The latest version of flash player is installed and yet none of the programs that use it can find or access it. I am running Windows 7. Is there anything in the Registry that could be blocking flash player from being accessed or used?

The subject is the question. Files with flv extensions cannot be run or identified. Other software that uses flash player such as Rhapsody, can't find or use it either. It feels like a registry problem. Please do not waste time suggesting I uninstall and reinstall flash player as I have done than several times with no improvement or solution.

Flash Player is a plugin, and typically used by browsers (and sometimes other software.)  Flash, by itself, won't open flv files.  Instead you'd load those files into your web browser and it would load Flash to render them.
I don't know if Rhapsody uses the ActiveX or NPAPI versions of Flash Player.  Which do you have installed?  You can check this by going into the Programs and Features control panel and looking for the Adobe Flash Player entry(s).  It'll say NPAPI, PPAPI, or ActiveX at the end.

    Hi,
    I have the font installed and yet, my itunes looks weird. What else can be done?
    Thanks in advance

    - Have you tried resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next connect the iPod to your computer. If it shows in iTunes restore the iPod.
    - If it did not show, see if placing the iPod in recovry mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.

  • I've "successfully" installed the latest version of Flash Player. How do I find where it "lives" so that I'm certain it's in there. Also, do I put the App icon in the trash now? (I am on a Mac) Thank you!

    I've "successfully" installed the latest version of Flash Player, as recommended by Firefox. How do I find where it "lives" so that I'm certain it's in there. Also, do I put the App icon that appears on my desktop, in the trash now? I am on a Mac and I am not technically inclined.
    Thank you!

    Your list of plugins shows that you have installed Flash 10.2 r152 which is the current release version.
    You can also confirm that Flash is installed by visiting this link - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about

  • Installing the latest version of Flash Player

    Since installing the latest version of Flash Player I receive a constant "Plug In " failure message. I have re installed, uninstalled, sent error reports, checked my system, followed trouble shooting instructions.  It still does not work. Is the upgrade a dud? Tried to send this message to "contact Adobe three times, Where to from here?

  • Why can't I install the latest version of Flash Player?

    Why can't I install the latest version of Flash Player?  The install button is always gray.

    Don't use the downloader/installer.
    Use the FULL offline installer: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac /install_flash_player_12_osx.dmg
    And DON'T run it either. When you mount the dmg
    and it opens the window, right click the installer and "Show Package Contents"
    Double click the Adobe Flash Player.pkg and let it run the COCOA installer.

  • Why can't I install the latest version of Flash Player?  I have all plug-ins allowed.

    Why can't I install the latest version of Flash Player?  I have all plug-ins allowed.

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Close the window. Then select
               ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
    Step 3
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 4
    a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
              When visiting other websites
    From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
    b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
              Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Step 6
    Open this folder as in Step 4:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
              Flash Player (failing).plugin 
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 7
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 8
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked  
              Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
              Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 9
    Select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

    I installed the latest version of flash player and it said installed successfully and i can use it just fine, but when I checked system requirements it didnt seem to match. it needed 2.33 ghz and I have 2.13ghz. can this cause problems to my computer? i have an intel i3 proccessor, windows 7, internet explorer.

    Since all Intel i3 processors have at least 2 cores, your specs are well above the requirements; see http://ark.intel.com/products/family/75025#@All
    I have some computers with far slower processors, and Flash Player 14 works perfectly well on them too.

  • Firefox is not allowing me to install the latest version of Flash Player, or older versions that would allow me to open youtube etc. any suggestions?

    Hi there, Firefox not accepting latest version of Flash Player, or older versions that would allow me to open youtube and is continuouing to block it. any suggestions?

    '''''"... Firefox not accepting latest version of Flash Player ..."'''''
    Firefox shouldn't keep you from installing Flash; Firefox needs to be closed before attempting to install Flash - Adobe rules for installing Flash.
    Also, it seems that you have a real old version of Flash installed.
    '''Shockwave Flash 9.0 r45'''
    Two versions of Flash Plugins installed may confuse Firefox as to which version to use.
    You should download and run the Adobe Flash uninstaller program before attempting to install Flash.

  • I cannot uninstall or install the latest version of Flash Player

    Hi,
    the latest version of this  player is showing up, and is enabled on my computer but does not work: I cannot view any video or listen to radio except for youtube. When I try to uninstall it  and to retry the download of the latest version the installation/uninstallation will not complete and I get a message saying that I need to close program "brccmctl" even though no programs are open, and I cannot find that program in search. So I am stuck, can anyone help please ?

  • I downloaded the latest version of flash player, not working?

    I just got my computer back from being fixed and I'm redownloading everything I need.
    I have a Mac OS X Version 10.7.5 and i downloaded the latest version of flash player for it. It appears to be installed because there's a window opens up saying "Thank you, enjoy flash player." or something like that after I have downloaded the flash player.
    I've tried several times and I STILL can't watch videos or do things that require flash player.
    I went to my system preferences, clicked on Flash Player and went to the advanced bar, and it says "Plug-in version 11.9.900.117 is installed."
    However, when i go to this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html
    And I click the "Check Now" button to see if flash player has been installed onto my computer, it says:
    "Sorry, Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled.
    Please go to step 2."
    And so I did and downloaded it AGAIN. I only saw the same thing after i reloaded the page and tried again.
    I do not have an anti-virus program, so it can't be that.
    Is the flash player enabled?
    How do I check if it's enabled/enable it?

    It's usually in your browser's Tools section.

  • For the past week, I am unable to view videos. The page comes up with this comment: "Blocked plug-in" and it suggests that I download the latest version of Flash player. I have downloaded that and still get the same comment. Please help.

    I have an iMac11.2 and am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I have not had a problem viewing videos until the past week or so. Now I cannot view videos on my news, facebook or in email messages at all. A message pops up in the window that says "Blocked plug-in". I have downloaded the latest version of Flash Player for which it asks and still no luck. Can anyone here help me with this? Thank you. Grace

    TThere have been 3 updates to flash player ink the past month.

    this warning seems to be a part of the newer security updates.

  • Why can't I download the latest version of Flash player?

    My system recently updated from Windows Explorer 9 to Windows Explorer 10. But I was encountering issues with trying to update to the latest version of Flash even prior to that.  I keep getting the prompt that an update is available, but when I follow the steps, I get to Step 1, and click on the "Install now" button, and the screen changes to Step 2 but nothing else happens.  For a moment it says "Initializing..." and then it says "If you encounter any issues downloading Adobe Flash Player, click here."  But nothing else happens.  If I click on the "Click here" button, it just tells me that when the File Download box appears I should click "Run" and when the User Account Control box appears I should click "Yes."  But neither of these boxes ever appears!  Very frustrating!  (My current Adobe Flash version is 11.9.900.170 and my security program is Norton 360).  Thanks.

    Download and run these installers:
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

  • Is my PC too old/slow for the latest version of Flash player?

    Hello there guys.
    I wish I had noted down which version of flash player I was using before I updated to the new one, as I had not updated for a year or two and the old version worked fine but the new one does not. The symptoms of the new one I would describe in youtube videos or live streaming, the video quality is in slow motion and skips as if trying to catch up with the audio every 6 seconds or so.
    I have tried all the steps such as turning off hardware accelration, deleting excess plug-ins, only running one program at a time, ensuring its the latest version of flash, deleting flash browser data and cache and increasing storage limit.
    My PC specifications are as follows:
    AMD Athlon(tm) XP
    1.05GHz, 1.00 of RAM
    128 Mb of graphic memory
    Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3
    I am using Mozilla Firefox, the latest version as it updates itself automatically
    I tried watching HTML5 and non-HTML5 video's and both were laggy.
    I have checked the system requirements for the flash version I am having trouble with (Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.202) and it says it requires  2.33Ghz or faster to run so is it just a case of my PC is too old and slow processor to run the latest flash?
    If this is the case could someone recommend an archived version that will work for my system and using firefox.
    Many thanks,
    Simon.

    I just checked to see if it is the device driver that needs updating on NVIDIA website and got this report:
    Product
    Current
    Installed Driver

    Your PC currently has the latest driver installed for your GPU.  No driver update is necessary at this time.
