Why do programs say flash player not installed when it is?

I have installed the lastest flash player version and it shows as being an installed program. Yet, programs that require flash player say that it is not available. Why? How do I fix that problem?

  • Ff says flash player not installed but Ihave flash player on computer

    I have flash player on the computer it runs on IE ok but not on FF

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
    *an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
    *a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
    *On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
    You may not have the Firefox Flash Plug-in installed. If you d0, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
    Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
    *only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
    *page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
    '''<u>Install or update Adobe Flash</u>'''<br />
    #'''<u>Using Firefox</u>''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
    #*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
    #When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
    #Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
    #*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
    #*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
    #*The installation is quick.
    #Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    #To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''<u>but use IE to go to the above website</u>'''.

  • Flash Player Not Installing Properly?

    Hello, I am having trouble with Flash. I use Firefox (latest version), and was notified this morning that I needed to update my Flash version/plugin/whatever. I go to update, and it installed just fine (i.e. the install did not give me any error messages). However, I check the version on Adobe's site and the Firefox plugin checker, and it still not only says that I still need to update, but the Adobe website still says I have an old version.
    I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the whole Flash program, restarting my computer, and restarting my browser, but they still say that I need to update.
    So what is wrong/going on? Adobe's website is saying that Flash is running, and all websites (YouTube, various Flash-based games and items on art sites, Flash-based games, etc) that I suppose would run on Flash are running just fine, so why is Firefox saying I still need to update? Why is the Adobe site saying that I still have an old version?
    Here are some screenshots, if it helps explain my problem better:

    http://oi50.tinypic.com/wtvgub.jpg (The scrolling text says "Flash Player is running on your computer)

    EDIT: Also further information, this all started at about 8:30 AM on the East Coast. Also, I did try going to Adobe themselves for help, but the chat support was no help; they told me to use the phone support, which, OF COURSE, costs money that I do not have. Ha.

    It has been talked about in these forums since the iPhone came out in the USA, no Flash support.

  • Flash Player not installing correctly

    I tried to install a new copy of Quickbooks today and tells
    me it needs Flash Player installed. I had flash Player previously
    installed but now appear to be no good. I have tried to uninstall
    it and reinstall with no luck. I am running Vista Home Premium on a
    new machine with 4 GB memory. I have the full version of Flash CS3
    installed.
    When I try to uninstall Flash Player, if going under Control
    Panels to Programs and Features the icon shown for Flash Player has
    an X in the upper right corner of it.
    I have had nothing but problems with Vista and CS3 trying to
    install and uninstall program and have had it.

    Download the uninstaller for Flash Player from "How to
    uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control"
    http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
    Quit ALL running applications, including all Internet
    Explorer or other browser windows, AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo
    Messenger, MSN Messenger, or other Messengers. Check the Windows
    system tray carefully to make certain no applications which might
    possibly use Flash Player are still in memory.
    Install the new Flash Player from here:
    www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
    Check to see if Flash Player is installed:

  • Trying to access website but it says Adobe Flash Player not installed

    www.caesars.com/thelinq  live webcam
    I have Windows 7, 64 bit with IE 1,0 32 bit.  Flash Player 11.9.900.170.
    Have been through the troubleshooting list several times but can't get this website to access Flash Player. FP seems to work everywhere else.   Any help would be appreciated!

    Apple has built-in malware protection in OS X. This malware protection was just updated by Apple to exclude all earlier versions of Adobe Flashplayer. The current version is 12.0.0.44.
    You should not be downloading Adobe Flash Player from anywhere but Adobe's official download site.
    Once you download it, it will go into your logindir/Downloads folder. Quit all browsers, and System Preferences (if it is open). Next to your Trash icon in the Dock is an alias to your Downloads folder. Click once, and the bottom item will be the just downloaded Flash Player installer. Single-click this installer. The Adobe Flash Player Installer will mount to your Desktop and open a window. Double-click on Install Adobe Flash Player. When done, right-click on the mounted Adobe Flash Player Installer Desktop icon and select Eject...
    In the future, use the Flash Player preference from System Preferences to update itself. Once the installer mounts on the Desktop, close System Preferences, or Flash preference panel will not get updated correctly.

  • Why would 32-bit Flash Player be installed on a new 64-bit computer?

    Hi,
    I've a 5-day old Windows 8.1 computer using Internet Explorer 11.
    The Control Panel has an entry that reads, "Flash Player (32 Bit)".
    When I click on it and go to "Advanced", the update options are all greyed-out - though next to the CHECK NOW box it says, "Plug in version - not installed"
    By searching the hard drive, I've discovered that the Flash Player version is 12.0.0.38 - is this OK for a 64-bit machine?
    Also, should I install the missing plug in? (and where would I find it!)
    Can I "un-grey" the update options?
    Any help or advise would be appreciated!
    John Latter

    Thanks, Mike
    When I tried to run the first one it encountered errors saying IE11 already contained the latest version of Flash Player built-in.
    It then went on to say that Windows Update will inform me when new versions of the Flash Player are available - I guess this is why the options were greyed-out as described above!
    I do appreciate your help on this, but could I ask one further question, please?
    Before receiving your first reply, I tried to sort the problem out myself. I went to one of the sys folders and clicked on a Flash exe file there - then I bottled out and cancelled it when I was asked, "Are you sure you want to allow this program to change your computer settings?" (or something similar).
    This resulted in a critical event that said Flash Player had stopped working and has affected my "reliability index".
    I'm hoping Windows will catch up with itself and realize everything is OK - or have I done any lasting damage? (and if so, how do I rectify it!)

  • Flash Player not installing for IE8

    I'm trying to install Flash Player into my IE8, but when I go to "Get Adobe Flash Player", it brings up a page saying "Sorry Adobe® Flash® Player is not available from Adobe.com for your device's operating system or browser." I checked the 'supported operating systems and browsers' list, and found my OS (Windows XP) and my browser (Internet Explorer 6.0 and above) in the list. I also have it installed on Firefox, so I'm wondering why it won't install into IE8? Thanks in advance!

    Hi, What Service Pack do you have Installed on the XP? FF uses plugins. Flash Player Installs an ActiveX Control into the IE browsers.
    Thanks,

  • Flash player not installing on Firefox or Internet explorer...

    I downloaded firefox as my alternate web browser. I play games and things of the like on my laptop, which is a Toshiba Satellite C655 (I'm pretty sure it is ). My flash player works on Google Chrome, but not on Internet Explorer or FireFox. Any help? I've downloaded it (or so it says) 4 times since Sunday night, but everytime I go to play the game, the game says I need to install adobe flashplayer. And this is multiple games so it isn't the game.

    Yes, I have downloaded and installed it. My windows version is Windows 7, I don't know what you mean by edition hmm, do you think it's the ActiveX thing people have been having trouble with? It is in those two folders. these are what are in the folder:
           C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
              Flash64_11_2_202_233.ocx
              FlashInstall
              FlashUtil64_11_2_202_233_ActiveX.dll
              FlashUtil64_11_2_202_233_ActiveX
              FlashUtil64_11_2_202_233_Plugin
              NPSWF64_11_2_202_233.dll
        C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash
              FlashInstall
              Flash32_11_2_202_233.ocx
              flashplayer.xpt
              FlashPlayerUpdateService   
              FlashUtil32_11_2_202_233_ActiveX.dll
              FlashUtil32_11_2_202_233_ActiveX
              FlashUtil32_11_2_202_233_Plugin
              mms.cfg
              NPSWF32_11_2_202_233.dll
              FlashPlayerTrust(folder):
                   Bandoo.cfg
    If that makes any sense to you, and I hope I did it right, then can you tell me what the problem is?

  • Flash player not installing/uninstalling

    First off I'd like to critize whoever moderates this forum. It is a disgrace that one's post should be removed without even giving a reason.
    Now if you can POLITELY reply to my inquiry I'd be much obliged!
    As the topic says I cannot uninstall or install flash. The program stalls basically. Is there anyway I can do this without using DLM or install?
    Regards
    Mr

    Hi, Are you speaking of this thread that you created? http://forums.adobe.com/message/3586816#3586816
    That one is there, but I didn't see any others that you created.
    To answer your question, yes you can Manually Uninstall/Install Flash Player. But I'll need to give you some info and I need some in return.
    What is your Operating System, 32bit or 64bit? Also what browser(s) and versions do you have Installed?
    Also what Anti-Virus program do you have Installed, since many will block the ActiveX Control in case you use IE.
