Vista download issues for Flash player 10

I am running Vista on my desk top and did have Flash Player 10 installed and working fine. It suddenly stopped working and I followed Adobe's trouble shooting guide. That is I used the patch that was provided to uninstall, set the internet security options as instructed, downloaded/installed Flash Player 10 and then used the additional patch for Vista. Flash Player did not work after doing this and a search of my system did not return anything for Flash Player other than the two patches that I had used in the download process indicating that it did not instlall. I have tried several more times to resolve the issue but Adobe just keeps me going through it's endless trouble shooting loop. I still am unable to utilize anything that requires Flash Player since it appears that I am unable to install it. Can anyone help with this problem?

Thanks. Go up to Help and click on About Internet Explorer and if you see x86 then you are using the 32bit browser.
This is the default and you want to be sure you use that when Installing Flash Player.
It is best to turn off any pop up blocker when Installing FP.
Now I don't know if BitDefender is causing problems with IE/FP or not. But not too long ago, it was certainly causing a major problem with Firefox and Flash Player.
At this point you may want to go to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash Right click on the Flash folder and post back all files listed there.
Then go to All add ons and find Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control...Flash10e.ocx. It must be there and enabled.
If anything different I need to know that also.
Post the Flash files and the add on info back.
Thanks,
eidnolb

Getting error when trying to download update for flash player with OSX 10.91

Trying everything to download update for Adobe Flash Player. This is maddening. I have tried uninstalling previous player and re-installing and checked my preferences. Can any one give me some instructions that are easy to understand. I keep getting an error when installing.

There usually is an Adobe flash uninstaller that goes through a process satisfactorily.
Did you get the Adobe Flash update from their
page, directly? http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Also note the extensive info at Adobe link below.
If you are having trouble, or Safari is involved, if
you use a different browser, such as Firefox, etc to
get that version Flash update. There's another thing to
look into, in Mavericks, that older OS X didn't
have, that may affect installation...
In System Preferences, find a Flash Player preference
under "Other." Click on the Advanced tab and then "Check
Now" in the Updates section. An available new one
would be installed. There is a similar issue/answer
in the following solved ASC discussion thread:

Presented with blank download page for Flash Player update 13

I have tried to update to Flash 13, but each time I reach the download page (http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/) the images on the page disappear and I'm left with a blank page.
I need to update this - what on earth is happening? I hope someone can help?
I'm using Windows 8 64-bit with bang up to date Firefox. I have turned off Adblock Plus for the page, and tried switching off my virus software to allow the download, but it still goes blank.

Download the FULL offline installer:Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Close Firefox, and then run it.

Hi Bentley,

The link that is non-functional is "If you have issues

Hi Bentley,
I just noticed something. The link that I pasted, to your
post, does not work either. I noticed why, however, and it seems to
be why the link in your original page does not work, and why the
link in my post that goes to your post does not work.
It seems to be that if a link has a period after it (i.e., if
it is at the end of a sentence), the period is incorrectly included
in the "real" link. Somehow, whatever mechanism that processes the
post has a mini bug in it.
If you go to the link that is results in "Sorry, this page is
not available", and look up into the browser address bar, you will
see the period there each time.
I just thought that I would point this out, too, so that the
web techs in charge of the workings of the forums could look into
it.
Here is the original link, without a period after it, to your
original page.

How to play facebook game such as cityville in ipad, because it asking for flash player, but cannot download it for ipad

How To Play facebook games in iPad Safari?
Safari is asking for flash player to play it.
But i can't install it to iPad.
Or may be i must upgrade the version of safari for iPad?
or may be there some special application that can play facebook game
Thanks 4 ur help

Safari on the iPad does not support Flash and will not for the forseeable future.
Some of the FaceBook games have their own apps in the App Store that you can download.Some are the full games and some are not. For example "Cityville Hero" tells you when certain things happen in game so you can pop online on a computer and check it there, rather than letting you play it first.
Checking the App Store is the best place to find a way around using a site that requires a flash player. A lot of sites create apps so you can use them on the iPad/iPhone/iPod touch. And if you find a site that doesn't you can always contact the website creators to see if they have or will create an app for the iOS devices.

Is there a solution or work around for flash player issues?

Is there a solution, app or work around for flash player issues w/ iPad 2? Maybe even something in development?

Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so you could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app). But flash itself is unlikely to ever be supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ , and Adobe have failed to create a version of flash that works on iOS
There is a search box on the right-hand side of this page for further info.

A facebook game (ZumaBlitz) That I have been playing for years is causing me to be prompted to download and install flash player, when I do it still doesn't work.

Why has Zuma Blitz and other games stopped working? I have downloaded and installed flash player but it still doesn't work.

IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

"the activex control for flash player could not be registered" - Solutions Roundup

I recently ran into this problem on my computer:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems2.jpg
I am a Flash developer (as in I write SWFs, I don't work for Adobe). and when I updated IE to 10.2, "the activex control for flash player could not be registered". Since I am a developer, I also have Firefox and Chrome installed, with Flash running without problems. For a long time now, Internet Explorer has used a different version (ActiveX) to the other browsers, which use plugins. I am a strong supporter of Flash, it's great to develop with and has a very wide feature set which is growing all the time, unlike fixed technologies/standards. However, the weakest part is the install process - I don't understand why their is a Download Manager. Google Chrome does it's best (so far) by managing the install/update process entirely in the background. Anyway, it was in my best interest to try and get to the bottom of this.
For the record, on the problem machine I have Windows 7 with IE8, but I have seen almost identical symptoms with IE9, Windows XP SP3, as well as various iterations of Flash Player (10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and even some final editions of version 9).
First I tried the standard support here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
Basically, doing the manual uninstall and manual install of the latest version (without using the download manager, or have IE open). This did not work. I also tried the Microsoft "subinacl" program, together with "reset_fp10.bat". This didn't work either. However, you should try all of these things first before progressing further.
A quick note about people who had tried running the following at a command prompt: "secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose"
I didn't do this, because on investigating further it didn't seem to work with Windows 7, only Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 - though there was a few threads where this had fixed the problem for some users.
For my solution, it is recommended you use the manual uninstall / installers, so you should have them downloaded ready to use.
I then heard about problems with permissions in the registry with the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
So I opened regedit.exe (start - run - typed "regedit.exe"), navigated to the key and sure enough, I couldn't open it - permission denied - even though I had an administrator account. If for some reason, you can access this key (and any subkeys), then it's likely the following fix will not resolve the problem.
I then done further diagnosis, by using Process Monitor to try and install Flash Player, and I got the following:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems.gif
This shows all the access denied errors the Flash Player install was experiencing when trying to write to the registry key. This confirmed that this was the problem. I only stress this because several people said it was unwise to tinker with the registry. Though this is common advice, this is the only known fix for this precise problem at present, since you need to manually adjust the permissions yourself. I don't know who is at fault here - Microsoft or Adobe - but let's just get Flash fixed...
The solution:
Firstly, you may want to backup your registry, or the exact key. I didn't do this so I've provided no instructions on how to, but it is recommended for the paranoid. Also make sure as much software is closed down as possible - browsers, IM software, any junk in your system tray. As way of example, I happened to have "BBC iPlayer" installed and running in the background which uses Adobe AIR and Flash Player, so I exited that too.
1) Open regedit (start - run - type "regedit.exe"). You may need to right click on it and select "Run As Administrator", but I didn't as my account was already administrator.
2) Navigate to the key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
Click on it to confirm that you cannot access it (you will get an error) - if their are no problems - this probably isn't the cause of your issues.
3) Right click on it and click Permissions, and ignore any message that may pop up.
4) Under "Group or Usernames" click "Add". Type your account name name, or "Administrators" in the box, then "Check Names" to format it correctly, then Ok.
5) Now on the next screen click the checkbox to enable Full Control (this will also automatically enable "Read" permission too).
6) Click Advanced, then the "Owner" tab at the top. You will see that their is no "Current Owner". This is what we will now fix.
7) Click on your name to change the owner to (I went for Administrators). Also enable the checkbox entitled "Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects". Then click Ok. You will get an error message, which you can try clicking Retry to, but hit Cancel - this is not a problem.
8) Click Ok a couple of times and this part of your registry is now fixed.
9) Now it's a simple case of running the manual Flash uninstall program, then finally the manual Flash installer (for Active X - not the Firefox/Chrome plugin versions). To my surprise, after a couple of days looking into this - I finally had a solution and Flash in IE once more. If you are using Firefox too you may find Flash is no longer installed their (the uninstaller removed it). In this case just install via the Adobe site or try to watch a video on You Tube and you will be prompted or linked to the install.
Hope this provides a good round up of the possible solutions to this problem. Hopefully Microsoft or Adobe can find out what causes this issue in the first place so we don't have to go down this route for much longer. Chrome's implementation of Flash shows how effortlessly things can work!

They will stay on the screen. However, Process Monitor is only intended for advanced users. It is recommended that users try to navigate to the troublesome registry key using regedit, and see if they can access it or not without an error. This is far easier than trying to use Process Monitor, which is very complicated.
I used Process Monitor to confirm that it was just that key which was causing the problem, and not others. Process Monitor is not to be confused with the new Resource Monitor which is accessible via Task Manager in Windows 7 (and possibly Vista). If you must experiment (and Process Monitor is very useful for diagnosing many deep-level problems if you know what you're looking for) Process Monitor can be downloaded from here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
It replaces the older Sysinternals "FileMon" and "RegMon". For those interested in the technical side, I had to setup a number of filters to be able to get the results display as in the screenshot. First of all to just show Registry events. Then to just show events from the manual Flash activeX installer executable. The I added a filter to show only non-successfull results. And finally, for the purposes of the screenshot, added a filter to just show those with "Access Denied", since other non-critical errors are also picked up due to missing keys because installation has not yet been fully completed I guess. When experimenting, most of these filters were applied using the "is not" boolean logic, which will make sense if you experiment with the program.
Without adding any filters, it picks up so many events (hundreds per second) that it's otherwise unusable. e.g. 40,000 events within the first few seconds of opening the program. For this reason, I recommend simply using Regedit to diagnose the problem with the particular Flash registry key.

I have issues with Flash Player 10, can you help resolve this?

Hello everyone,
At the risk of giving too much information:
I run a Mac iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2.5 GB 667 MHz DDR2 5 DRAM with OS X version 10.4.11
The issue:
I recently did the following things,
a) Downloaded and used Safari Version 4 Public Beta (4528.17) Without any issues.
b) Downloaded and used Flash Player 10.
Prior to this I wasn't aware of any issues, so I shall assume that Safari and Flash Player 9 worked fine together.
I also run Opera version 10.00 Beta, Firefox version 3.0.1.0
Here's the issue, when I visit BBC iPlayer and select a TV or Radio progamme I get this warning ..."A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly. If it continues to run. your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?" YES/NO ( attached file).
Selecting Yes or No results in the TV or Radio Progamme continuing to play but all control is lost so a Force quit is neccessary.
This issue applies to Firefox and Opera.
Sky.com doesn't appear to suffer these issues in as much when I've uninstalled Flash Player, Sky asks for 10 to be installed and works fine once it's done. I should add that I installed Adobe AIR after the issues began without any resolution.
No doubt when you know what the issue is it's resolved in a flash, so come on who out there can help me...please.

Hello Chris,
Thanks for the Flash settings instructions, that was useful and now I understand that all those particular options are available from a right click. Having said that in this case I still wasn't able to resolve my issue, although I can right click and by clicking anywhere in the Adobe Flash Player Settings panel select or deselect there doesn't appear to be anyway to save that selection,(attached).
I should say at this point that I'm thinking that if my issue might be display speed then by disabling hardware acceleration this might resolve the issue.
Regards
Chris Antjoule

How do I get Active X control for flash player registered?

I have been having problems with flashplayer. I continue to get different messages when I try to download. The latest message is: Active X control for flash player could not be registered. What do I do to get the system working?

Looks to be a permission issue. Do you have administrator priveleges on the machine?

ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered - no solutions work

I am getting the "ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" when I try to install 11 on IE9 (Windows 7 64-bit). I have tried everything that has been suggested in other posts and forums to no avail. This is driving me crazy and hindering me from work. Can someone please help? Thank you!

Go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html and follow these instructions. This worked for my system and I was able top install the newest flash with no problems.
Make sure you are logged into a Windows Administrator account. If you are not, you will not be able to use SubInACL.
Download SubInACL from the Microsoft Download Center.
Follow the installation instructions. Make sure you install SubInACL (subinacl.exe) to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools.
Download the reset_fp10.zip file.
Open the fp10.zip file and extract the reset_fp10.cmd file to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\.
Both this file and SubInACL (subinacl.exe) must be in this directory.
Double-click reset_fp10.cmd. A command window will open, and SubInACL will run.
Do not use the machine while SubInACL is running.
After SubInACL finishes, you will see a prompt "Press any key to continue".

What to do now that Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3?

Adobe ended support for Flash Player 10.3 on July 9. Downloads are no longer available anywhere that I can find. Adobe says 11.7 is now the "extended release" version. Since 10.3 has been the only solution when the latest Flash Player version won't work with Firefox, what do we do now? I have tested every Flash Player release after 10.3, and each starts crashing repeatedly after 24 hours. Each time, retreat to 10.3 was the only solution. The other suggestions in Firefox help don't work. I uninstalled 10.3 a few days ago to test 11.8 - the latest. It doesn't work with Firefox. Now I could only install 11.7. It hasn't failed yet, but it probably will tomorrow.
If Flash Player 11.8 and 11.7 don't work, and 10.3 is unavailable, what can we do?

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Deactivate progressive download in Adobe Flash Player

Concerning progressive download in Adobe Flash Player, I have these questions:
1) Is it possible to deactivate or disable progressive download in Adobe Flash Player? For instance, if I want to watch a 30 minute video on a video site, and I have Adobe Flash Player installed, then by clicking on the video link, Adobe Flash Player will automatically begin to progressively download the file, thus enabling me to watch the video while it is being downloaded. At the end of the download, the entire 30 minute video file is stored in a temporary folder on my computer's hard disc. Supposing I don't want that file to be fully downloaded unto my harddisk, what options do I have to prevent Adobe Flash Player from progressively downloading the said file?
2) Since Adobe Flash Player utilizes progressive downloads, what happens to the downloaded file? Will it be automatically deleted when the browser is closed, or will it remain in the temporary folder?
3) Are there any settings which I can to configure either on the operating system or in the browser which will prevent or deactivate progressive download?
Thanks very much in advance for your reply.
Best regards
Jack

What are local storage settings?
Applications that run in Adobe Flash Player may want to store some information on your computer, but the amount they can store is limited to 100 kilobytes unless you agree to allocate additional space. Local storage settings let you specify how much disk space, if any, applications from a particular website can use to store information on your computer. Note that it is the person or company that has created the application you are using that is requesting such access, not Adobe (unless Adobe has created the application that wants to save the information). In the dialog box shown above, [website] represents the name of the person or company requesting access. It is the responsibility of the person or company requesting access to make it clear to you why they want access and how they plan to use the information they save. You should be aware of the privacy policy of anyone who is requesting access to your computer. For example, see Adobe's privacy policy. Contact the website requesting access for information on their privacy policy.
It's important to understand that even though this settings panel is part of Flash Player, the information will be used by an application created by a third party. Adobe assumes no responsibility for third-party privacy policies, actions of third-party companies in storing information on your computer, or such companies' use of such data or information.
What kind of data can an application that runs in Flash Player store on my computer?
The kind of information stored depends on the application. Information can be anything from your user name to your current score in an interactive game to a list of stocks in your portfolio. The application should make it clear what kind of information it wants to store.
Who has access to the information?
This information may be accessed by an application that is currently running in Flash Player or by another application that runs in Flash Player on the same website. Adobe does not have access to this information (unless Adobe has created the application that wants to save the information).
As discussed in What are local storage settings? above, it is the responsibility of the website requesting access to make it clear to you why they want access and how they plan to use the information. For example, will it be available only to you, or will it be posted in a public place? Who will have access to it in the future? Will it be deleted after a certain period of time? The privacy policy of anyone who is requesting access should address these sorts of issues.
I've already set privacy and disk space options in my browser. How do these settings interact with my Flash Player settings?
You may be aware that some websites work together with your browser to store small amounts of data, called cookies, on your computer for their own use in the future. For example, when you go to a website regularly, it may welcome you by name; your name is probably stored in a cookie, and you can use browser options to determine whether you want cookies or not. You may also have specified in your browser that pages you visit can take up only a certain amount of disk space.
When SWF or FLV content is being played, the settings you select for Flash Player are used in place of options you may have set in your browser. That is, even if you have specified in your browser settings that you do not want cookies placed on your computer, you may be asked if an application that runs in Flash Player can store information. This happens because the information stored by Flash Player is not the same as a cookie; it is used only by the application that runs in Flash Player, and has no relation to any other Internet privacy or security settings you may have set in your browser.
Similarly, the amount of disk space you let the application that runs in Flash Player use has no relation to the amount of disk space you have allotted for stored pages in your browser. That is, when SWF or FLV content is being played, the amount of disk space you allow here is in addition to any space your browser is using for stored pages.
No matter how you may have configured your browser, you still have the option to allow or deny an application that runs in Flash Player permission to store the information, and to specify how much disk space the stored information can occupy, as discussed in the rest of this document.
What are my local storage options?
If you don't want to let applications from this website save any information on your computer, and you don't want to be asked again, select Never. Note that applications from other websites may later ask to store information on your computer. If you don't want applications from any website that you haven't yet visited to store information on your computer, and you don't want to be asked again, use the Global Storage Settings panel.
If you want to let applications from this website save information on your computer, but you want to decide on a case-by-case basis for each application, move the slider to the far left (None). Each time an application from this website wants to save information on your computer, you will see a question asking for more disk space.
If you want to let applications from this website save as much information on your computer as they need to, move the slider to the far right (Unlimited).
If you want to let applications from this website save information on your computer, but want to limit the amount of disk space they can use, move the slider to select 10 KB, 100 KB, 1 MB, or 10 MB. If an application needs more space than you have allotted, you will see a question asking for more disk space while the application is running.
If an application from this website has already saved some information on your computer and you select a value that is lower than the amount of information already stored, Flash Player informs you that any information that has already been saved will be deleted.
If you don't want existing information to be deleted, click Cancel to return to the Local Storage Settings panel, and then select a higher value. Otherwise, click OK to delete the information and return to the application.
How can I change my local storage settings?
You may want to change your local storage settings if, for example, you want to allot more space for information from this website. To display the Local Storage Settings panel:
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the application image while it is running.
From the context menu, select Settings, and then click the Local Storage tab.
You can also change storage settings directly with your browser here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.htm l
