Why is Yahoo Stattracker telling me to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player on my Win8 PC?

I am trying to launch Yahoo's Stattracker for fantasy football (which loaded last weekend), but I'm getting back an error telling me to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player to the latest version. I go to Adobe's site and try to download the latest version, but Adobe says it's part of IE on Win8, and that I don't need to upgrade it.  But trying to cover all the bases, I follow the 3 steps manually, but to no avail.  WTF?

Windows Update automatically updates daily.  Checking it, it tells me there are no essential updates to download.  So I checked for optional updates, and Adobe Flash Player is not one of them.  Adobe site tells me my Flash Player is fine. There must be something wrong with your Stattracker app. I have only been able to load Stattracker 1 of the 3 weeks so far.
Stattracker is Yahoo, Adobe doesn't run it.

    You need to upgrade to Snow Leopard, but don't need to go past 10.6.8 to run the current version of Flash.

    Try deleting Flash cookies.

    If that doesn't help, UNinstall the old Flash plugin first, then reinstall new.

  • Youtube videos do not play in Firefox. I have this error: "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video," even after I have followed the link.

    This error message appears when trying to view Youtube videos: "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video," even though I have already installed the suggested piece of software.

    You have 2 versions of "Shockwave Flash" (Adobe Flash Player) installed; one very old version (7.0 r19) and the current version (10.0 r45). You can see both "Shockwave Flash" plugins by going to Tools > Add-ons > Plugins. You can disable the old version 7 there.
    <u>'''To disable the old version'''</u>:
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+plugins+with+Firefox#Managing_plugins
    <u>'''Remove the old plugin'''</u>
    1. If the old version 7 is showing as "Adobe Flash Player 7 Plugin" in your Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, you can remove it from there; click on it, click Remove. See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Uninstall-or-change-a-program
    2. If the old version 7 is not shown in Add or Remove programs, see: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins#Manually_uninstalling_a_plugin . Some of the old plugins are in the Plugins folder of your programs Firefox install folder and can be renamed or removed from there manually.

  • You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.

    HI, I downloaded the new flash player and I still get the above message when watching youtube. It popped up after watching one video then clicking another.
    PLease help
    Shane

    I have the exact same problem and I am going in circles trying to install and use Flash Player. But nothing seems to work. Now I cannot watch ANY videos on Youtube, I cannot use Google Maps (Street View), Pandora Radio is kaput, and so.
    I used to get the same notice: 
    You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. 
    But now I don't even get that. Just a black box and nothing else. This is ridiculous.

  • Fire fox is not upgrading to Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32 (2.70 MB)

    All the web sites I use want Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32 I downloaded from Adobe and installed it. it did not install in Firefox. I was told to clear cache private data and cookie did it and it still is not installing in Firefox. I have to use IE to visit the sites that upgraded to Adobe Flash Player 10.2.152.32, '''I don't like IE'''

    Hi oarun,
    Yes.  There are 2 things, maybe 3 you should try.
    Go to Flash download site and DO NOT download 10.2.152.32.  Instead look the site for the hotlink that says "for other browsers" and download it. You should see 10.2.152.33 for Safari and other browsers.  Download this one.  (I don't think you have to uninstall the 10.2.152.32 Flash version but you might have to in case your browser gets confused)
    Now, try your Firefox browser and see if the videos work.
    If the videos work in Firefox, you should be good to go. 
    Remember, IE8 and the Flash Update for Windows is where the problem is at from my perspective.
    My computer runs Win XP Pro Service Pack 3 and Internet Explorer 8 (IE8).  I have been running Windows since 1995 with all the updates.  You don't have to be on an Apple Operating System to load the Apple Safari browser.  I personally like Safari much better than IE8 but I am running both IE8 and Safari on my computer as we communicate.
    Let me know if this works for you.  I inserted a screen shot of the Flash download page showing where to download the Flash update for Safari and other browsers but not IE8 below:
    newsguy64
    Message was edited by: newsguy64 I forgot to tell you.  If Firefox does not work, then go to Apple's website and download their Safari browser.  I know it works on XP!!!  I wish you success.!
    Message was edited by: newsguy64 Good grief, I goofed.  You are using Chrome, not Firefox.  Regardless, the "other browser Flash download is still the ticket, maybe.
    Message was edited by: newsguy64  OARJUN, I JUST TESTED CHROME AND IT WORKS GREAT WITH THE DOWNLOAD FROM FLASH I SUGGESTED TO YOU ABOVE. 

  • I want to upgrade my Adobe Flash player and its asking for a password.

    I want to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player but its asking for a password and I cannot remember setting one when I first downloaded Adobe Flash. What to do?

    Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
    Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
    When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
    In Terminal, type:
    resetpassword
    ...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Can't Play Video "need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player"

    Ever since upgrading to FF 26 I can't play video on YouTube or many other sites.
    It says "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video.
    Download it from Adobe."
    So I click on the link which takes me to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, do the install which goes without trouble.
    But afterwards I get the same message when I try to play videos.
    Running Windows 7 on a Desktop PC. Having NO problems playing videos in IE or Chrome. FF used to be great but it's becoming more trouble than it's worth.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    You can try uninstalling it completely via the control panel and then installing it back on to the computer. You can also do a plugin check if you'd like.
    Please check if all your plugins are up-to-date. To do this, go to the [http://mozilla.com/plugincheck Mozilla Plugin Check site].
    Once you're there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
    If you see plugins in the list that have a yellow ''Update'' button or a red ''Update now'' button, please update these immediately.
    To do so, please click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps mentioned in the installation procedure.

  • Adobe flash player. I keep being asked to upgrade my adobe flash player which I pad doesnot allow. Is there something else I should do

    I am very new to iPad and not technical. On some sites they say to upgrade my adobe flash player which is not allowed on the iPad. What can I do to be able to view these items on the web?

    Flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have never managed to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, and they have recently announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon '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.

  • Why do I keep getting 'Action ScriptError' messages from Adobe Flash Player?

    Whenever I play games on Facebook, mostly from the Zynga stable, a message pops up like this:
    Each time, the message shows a different error code (I think). Does anyone know why this should happen, and is there any way I can stop them without
    getting rid of Adobe Flash Player? ( apparently, the games won't play without it) and is it something I can just ignore altogether?

    Open System Preferences then select Flash Player under Other.
    Select the Advanced tab.
    Under Browsing Data and Settings click Delete All
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Why do I get a "script error" message from Adobe flash player?  It is installed as a part of my browser.IE 11

    Why do I get a "script error"  from flash player when it is not installed separately?  It is part of my browser--IE 11

    Same error message, I disabled tab mix and made sure I only have the newest version of Java, restarted firefox, now it seems to be fine no error yet on Pogo games or pictures upload to ebay which were the biggest problems besides hanging. I had also had disabled AVG secure search yesterday but that did not solve the issue. Now I will try to add back in AVG search...I have very few adds ons, also the note embedded about re- installing a toolbar went away, my old one did not work with FF4, so I installed Yahoo toolbar but the message still did not go away until I applied this fix. Hopes this helps someone..

  • You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. Download it from Adobe.

    I have upgraded Flash to 10. and rebooted uninstalled fox, reinstalled and still get the same old thing. getting a little upset
    ''[Personal information removed by moderator. Please read [[Forum and chat rules and guidelines]], thanks.]''

    This is an old thread, if you have a problem start your own thread and include as much info as possible. If you are still there ccsebball you certainly will have needed to up update FlashPlayer again. Including email addreses is not wise, the support forum tries to answer questions within the forum, and posting email addresses is only likely to attract spam.
    What version of Flash Player is installed now ? <br/>check out this webpage it will test flashplayer for you:
