htm
But I just wondering
is there any special flash player availabel for Windows Embedded 8
without applying the above workaround ??
Thank you

I'm not familiar with this Windows release. The only install information I've seen can be found in these two KB articles:
Help for Flash Player issues on Windows 8 32 bit and 64 bit systems
Help for Flash Player issues on Windows RT ARM systems

Installing Flash Player Issues

I have a Windows 8 Operating Sysytem and I use IE version 8. I have downloaded the latest flash player numerous times and it continues not to work. So can someone please help me install it?????? Thanks in advance

If you have Windows 8, you CANNOT use IE 8, because Windows 8 comes with IE 10 preinstalled and it WON'T accept a lower version.
In addition, Flash Player for IE in Windows 8 is modified and embedded by Microsoft. It's "their baby" so to speak. It can ONLY be updated through Windows Update (in your Control Panel under System and Security).
Microsoft released a "Tuesday patch" November 12 to update Flash Player for IE10 and IE11 in Windows 8 and 8.1.
If you run the update and still have problems, see: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html for more steps to take.

Would flash player issues cahnge desktop icons?

I'm starting a seperate discussion on this issue as it is truly different than my other postings
I use Vista Home premium
I have many icons on my desk top, mostly shortcuts to program. Yesterday I had to reboot several times when trying to update to ne flash player.
Then upon one reboot, I noticed that some, just like 3, Icons changed.
Example
icon for the shortcut to itunes looked like the icon picture for the game dinerdash
icon for shortcut to the game Bakerydash looked like the icon for spider solitaire
now when I would right click on these shortcuts, they would show the proper data for the shortcut they truely were Whe I would right click on the icon and then select change icon, the only option there was the actual correct icon. I'd hit apply, but it did not good.
I ran virus/spyware scans and all were clean.
Could it be because of flash player issues? or because I had rebooted several times in a row and did not allow the system to fully reboot before trying the next reboot??
Like I would reboot and then 7 minutes later reboot again. Could that cause the icons to screw up a little?

I don't know what changed the desktop icons, but it is one of these things that just happen sometimes.
Windows XP had a great tool, TweakUI (from Windows Power Toys), that has a 'Repair Icons' function. Microsoft never released a TweakUI version for Vista, but I know that a 3rd-party version of TweakUI for Vista can be found on the Internet (Google will find it for you).
I would try to use this to repair your desktop icons.
P.S. since this TweakUI is not a Microsoft tool, I recommend to make a System Restore point before running it; just in case...

Hello my MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.

Hello,
My MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.
What is the problem?
It will be necessary to take him on a technical assistance?
thank you

Have you tried an alternate browser to see if the same issue happens? Try Firefox or Chrome. Chrome has Flash embedded in it, so if it doesn't work, it's probably not a Flash issue. FIrefox is at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and Chrome is at https://www.google.com/chrome .
Another thing to try is to sign up for HTML5 video from Youtube. See http://www.youtube.com/html5
