Why do I need to reinstall Adobe FlAsh EVERY TIME I restart my computer?

Windows 7 64bit dell XPS 420

A reasonable question, and one that it seems has been asked of Adobe. Check out the Adobe support forum, specifically:

Why do I have to reinstall add-ons every time I restart firefox?

Every time I restart Firefox, all my add-ons have disappeared and I have to reinstall them again. Any idea what I can do about that? Thanks!

There is software like Advanced SystemCare with its Surfing Protection feature that can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes.
If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.
It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.json, extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end of the Search bar to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also delete possible addons.json and addons.sqlite files.

Sick and tired of having to reinstall Adobe Flash Player everytime I restart my computer.

I'm running the Latest Flash player 11.2on Windows 7 64bit with IE 9 and McAfee antivirus and this problem has been going on for at least a year. I keep hoping that a new version of flash player will solve the problem but after a year I am just sick of problems with Flash. (I hate Steve Jobs but I'm beginning to share his view of Flash.) Every time I start my laptop I have to reinstall Flash to view any videos or flash content on the web. I always get a message that I need to update my flash player and I have already updated it a million times. After I update it works until I restart the machine. I searched for solutions on Google, Adobe Forum and tried all the different suggestions but the problem continues. I've tried using other Antivirus programs but the problem continues. It doesn't matter if I use the 32 bit or 64 bit IE. It's always the same problem. Why can't Adobe find a solution to this problem? People have been complaining about the problem since Flash Player 9. I've experienced the problem since Flash player 10. I'm wondering if Adobe is doing it intentionally just to increase the number of downloads for the Adobe Flash player and every time I have to deselect the stupid Google bar. Maybe Adobe is just trying to make more money off Google by forcing me to reinstall two or three times a day?

Sorry, I should have explained more. You do indeed want to use the 64 bit installer, it's just that this installer actually installs both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Flash Player. The 32 bit version of Flash Player is kept in the syswow64\macromed\flash folder and the 64 bit version is in system32\macromed\flash.
I'm a bit concerned that this might not help, given that you see the same behavior for both 32 and 64 bit versions of IE, but doing a clean install can't hurt and should hopefully fix the install log issue I see in the reports you sent me.
If you can, please generate another set of logs after doing the uninstall and folder/file deletions.

Need to reopen Adobe Reader every time I restart Safari

When I download a PDF in Safari, I get a dialogue box asking me which program I want to use to to read it. I then find my Adobe Reader program and select that, and things go just fine.
The next time I download a PDF *if I have not closed Safari*, thinks go just fine.
But, if I've exited Safari and later reopened it, I have to go through the same steps each time to read a PDF online in Safari. Open Adobe Reader.
On my other (actually older) Mac I don't have to do this every time. Safari "knows" to use Reader. How due I set that up here? Thank you.

From what you originally described, the problem is symptomatic of having removed the main Adobe application while still leaving the Adobe browser plugin in 'HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/'. Perhaps trashing the plugin from said folder and then reinstalling the software would rectify the issue.
Have you tried trashing Adobe Reader's preference list (.plist), located in '~/Library/Preferences/' or creating a test user account (System Preferences > Accounts > [+]) to investigate the problem further?

Re-install adobe flash player everytime i restart the computer

Hello,
i found a thread in the ADOBE forum where a user reported he had to reinstall adobe flash player everytime he restarts his computer. I am having the same problem, can you please walk me through a solution?
thanks

Hi,
I registered just so I could try to help with this problem. I LITERALLY was having the same exact problem for a long time. I finally found a solution. Here is what I did:
*If Using Firefox:
1. Start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding the Shift Button and double clicking the firefox browser icon. It should give you the options to "Start in Safe Mode" or "Reset Firefox". - Start in "Safe Mode".
2. Download the newest flash player from adobe's website.
3. Download the Adobe Flash UNISTALLER from Adobe as well.
4. Close the browser and run the Adobe Flash Player UNISTALLER.
5. Once complete, locate "C:\Windows\System32" folder on your C: drive.
6. Find the folder called "Macromed" and DELETE the entire folder.
7. RESTART YOUR COMPUTER.
8. Once computer starts back up, hold the SHIFT button and double on the Firefox icon to launch it. This time when presented with the option to start in "Safe Mode" or "Reset Firefox", click "RESET FIREFOX".
9. Once it completes, close the browser and RESTART YOUR COMPUTER AGAIN.
10. Once it starts back up, install the Adobe Flash Player. When that is finished. RESTART your computer one last time. ***This last time is to verify that after your computer is turned off and back on, the flash player will still work.****
11. When your computer starts back up, open the firefox browser NORMALLY and go to a site like youtube that uses flashes. If the videos play correctly and you dont receive a message about installing flash player,......CONGRATULATIONS!!! PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
12. ****OPTIONAL!!!**** - Go to firefox addons and check to make sure all of your plugins are up to date. You should see adobe flash player in the list as up to date. If so, restart your computer one last time, start the browser agin and check your plugins once more. If they are still up to date, you're problem is officially solved.
If this solved your problem, please let people know. Look at the date I posted this reply. Its still been happening long after you first started this forum.

Should i upgrade Adobe flash every time?

i just want to ask Adobe flash every time upgradation is necessary，i feel troublesome for this. can i upgrade to the highest version one time? not every time upgradation.

Every version has its own new features - so just see if those new features are what you need.
If you don't need the new features and you work alone, there is no need to upgrade Flash every time.
My personal recommendation is that if you are a pure animator with no need of ActionScript besides basic movie control, and is cofortable without the
features in CS4 (Inverse Kinematics, bone, 3D transformation, etc), Flash 8 performs best since it is faster. It also accepts more import/export formats than any other version of Flash, so that version is good for graphic designers and artists.
If you have to work with ActionScript 3.0, Flash CS5 seems best with its built-in TLF support (so that you can create TLF text within the GUI). Of course, if you target for multiple devices, the upcomng CS5.5 would be ideal.
And finally, if you have to work with people with higher version of the software as you, you don't want to lag behind since Flash only saves to the format of one previous version (i.e. CS5 writes only to CS5 and CS4 formats, not CS3 or before). In that case and if you work with multiple people, you'll want to synchronize the versions of Flash. Users of Flash version differences higher than 1 will not be able to work with each other.

Why Do I have to load adobe Flashplayer each time I switch my computer off and on again this only started about 2 weeks ago is it a firefox problem or an adobe issue????

Why Do I have to load adobe Flashplayer each time I switch my computer off and on again this only started about 2 weeks ago is it a firefox problem or an adobe issue. I am using adobe Flashplayer ver 11

This is a good question. It's possible your Xserver isn't configured for the correct mouse type. Try logging into a command line console (no X11 running). Run /usr/bin/X11/X -configure. It should create an Xorg configuration file in your root directory.
Copy this to /etc/X11/Xorg.conf and try restarting your Xserver. The file it creates might require some tweaking.

Every time need to reinstall Adobe Flash Player

Hi All,
When I start my laptop and goe to any website, it is asking me to install flash player. Many times I have uninstalled and reinstalled it but every time it is asking me to install adobe flash player. I am using internet explorer as browser and windows 7 operating system. As per one post I have completed the below activity. Still I am not successful.
We're working on addressing these issues with our installers, but in the meantime these issues can be fixed using the following steps:
1. Install Flash Player
2. Download the SubInACL Installer from Microsoft
3. Install SubInACL and note the install location
4. Download the attached "reset_fp11.bat.zip" file and extract it to the SubInACL folder from the previous step. At this point, subinacl.exe and reset_fp11.bat will be in the same folder. Please note that you might not see the file extensions unless you've made them visible.
5. If you are on Vista or Windows 7, right click "reset_fp11.bat" and select "Run as Administrator". If you are on XP, please make sure you are using an Administrator level account before double clicking.
6. You'll see a window appear and text go by, this should only take a few seconds to complete.
7. If you were unable to install Flash Player in step 1, do so now.
8. Restart your computer and verify that Flash is working correctly.

Some malicious site try to get you to install malware by saying yo have to update Flash.
Only update Flash via Adobe's site.
What version of Flash is currently installed?
In System Preferences they may be an entry for Flash in Lion. I do not remember. There is for Yosemite

Reinstall Adobe Flash every 2 days?

Hi,
I am having a problem with my computer. I brought this up before but the problem is back.
The problem is that when I go online to say watch something on youtube it will play the clip for 2 seconds and pause. The file itself will continue to download it just wont play past the 2 second mark. So I go and download adobe flash player. I install and BAM it works...
But that is not the end of the story. Now it seems that I have to keep reinstalling the Adobe Flash player every day or 2. What is going on?

You can check for issues caused by plugins and set all plugins to "Ask to Activate" on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins" page (plugins are not affected by Firefox Safe Mode)
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*check for updates for your graphics drive drivers<br>https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Why do I have to reload Flashplayer 11 every time I restart Firefox?

I am running Firefox 10.0.2 I have flashplayer11-2_p6_install_win_pi32_022712 dot exe installed and can watch all videos that I encounter. BUT, every time I shut down Firefox, flashplayer is dumped and has to be reloaded the next time I start up! Symptoms are a black screen where the video should be on a web page. I understand that there is a possibility of a conflict with real player. I have tried to remove the real player plug ins but they come back every time I start firefox. I am stumped! Any suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks Cor-el, I have tried your suggestion of deleting the pluginreg.dat without affecting the problem.
In the Plugins tab I see Shockwave Flash 11.2.202.221. But it does not work. If I wish to use any Flash site including You Tube and many others then, before starting Firefox, I have to install Flash. If I start Firefox and then visit a Flash site I have to shut down Firefox and reload Flash before restarting Firefox. This is true on every occasion after the computer has been shut down.
Notes: I CAN watch a very few you tube videos in Firefox. Internet Explorer also shows a similar fault telling me to load the latest version of Flash Player. Apple Safari allows viewing of most youTube videos. Google Chrome allows viewing of all youTube videos!
Any other thoughts would be gratefully received!

HT204085 why do I have to re-type the password for each item, like contacts, messages etc. every time I restart the computer?

Every time I start up the computer I get a pop up to type in my keychain password for each item. One for contacts and again for messages etc. Why do I have to do this every time at startup?

I have to re-install Adobe Flash every time I turn on my computer

Hi everyone,
I'm very new here so please be gentle. I have the above problem and have Googled it only to find very very many varied ways of solving this. Each one advising doing various technical things which have confused me.
I am running IE11 and Windows 7 Home Peremium 32bit.
Any advice of a non-confusing nature will be gratefully received.
Thank you
Graham

There are two versions of the Flash Player plugin. One is ActiveX and only works in IE. It sounds like you have that one installed. The other one works in all other browsers.
What seems to be happening is that you have security software that's blocking one of those versions of Flash/restoring your computer state and so it gets uninstalled when you start your computer. The other possibility is that there are permission issues. Unfortunately, this isn't something that Firefox can control; it's a problem with the Flash installation (Firefox is dumb and just looks in the registry for a list of installed plugins to load).
Make sure that you're an admin on your computer when you try to install Flash and that you check your security settings. If that doesn't work, try posting to the [http://forums.adobe.com/community/flashplayer Adobe community forums] to see if other people have had similar issues and know how to address them.

Every time I restart my computer, the spotify app disappears and I have to reinstall it.

I just reformatted my MacBook Pro and I've re-downloaded and re-installed Spotify every day since because a reboot makes the app disappear from my dock and from the apps list. I cannot find any trace on my computer. It is very odd. Any thoughts?
Thanks

I reinstalled again and I tried to drag the Spotify icon from my dock into applications. That didn't work. (I know I'm probably telling you what you already know, but I wanted to share for other less advanced users like myself).
I searched in Finder and could not find Spotify.
I quit Spotify without rebooting and it disappeared from my dock. I was worried.
I then went to finder, chose Go and Computer, then I searched spotify on my hard drive, and Spotify was there. When I looked at its path, it appeared to be in Apps, but it wasn't appearing in the Apps folder. So, I dragged the Spotify icon from my search results into Apps, and now, my problem is solved.
I'm not sure what was going on, but I'm happy to have it fixed, and I appreciate your help.
Y Mende, que tenga una buena fin de semana. Me encanta Toledo.
