Two versions of flash player appear in resource monitor

I tried loading recent version of Flash Player. The first time I got a message which said something to the effect that I was loading the program outside of library boundaries. I just checked OK and then had to start the loading of Flash Player again. It now appears that 2 versions have been loaded. This now is locking up my system or causing to run very slow. I did uncheck the Hardware Accelerator some time ago but it was still running slow even after that and before I loaded the lastest version (versions). Would appreciate someone giving me some advice. Thanks in advance.

I have two versions of Flash Player

I have two versions of Flash Player, ActiveX and Plugin. Do I need both of them?

It is recommended to install both to ensure that Flash will work in as many browsers/third party apps as possible. Apps like skype, microsoft office, adobe reader that use Flash Player may require the active X flash player. Most browsers use the normal plugin.

Why are there two versions of flash player on my laptop?

I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 Professional which seems to handle both 32 and 64 bit software. I use Firefox as my default browser and use MSIE only when I must.
A Flash update failed so I checked the uninstall programs list thinking I'll just uninstall and reinstall the latest.
Huh? I found both "Flash Player 10 Active X" and "Flash Player 11 Plugin 64 bit." Now I've no clue what failed to upgrade nor why there are two versions. Why 10 AND 11 and why is one called "Active X" while the other is called "Plugin".
And, to confuse me further, there is also Adobe AIR. I don't know what or why or how to deal with all of these. Would somebody kindly explain?
And, how do I figure out what update to which failed?

The ActiveX Flash Player is used by Internet Explorer and the plug-in Flash Player is used by Firefox.
Download the following files:
Uninstaller for 64 bit Operating Systems
Flash Player for Internet Explorer
Flash Player for other browsers
Close the browser and disconnect from the Internet. Run the uninstaller and restart Windows.
Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (tip: copy and paste these paths into the path bar in an Windows Explorer window)
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player
%appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
Verify that the file “FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl” in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ system, has been deleted.
Run both installers.

Do IE and Firefox have their own versions of Flash Player

I have a very basic question. I have IE and Firefox. It looks like you need two versions of Flash Player, one for IE and another for Firefox. Is this true. If it is true, will the Firefox version overwrite the IE version or visa versa, when you install the Flash Player versions? In other words will they automatically coexist without messing each other? Thank you.

There are two versions of Flash Player
ActiveX for Internet Explorer
plugin for all other browsers
The two versions can coexist (there are different files for the two versions: Flashxx.ocx for IE, NPSWFxx.dll for other browsers).

Using two different versions of Flash Player

While I realize that Flash Player is up to 10. something and a security update is available for it, one program I use over the net will not recognize anything over version 9x. It seems like that internet application has trouble with version numbers over 1 initial digit. Thus 5.x, 6.x, up to 9.x is recognized fine, but 10.x is not!
So, my question is: While I would like to run the latest version of flash player with the security update, unless I can run version 9 or lower on the same computer, I will not be able to run verison 10 since I really need that program that only recognizes up to 9. IS IT possible to have both versions on the same computer and if so, how would one direct the computer to use the lower one when necessary?

#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.

How do I install a previous version of Flash Player

I need to restore a prior version of Flash Player. I found the web site that has the archived versions of Flash Player but I don't know what to do after I download the archive.

Windows 7 64 bit
IE 8.0.7600.16385
I downloaded archive FTP10.1_archive. It appears that the archive I downloaded may have two releases in it:
10_1r82_76
10_1r53_64
Since I don't know what version I had before the problems started, I want to work my way backwards through the archives until I find one that works with the video I am having an issue with, so I am starting with 10_1r82_76. If that doesn't work, I want to uninstall and try 10_1r53_64. If that doesn't work I want to download and install the version(s) labeled Flash Player 10. If that doesn't work, the version(s) labeled Flash Player 9.0.280 and higher, etc.

Latest Version of Flash Player wont doenload - Setting Manager is open?

I am trying to install the latest version of Flash player and keep getting an error message stating that the flash player settings manager is open and that I need to close it. I have no adobe products running at all and there does not appear to be an option in the control panel to close the setting manager. Help!!!!

There are two parallel strings going in this forum on this subject. On the other string, I gave the information you are
requesting.
I get the
following message:
You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.
Download it from Adobe.
I do not have the Macromed folder on my PC.
There is a proposed fix posted on the other string by someone who spent 15 minutes on the Adobe Chat line
before being referenced to this forum. The only thing I see different in his proceedure is the unloading and
reloading of the Java Scripts, which I didn't do. Take a look at his posting and let me know if I should do the
same thing with Java to get my Flash Player to work.

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.

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

How can I download the current version of Flash Player?

After nearly 3 weeks my original request received 0 replies; I'm not too impressed with this forum. I uninstalled and reinstalled my OS X 10.6.8 operating system on my MacBook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo after following troubleshooting instructions to uninstall which left me w/o any version. I was then able to reinstall version 10.1.102.64 of Flash Player. However, I am still not able to install the current version, 11.1.102.55, either using Safari or Firefox. What is the issue? I hope this inquiry is viewed and answered since my previous posting was not.

I just wondered if you ever saw my reply to your above message since it doesn't appear here. I've copied it below:
When I click on the link provided in your email, it takes me to: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/909550 where I select the link below.

Upon clicking on that link, using my satellite connection, I see this url: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/licensing/mac/install_flash_playe r_11_osx.dmg as my screen goes black for a very few moments and then returns to the same screen where I made that selection, the page I see when clicking on the link you provided in your email.
That is all. It is about the same experience I have when clicking on the download now button/link at: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. I see the page: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.1.102.55/install_flash_player_osx. dmg, but while it says the download may take a few minutes it only takes a few seconds, if that, to return to one of the previous pages. This is my experience using Safari. With Firefox, which I have not been using regularly and had not upgraded to the latest version, I found I was unable to upgrade Firefox and so maybe that tells you something. The problem may be more with my computer than with your software.
Still I am clearly quite frustrated at not being able to view certain videos, etc. which use the latest version of Flash Player.
Thanks for your concern.

Installing multiple versions of Flash Player

I am running Windows 7 x64, and curently have Google Chrome running in addition to IE 8. Has anyone installed multiple versions of Flash Player to support both browsers...IE and Chrome?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, there are two Flash Player versions; one is the ActiveX for Internet Explorer, and the other one is the plugin for all other browsers, e.g. Firefox, Chrome, etc.
Just go to the FP download page with each browser type, then do the install. IE will install the ActiveX, the other browser will install the plugin. (Once you install the plugin, it will work for all non-IE browsers.)

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.

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

Update
GeForce FX 5200
175.19
Your PC currently has the latest driver installed for your GPU. No driver update is necessary at this time.
