Trouble installing Flash Player 11 and Internet Explorer

Half way thru installing it stops and tells me to close Internet Explorer to continue.  I close it and it does not continue. Any hints?

RIght click your Task Bar and open the Task manager. Under Processes, look for iexplore.exe. click it and click "End Process" Click OK and it will be fully closed. I have WIndows 7 and IE absolutely WILL NOT close all the way unless I do this, even several minutes after I close the window.

  • Cannot install flash player due to internet explorer

    I am running Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 10. I have disabled activeX filtering, made sure scripting was enabled, and temporarily shut off my antivirus software as instructed by Adobe website. None of these things have fixed my problem. I try to download the flash player and in the middle of downloading it says to close internet explorer. I close all open windows of IE and push continue. It keeps telling me to shut down internet explorer even though it is not open. Please help. Thanks!

    I am having trouble opening SWF files with Flash Player 9 on my desktop with Internet Explorer 6.  Am i missing something?

    Hi Adele, Have you resolved this issue? Installing the newest Flash Player 10 would probably solve your problem and after that make sure you go into manage add ons and Update Shockwave Flash Object Active X and reboot.
    Post back if you have any questions.

    ok   here's more mystery.  i just uninstalled and reinstalled flash player using the adobe uninstaller and rebooting after each step.  aqlso installed latest java.  i started looking at videos and here are the ones that worked: you tube

                                                                                              bing (work on videos from their video section - entertainment type, but not from news videos)
    the common thing here seems to be that news type videos crash and entertainment type don't.  also videos seem more likely to crash on internet portals like yahoo

  • Trouble installing Flash Player 9

    Hi, I am trying to install Flash Player 9 and having a hard time.  I have uninstalled 10 and downloaded the archived folder for nine.  when I try to install 9r124_winax.exe it starts to install and then I get a popup that tells me it is not the most current version and that I can go to Adobe to get the most current one.  The only option is to click OK, then the download stops.  I don't want version 10 as it freezes a web page I need for school. Is there anyway I can work around this popup page and get version 9 installed.  Thanks

    I think the problem you are having is because you already have a Flash Player installed. You will need to uninstall Flash Player 10 from your machine before installing Flash Player 9. To uninstall Flash Player grab the uninstaller for your operating system from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html. Note that running this uninstaller removes all Flash Players from your computer so Flash will no longer work in any browser until you install a new Flash Player for that browser. Adobe has seperate installers for Internet Explorer and FireFox/Safari.
    Once the uninstaller finishes you can install a new Flash Player. Get the Flash Player you want from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, be sure to run the installer for the browser you are using. Note you should close your browser for the whole process of uninstall and install.
    Good luck.

  • Trouble installing Flash Player 11.8.800.94 on Macintosh

    I have had repeated trouble installing Flash Player 11.8.800.94 on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) despite following every step listed in the Macintosh Installation Help guide: uninstalling previous versions, turning off anti-virus protection, etc. Each time I get a warning message for both Safari and Firefox attempted installations as follows: "Error: General installation error." The only solution seemed to be to reinstall an earlier version: 11.7.700.225.
    Any suggestions?

    http://blueskyworkshop.blogspot.com/2013/04/cant-install-flash-on-os-x -mountain.html
    If you're not comfortable with terminal commands:
    Download the offline installer here (right click and "Save as")
    Quit all browsers
    Go to: MacHD/Library/Internet Plugins... and if the Flash Player.plugin is still there "trash it".
    Then go to: Mac HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe and "trash" the Flash Player folder if it's still there.
    Empty the trash.
    Mount the DMG and run the installer
    Relaunch Firefox and it should work

    Try uninstalling flash player using these directions. They
    were posted by BWolfe from Adobe in another msg..
    ONE: Identify possibly leftover Flash player bits
    a. Open C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder.
    b. Download the latest FP uninstaller from
    http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157.
    c. Run the uninstaller. If you get a notice saying you need
    to reboot, then reboot.
    d. Look at C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash folder.
    e. Does any file ending in .ocx remain? (flash.ocx,
    flasha.ocs, flash9d.ocx etc...)
    e1. If no, then you don't usually have any leftover locked
    bits.
    You're done with this part of the problem, go to the Adobe
    home page and see if you can install the latest version of the
    Flash Player.
    e2. If yes, then that remaining .ocx file may be locked.
    Right click it
    and select properties and look at the version tab.
    What is the version number?
    f. Is the version number Flash Player 9.0.16.0 or earlier?
    f1. Use the uninstaller instructions from this technote:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/4da116d3
    -- section "Flash Player 9.0.16.0 and earlier"
    -- DO NOT re-register the uninstaller. ONLY do this
    UninstFl.exe part.
    Yes, you'll need to know how to use the command line to do
    this. If you're not
    comfortable with that then take your machine to someone who
    is!
    g. Is the version number Flash Player 9.0.28.0 or higher?
    g1. Use the uninstaller instructions from this technote:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/4da116d3
    -- section "Flash Player 9 (9.0.28.0) and later"
    -- DO NOT re-register the uninstaller. ONLY do this
    UninstFl.exe part.
    In both the D and E sections above you'll need to use the
    specific name of the control that remains
    in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash. So if you had a
    stuck flash9b.ocx[DJM1] in the folder
    and version was 9.0.28.0, your uninstall command would look
    like this:
    UninstFl.exe -u
    c:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx
    That said, if you have trouble running these commands it
    really is necessary to find someone who knows how
    to use the command line, either a friend or a local
    professional. Or spend some time learning about the
    command line yourself.
    h. RERUN the uninstaller you downloaded earlier. This should
    get rid of the remaining (now unlocked) .ocx file and fix any
    registry keys associated with it.
    ALL of section "ONE: Identify possibly leftover Flash player
    bits" is important. BUT this locked bit problem only happens on
    maybe one out of 50 machines. So most people with installation
    problems such as this are not going to have locked bits.

  • Flash Player Crashing on Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox

    I downloaded Adobe Flash Player 10 when my computer told me about the new update about two-three weeks ago. It seems like ever since then it has crashed every two hours or so and then my computer has had this problem where the script disapears from both internet engines and the computer icons disapear and it shuts down like it would in a computer from the 1990s (as in instead of the blue screen saying "windows shutting down" it has that little grey bar that says "winodws shutting down").
    Whenever I restart it it is fine then another two hours pass by with me using a website like Youtube and the same thing happens. I have tried undownloading it and redownloading it but the same thing keeps happening.
    I'm not sure if there is a bug on it or not or if it is my own comp but it seems like whenever I use something that needs flash player for more than two hours the computer goes crazy.
    If it helps I am using a Microsoft Windows XP Intel Celeron processor 540 and it is about 4 years old now and everything is up to date on my add ons for firefox and internet explorer and I scanned for viruses and spyware and everything is clean.

    Hi, I don't think Pat will mind if I pop in with how to turn off the hardware acceleration:-) I'll let him handle the driver issues.
    Go to youtube and as soon as the video starts, right click on it and click on Settings and you should see a Display Setting; UNcheck the hardware acceleration.
    Hope that helps part of the possible problem.

  • Trouble with Flash Player 10 and Firefox 3.6.9

    I too an having trouble getting FP to work with FF.  I can use IE8 without any issue, but don't like IE.
    The directory shows FP is there but every site I visit that has a "flash" video/graphic, etc still tells me I need to install the plug-in
    Any ideas?

    Hi, thanks for the info. You have the correct Flash files for IE. Look in manage add ons for Shockwave Flash Object and make sure it is Enabled.
    Now you need to Install Flash Player into Firefox. Download the Flash Player Installer for Firefox and SAVE it to your Desktop:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    Once you have done that, then Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.
    RUN the Installer and when it is finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
    Now look in you plugins for that SWF and make sure it is Enabled.
    You had Installed Flash Player in IE, you just had not Installed it in FF yet. Now you should be fine and those Flash files should be in your Flash folder.

  • Trouble installing Flash Player 10.1

    When installing Flash Player, I receive an error Unable to Register and the installation stops.
    I have run the uninstall program, rebooted, and tried to rerun the installation program with the same results.
    I am running XP-Pro-SP3 and Explorer 8.  Any ideas, or do I need to go straight to support?

    First, make sure that you run the installer under an Administrator account.

  • I'm having trouble installing Flash Player 11.3.300.257

    Last week I got an automatic pop up to update Flash Player. I did as I normally do and a little while later I noticed that Flash Player is no longer working on my computer.
    My system:
    Dell Precision Workstation 690
    Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
    Mozilla Firefox 12.0
    I have full administrative rights on this computer
    I can provide other info as requested.
    The steps I have taken so far:
    The initial update installation appeared to work normally with no hang ups or delays. At the end of the installation Firefox opened to the Adobe page saying the installation was succesful. However, it became clear when I tried to watch video on Youtube and other sites that Flash was not operational.
    I went to the Flash download page again and tried the installation again, but had the exact same result.
    I checked the Plug-Ins in Firefox tools and it verified I have the latest plug ins installed for Flash Player.
    Rebooted the system and tried again. Same result. (I later shut down the system overnight and the next day tried again with the same result)
    I found the Flash Player uninstaller and ran that. Rebooted. Installed latest version. Same result as before (Installation seems to complete as normal but Flash is not working).
    I tried a clean installation per these instructions; http://forums.adobe.com/thread/928315
    I got the exact same result as before.
    Throughout the process, including after the clean install, I have checked this page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
    Each time I see the same thing - Under where it says "Can you see the movie below?" I see nothing. No movie and not even a grey box. Just blank white page until I see the box saying "Yes I can" and "No I can't".
    In another thread similar to this ( http://forums.adobe.com/message/4421001#4421001 ), someone asked the original poster this:
    "What files do you have in
    C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash ?
    C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash ?
    Can you also post the contents of the FlashInstall.log files from both these folders?"
    In a pre-emptive effort if it helps anyone, this is my answer to that request:

    I have never had an issue updating Flash Player on this computer before and nothing of any significance has changed (ie, hardware, software, admin rights, etc). I'm at a total loss and I would appreciate any advice anyone could give.

    Flash Player Protected Mode provides a modern, sophisticated set of security protections that we see as critical in today's security landscape. 
    We highly recommend that users not disable ProtectedMode.  Also, it's worth noting that by manually changing your mms.cfg, you have opted out of Protected Mode for all future versions of Flash Player, as we will continue to honor that preference. This puts your system at risk, and that risk will continue to grow over time. 
    Ultimately, this is an issue with the RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in.  There is a more technical explanation in the Mozilla bug referenced above in the thread, but the simplified version is that the security enhancements designed to prevent the introduction of malware via Flash Player make RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in no longer compatible with Flash Player for Firefox.  You can disable the record functionality to eliminate this issue, while retaining the ability to view both Flash and Real Player content.
    To disable the Real Player Browser Record functionality while maintaining the enhanced security provided by Flash Player with Protected Mode, do the following:
        Launch RealPlayer
        Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner of the window, and choose Preferences
        Choose Download & Recording from the left-hand menu
        Uncheck "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browser"
        Click OK
