Windows Vista-installing adobe flash player

Hello

For some reason, I tried to download Adobe Flash Player in my computer (which works with Windows Vista) and he would never download! I have no idea why. Its been like a year and I was trying to download several times and it would never download even when I uninstall the previous restart the computer, change the security settings or whatever. Please help me! It's really frustrating. Please tell me how I can download it so I can watch videos on my computer.

Hello Cynthia Ali,.

Without knowing if you have a computer 32-bit or 64-bit, I guess that the problem could be a 64-bit Adobe flash player has not yet been released by Adobe.

If this is not the case, please provide further details about your question and we will be happy to help you. Give the exact error message.

Thank you

  • 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.

    Even if you can be a computer 64-bit by default IE 8 or 9 should be the 32-bit version.  This is the version that runs on 64-bit computers by default.  If you use this version, then the problems would disappear.

    I recently installed Adobe Flash Player ActiveX 11 - 11.4.402.265 and when I open my Mozilla Firefox browser I get this message flashing on my screen: "Adobe Flash Player 11.4 r402 has stopped working" and then "Windows is checking for a solution"

    It flashes several times then stops usually but not always.

    It happens every time I try to open a new page.

    I solved this problem by uninstalling Adobe Flash Player 11 and install Adobe Flash Player 10.3. However, now my IE browser again wants me to install Adobe Flash Player 11. Although I do not often use my IE browser, I DON'T have to use sometimes. Is there a Firefox 15.0 update to fix this problem?

    First of all, the Flash of the IE is totally different than the flash used in Firefox. You can update one without affecting the other.

    Now, there is a problem right now with Flash 11.3 and 11.4 in Firefox. Downgraded to 10.3 is an acceptable solution for the moment. Adobe publishes the updates (slowly) that solve the problems, but it is not a matter of time before they are all fixed.

    Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - avoid that it happen

    11.3 Flash does not load video in Firefox

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:

    • On a Windows system, you must always update both individually.

    Hello community,

    Just can't install Adobe Flash Player! Using Firefox on Windows XP Professional

    and.... How do I tun off the browser?

    Thomas,

    Even if you think that you don't have Flash installed, download the following uninstall program, and then close your browser. Then run the uninstall program to remove Flash: Flash Player Uninstaller

    Then, go to the following site and download the install (s) stand alone
    http://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

    If you want to install it in Internet Explorer, download the 12.0.0.38 version above.

    To install a different browser, download the 12.0.0.43 version

    Choose the version of the EXE file in both cases. If you download 12.0.0.38, choose "Run" instead of "Save" to install it immediately.

    Otherwise, download the file to your own machine and then run it. Close the browser in advance if you are using another browser IE can.

    Either way, Google Chrome Flash is already installed and updates periodically.

    EDIT: To 'disable' Firefox, press ALT to toggle the text links on and then click on file and choose EXIT.

  • missing WinHTTP.dll appears installing adobe flash player.i

    missing WinHTTP.dll appears installing adobe flash player.can't read on cause disk installation of scratch.can I download? If so where? / Thank you.

    If missing winhttp.dll, some Services from Microsoft (and others) just will not start:

    BITS service (Background Intelligent Transfer Service)
    Automatic Update Service (it crashes you try to start)

    You can see things like this in the Event Viewer log system:

    Service
    Cannot start Service on Local computer Background Intelligent Transfer.
    Error: 126: the specified module could not be found
    Event type: error
    Event source: Service Control Manager

    Description:
    The Background Intelligent Transfer Service is completed with the following error:

    The automatic updates Service hang and displays "Start" in the Services applet:

    Event type: error

    Description:

    Some products Adobe also will not work, like the Adobe Dreamweaver CS5ServiceManager Service Manager (and perhaps other Adobe startup items) not start and displays error message like this:

    This application has failed to start because WINHTTP.dll was not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    Running sfc/scannow will not replace the winhttp.dll file missing.  I know because I tried.  It's just another wild goose chaseSupport Engineer.

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32
    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:

    http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you can not see the file extension (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc.), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, your browser is unable to save the file with an extension (by example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, .zip, etc) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called winhttp when the name of the file should really be called winhttp.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

    Sfc/scannow will not replace the winhttp.dll file missing, but it will be a frustrating waste of time and a technician to support running wild goose chase.  Technical support engineers are hired by Microsoft if you hope that someone would know better.

    It's a shame that the technical support engineer did not his own advice to "check how it works.
