Adobe Flash Player trouble - Internet EXP 8 Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,
ever since I installed the latest Internet Explorer (8) Adobe Flash Player wont work at all. For example - On sites such as : www.allsp.net and www.explosm.net - any video that requires flash wont play, and comes up with a small image in the top left hand corner of a few colourful shapes.

What can I do? I dont know how to uninstall INX 8, and I really want flash to work. 
I have tried re-installing it, but it just says " save file" and not install, or run.

Suggestions please? I also tried it using the Firefox browser, same problem.Configuration: Windows Vista
Internet Explorer 8.0

Same here. I've tried all the recommended settings within the Internet Options, uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. I dont know if it's a fail on Adobe's part or IE8... If you guys happen to find out anything let me know.

Flash Player 10 supposedly installs for me, but every day when I go to certain websites, a box pops up telling me I need to install Flash Player.

I've talked to both Adobe and Microsoft, but so far neither tech support has solved the problem.

Tim · Answer

I had the same problem running Youtube on IE8.  I did everything by checking the Java Script was On and re-installed the Flash Player 10, nothing worked.

Curiously, I tried running on Google Chrome and for my surprise It Worked!  Try it if you have the same problem.

ruzicka · Answer

well...putting the security settings to "medium" seems to have done absolutely nothing to solve my problem!

Chris · Answer

I have the same problem, IE 8.0.6001.18702, Flash 10.0.22.87 on WinXP Pro SP3.
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

My IE hangs on the download link. I get the warning from Adobe's website that IE may throw the
"ActiveX Control" warning in the yellow info bar, but that info bar never appears in IE.
I have to force quit IE at this point.

On re-launch I go into IE8 tools and look at "Manage Extensions and Add-Ons" and the Adobe
Flash Player isn't listed. 

When I'm done posting this, I'll try restarting, but that hasn't worked in the past. 
Next I'm going to try downloading the installer and run it from my desktop with the browsers
not running.

cath · Answer

Very annoying and frustrating, and the problem persists in spite of all above suggestions, and regardless of browser.  To see videos in Facebook, on websites, etc..  you have to upgrade to the newest Flash player, but if you use the latest Flash player, (well, a lot of us at least) you can't watch videos in Youtube.  Adobe, where are you?  I hope they come up with a fix for his.

ruzicka · Answer

Nope.  That didn't help either!  Thanks for the suggestion though!

GremReaper · Answer

Use Mozilla Firefox.  You will not have the problem with it.  I have tried everything to get it to work on IE8 with Vista and no luck.  But Firefox has zero problems running the Flash Player

Pawlu · Answer

I just found a website that suggested the following. It has cured my problem to a certain degree. The videos were playing for me, but jolting. They are not jolting anymore. Maybe every now and then, but nowhere near as bad as before.

"Because IE 8 is new there are some websites that haven’t caught up to IE 8 and are not compatible with the browser.  If you come to a site that doesn’t appear to load correctly you can try clicking on the Tools button on the Menu Bar and selecting Compatibility View.  This will cause IE 8 to emulate IE 7 so you can still view pages that haven’t caught up to the new technology.  If you are still having issues you can go to Adobe’s website and manually install the downloader instead of getting it through update."

Pawlu · Answer

Grrr actually youtube still not working properly. Very jumpy. Seems when it's fully loaded, if u play it from the start, it's fine. But as its loading it's definately a no-go.

Pawlu · Answer

I have another solution which has just worked for me.

I uninstalled IE8 from the add/remove programs. The computer restarts with IE7 but still, the problems remain.

I then did a system restore back to an earlier date before I had installed IE8 and now it totally works. My computers loads at the correct speed (2 mins, rather than 15), I have IE7 and my video/audio (both affected, not just online, but also vids/sound on my comp) all restored to how they were before.

I think there may have also been a problem with the latest java app installed, so might be worth checking when you last installed a java update.

Hope this helps someone out there!

Think everyone's getting too techy over this - just run Secunia PSI and it will fix the problem with Adobe Flash.

Ribit · Answer

I have had the same problem. Even after getting rid of Explorer 8 (BOOOOOO!) my flash player didn't work all on all of the sights. I have Windows XP and here's what finally worked for me.

To restore the computer to a previous state

In Windows, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore. 
Follow the prompts to complete the restoration process. 

Just choose a point date before you installed Exp. 8.   YEAAAAAAAAAA

David Spector · Answer

It is amazing how so many answers to this problem on Web fora are wrong. People giving advice should test it first.

Anyway, I found the answer in an obscure posting: it's a security bug. One can argue whether it is Microsoft's fault or Adobe's fault, but I wish they'd fix it already. Weird how days are passing and no fix has been pushed to the users.

Anyway, Microsoft changed the way that certain packages are signed with security certificates. Adobe didn't get the word, and continued to sign their releases in the same old way. The result is that current Internet Explorer browsers, versions 7 and 8, report an error for any website running Flash, and refuse to download the latest version. That is why System Restore, a drastic measure, can work. There is no fix that the user can apply. Changing user Security settings won't work. The only workaround is to switch to another browser. ANY other kind of browser.

I was having this problem with Firefox. Whenever I tried to use the Full screen mode windows seems to freeze with colorful and crash and I had to restart my computer. I came across this site while trying to search for a solution and I just wanted to let you guys know what seems to work for me...

I found this solution on another site. It seems to happen with hardware acceleration turned on. I turn off the Hardware Acceleration for Adobe Flash Player and I it has not crashed yet for me...

flashcrashnbash · Answer

I had the exact same issue. What you need to do is firstly turn off user access control. Then follow these instructions

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html

Worked for me. The above basically sets the correct permissions on the registry so you can update the version of flash correctly.

ScotBob · Answer

Hi Guys,

I recently had this problem with a laptop which had IE8 installed using Microsoft Update. I tried everything from system restore, uninstall/reinstall flash, java, IE8 and nothing worked. Eventually after hours of trawling through the internet I found a registry tweak that cured it instantly, oh how I wish I had written it down as I now have another laptop doing exactly the same thing after an update.

I hope this gives the more technical of you a clue as to where the fix lives and if you figure it out could you let the rest of us know.

Cheers and good hunting.

David Spector · Answer

I can't believe the continued silence from both Microsoft and Adobe. These large companies love making money but seem to hate fixing their bugs. They're like an addict who cannot accomplish the first step: admit they have a problem. They probably can't reproduce the problem because they use expensive, top-of-the-line computers and software. No Home Editions and Open Source or freeware on their test systems, I bet.  I finally solved my problem by uninstalling IE8 and then installing IE7, then reinstalling the two special Flash Players for IE and Firefox hidden on the Adobe website (Firefox works better for me in general, but I have to use IE to test my Web programs).

I'm sorry I have no solution for the many folks who cannot get Flash working again with any browser. I wish that these two big companies would show some interest in fixing their products.

5.Extract the reset_fp10.cmd file to C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\.  

6.Double-click reset_fp10.cmd.

9. Install and enjoy.

overthehill · Answer

Hi, Same Adobe problem on installing Internet Explorer 8.and have gone back to 7.  BUT I did find that if I right clicked on the link to a pdf document and then left clicked on 'Save target as' I will then find the pdf saved in 'Shared Doduments' and could open it from there. Might be worth a try for others. 8 is so much faster than 7 but they need to iron our the creases.  Another think I found annoying was that if you clicked on the Home icon it didn't open another page, to do that you had to click on the little new tab and then sellect Google search.....need I go on!

Johnny Nguyen · Answer

I followed these steps and it works right after that:
1. To change your security level: 

Open Internet Explorer. 
Choose Tools > Internet Options. 
Select the Security tab. 
Select Custom Level. 
Find the section "ActiveX controls and plug-ins". 
Set ' Download Signed ActiveX Controls' to Prompt. 
Set 'Run ActiveX Controls And Plug-ins' to Enable. 

Download and unzip Install_Flash_Player_10_ActiveX.zip. 

Yo...should be good to go....enjoy

Akuma · Answer

Try this:
open ie8, go to tools, manage add-on, show all add-on,.
see whether the is any add-on disabled, especially Java's. 
Enable it and try youtube.

If problem still exist, try to look for Java add-on, try to disable the older version of add-on for Java.. one by one then try youtube, it works for me..

Mine-vista home, ie8.

himnextdoor · Answer

This is what I did and it seems to work.

First I went to add/remove programs and checked the 'show updates' box. I then removed the two ie8 updates and then removed ie8 itself. (But don't restart yet.)

I then located the security update for XP numbered KB973346 which is the ActiveX killbits patch and removed it.
Then I restarted the computer.

I'd now reverted back to ie6 but you might go back to ie7 in which case I would remove that as well.

Next I clicked on 'Windows Updates' in the start menu and selected 'custom updates'. In the 'Priority Updates' list I selected ONLY the ie8 update and proceeded to install it. During installation I was asked if I wanted to install some other ie8 updates; I said no by unchecking the box. The installation completed and I restarted my computer.

Then I ran ie8 and tried to watch a video on You Tube. I got that damn message (for about the hundedth time) saying 'javascript blah... ActiveX blah' but then I clicked on the info bar at the top of the page and I got the ActiveX Install/Don't Install dialogue box, I clicked on 'Install' and Hey Presto! I can watch You Tube videos.

Good Luck!

himnextdoor · Answer

Oh yes, and then I installed all the other updates and everything still works. 

I think that one of the updates 'sees' the installation of the ActiveX update which necessitates writing changes to the registry as an attempt to change the way that web content is viewed and interprets that as a security violation before causing the operation to be cancelled.

By installing ie8 without the updates first and then installing ActiveX, the registry changes have already been written by the time the updates (which are installed after) have been put in charge of security.

Hi, I have IE 7.

I just had a couple of days when I couldn't watch videos and programs I have been watching for the past two months. IT WOULD TELL ME THAT I NEEDED ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 9. When I would install 9, I'd get 10, and still the videos would behave the same. JUST NOW I found a site WHERE SOMEONE ASKED after having installed Adobe Flash Player plug-in what to do because still having the problem (same thing). SOMEONE ANSWERED TO OPEN INTERNET OPTIONS (Click Tools arrow right of screen, s/b last on the drop down list), click Programs tab, click Manage Add-ons, Click Add-ons that have been used by Internet Explorer, then in the drop down, see whether Shock Wave player is enabled or disabled (enable it).

When I enabled Shockwave, RESULTS!!!! Hope this helps.

fudgeynz · Answer

The only way I have managed to successfully get flash player to work on IE8 every time is to right-click on the explorer icon, then select "Run as administrator".........or use Firefox.

When I access my email Inbox through Windows Live Messenger, any emails with a link that may require Flash Player won't work, because I am not in Administrator Mode - even though I am an Administrator on my PC!

I think it has something to do with the UAC setting, as when I open IE using Administrator, the Internet | Protected Mode is Off.  Any one any ideas on what should ideally be set?

Also, I have tried the "uninstalling Flash" method, etc, previously, but nothing has ever worked.

My OS is Vista Home Premium.

You need to run 32 bit version of IE8.  Adobe Flash has not yet released a version for 64 bit version.

passerby · Answer

Another workaround is to copy "Flash10c.ocx" from %SystemRoot%\system32\Macromed\Flash to Internet Explorer directory (usually C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer) and rename it to "Flash.ocx". (You will need to click Allow in several UAC prompts while doing this).

alright guys, I believe i've found the solution...
goto http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

select windows vista/xp/... (works for win7 too)

choose Flash Player 10 for Windows Internet Explorer and download a file called
install_flash_player_ax to enable flash on IE and WLM.

likewise, choose Flash Player 10 for other browsers and download a file called
install_flash_player to enable flash on firefox, opera, chrome, etc...

install these to files and all problems should be solved.

hey all,

I had similar problem with WinXP SP3. Mozilla Firefox and Chrome both didn't play youtube videos showing Flash Player errors. I tried uninstialling and reinstalling flash player several times with all kinds of tricks mentioned on different websites. Finally what worked for me was:

Chrome: go to options, then to change proxy settings, then to security and finally change the security level to lowest

Firefox: Go to Tools, then Options, then Contents, and click on Exceptions and finally add youtube as exception. There are two buttons for add Exceptions and I added youtube in both of them and it worked wonders for me.

Hopefully it'll work for some of you having similar problem. Obviously, I can't say that it'll work for all!

Bill · Answer

Adobe flashplayer worked on Mozilla Firefox but not on Internet explorer 8.  Youtube kept saying java tuned off or old version of flashplayer, and to download  the latest version of flashplayer.  I already had the latest flashplayer installed, but I tried downloading it again anyway, but could not install Adobe flashplayer  as the latest version was already installed, and the download was disrupted.  I went in on IE8 tools and found the flashplayer,and disabled it.  When I went back in on the IE8 tools it had vanished to my surprise.  Now even the small AOL videos that worked no longer worked on IE 8 .  I tried Mozilla and everything worked fine, and the flashplayer still showed in the set program access.  I could not install Adobe before disabeling it in IE 8, but after disabeling it and causing it to vanish in the IE8 tools settings , this time it did install using IE 8 for the download.   I then got the small AOL videos to work again but youtube still would not work.  I then downloaded Java Script through IE 8 , and then youtube worked fine on IE 8.  I have no idea why nothing would work on IE8, but was fine on Mozilla. I also had ran Java tests on IE 8 and Java said it was working properly, and obviously it wasn't.  I am not sure, but I think it might be important to download these items through  the web browser, in this case IE 8,that you are having problems with.  I think if I had attempted to download through Mozilla it may not have solved the problem on IE 8.     Hope this might help someone else with the same problem

Iosif Baciu · Answer

There is not a security problem. If you use IE8 and after install Java and Adobe Flash Player the Youtube flash videos do not work you have disabled the Shockwave Flash Object Add-On. Bottom in IE8 you have an icon "Manage Add-Ons" with a red circle and doubleclick it or go to TOOLS->Manage Add-Ons, select Shockwave Flash Object and enable it. Close the box and refresh your page with Youtube videos. That's all folks... Let your security level Default in Internet Options and do not customize the settings.

dead · Answer

Step 1

Most of the time, the problem is with your antivirus or antispyware. In fact, incorrect settings in your antivirus and antispyware create problems not only with Internet Explorer but any browser or application requiring data transmission over a network. To check if they are the cause, turn them off. Close all open windows of Internet Explorer 8, and open a fresh one. Use this Internet Explorer window to browse ONLY secure sites. If it works fine, the problem is with your antivirus or antispyware software. You can isolate the problem by turning them off one at a time and seeing which one is causing problem. You may then fix it by updating or reinstalling the antivirus or antispyware program or even by replacing the one creating problem. But, if your Internet Explorer still causes problems, check out step 2.

Step 2

Add-ons or plug-ins are either added manually or are added with the installation of any application such as Adobe Acrobat Reader. Some are default. A corrupt add-in may also cause an Internet Explorer freeze. To check this, right click on the icon of Internet Explorer, and select the option Run without Add-ons. If Internet Explorer begins working properly, one or more of the add-ons are corrupt, and you should follow the method mentioned in the next paragraph to fix the issue. If it is not working properly even with add-ons disabled, you may proceed to step 3.

To locate the plug-in creating problem, start Internet Explorer normally again and disable all plug-ins (see the NOTE and Image in the first section). Enable each plug-in--one by one--after browsing for some time with each plug-in. You can isolate the plug-in causing the problem as Internet Explorer 8 hangs as soon as you enable the corrupt plug-in. Click on the Disable or Remove button after selecting the plug-in in the Manage Add-ons window to fix the problem.

Step 3

There is high possibility that one of the processes on your machine is conflicting with the functioning of Internet Explorer. To check this, you will have to test your Internet Explorer in a clean boot environment"https://www.brighthub.com/computing/windows-platform/articles/44681.aspx/". The link also explains how to isolate the process interfering that causes Internet Explorer 8 to freeze. If your problem is not fixed, you will have to go for a reset as mentioned in the next step.

Step 4

Resetting Internet Explorer restores the browser to the state when it was first installed. The first section of the article Troubleshooting and Reinstalling Internet Explorer in Windows XP explains how to reset Internet Explorer 8. If the browser works fine after resetting Internet Explorer, your problem is fixed. Otherwise you will have to re-register all components of Internet Explorer 8"http://www.brighthub.com/computing/windows-platform/articles/44296.aspx?p=2". If the problem disappears after re-registering all components, you are done with troubleshooting Internet Explorer 8. If the Internet Explorer 8 freeze appears again, the final resort is to reinstall Internet Explorer 8.

A proper reinstall of Internet Explorer 8 should fix the problem when Internet Explorer 8 hangs frequently. If the problem still persists, you will need expert help. You may either call a local expert technician or contact the MS Help and Support Center to repair Internet Explorer 8.

Tip: An Internet Explorer 8 freeze may also occur when you open too many tabs. Try to keep the number of tabs in Internet Explorer to five or less. If you need more, it is better to open a new window of Internet Explorer instead of more tabs in the same window. Internet Explorer hangs even when you use several Internet Explorer tabs depending upon the machine and the number of active processes.

Hi
It seems we have to wait for Adobe to update their player or make IE7 our default browser.

I have tried all the above solutions...nothing worked for me.  I'm running IE8 on XP.  I can't even install Flash 10 ;  it just returns an error while installing.  Ultimately, I switched to Google Chrome and everything is working fine.

VIDEOS IN YOUTUPE DONT WANT TP PLAY AT ALL?  Please help.

MaMaMia · Answer

I have a possible solution that worked for me :-) I have windows 7.  I tried several times to download, which it did. But when I went to youtube, I still could not watch the videos. (even after turning off pop-up blockers, virus, firewall, etc.) I found the problem. I went to Tools> Manage add-ons>Toolbars and extensions. In there, for some reason it said Adobe flashplayer 10 disabled. So I enabled it, and it fixed the problem!

Hope this helps · Answer

The problem I had with IE8 watching flash videos from ABC, NBC, Fox  etc., was that I had the Compatibility  View Settings set to Display All Web Sites in Compatibility View. Go Tp Tools>Compatibility View Settings and uncheck Display All Web Sites in Compatibility View.
