Why won't Flash work properly?

Fed up of all this and just about ready to throw PC out of the window.
Flash player won't load anything properly but says it is installed- I go to the About page and the video is jerky although the sound is amazing. On the BBC News website, anything with a video embedded in the page brings up an error (Something on this page is causing Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly. If it continues, your computer may become slow blah blah blah). WHY?????
Computer is a home built with an NVidia graphics card, AMD processor, Speedlink audio card, running XP Pro SP3- it only has 750Mb of RAM or similar but Windoze loads very fast and smooth. I have the same problems on IE8, Firefox 3.whatever and Google Chrome. I've given up trying new browsers.
I had to have Windows reinstalled recently as I tried to update the graphics card driver and got a permanent BSOD.
I have gone to the pages recommended to check if I have Flash player, Quicktime, Shockwave and the rest- and they say its working and Java is okay too. What next???????????????????????

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preferences > Other/ Flash Player > Advanced >  Delete  All
     Press the "Delete All" button
     Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Follow the prompts.
    Quit Safari.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2.  Enable Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins >  "Allow  plug-ins"
    Enable it.
    Press " Manage Website Settings" button for more options.

  • Which version of Adobe Flash works properly with Mac operating systems?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no0Fn_gIoCo
    On Xat Flash Chatrooms it freezes. I thought Adobe Flash Beta 12 would fix my problem of the chats animations and chat freezing but it only temporarily fixed it because when I rebooted my Mac it still freezes the animation and chat! The latest versions of Adobe Flash non-beta Adobe Flash 11 something freezes too! Which specific Version of ADOBE Flash works properly on Mac OSX? NONE?
    I'm on Safari Browser and Mavericks 10.9 OSX.
    Specs:
    Haswell 3.4ghz
    graphics card: gtx 760
    4 gigs of ddr3 ram
    Macbook 2009: My other mac that does it too
    Intel duo 2 core 2.13ghz
    4gigs ddr2 ram
    I believe my macbook is running Nvidia 9400m 250mb card
    So each Mac that has had this problem is running Nvidia tho I don't know if thats the problem and I doubt it is. I'm sure it's a bug in Adobe Flash and Apple not caring enough to address the problems with Adobe Flash not working properly. If the two companies can't get a long, then why doesn't apple spend a little bit of money making their own compatible Flash for their safari browser?
    My friend who is a girl that I talked to on Xat said that she has a Macbook I think from 2010 or 2011 running Mavericks and her Macbook does not freeze. Is there an explanation to why my Macbook 2009 freezes in Adobe Flash and if there's a solution to it? Is her Macbook running ati card maybe?
    This is becoming very frustrating, so I need a solution. It does this on my Macbook and my Desktop Mac both which have Nvidia gpus.

    The latest Flash 11 works fine for me on Mavericks, on every site that plays videos.
    I have no idea what Xat Flash Chatrooms is (and really have no interest), but it sounds like the issue is with that site, as Flash in general works for literally tens of millions of people on most other sites.

  • Why won't FLASH install on my 64 bit H.P.& y is it linked w /google chrome?!!! TRASH!

    How come i cant get this flash to STAY in my system>? i have a 64 bit system and it always says i "need plug in", plus it is linked to a google entire suiete of bull CRAP,when all i want to do is have my flash working properly.i unchecked the google down load since i already have it! AND..I HATE IT b.t.w.!!!! Still for some reason it will not take hence 1/4 of my online experiences suck because most places use this MESSED up FLASH program to run!! I never had this prob before! Im pissed and tired of messing w it! It is TRash THAT THEY USE THE "FLASH" UP DATER " TO link it w some trash google chrome! Very unprofessional! Since i have used your prod since win 95, and NEVER had these issues! I have LEARNED THAT I CAN NO LONGER COUNT ON ADOBE (*) TO MANAGE./RUN on my computer!!! As a result, i cant do much of any thing! even if i d.l. it every day--it simply will not "TURN ON!"---LIMITING THE VALUE/RESOURCES, MY COMPUTER CAN DO!! THIS IS A NEW H.P...I HAVE CHROME ALREADY..I HAVE EVEN UN INSTALLED CHROME AND RELOADED IT USING THE "FLASH " UP-DATER, EVEN THAT (!!!) WON'T WORK!!!!
        i am/ & always have been used to "ADOBE" TO BE A STAND ALONE PRODUCT & B4 THEY LINKED IT w/google Chrome, it has not worked since!!! it has been a year since i could stream any thing and my machine is tip top! You ppl let us down by linking it w/google! I used to use Adobe for security and resources, but now i hate to see the name, and IT IS THE REASON THAT MY MACHINE WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY!!!SKYPE & MANY OTHER PLACE/PROGRAMS NEED IT TO WORK!!!!! HELP!!!!!!

    Dude, you need to calm down and take a break.  I am not a code writer nor a website designer, but this worked very easily for me.  I am a PC-er not a MAC user.  I have a Toshiba 64 bit machine using windows 7 and IE 9.  I know enough to really screw things up.  Here is the finished poduct   http://www.performancekaraoke.net/valvecoverracing.html
    It worked for me with no problem.  There is nothing to actually download provided you have the free version of adobe flash on your machine to begin with.

  • Can't update ADOBE after many attempts. Why won't it work?

    Keep getting messages saying I must update ADOBE. Keep following directions for update. Then I'm disallowed access to anything that requires ADOBE update and a red typed message appears again saying I need to update ADOBE. Why won't this work ? I am a senior citizen and am not a computer savvy user. Need help with this ongoing problem.

    Hello fiddle4dee, probably you mean adobe flash player, the latest flash version for your Intel Mac OS X 10.6 today is the 16.0.0.296. If you have a previous version then uninstall it with the :
    * http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    after that you can install the latest from the next link :
    * http://www.adobe.com/special/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    find Operating System, Mac OS X (Intel) > All supported browsers > All supported languages > '''Download DMG Installer'''
    thank you

  • Why won't YouTube work on any of my computers?

    why won't YouTube work on any of my computers?

    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • Why iMessage is not working properly anymore since i've uploaded the new iOS 6 ??

    Why iMessage is not working properly anymore since i've uploaded the new iOS 6 ??

    I'm having the same problem. I have a 4th gen 32GB iPod Touch, and since upgrading to iOS6, iMessage has been nothing but buggy. It will work for an hour or so, and then randomly stop working as it won't send or receive messages. There's nothing wrong with my wifi, because that's the same as it was before. I really hope someone knows something to fox this problem. Some people use iMessage for good reasons - it needs to be a reliable messaging service like it was in iOS5.

  • ITunes says my computer isn't authorized to play one song, but all the rest of them work. The song works on my iPad so why won't it work on my computer or my iPod?

    iTunes says my computer isn't authorized to play one of the songs I just downloaded, but all the rest of them work. That song works on my iPad so why won't it work on my computer or my iPod? It says my computer isn't authorized to play that song so I type in my password and it pops up with a menu saying my computer is already authorized and it skips to the next song. No matter what I do it won't play that song on my laptop or my iPod.

    Could be a Corrupt download of that song...
    If you live in a Region that allows re-downloading Music...
    Delete the Song(s) and re-download...

  • Functions in a For Loop defining objects from an Array. . .Why Won't This Work?!

    I'm trying to put these functions into a Loop to conserve
    space. Why won't this work?
    .

    Yeah, sly one is right. You can not have the "i" inside the
    onRollOver function, what you have to do is: As the movieClip class
    is dynamic you can create a property of the movieClip which stores
    the value if the "i". And then, inside the onRollOver function, you
    have to make reference to that property.
    for (i=0; i<2; i++) {
    this.regArray
    .iterator = i;
    this.regArray.onRollOver = function () {
    showRegion(regArray[this.iterator]);
    this.regArray
    .onRollOut = function () {
    hideRegion(regArray[this.iterator]);

  • FM Transmitter used to work fine but stopped working, bought 2 new ones and neither work, they work with other Ipods in the house, IPOD Usb syncs fine with Computer, why won't it work with the FM transmitters anymore?

    FM Transmitter used to work fine but stopped working, bought 2 new ones and neither work, they work with other Ipods in the house, IPOD Usb syncs fine with Computer, why won't it work with the FM transmitters anymore?

    Are the other iPods models, same version as yours. The 2 New FM Tx may need a new iPod software, which you can update via iTunes.
    Good Luck!

  • I just downloaded Acrobat and it won't work. Why won't it work? I keep having it quit unexpectedly when I try to launch it.

    I just downloaded Acrobat and it won't work. Why won't it work? I keep having it quit unexpectedly when I try to launch it. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I've tried restarting my computer.  Any suggestions? I fit all they system requirements.

    Hi again CueBallMcDraw,
    What operating system are you on? If your issue isn't related to your subscription being in a pending state (as I discussed in your other post), we'll look closer at what's going on with your system. But, I suspect you're going to be fine once your order finishes processing.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • Why doesn't flash work during panorama pictures

         why doesn't flash work during panorama pictures

    HI..
    Try troubleshooting the Flash plugin ..
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Very important to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin before reinstalling.
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
