I have not been able to get flashplayer working in Vista or Firefox and here is what fixed it for me.

In IE 8 I went to Tools and clicked Manage Addons and found adobe "disabled" for some dumb reason so I enabled it and as simple as that it now works....

In Firefox I redownloaded the program (note: pay attention to the download process because in Firefox you probably will have to "enable" the download by clicking on an enable button on the screen during the process to make sure you get the download.)

Hope this helps a few people :)

I have been trying to use Flash Player with internet explorer for a while now, today I tried it in Firefox and it worked, but my preferred is IE. One last attempt to fix this problem has been fixed by you, so a big THANK YOU to you at last it works so cheers for the manage add on and enable Adobe thing. FANTASTIC!

just let you know m8, vista as bugs. that why they recalled it and came out with Windows 7. please note this guys don't ever ever! use vista on any PC / Laptop. and if ur pc or / laptop does come with it. just take it off and add XP Pro / XP Home / Or If Your Pc / Laptop can handle Windows 7 Then Use That. But Other Then That Stay Way From Vista. Thanks

I am also having the same problem. When I go onto farmville I cant get passed the loading page. The bar gets to half full then my web browser says 'done'. I have tried this on facebook, farmville.com then on google chrome, firefox etc etc. I have changed internet settings, updated flash, java etc. Tried turning off firewall. Maybe its a sign that I spend too much time on farmville? But if anyone has any ideas please let me know. I dont think it is farmville/facebook as I can get on it on other computers. This has only happened since facebook decided to change its layout again!!!!

I was having the same issue but fixed it. Here's how..

1) Download Flash Player directly: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe

2) Save it, don't run it

3) Close all your browsers and install the saved file


NOTE: The above link is for a Windows file, if you're using another OS visit www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer to download the installation file directly.

Hye,

To simplify just use another browser,

I will advise you to use google chrome!

Download it here:

https://www.google.com/chrome/

Install the browser

I had the same problem, firewalls were off & it appeared the Flashplayer was downloading but it never installed propperly. I tried it about 10 times, then I noticed an advance tab that gives a choice of always trusting & alowing adobe upgrades. If you sellectit Windows Vista appears not to block it & it completes the installation. It then gave the box showing there logo rotating & said Flash 10 was installed. This may help you?

i am using an old pc which I build myself in 2004 and has a NVidia MX440-AGP8X graphics card and I am using an HP LP2065 monitor. I used to have the same problem and now I run my monitor speed at 120Hz. the problem of continous flashing is gone and I can play the farmville or any other game in full screen mode. my graphics resolution is 1600x1200 which may not be available from other graphics cards.

try to run your monitor on its highest speed!!!!!

Yeah, there's something wrong with Zynga and there is something seriously wrong with the current version of flash player. Here are some of the links I have been to and NONE of the fixes work. I even rolled back to Flash 9 with no luck.

Yoville won't work. Rollercoaster won't allow for invites, adding neighbors, etc. so I can't advance past the tutorial because I can't add friends to work the rides. But it's not just those games... Restaurant city won't load. FarmTown won't load the neighbors page or the gifting link for FarmTown friends.

I don't know how much is Zynga, how much is Facebook, how much are updates, etc... but I suspect it's all in the Flash Player. Mostly because it does funky things and has other glitches. (Screen flashes randomly. With Rollercoaster the sad face to upgrade flashes up while the app loads at the same time. Profile pics won't load in FarmTown for neighbors. People randomly disappear. It crashed my Firefox because I was click on fields that it wouldn't plow... crashed it twice today! Firefox wasn't one to crash until I updated the Flash Player...)

Here's a whole thread where people describe the same problems. Just know you're not alone! ;^)

well reading through this I tried something with the windows firewall.

after disabling it I went to adobe and downloaded the flash player (again) and this time a new dialogue box opened and it loaded and installed. I also had to allow an exception for www.adobe.com.

well yeah, now I can play fishville again :)

take note: on your browser look for tools and click option then click content you will see block pop-up window click advance and put the website that is allow for you then click ok, enabled java script then reload your browser again.make sure you go in adobe control panel manager setting look if the the 3rd party is check Click http://www.macromedia.com/...

I am having the same problem and it does not matter if you are using IE or Google Chrome, I have the problem with both of these Browsers; I'm not going to add Firefox and do this step with one, another step with another, etc...I have to agree, eah time I update Adobe, some really irritating issues come up. One time, videos would not play, another time only videos on Youtube would not play but they would play on places like MySpace etc...I kept trying to avoid updating Flash because I knew there would be an issue however, I could not keep "holding it off" because some things would not display until I clicked on the update. This is all weird but mostly annoying. So far, the crash only happens when I try to maximize the screen.

I also went directly to the adobe site, downloaded latest version of flash player and it seems to have resolved the issue with farmville, and farmtown!!!

I didn't read every post on this page, but from what I have read I can see that only one person has come close to telling what the problem really is...

This comes from Zynga (you can find it just below the Farmville menu line, i.e. "Play, Gift, Neighbors, Invite, etc." :

"Howdy farmers! We are resolving reported LOADING issues and have TURNED OFF WITHER, so your crops and farms are safe. Fix coming soon!"

Apparently it's not woking. :(P

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!! I have tried IE, Firefox, Chrome and the same problem is that I can't play games on Facebook or any games really. Nothing works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have stupid Home Edition Vista, I am starting to hate it.

Same problem here.... IE doesn't allow me to open farmville... but fortunately enough, it opens in morzilla and can atleast do some farming though I cant add friends, accept gifts and send gifts...

I spend most of every day repairing Vista just so I can cripple to a coupke of pages. I can't go anywhere in Farmville ever. This has gone on for months. I reformat, doesn't matter. It is the same thing constantly. Unbelievable.

Windy....reformatting your computer wont solve it at all.

Simple, download safari browser from apple it works perfect. IE explorer on windows 7 is 64 bit which isn't supported by flash player.

Very odd situation.

Doesn't work on my IE via Facebook, but does on chrome. But ..... if you go direct to http://www.farmville.com/index.php it does work ok there? WTF, must be something to do with Facebook perhaps?

I'll still try to find out why, so GF stops moaning .....

lol.. thanks mate... but I can get on it IE fine. it's just google... but I am a IT Pro so I will look in to it. I thought I can ask if any one has the same thing or as what I have. errors on loading sorry for asking :)

I just had this issue on my wife's computer. To get it to work for her we had to go to Adobe.com to download the update. It wouldn't install through the link.

i cant get in my farm and the other people cant get on my farm either
please help

I can not get on my farm..I can click on Neighbors and see all of my neighbors, but can not visit any farms, including my own. The only thing I am able to do is send gifts.

I have reinstalled Flash Player and disabled cookies and nothing will help to let me go onto Farmville. How does this happen, if most of my other neighbors are able to play just fine?
0
I can't get on either. I'm assuming it's something with FarmVille given the message they are showing and the fact that I can't get on but both my sons can, using the same computer. At least our crops won't wither while they are fixing it. We'll just have to be patient I think, unfortunately.
