Why won't shockwave flash run on anything?

I recently got a Lenovo Yoga 2 (not the pro 2), and shockwave flash is not working on ANYTHING. I'm running windows 8.1 and use the latest version of chrome for my browser. I know that chrome has a built in plugin for flash (pepper flash) and I know the common problem is having two flashes enabled. I disabled chrome's version of flash and downloaded another flash player to use (macroflash) to use instead, just like every single website recommends. Well, that worked for about two weeks and then stopped working again the other day. I uninstalled and reinstalled chrome, and then I downloaded firefox, but I had the same issue on firefox as well! Which I thought was pretty weird. So, I checked out what my computer has installed: flash player and shockwave. I tried uninstalling flash player and using shockwave. I tried uninstalling shockwave and using flash player (all the while keeping chrome's version of flash disabled). I checked to see if my extensions were the problem, and they weren't. So, then I tried to play a movie on VLC and it wouldn't work either. At this point I'm convinced that something on my laptop is messing with flash, but it's brand new, so there isn't anything on it yet. I checked my firewall settings, and that wasn't a problem either. I don't know understand what went wrong at this point. My plugins are: chrome remote desktop viewer, widevine content decryption module, adobe flash player (shockwave flash 16), chrome pdf viewer, intel identity protection technology, native client, microsoft office (sharepoint and lync), google update, java (2 files), nitro pdf plugin for firefox and chrome, vlc web plugin, and microsoft silverlight. If any of those stick out as weird, let me know! I googled them all, and nothing came up as a problem.

It doesn't run on any iOS powered device.
You can try Skyfire in the app store if you just want to look at videos.

If you have hours to kill, type Flash into the Search box over on the upper right.

Why won't Photoshop CC run on my laptop I just installed it today

Why won't Photoshop CC run on my laptop I just installed it today. I signed out on my desktop but the laptop still will not run Photoshop CC. It starts but then closes itself down immediately after starting.

Well it is the same Win7 that is running on my desktop and yes I have an internet connection and at that time is was hard wired not wireless. I just downloaded and installed the Photoshop and Bridge Apps. The laptop is about 2 yrs old and it is a high end machine and Photoshop6 runs on it just fine. I sure wish someone from Adobe would answer this question as it is beyond frustrating to me that this stuff works so poorly and you can never get a good answer out of them about anything ever.

Why won't photoshop cc run portraiture 2

Yes, you aren't giving us enough information to help you.
What version of Photoshop?
What OS version?
Why is portraiture2 not working?
Have you contacted the makers of that plugin?

Why won't Elements 5 run?

Why won't Elements 5 run on my Win 7 Pro machine? When this custom machine was first set up, all the programs running on my prior Dell Win XP machine were installed on this machine, including Elements 5.
Recently, my hard drive crashed and the mfg couldn't install most of the programs I had, including Elements 5. I still had the original disk and installed the program. It went through the installation and put a shortcut on my desktop. Unfortunately, when I clicked on the short cut, nothing happened. I went to the location of the the executable file and clicked on it. Same thing.
I went to my tech support company and they helped me uninstall the program and we "repaired" the program but it still wouldn't run. We reinstalled from the CD and it still wouldn't run.
Is there anyway, I can get my program to run? If it comes down to having to purchase a new program, I'll just use the Windows photo program. I think whatever is going on is lousy!

Did you try right clicking and run as administrator?
You could also try setting up a new user account an see if it will run from there.

Why is adobe shockwave Flash being such a pain?

http://oi40.tinypic.com/2u5f4hf.jpg
It keeps doing this every time I use FF and it's going to make me stop completely if someone doesn't fix it.
I have been in the middle of doing work and it will do this, and I lose my work.
Google chrome is working better. And the only thing wrong is this Adobe Shockwave.
<sub> Edited title to add "Flash" since, based on the linked image, this question is about the Shockwave '''Flash''' plugin. aw </sub>

jscher2000 - Thanks for trying. I was surprised to hear you can manipulate Adobe Flash settings via Windows Security. I'm stuck using Vista which might explain why I didn't recognize the path you offered - "Windows Control Manager, System and Security category" as I'd never heard of "Windows Control Manager"
If I go to Control Panel> System> Security Center, there is nothing for Adobe. I'd love to see all of the Adobe crap put on one page instead of strewn over that 8 popup proprietary Settings Manager the Adobe idiots designed.
Coincidentally (or perhaps not?), Adobe released an update of some sort shortly after my last slam at them was posted here. That didn't fix their motorbike demo,

Why won't JavaFX programs run?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and firefox. If I go to http://javafx.com/samples/ and try to launch one of the samples I get redirected to a page that says I need a newer version of java.
If I run java -version from the command line I get:
java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode)
This is the same version as the one the web page wants me to download. Why won't these demos launch?
thanks,
William

Generally, there are some additional steps to configure the sun java plugin for firefox browsers on Unix systems
http://java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml. Scroll down to the firefox section to get a sense of how to do it.
A quick and fast solution (without configuration) to see the demos is to click on the launch button above each demo sample and then open it with javaws (from the bin directory of your java installation). Hope this helps!

Why does not Shockwave Flash update?

I'm running on Windows Vista business with service pack 2. Firefox's (13.0.1) plug-in list said to upgrade Shockwave Flash. I did it but even if I restart computer, the plug-in still needs to be updated. Could someone help me? Thank you very much.

Which version of Flash do you have?

You can find the latest Flash player for Firefox on this page.

Why does my Shockwave Flash Player stop working on Firefox 27

Windows 7
Firefox 27

Note that you shouldn't confuse the Shockwave Flash plugin and the Shockwave for Director plugin as that are plugin for different content.
Does the Adobe test page still work?

Note that you can get a possibly colored Lego icon on the left end of the location bar that indicates that Firefox is blocking a plugin.

Windows 7 - 32-bit or 64-bit?
Make sure you use the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer when you try to use Flash Player, or checking the Shockwave Flash add-on.
What files do you have in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash (32-bit Windows), or C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash (64-bit Windows) ?

Why won't Adobe flash player run on my Macbook?

I go to the CNN site and their videos don't run. Instead they leave a message telling me to get Adobe Flash player, which I have done, apparently successfully, at least a dozen times. I've also uninstalled it and installed it again. This is an endless loop and I would be very happy to exit and watch the videos on the site or that people send me. Can anyone help me, please? I have a Macbook from about 2006, OS X 10.6.8. 2 Ghz Core 2 Duo. 1 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
Many thanks.

Why won't Adobe Flash Player download completely onto my new OS X 10.8.3?

I downloaded the installation app from the Adobe website, and went through the process of choosing how to receive updates and the like. But when the installation itself begins, it gets up to 7% then stops. It stays there for a while, then quits randomly, and there's no error message. I've tried it a couple times, and have downloaded the app from the website a couple times too. I don't understand why it won't work on my new computer.

Why won't it let me hit anything?

I was trying to put a title slide into my movie. While I was editing it, and typing something else on the Scroll title, I hit the font button and now it won't let me hit anything else. Everytime I click it gives me a rejecting noise. Why is this?

It could be that the disk you're saving your captures on are not fast enough or maybe is full. If you have an external disk that you can connect via firewire you can try to define this disk as the one to save your captures on. As I recall you do so by choosing 'Save all' in the files menu and then point to the ext. disk.
