Unavailable version of Adobe Flash Player
I am running Windows 7 64 bit, IE9 and am having trouble with Adobe Flash player and get the message in my title.
What Flash Player version do you have? 10.3.181.16
What files do you have in C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash ?
flash10s.ocx
flash10t.ocx
flashinstall
flashutil10s_ActiveX.dll
flashutil10s_ActiveX
flashutil10t_ActiveX.dll
flashutil10t_ActiveX
install
Are you trying to use Flash Player on the 64-bit version of IE9? YES
I also get the Flash Notification that I gave attached every few minutes. That's
a real bummer.
I think I'm in the "Perfect Storm". New versions of: Windows7, IE9, and Yahoo
Mail.
Must be causing a vortex of electrons/pixels or whatever.
Thanks for helping me.

How can I get the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to download on my Mini Mac 10.6.8?
Adobe Flash Player 11.9.900.110
Download 11.8.800.168
The second one is the current stable version. The first is the current beta. -
It could be a coincidence but when I upgraded to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.262 I can't seem to play any games on Yahoo Messenger with my friends. I know when I updated for some reason I had to try 3 times before it took it. It shows it's updated. I'm wondering if I have to un-install and re-install it. Also, I never use Internet Explorer 8 but when I went in there to check I found a plug in check link there and it showed over there that Adobe Flash Player needed updating but it was an older version and not the one Foxfire had me update too. Now I'm really confused if this is causing a problem. I have never had to check Internet Explorer for plug ins before. Have always just updated in Foxfire since that's what I use. The Adobe Flash Player seems to play videos okay so not really sure if that's the issue or not. My Java plug-ins have been fine and have been updated awhile ago, so I know it's not that. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Well, after hours of trying to figure it out I gave up and un-installed and re-installed that last verion of Adobe Flash Player and now it seems I can play games again in Messenger. Everything else had been fine just that. I can only figure it was because it was having a hard time updating the first time and took me 3 tries. So even though it said it was installed, apparently it wasn't done correctly.
Though when I couldn't figure out what was wrong at first I looked and checked to see all the things were enabled that were supposed to be and they were.
I even tried to go to the Adobe site and download the last version I had and couldn't find it. Kept coming up with the new version. Others said if you download a particular older version it may not have all the security features in it.
This really gets to be a bit much, especially when you're by yourself and have only a smattering of knowledge of technical things.
Thanks fore responding to my question.

Updated version of Adobe Flash Player won't work...??
I am trying to upload the newest version of Adobe Flash Player. Though, after about 5 attempts of installing, uninstalling and reinstalling again, I still can't watch videos on youtube, hulu and other related sites. I also tried right-clicking the "Install Adobe Flash Player" icon and selected "Show package Contents" and went into "Contents/Resources" to select the package...but the package wasn't even listed! I am running out of ideas here...any suggestions??
Oh okay. I'm not up on all the computer lingo.

How do I choose and then install the correct version of Adobe Flash Player for my machine?
First thing - My computer - PROCESSOR: Intel Celeron 450 @2.2 Ghz, MEMORY: 4GB, OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit, BROWSER: IE 9.0.8112.16421
Everything was hunky-dory until the auto-installer updated my version to the Flash Player 11.2 version and that's when it all went downhill. As soon as it installed that version, none of the TV networks, news networks or Hulu recognized that I had Adobe Flash Player. In addition, I could no longer create a blank new tab in IE or use the tools button (the little gear symbol) in the upper right hand of an IE window. Because of the IE problems, I figured it was a problem with IE and went about searching for a solution in that arena. I finally found something at Microsoft that helped me determine if it was an IE problem and went through the various steps. The final step required booting into safemode and trying to replicate the problem. IE worked fine in safemode so, Microsoft determined the problem had to be with outside influences.
After several frustrating attempts with other fixes including virus scanning and firewall settings, the problem persisted. I then un-installed Flash Player per Adobe's instruction and re-installed the recommended 'latest' version. The problem remained. So, when all else had failed I did a full system restore to a point over a month ago, which is prior to the occurence of the problem, while at the same time noting which drivers and programs would be affected. I already had a sneaking suspicion that it was Flash Player because I read the full system requirements for the recommended version that the auto installer was trying to install (see below). I then began updating everything one at a time to see if any of the windows/software/driver updates had any affect on IE. None did until I got to the Adobe Flash Player and updated it.
Now, what I think the problem is: The auto installer ONLY looks at Operating System and Browser to determine which version of Adobe Flash Player is correct. In this regard, my machine should use the latest 11.2 version. HOWEVER, if you look at the full system requirements for the 11.2 versions, you will note that it requires a...... 2.33 Ghz processor! In this regard, 11.2 is NOT the correct version for my machine as it only has a 2.2 Ghz processor. And I think therein lies the problem.
So. I freely admit that I am not a computer expert and am, in fact, so far removed from ever even contemplating wearing such a title that I'm sure all who read this are sitting in your offices having a good laugh at my expense. As such, I welcome anyone and everyone to tell me what I've done wrong and how I should go about fixing it. If my deductions are correct, then could someone please tell me how to choose the correct version for my machine and then tell me how to actually install it on my machine.
I know that this is a long post and I thank you all for your patience and any help you choose to offer me.Mr. Willener,
Thank you for your reply.
I did un-install and then re-install per the Adobe recommendations which are what you listed in your reply. The problem remained until I did a MS Windows restore to a restore point a month or so ago. The IE problems vanished. However, now I'm using an outdated and unsupported version that is lower than most of the web pages require for their sites, at least the ones I want to view (they all say I need to upgrade my Flash Player which, when I did, put me in this fix).

You can safely ignore that requirement; it is simply not true.
Why would Adobe post a system requirement of 2.33 Ghz for 11.2 if it simply were not true?

Since the latest version of Adobe Flash Player wouldn't install after deleting the version I had that did work, should I try to install an older version?
I just checked in the control panel and my add/remove programs and listed is Adobe Flash Player Active X, version 11.1.102.55. But when I tried to view a video I could not and got a message saying I needed Adobe Flash Player. Now I'm really confused?????
''Locking. Duplicate of: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/897585 ''Hi,
What does "still won't work" mean? Flash Player 10.3.183.90 is very old. You might find that many sites require a newer version of Flash Player to view content, perhaps this is what you mean by "still won't work". Depending on your system, you may be able to upgrade to OS X 10.6 which will enable you to install the newest version of Flash Player. There's lots of information on this on the internet. Just search for "upgrade OS X 10.5.8 to 10.6" or similar.

I just updated my macbook pro and now every time i go to youtube it tells me I have to download the new version of adobe flash player so i do and it still wont let me play it ..
Assuming Allan's advice is not correct, and you do run the installer, I think I've heard of that problem and it involves removing the old Flash plug-ins, then install the new version. I don't use it so I don't know what they are called, but will be the /Library/Internet Plug-ins folder.
You can go here and enable HTML5 in YouTube so you don't have to use Flash: http://www.youtube.com/html5
Most(?) of the content is HTML5, but you may run into videos where you still need Flash. -

Download & Installation Failure of Latest version of Adobe Flash Player
I have recently tried to download & install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player & the process failed every time because of a reported error in the script.

when i click on a video say on Facebook i am asked to download the latest version of adobe flash player which i have but it still keeps asking me any ideas ?
You are downloading the Flash installer, which I think itself downloads another installer, which may again download something else that has to run. Adobe's installer is one of the worst pieces of software on the PLANET.
That said, the problem is that you are not actually running the installer and letting it update Flash. Doing so will force you to quit Safari in the process.
Go look for whatever Adobe downloaded to your Downloads folder and run it. -

I have gone through the procedure for downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, but still get the same messages when I reopen Firefox and revisit these sites.
There does not seem to be the same problem with Safari, which runs the latest version of Adobe Flash Player with no trouble.

Flash Player upgrade required
You must download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content.
Even I hd already installed latest version of Adobe Flash PlayerAdobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.6.1.629 is not Flash.
There are two different versions of Flash, the '''''ActiveX''''' version for IE and the '''Plugin''' version used by most other browsers.
1.Download the Flash Plugin version setup file from here: <br />
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
Save it to your Desktop.<br />
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.
4. Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
* On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). <br />
