Trying to access Flash Player Settings Manager always asks to install but I already have it installe

I am trying to access Flash player website settings manager. I link from a browser to the settings manager but instead of a panel there is a download required to get latest Flash Player which I already have. I download it successfully. Windows 7 control panel has Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX 64-bit. When I link again, I get the same message to download flash player as if I never did it before. What am I missing? There is also Flash Player (32-bit) icon that invokes Flash Player settings manager.Is this the best I can do to get the website storage settings? My ultimate goal is to remove Flash player cookies which I learned about today to be a problem. Thanks.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Just at what site are you getting this message to download instead of the settings panel?

If you want to temporarily remove Flash Player LSO's(cookies), just delete the browser's temporary files. If you want to permanently remove LSO's, go to your control panel and activate the Flash Player Settings Manager. Change the Local Storage Settings to Block all sites from storing information on this computer. However, most sites with Flash Player videos will not work with this setting.

I cannot add a site to the list of allow micro sites on Flash Player settings manager

I cannot add a site to the list of allow micro sites on Flash Player settings manager.
as Adobe says at his help document (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlayer/LSM/WS6aa5ec234ff3f285139dc56112e3786b68c-7ff8.htm l):
Displays a list of previously visited websites that have asked to use the camera or microphone on your computer. You can allow or block the use of your camera and microphone by sites on the list. You can also ask to be prompted for permission to use them. Finally, you can choose to remove sites from the list. Removing a site deletes all settings and data stored for that site in Flash Player.
The list initially contains only the sites you have already visited. If you want to specify camera and microphone settings for sites you have not yet visited, you can choose to add sites to the list. Once a site is on the list, you can specify whether to always allow camera and microphone use, ask permission, or never allow camera and microphone use by that site.
I cannot find any button to add a website. Can you help me please.
Thanks in advanced

No prompt to update when Flash Player Settings Manager is set to check for updates automatically

My understading of http://forums.adobe.com/message/3562892#3562892 (March 2011) is that when an outdated version of the Player is used on Windows, the prompt to update should occur after the next restart of the operating system.
So, when http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ in Safari for Windows shows an outdated version 10.x of the Player:
I restart Windows
I log on
I wait a few minutes.
Problem
Usually, no matter how long I wait, there is no prompt to update; Flash Player Settings Manager continues to show an outdated plug-in alongside a greater version of the ActiveX item.
I see this problem with multiple computers running Windows XP and Windows 7.
Any suggestions?

Flash Player checks for updates every 7 days. The NCP doesn’t change this. Where the user in that post is getting confused is that only after Flash Player detected an update (on average 3.5 days after a new version is released), the dialog will appear after a restart.

When I try to watch certain videos on my ipad2 it says Thanks for trying to access Flash Player. Unfortunately it is not available for your device because of restrictions that Apple has put in place. Can any tell me what app I can download to replace it.

Use the iSwifter browser from the app store. Works for most flash content.

Flash Player won't install - says Flash Player Settings Manager is open

I cannot install Flash Player on my Win7 64-bit PC. When running the install from the download page, I simply get the error "Installation failed - Unknown Error". If I run the install from the standalone installer I get the message "Flash Player Settings Manager is Open" and a "quit" button".
I don't know what the Flash Player Settings Manager is or where to find it. It certainly does not seem to be "open" anywhere that I can see.

There was a discussion about this topic. One answer that many people found useful is:
1. Check for the file 'FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl' in the following folders:
On 32-bit systems, C:\Windows\system32
On 64-bit systems, C:\Windows\syswow64
2. Delete this file.
If you don't have the permission to delete the same, use a third-party application, such as Unlocker. (http://www.emptyloop.com/unlocker/)
3.Try installation or uninstallation.
Thanks

Where is the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manage?

I want to get rid of "Press escape to exit full screen mode." You tell me to go to "Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager." Where is this?

I am not sure what the instructions may be that you are following.
For FlashPlayer control panel try this
* http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html
The link should actually open the control panel.

Manage "Flash Player Settings Manager" in IT Environment

Hello Community,
Is there an IT Administrators guide or document for managing and configuring the "Flash Player Settings Manager" Control Panel app for version 10.3? We have approximately 1000 systems that we need to manage and push the software to and basically want to turn off the "check for updates automatically" and "Check Now" Updates features. I would like to be able to configure the Settings Manager applet in the configuration of Flash Player before deployment so that we don't have to manually configure each workstation post install (which will never happen anyway...too many systems ).
Flash Player updates will be managed through our Altiris Notification server to keep all systems up to date.
Any help in this direction would be greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately, while you can disable checking for updates with the mms.cfg file, the UI on Windows does not reflect the changes that the admin has enacted. The mms.cfg functionality is still applied, we just didn't have enough time in the current release to reflect that in the UI. I believe our next release will address this, you should be able to verify by testing out our FP 11 RC release.

Flash Player Settings Manager - Text Missing

I am running Windows XP Professional on several machines. When I launch the "Flash Player Settings Manager" Control Panel applet, I have noticed some missing text in the line items with radio buttons. This is happening on all of my computers. For example, under the "Storage" tab, here is what I see...
Notice that at the end of each of the lines with radio buttons, it stops at "this" rather than "this computer" as it should. On all four of the tabs, each of the lines that have a radio button is missing the last word.
After a bit of trial and error, I figured out the cause of this problem - I just don't have a solution. Under the "Display" Control Panel applet, I am running the "Windows Classic" theme rather than the default "Windows XP" theme (I don't care for the "cartooney" look). Anyway, I run all of my computers like this. When I change to the "Windows XP" theme, the text is displayed correctly...
I wanted to see if anyone else can replicate this. If so, hopefully Adobe can fix this in a future release.
-Steve

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the excellent bug report! I really appreciate the level of detail you gave (I love screenshots) and providing others with a workaround. I wanted to let you know that this is a known issue (our internal bug number is 2876437) and it should be fixed in our next scheduled release. Please feel free to ping me anytime for future updates.
Thanks,

Adobe Flash Player won't stop asking to install.

I'm using windows 7 and Mozilla firefox, but this problem happens even when I don't have a browser window opened.
Adobe flash player won't quit asking to install. probably once a minute i receive a (UAC)request to allow adobe flash player to install. Even with no browser windows open. EVEN WHILE I AM WATCHING FLASH VIDEOS, it is telling me to install it. It literally interupts everything I am doing, even when I'm not browsing the internet.
I currently have it completely uninstalled as far as i know. I used the adobe uninstaller available on this site. So there's no flash player or shockwave player installed on my computer... still receiving this request every minute or so.
It's ridiculous.
I tried running a virus scan, because thats the only thing I could possibly think of that would be this irritating, and it says that my computer is clean.
Is there some secret files somewhere I need to delete? I'm thinking of deleting the activex install files. I keep getting "The ActiveX Installer (AxInstSV) service entered the running state." in my event viewer, which seem to coincide with this issue.

I finally got it fixed but I'm not sure what fixed it.
here's everything i did:
Uninstalled all browsers.
Uninstalled all adobe stuff.
Uninstalled Java
Deleted anything left behind (i left browser stuff though because i wanted it to save my passwords and such).
disabled activexsvinst or something service. The activex installer service.
Used CC cleaner to clean up registry
Made sure to delete almost everything in user/local/temp folders and such (where adobe and java store stuff usually. I dunno might want to be careful doing this cause i dont know if there's important files there. Also some folders won't let you delete it but that just means you have to go inside the folder and select all then delete. The only file that should be in one of thosetemp folders is like fxsapidebug or something, in my opinion.)
rebooted
ran CC cleaner again.
rebooted
not sure if this helped but i also used HIJACKTHIS and uninstalled some browser helpers that didnt get deleted. In particular there was an adobe one i think. Cant really remember tho. Now that i look at hijackthis again, it couldn't have been this because the browsers helper stuff is still there.
I also ran about 500000000 virus scans with multiple scanning programs and none of them detected anything.
I've reinstalled Mozilla and flash and haven't had any problems since.
Hope this helps anybody else with the same problem.

Flash Player 10.1 says it's installed but NO videos work in any browser!

I have spent the last 3 hours trying to get this to work but to no avail. I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium with CA Security Suite. I have IE8 and Firefox and neither will allow me to play videos from any site. I've disabled the firewall. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I've downloaded the stand alone instead of using the stupid download manager. I've done everything under the sun but IT STILL DOESN'T WORK! I never had this problem until FP 10.1 was installed. Not sure what else to do and honestly would just like to find somewhere where I can download the old version of FP I had as this one is a fail.

I don't know what you mean by that - it is impossible to know what your problem is if you don't describe the symptoms.
Various problems with the new Flash Player can be fixed by
disabling hardware acceleration (Flash Player Settings);
updating the device drivers for your graphics/video/display adapter.
If you want to go back to a previous FP version, you first need to uninstall the current version (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), then download, extract, and install the archived version of your choice (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html).

Flash player settings manager does not display

This happens in both Safari 4.0.4 and Firefox 3.5.5. Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8). I just get an empty white rectanglar space where the settings panel ought to be. Rest of the page (help, menu sidebar, etc) displays just fine. Happened with Flash Player 10.0.32, so I upgraded to 10.0.42. Same problem. In Firefox it happens even if I turn off NoScript.
I'm trying to access the settings panel at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l
Safari's Activity manager shows the error "expired server certificate" for
https://www.macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/settingsmanager2.swf?defaultTab=privacy
Firefox's Error Console does not seem to show that error. It merely spits out nearly 100 warnings about the page.
Page Info indicates the settings panel is embedded with dimensions of 0px x 0px
But Firefox has a non-encrypted panel:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/settingsmanager.swf
"The site www.macromedia.com does not support encryption for the page you are viewing."
I don't see anyone else reporting this problem. Any ideas about what could be blocking the panel from displaying that i can fix?

Just registering that I have the same problem as well. Tried flash 10.0.42 on Firefox 3.5.5 and IE 8. I had this problem on two seperate windows XP machines, both running SP 3.
Anyone have an idea as to what's up?

Flash Player: Settings Manager

OS: Windows 7
Browser: Firefox 3.6.15
Flash Player version 10,2,153,1
My problem:
It started about 2 days ago when I got on my computer after about a week off, I went to open http://www.pandora.com/ when it gave me an error telling me the Local flash storage is currently disabled and must be re-enabled before I could use Pandora. After getting to the settings manager page I attempted to change the setting to allow it instead, nothing happened.
Some of the options change, but uppon switching to another tab (of the settings manager) or closing the browser tab they revert. Some options wont change at all.
At the moment all the settings seem to be "off", Please help I don't really have any Idea what to do.
I've tried re-installing.
PS: I also have a second user account, (I'm on the admin account) The settings manager works fine and all the buttons work on the second account and nothing seems to be wrong with adobe on it.

From the account where the settings don't work:
close all browser windows
open Windows Explorer
type %appdata%\Adobe in the address bar
delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there
type %appdata%\Macromedia in the address bar
delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there
Now try again.

¿No 'Flash Player Settings Manager' in the new flashplugin package?

http://www.macromedia.com/support/docum … nager.html
I think this Settings Manager should be included in the 'flashplugin' package. In other distributions, like fedora, developers included it.
Thank You!!
