Installing the latest Adobe Flash Player

17 years ago

I have tried and tried to install Adobe Flash Player. It gives me the message "Version 10.0.22.87 installed successfully" but everytime I go to a site I get a message that it requires the latest Adobe Flash Player. Anyone else had that problem and solved it?

you might try going to the page below and download the uninstaller to your desktop or somewhere where you will be able to find it,,
then close all your browser windows...
run the program so it will Unintall Flash Player !

Then after a reboot, go back to adobe.com and reinstall it fresh.

did you install it for the correct browser? there is one for each type of browser and each has to have it downloaded and installed, so if you use IE make sure you are getting the IE version downloaded same for firefox etc. then go back to the flash page and it will demonstrate for you which is installed and if it plays the animation it was successful.

DA, watch that thinking while eating lunch...it's bad for the digestion! However it is much appreciated. Below are the answers to your questions. 1. Have you tried FF bare boned with not add-ons to see if this occurs? Ans. Yes 2. Have you tried a prior version of FF? Ans, Yes, just a few minutes ago. I un-installed ver 11.0 and installed the older 10.0.2 in it's place. I also un-installed Flash Player and re-installed that again. ...still the same results after shutting down and re-starting! 3. Do you have FF set to delete history when closing? Ans, No. Thanks, Horton.

You can try completely uninstalling Adobe Flash ... Followed by restarting your computer. Download the full installer and install it. Adobe Flash Uninstaller tool; http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash download for Mozilla browsers; http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash download for Internet Exporer browser and some IntantMessengers too (active x); http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/support/install_flash_player_ax.exe At least then you can know you have Flash installed correctly. A script on this page is behaving poorly .. doesn't necessarily mean adobe flash is causing the problem. Windows has built in scripting. - And - You have a popup blocker and advertising blockers that block some scripting and that is usually the cause of that type of message - combined with poorly written page code to avoid causing that problem with adv & popup blockers. Another words its a website problem usually.

First guess: Are you installing the correct version; I.E. vs. Non-I.E.? If you are doing a "run-install" you absolutely have to be downloading the proper version. If you are doing a "save-install" you can use any browser to download-save-install either version, but it will only effect the target browser.. In my case I have FF, Opera, Google, SlimBrowser and I.E.9 installed on the system so I have both versions of Flash installed. Use the tool below to uninstall whatever you currently have installed. Then be triple sure you install the correct one. DA Here is a link that might be useful: Flash Uninstaller

Going back to my tech support days, you need to clear your flash cache, if you are on a page containing flash you can right click on it and get into your flash control panel that way, there might even be a control panel for it settings>control panels, lastly if I recall somewhere on the adobe flash download page I think on the left there is some sort of settings option there, click on it and it'll have a bunch of tabs. You probably want to clear the cache out and see if that helps. You could also try add/remove programs, uninstall it, reinstall/reboot. Have you edited your registry before? Did you back it up first, to a separate disk? You can do very bad things messing with your registry if something goes wrong.

So it is clear, you have to be using the specific browser for the mutually specific Flash Player when you upgrade it. For example, you cannot upgrade FF while using IE.

I just uninstalled Flash, then did a pretty good search of all things adobe/macromed/flash in the registry and files. Saw parts installed both in IE8, which is my default browser, & in Firefox also - which I seldom run.

Its doubful I have ever installed flash in firefox, no reason to ... yet it was there.
Actually I hate flash & adobe's less than humble ways of their bold sneaky intrusions into my life. Plus all those dang advertisements.
