Adobe flash player not installing?

[DerekRob]

I've been trying to install the adobe flash player in all three of my browsers and it will not install.

Ok I go to youtube to listen and watch some of my favorite musicians and even post some of my own guitar skillz and it says I need to install the adobe flash player so I do and it seems to install good "it seems anyways" I go back to youtube and it says I need to install the player again.

So what's going?

look for it in the add-ons app in firefox 3

[DerekRob]

Oneslowz28, It shows up in the add ons but this is the funny part.

If you direct like and embed a youtube video here in your next post I could click play and it would play, However if I go to the video in it's native site youtube I would see this.

"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player."

Reboot your computer if you haven't already.

Reboot your computer if you haven't already.That's not the problem I had to reboot it when I was installing other updates.

What OS? I had that problem with XP pro and found this helpful:

I downloaded and installed the subinacl utility from microsoft, ran the file from adobe with it, and it fixed the problem for awhile. I had to run this several times over the next few months to fix various registry permission problems involving script errors. A complete re-install of windows finally provided a permanent fix.

I'm still getting the same issue.

It is better to use the "download to install later" option. Whe the browser does its own install it fail a lot of the times. So click the download, when done close the browser then install. This way has a much better histort for sucessfull installs.

Ditto on this. I'm assuming since it is happening on multiple browsers it not a browser setting unless you set them all to high or some strange custom settings. The only other thing I can think is a permission issue. Is it a Windows box and if yes which version?

and I've tried to down load and install later option and it's the same.

Uninstall Flash, install CCleaner, reboot open CCleaner, click Registry > Scan Registry > Fix Selected Issues (save backup) then re-install Flash... I'll bet $10 that will fix it.

You really need to clean up after programs these days. Programs constantly break in Windows and OS 10 and you need to clean up after them. Always use the above method after uninstalling programs regardless of how big you think they may be. They all leave behind crud.

Adobe has a flashplayer uninstaller, you need to use that first. Then install the updates. But you need different flashplayers for each browser. They are all different. The one for IE 7 does not work for Firefox. You need the one that goes with each browser.
