Reinstall Adobe Flash every 2 days?

Hi,
I am having a problem with my computer. I brought this up before but the problem is back.
The problem is that when I go online to say watch something on youtube it will play the clip for 2 seconds and pause. The file itself will continue to download it just wont play past the 2 second mark. So I go and download adobe flash player. I install and BAM it works...
But that is not the end of the story. Now it seems that I have to keep reinstalling the Adobe Flash player every day or 2. What is going on?

You can check for issues caused by plugins and set all plugins to "Ask to Activate" on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" page (plugins are not affected by Firefox Safe Mode)
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*check for updates for your graphics drive drivers<br>https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

  • Why do I need to reinstall Adobe FlAsh EVERY TIME I restart my computer?

    Windows 7 64bit dell XPS 420

    A reasonable question, and one that it seems has been asked of Adobe. Check out the Adobe support forum, specifically:

  • Every time i turn off my computer and back on i have to unistall and reinstall adobe flash player

    Everytime i turn off my computer and back on i have to unistall and reinstall adobe flash player11.8 . I have tryed everything i could find on the internet, nothing helps. please help.  I wish i could contact adobe directly but don't know how. Been trying to fix it for a week.

    Download and save the uninstaller Save it to your downloads folder -  DO NOT run it yet.
    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking one (or both) of the following links and selecting "Save Target as"(IE) or "Save Link as"(other browsers).
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Save the installer(s) to your downloads folder - DO NOT run it(them) yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE you run anything else, locate and run the uninstaller.
    When it finishes, run the  installer(s) to put Flash Player on your system again.

  • Having trouble watching live streams such as jtv and twitch.tv. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling adobe flash but I still get no stream just ads and pictures. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Having trouble watching live streams such as jtv and twitch.tv. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling adobe flash but I still get no stream just ads and pictures. Anyone have any suggestions?

    I just wanted to follow this up by saying that you were entirely correct in your diagnosis of the situation.  My computer did have the faulty part you linked to.  I brought my laptop in and specifically told them to run that test, had it fail and then argued with the person at the genius bar and the manager.  Eventually they offered to have it sent out and have everything replaced for free of charge.  They did so mainly because I had complained about graphical issues almost every other time I had come in with problems and no one ran the test.  They should have caught this problem during my warranty, but they didn't, even though I mentioned the problem.
    Anyhow, after having the part replaced, I haven't had my computer crash a single time since, or had many of the issues mentioned above.  I've never had this experience before.  Even brand new, I got occasional crashes.  Hopefully this new trend continues.
    I do find that web browsing is still incredibly slow.  Web browsers just chug along at a slow pace, even though I have great internet speed.  Maybe I'll try just deleting my web browsers and reinstalling them...
    Anyhow, thank you for your help and knowledge Clinton.

  • I still get plug in failure even after uninstall and reinstalled adobe flash to my mac os x 10.7.5 (4 bit) with flash 16.0.0.235 how do I get this fixed??? HELP

    I still get plug in failure even after uninstall and reinstalled adobe flash to my mac os x 10.7.5 (4 bit) with flash 16.0.0.235 how do I get this fixed??? HELP

    That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Should i upgrade Adobe flash every time?

    i just want to ask Adobe flash every time upgradation is necessary,i feel troublesome for this. can i upgrade to the highest version one time? not every time upgradation.

    Every version has its own new features - so just see if those new features are what you need.
    If you don't need the new features and you work alone, there is no need to upgrade Flash every time.
    My personal recommendation is that if you are a pure animator with no need of ActionScript besides basic movie control, and is cofortable without the
    features in CS4 (Inverse Kinematics, bone, 3D transformation, etc), Flash 8 performs best since it is faster. It also accepts more import/export formats than any other version of Flash, so that version is good for graphic designers and artists.
    If you have to work with ActionScript 3.0, Flash CS5 seems best with its built-in TLF support (so that you can create TLF text within the GUI). Of course, if you target for multiple devices, the upcomng CS5.5 would be ideal.
    And finally, if you have to work with people with higher version of the software as you, you don't want to lag behind since Flash only saves to the format of one previous version (i.e. CS5 writes only to CS5 and CS4 formats, not CS3 or before). In that case and if you work with multiple people, you'll want to synchronize the versions of Flash. Users of Flash version differences higher than 1 will not be able to work with each other.

  • Every time need to reinstall Adobe Flash Player

    Hi All,
    When I start my laptop and goe to any website, it is asking me to install flash player. Many times I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but every time it is asking me to install adobe flash player. I am using internet explorer as browser and windows 7 operating system. As per one post I have completed the below activity. Still I am not successful.
    We're working on addressing these issues with our installers, but in the meantime these issues can be fixed using the following steps:
    1. Install Flash Player
    2. Download the SubInACL Installer from Microsoft
    3. Install SubInACL and note the install location
    4. Download the attached "reset_fp11.bat.zip" file and extract it to the SubInACL folder from the previous step. At this point, subinacl.exe and reset_fp11.bat will be in the same folder. Please note that you might not see the file extensions unless you've made them visible.
    5. If you are on Vista or Windows 7, right click "reset_fp11.bat" and select "Run as Administrator". If you are on XP, please make sure you are using an Administrator level account before double clicking.
    6. You'll see a window appear and text go by, this should only take a few seconds to complete.
    7. If you were unable to install Flash Player in step 1, do so now.
    8. Restart your computer and verify that Flash is working correctly.

  • Sick and tired of having to reinstall Adobe Flash Player everytime I restart my computer.

    I'm running the Latest Flash player 11.2on Windows 7 64bit with IE 9 and McAfee antivirus and this problem has been going on for at least a year. I keep hoping that a new version of flash player will solve the problem but after a year I am just sick of problems with Flash. (I hate Steve Jobs but I'm beginning to share his view of Flash.) Every time I start my laptop I have to reinstall Flash to view any videos or flash content on the web. I always get a message that I need to update my flash player and I have already updated it a million times. After I update it works until I restart the machine. I searched for solutions on Google, Adobe Forum and tried all the different suggestions but the problem continues. I've tried using other Antivirus programs but the problem continues. It doesn't matter if I use the 32 bit or 64 bit IE. It's always the same problem. Why can't Adobe find a solution to this problem? People have been complaining about the problem since Flash Player 9. I've experienced the problem since Flash player 10. I'm wondering if Adobe is doing it intentionally just to increase the number of downloads for the Adobe Flash player and every time I have to deselect the stupid Google bar. Maybe Adobe is just trying to make more money off Google by forcing me to reinstall two or three times a day?

    Sorry, I should have explained more.  You do indeed want to use the 64 bit installer, it's just that this installer actually installs both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Flash Player.  The 32 bit version of Flash Player is kept in the syswow64\macromed\flash folder and the 64 bit version is in system32\macromed\flash.
    I'm a bit concerned that this might not help, given that you see the same behavior for both 32 and 64 bit versions of IE, but doing a clean install can't hurt and should hopefully fix the install log issue I see in the reports you sent me.
    If you can, please generate another set of logs after doing the uninstall and folder/file deletions.

  • Adobe Flash (Every version) Constantly Crashes...

    Hello
    I'm new to the forums but hopefully I can ask this question appropriately.
    I've scoured the net for days now and have read similar threads in this forum looking for an answer and nothing i've done has worked.
    Both Flash and Shockwave crash every single time I go to a website with a high usage of flash.
    I've uninstalled both using the official uninstaller and have resintalled different versions and it doesn't seem to matter, it still crashes.
    I've tried going to flash sites in Chrome, Firefox, and IE. They all crash.
    I've updated my sound and video drivers and that didn't make a difference.
    If I go to the adobe flash website I do see the animated F without a crash but that's the only site with flash that doesn't crash.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!  (But please, no one comment telling me how they have the same problem and can't figure it out. I don't know why that's such a common trend in forums but It doesn't help me and no one cares.)

  • Having to reinstall Adobe Flash Player over and over and over....,

    I've ignored this problem for a while now and I really want to get this over with. It's really starting to piss me off.
    So I have to download adobe flash player over and over because Steam tells me "You will need to Install the latest Flash plugin to view this page properly" (I'd like flash player to work so I could watch trailers from the Steam window instead of searching up trailers on my browser.) So I do and maybe in about a few days I have to reinstall another flash player. But what's weird is when Steam's flash player doesn't work I can watch Youtube videos just find on Firefox and Internet Explorer.

    Try uninstalling it this way first.

  • Cannot reinstall Adobe Flash Player on Macbook OSX 10.5.8

    I was trying to watch videos on facebook but I was unable to due to the fact that it said that adobe flash player was out of date.  I therefore uninstalled adobe flash player and tried to reinstall it from adobe's website.  When I try to reinstall it, the icon bounces at the bottom of the page but does not open.  Everytime I have done this, it says the "application not responding".  Does anyone have any idea what is going on, and if anyone has an answer to this problem?

    FlashPlayer can be difficult ot updates. In the document below some of the files specifics  will not apply to your computer, but the general procedure probably applies.
    *Flash Player for PPC Macs*
    Adobe's last release of Flash Player for PPC Macs was in November, 2010 with release 10.1.102.64 Subsequent releases are for Intel based Macs only.
    To check your installed version of FlashPlayer - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
    Download the version you need from Adobe.
    To install:
    1) Run Disk Utility and verify your hard drive.  If the hard drive reports errors then it will need repairing first (another topic).  If it verifies, run Disk Utility's repair permissions.
    2) Back up your hard drive, ideally to a bootable clone. A bootable clone will allow you to restore your hard drive to its original state should something go wrong.
    3) Quit all applications to ensure nothing is actively using Flash. You can even do the next step while booted to Safe Mode to make sure.

    [Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
    4) Run the uninstaller application. Adobe says, "Adobe recommends that you restart your computer before you install a different version of the player."
    5) Run the installer application from the .dmg file you got from the second download.
    6) Use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your computer. this is important when installing anything from Adobe.
    7) Restart your computer.
