Cannot install updates or Flash Player on Windows Vista

I know this is an old machine, but I really need help.

I recently had to restore laptop cleaning to factory settings and have had problems with windows update since.

Running Vista Home 32-bit.

Installing sp2, but now he finds other 120ish updated but will not progress the 0% download status

Also cannot install latest Flash Player. Going to download but not install.

Some research suggests that this was a certificate problem and run up-to-date KB2763674

Have downloaded it but when I try to run it I am stuck as I threw in a "search for update" constantly.

Pointers appreciated.

    I'm having trouble important load videos to play on an internet site

    and when loading videos they play very intermittently.

    I have a Dell Vostro 220.  It has 1.00 GB of memory and has a 32-bit operating system.

    I use Windows Vista operating system and the Internet Explorer 7.0 browser.

    Any guidance would be appreciated.

    Hi, thanks for the info, the format is fine. Your Flash files also are all correct and the Shockwave Flash Object. Flash Player is installed correctly and then something is contradictory, very probably an add on in the browser.

    Don't forget to inform me on the anti-virus program, etc.

    You can also view the IE Add ons all add ons, BHO or audiences that you don't know what they are for. Everything you have now, you did not have prior vs uninstallation and installation of Flash Player 10.1. Let me know.

  • I can't install Adobe Flash Player on Windows 7, IE11

    I can't install Adobe Flash Player on Windows 7, IE11 after countless attempts.  I installed Chrome (which I didn't do, and I still don't know if it was necessary), I updated Java to the latest version, I uninstalled Silverlight (thinking maybe it has been installed by default), I also (temporarily) disabled my Norton protection when installing it the last 4 times, and I made sure that the add-on has been "enabled" in the fall of management modules area , and yet, he does not show it when I do a test of the Adobe system being installed. It also does not appear on my start - search for Adobe programs.  I'm completely frustrated, especially when the web page to download Adobe told me that all the 3 steps are completed and effective and thank you & Enjoy.  I have read the forums as well, but I can't find a solution.  Help, please. Thank you, Bill

    If you do not have an error during the installation of the plugin is probably installed successfully.  It is possible that the plugin is disabled in Internet Explorer or ActiveX filtering is disabled.  Please see: Enable Flash Player for Internet Explorer and ActiveX in Internet Explorer filtering after ensuring the Flash Player is enabled and activeX filtering is disabled, via IE to https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html and click on the "Check now" button  What are the results for Information System?

    Java and Silverlight are two completely different programs, have nothing to do with Flash Player.

    Flash Player is a browser plugin and will not appear on a start - search Adobe programs.  It appears in Control Panel > Add Remove programs.

    Hello

    From Windows 8, Microsoft integrates Flash Player in Internet Explorer and all updates are distributed by Microsoft, no Adobe.

    In addition to checking that Flash Player is enabled, please ensure that the ActiveX filtering is disabled, see difficulty ActiveX in Flash Player in Internet Explorer issues.

    Today is patch Tuesday, which means that Microsoft will come out all sorts of updates, including an update to Flash Player for IE.  I don't know when they're going to live, because the update has not yet posted to Microsoft Security Advisory 2755801.  You can check this page later today, or run Windows Update later today or tomorrow to install updates.

  • How to install a previous version of Flash Player on Windows 8

    Hello

    Does anyone know how we can install a previous version of Flash Player on Windows 8 or 10 PC?

    The latest version of 20.0.0.267 is no longer compatible with our software (GetVariable() problems) and we would like to replace it with version 16.0.0.296

    The procedure for Windows XP, Vista and 7 is easy, but I don't have a solution for Windows 8 and 10

    Thank you very much for your attention to my request.

    Christophe

    Depends on what "type of plugin" you talk

    (1) If you are referring to NPAPI or PPAPI then it can be relatively simple.

    (2) If you are referring to the one built into the operating system, then you will need to uninstall the update of windows, like those who are pushed by Microsoft, however if you are on the original version of Windows 10 then this update will be forced down with you having no control unless you literally jump through hoops to keep it.

    (3) If you don't know not what version, then I suggest you run the uninstall program official adobe on this page Uninstall Flash Player for Windows

    and download an older version from this page (you will have to search and use google to determine which version is best for you) of the archived versions of Adobe Flash Player

    You really need to provide additional information such as the browser because it is extremely important, as well as the architecture of the operating system (use google)

    Best regards

  • Trouble installing the update of Flash player 14.0.0.177 for Chrome

    I tried to help my mother to update his flash drive. It was flash version 14.0.0.145 running and having problems with it. When I saw there was a newer version, 14.0.0.177, so I downloaded it, I was checking things for her. Chrome, to activate it on the plugins page, but the only version to appear was the old man. As far as I know, this is how it is installed. She has a computer with the windows operating system windows 7. Is there something I'm missing here, or something I must try that might help to get the latest version of flash running? Thank you!

    Hello

    The version of Flash Player integrated in Chrome is updated by Google, not Adobe.  For this version of Flash Player, it seems that Google has released Flash Player via an update to Chrome (as opposed to a components updated, they do sometimes), in accordance with this page Chrome releases: Stable channel update, which indicates that 36.0.1985.143 is the version that contains the update of Flash Player. You can navigate to chrome://chrome to trigger the update (or tools > about Google Chrome, that goes to the same page).

  • Install flash player on Windows 8.

    I'm having issues installing Flash Player on Windows 8 Preview (Build 8400) 64-bit version.
    I try to install the newest Flash Player for 64-bit Firefox (it's actually a customized version called BlazingFast built on firefox 12.0). It is 100%, freezes, and then tells me that the ActiveX control cannot be saved. I'm running no antivirus (as my favorite is not yet compatible with Windows 8) and am using an administrator account. I tried running in compatibility mode for Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows XP, but nothing works.

    My system features:
    Windows 8 Preview version (Build 8400) x 64
