Windows XP cannot shutdown after installing latest Flash Player

Anybody know what is wrong with latest version of flash
player?
i installed the latest version of flash player (download from
adobe), when I need to shutdown my Windows XP, the system does not
allow me to shutdown. I have to terminate the process
install_flash_player
Appreciate if anyone can advice me..

Haven't ever heard of Windows not being able to shut down
at all because of a certain process. If anything, it'll ask
you if you want to terminate it, and you just hit ok and it
continues shutting down.
Not to call you a lair or anything, just hadn't ever heard of
that, so I'd try re-installing the Flash Player first and foremost.
Don't just download the same player and install, first download
their flash_uninstaller, then re-download the flash player, and
install it.

Issues after installing latest Flash Player

Hi,
A little while ago I downloaded and installed the latest version of Flash Player 11.8.800. I have a Mac running OS X 10.6.8 and use Safari 5.0.5 as my browser.
Since installing I have been having two main problems.
The first is that I won't be able to click on certain buttons on a webpage. For some reason the buttons seem to not react to either a mouse click or the enter key. There doesn't seem to be any consistency in which buttons or when though.
The second problem is that sometimes if I go to play a video, e.g. on facebook that uses flash, it closes Safari with an error report.
I have followed the troubleshooting guide and uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times including deleting the file directories mentioned. I have checked the preferences are set correctly in Safari. One thing that I have noticed is that in one of the FAQ's it mentions that if Flash is installed correctly that there should be two files 'Flash Player.plugin' and 'flashplayer.xpt' in the 'Computer > Library > Internet Plug-ins.' directory. These files are not there before and after re-installing.
The only way I can stop the two errors mentioned is to close Safari completely and re-open, but this is of course isn't practical.
Any advice on what may be causing this and what I can do to rectify it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Max

Max,
Have you tried creating another user account (admin) and installing Flash Player under that account to see if it installs and works differently?
That's usually the best test to see if your user account needs permissions repaired. Plugins not installing where they should is a symptom of broken permissions in a user account.

After installing latest flash player update my screen display is rotated 90 degrees: how do I fix that?

as oon as flash player installed my whole screen display went side ways.

This will probably not have been caused by Adobe Flash. Many graphics drivers have the option to rotate the display, some have a keyboard shortcut to do this and you may have accidentally used the keyboard shortcut.
Try right-clicking on the desktop, there is often an option to access settings for your graphics card. You can then check the setting to see if there is a feature for rotating the display.

Install latest Flash Player

Trying to install latest Flash Player...get 50% thru and tells me to close browser do that and retry and get same msg

YES, we should follow all pop-up dialog instruction especially Flash CAN NOT install with any open IE, etc. browser using Flash (see behind your open browser) if there is one open.
The correct way to get Flash is to use your choice Browser (32 or 64 bit) or click the option that you have a different O.S., etc. Choose SAVE AS and remember where you saved it. Close ALL Browser. Find and click the downloaded Adobe Flash Payer file. Don't do anything with your PC and wait after final installation -- it'll tell you how successfully you're with a new web page. Restart your PC if it ask you to or better do it now.

Problem after installing the flash player

Hello
after installing the flash player i can't run some videos from different sites like facebook,
how can i fix it ?
Thank you

After the problem, I have quickly installed the latest graphic driver - but allways the same problem.
Before I have installed the flash player - the power settings - windows energy settings was "Turn off the display after ten minutes." It has always worked correctly.
After I have installed the flash player - the display was gone off - but never go on - I must restart my computer.
Now I must choose "Do never turn off the display". This problem I have since 2010. Until now I did not know why. Now I have reinstalled my computer and every day another programm installed. To see what it is.
This is my PC http://www8.hp.com/de/de/hp-search/search-results.html?ajaxpage=1#/page=1&/cc=de&/lang=de& /qt=WX139EA

Still getting blocked plug ins after downloading latest flash player to macbook

Am still getting blocked plug ins on video content after downloading latest flash player (as requested to do) to macbook please help

Can you check to see if you have "enable plug-ins" checked in Safari's preferences dialog, under the security tab? If not, enable it and check.
It seems to be a browser specific issue. Try a different browser like chrome or firefox, check if it works there.

Cannot install latest flash player, previous adobe download had lots of pups

Clamwin found and quarantined lots of infected (more than 60 adobe) files. I deleted them from the clamwin quarantine and then from my recycle folder. Then I got lots of "unresponsive scripts". Then, I tried to download and install the latest adobe flash player (because I thought the deleted infected files might be adobe flash files...they were definitely some kind(s) of adobe files. Now, I am trying to download and reinstall the latest flash player to remedy my lot of "unresponsive scripts", but I cannot complete its installation. I get a message that instructs me to close Mozilla Firefox...which is not open.
What's a Mother to do?
(No idea what community this should be in, btw.)

The plug-in version of Flash Player is for browsers other than Internet Explorer.

Problems Installing Latest Flash Player

Hellohello!
My Adobe Flash Player for Mozilla Firefox has been giving me troubles these past months, so today I decided to install a more recent version on my laptop.
Following the instructions, I deinstalled the old version before initializing the download/installation of the latest Flash Player. That, however, proved to be a mistake, as the installation has failed continously so far and now I have no player to my avail at all.
I have tried installation several times, but the process didn't even start and just left me the message 'Aktionsliste nicht gefunden' (action list not found).
I'm using a Fujitsu Siemens Laptop Computer with 32 Bit operating system and Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU processor. Windows Visa with Service Pack 2 is installed. So I guess the problem can't be due to a deficiency in system requirements and I also made sure that the required plug-in is activated and that any other version of the player is removed from my laptop.
Being anything but a computer/IT expert, I would be very very grateful if anybody could help me out. I'm at my wit's end in this matter, have spent the last three hours scouting for possible solutions to this problem.. to no avail whatsoever.
Thanks a million in advance!!

Hi Laura,
Most of these installation problems are caused by antivirus apps. These days, practically all of them incorporate web shields to protect you from downloading malware, files shields to prevent you from installing rogue pograms and the like. It's the file scanner which is the most problematical because it springs into action as soon as you run an installer of any kind. This interferes with the installation process and leads to file corruption further down the line.
In the current circumstances, I suggest you proceed as follows. First of all, disable all antivirus shields. If you happen to be using AVAST antivirus, right click the orange icon in the systray and choose to disable all shields for one hour. If you're using a different AV app, look for something similar in the user menus. Then proceed as follows.
Download the Flash uninstaller from here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Close all browsers.
Reboot. This is important to clear the Windows Registry after you uninstall something.
When the system reboots to the desktop, disable those AV shields again.
Download the installer from here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax_32bit.exe This is the installer for Internet Explorer. When you see the prompt, choose "Run" to install it immediately.
If you use another browser like Firefox, Opera, Safari etc., download this one as well: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_32bit.exe When you see the download prompt for this one, choose "Save" instead and save it somewhere you can find it afterwards.
After you complete the installation process, go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ to check that everything went according to plan.
You may require this player as well: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ It's rather like an enhanced version of the Flash Player and you'll need it to play games where you have some interaction with the animation. You don't need to run an uninstaller for this one. Simply download and click "Run" in Internet Explorer where you want to install it in that specific browser, or choose "Save" when you want to install it in any other browser.
