A few months ago I've been having issues with attempting to install Flash Player and QuickTime. I'm currently using Firefox 7.0 and Internet Explorer 8 as a backup browser. In Firefox, the installation works, but whenever I restart the computer, it requires another installation. Whenever I attempt an IE installation, I get the "failed to register" message, citing problems with the ActiveX control. Prior to all this, I hadn't any problems with either browser's handling the Flash Player.I've tried several corrective methods online, but nothing seems to fix the problem.I've also had issues with QuickTime installs; install attempts have been met with the "Error 46: Could not load or find the QuickTime ActiveX control" message.The ActiveX control seems to be the culprit in both cases and I'm beginning to suspect it might be a registry problem, but I'm not sure
I get a notice that there are updates for Quicktime, so I tell it to go ahead and it always fails with an error that says Getlasterror 5:Today I decided to fix this so I did some research and found that it's a fairly common problem.I didn't find any really concise answer, but Microsoft said to install a registry entry that adds the command "Grant Admin Full Control" to the right click drop down.I did that, it will be interesting to see if that works for some other access problems.However it didn't do anything for Quicktime.It will not let me uninstall the old version and it won't let me install the new version.I always get the Getlasterror 5, error which is caused by Windows not allowing the process to complete.Any one else run into this.I have seen posts that say to physically delete the Quicktime software but I don't really want to do that, I'm afraid I'll end up with no working version.I'm open to suggestions, this isn't a big deal, because the older version is installed and working.The same thing happens when trying to update ITunes, so it's and Apple, Windows thing.These over the top security issues are the only thing that really bugs me about Windows 7, I've been dealing with these ever since I started running it in beta.
I cannot install the Windows Service Pack 1 on my Windows 7 notebook. I have attached a picture of what it shows after failing to install the service pack after restarting the computer.
Upon clicking the "Go online..." link, I have followed the steps exactly as shown here: [URL] The service pack still fails to install.
I Can't find a flash player that works. everywhere I look it won't work. They say that it installs but when I go to a site that needs flash it doesn't work.
I do not know if this is unique to Win7 but I have posted this problem here. I am using IE9 on this 64 bit OS but I have not been able to download the latest flash player update.
My win 7 64 bit with Mozilla Firefox 5 or 4.01 does not play the flash content of my home page. Please note that I have read many posts regarding this issue and nothing has fixed the problem. I get the continues prompt you have to install flash player to read this contentany many installations it never works. I have used the uninstall flash player command and then reinstalled the player many times. No go.The browser Mozilla Firefox is 32 bit. Is there a fix or can I use a different player to play the content?have been trying to fix this for two months now.The flash player content is part of my Home Page The Globe and Mail, Toronto daily Newspaper
Evey time I log into live it asks me to install Adobe flash player so I do then the next day it comes up again, I have had this problem ever since Vista but it sent away one day until I installed 7, any ideas on why its doing it?
I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and I want to switch to 64-bit IE, but I can't find a 64-bit release of Adobe Flash Player (even alpha or beta). Can you help me?
i needed to make an clean installation of windows 7 and the only one i could get so fast was one with some programs added already, one of the programs was opera which i didn't like so i uninstalled it with "youre uninstaller 2008" and installed fire fox, so far no problems.
now i needed flash player 10 in order to install norton 2009, so i installed flash player 10 (direct link from the adobe website), but norton still gave me the error that it wasn't installed, i looked up and found this,
don't know if you can see it but flash player tries to install it on my opera folder, which isn't there anymore and it fails then it installs an uninstaller and say's its finished.
so i guess opera has left some system files in my computer so flash player thinks its still there and won't install the right way.
After getting Windows 7 x64 installed, I was having a problem getting the Pandora Gadget to work. It turns out this gadget uses Flash, which only comes in a 32 bit version. The Sidebar is x64, and can't access Flash. I came up with a quick and dirty way to load the 32 bit sidebar instead which allows flash to work! I know there are several gadgets out there that use flash so this should be a fix for all of them.

My laptop is a COMPAQ 6910p 1 Gb. Ram, running WINDOWS 7 PREMIUM. I need to download and install MACROMEDIA ADOBE FLASH PLAYER! I don't know why I have not been able to DOWNLOAD and INSTALL it. I had been trying for the last three days and What can I do to solve this problem?
I'm having extremely hard time downloading Flash Player. I recently upgraded my Windows from Vista to 7. I went into You Tube and the Flash Player warning came on You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video." It also said that I have to download Flash Player, which I did. When I am downloading, the Flash Player is first slow in getting the application. When it does it takes about a minute to begin to install. The red bar begins to fill in the bar, then it stops at 12%. It then shows a timeout word. I took this as the Flash Player had a hard time downloading in the time that is requested. I've done something's that I have thought would speed up the download. I have transferred a lot of important files onto my external drive and deleted the files on my C: Drive.

good morning everyone, I've been reading on a tech site that Windows 8 will not run adobe flash player, then I came to doubt, as the videos will run from the internet without this plug-in?
about a week ago i dl'd windows updates, after that most videos (99% Internet) on the web have a green bar on top and the some colors dont line up correctly. i uninstlled adobe flash player 11.xxxx and re-installed it but still nothing, i did a full system scan and still nothing. i do not have a restore point (i know, stupid) ive included a pic of my problem and a link to the article so you can see for yourselves that the video should not look the way it looks in the pic [url]
since last week ive been having a adobe flashplayer problem . I need to do you tube videos but now I cant get any videos everytime i try and get a video it tells me i must have adobe flashplayer 9 or better installed on my computer !!! Ive downloaded flashplayer 11.3 like 40 times and it still does not work . Its like flash-player is not recognized on my computer no more even though it is downloaded and installed.
till a few days ago my flash player was running perfectly well until all of a sudden all videos through all websites stopped playing. Internet plays but takes a long time to even retrieve the video. one thing i've observed is even while retrieving the video the download rate is maxed out @ around 1mbps and suddenly the video loads with a lot of it already buffered.the usual route being retrieve vid buffer play.but the first two steps are going on together almost. it's almost as if the video is retrieved and buffering but does not play till a very long time. i'm talking atleast 30 mins here. i've update flash for windows and chrome that also includes the security update. there could be malware of some kind but not sure that's the reason.
I just bought a now CPU with Windows 7 64-bit. I'm using IE 8.On a few internet sites, I'm told that I need the lastest version of Adobe Flash Player. After I down load it (from the Adobe site),I'm still told that I need it. When I check the un-install a program screen, it's there. When I tried to install the player again, the screen tells me that it's already installed. I also find a "fix" for IE 8 and Adobe Flash Player that I down loaded from there site. Still no luck with IE 8.I installed Goggle Crome on the advise of a friend and the same internet sit that told me to install the player is working find.Is there any way to get IE 8 to reconize Adobe Flash Player.

I have Win 7 x64. I'm trying to use a program that I'm convinced is looking for flash player in the system32 directory. So how do I install flash player to system32 and not to SysWOW64?
