Flash 9 Installed but not detected


Flash 9 Installed but not detected Kat0526

macromedia players flash:
I have installed flash player 9 on my computer. according to adobe's website
it's installed however any time i go to a website requiring flash it says that
i need to download flash player 9. i have tried to uninstall and reinstall
several times yet the same symptoms occur. the weird thing is that there are
two user accounts on my computer. one of them has no problem with flash and
the other account does. i've tried setting up a new user account to see if
flash would work on another account and it will not. all of the user accounts
have administrator rights. i am really confused at this point and don't know
what else to try. i am also running ie7 and this problem didn't start until i
downloaded ie7. it seems that there are a lot of people out there having
trouble with flash 9 and ie7. i have tried to email adobe about the issue but
i have not heard back from them. does anyone have any suggestions. thanks for
your help in advance!

Same problem here. What site is causing the problem? I was using an old
computer running Windows XP SP2 Home and just discovered Youtube. Really
enjoyed it. Now I got a new computer with Windows XP Pro SP2 and can't get
Youtube to work. This happened with the Macromedia version and with the Adobe
FlashPlayer. Also, I'm using IE6.

Is anyone listening to us? Can you hear us now, Adobe?!

I am having the EXACT same problem. I try and reload but it says I already have
it... and can't do anything with YouTube or MSN or Comcast...

This is irratating. Did anyone get a solution, by chance? Or is everyone just
asking questions?

Whoah, looks like the flash issue I was having ISN'T limited to just me and my
customer and collegues. I was able to unistall it, but all I could find to
reisntall was flash 9 since all the popular sites are using it. Anyone
experiencing crashes with flash 9?

Add me to the list of frustrated IE and Adobe Flash Player users. When I go to
Adobe and download the newest version of Flash Player, it says that it is
installed. But various websites i.e. youtube, Cadillac, Home Depot all say I
need the newest version of Flash Player. I have tried to delete what is on my
machine but can't even find it in Add/Delete list on Control Panel! What
gives? I use Road Runner and their home page is flash and I can view videos on
the homepage?? Can they be running on another program such as RealPlayer? I
am sooo frustrated because of not being able to view so many sites while paying
a premium for Road Runner. Are you listening Adobe??? Can you hear me now????

I emailed adobe about this issue sometime last week. I have not heard a
response. I called Microsoft's IE7 help number and they are trying to help me,
but have yet to come up with an answer. They think that my user accounts were
corrupted some how. I told them that doesn't make sense; when I create a new
user account I cannot add flash player 9. They said they would research the
issue and get back to me. If they come up with a solution I will let you know.
I'm starting to think that it's not an IE7 issue, but an issue with Adobe
Flash player 9, but since I haven't received a response from Adobe, I really
can't say. I think Flash Player 9 may have corrupted my whole computer and I
will probably have to start from scratch and re-build it. I will let you guys
know if I find a solution before it comes to that. I know this stinks, but I'm
glad it's not just me having problems.

Well, I have figured out that it is just youtube.com... but not youtube videos
on other sites.

That is to say that I cannot watch youtube.com files ON youtube.com, but if
the videos are imported onto other sites, I don't have a problem. Music videos
and other media are working... but youtube.com isn't. Can anyone help. PLEASE!
OR JUST SHOW YOU KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM!

Sheesh.

Hello there, just registered here.
We have a serious incompatibility with IE 7 and Adobe FP 9 here!
Even when downloaded to HD and IE being closed, FP9 will install _silently_
but not work afterwards!

IE5.5 had this bug, IE 6 has it too and IE 7 hasn't it got fixed yet: the zone
bug.
I added adobe.com to Trusted Sites zone, set security to LOW (!) and really
enabled each and everything, so as if I wanted to create a huge security hole
in my PC. Went to adobe.com, tried to install flash player, but the install
prompt "Do you want to run ...?" did NOT appear.
So I removed Adobe.com from Trusted sites, closed every other IE window, put
my system in serious security danger by enabling unsigned ActiveX for Internet
(!) Zone, but voila, this time it worked!!!
Trusted Sites zone seems to have a bug that no matter how insecurely you
adjust your system, yet some ActiveX controls won't get installed.

Just want to add that I have the same problem with IE7 and flash 9. If I want

let us know when there is a fix.

Thanks

I've been having the same problem, too. But, what I finally "noticed" today
(after removing Flash for the umpteenth time) was... when the flash player was
being installed, it was automatically installing to Netscape (my default
browser) and NOT Internet Explorer (I use both). Oddly enough, although
Netscape is my default browser, I use IE most times.

Sooooooooooooooo, I decided to try the following....

In my Netscape 7.2 Plug Ins folder were 3 icons for Flash. I copied and
pasted them into Internet Explorer's (Ver 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2) Plug Ins
folder.

Restarted PC
Visited adobe.com and page info indicated Flash Player was successfully
downloaded and installed. It appears to be working fine now.

Hope this helps.

Good luck,

Hi abraxas, thanks for your reply. Sorry my solution didn't help you.

Something tells me the answer is so obvious we've all missed it.

Did you check to see if "Set Program Access and Defaults" settings have not
changed?

You can place in on the list.
So today I decided to upgrade my IE6 to IE7. Went to Youtube and could not
see the video. So I decided to upgraded the Adobe Flash Player. Yet youtube
keeps informing me that I don't have it and to install it in order to watch the
video.
So for the umpteenth time of installing and uninstalling I still get nothing!
So I downloaded the Adobe Flash Player 9.0.21.75 Beta and still it doesn't
work.
I have Windows XP? I thought for one minute that it was something to do with
the programs that I deleted today but the only programs I delete was:
Google Earth,Adobe Photoshop 7.0, and Microsoft Money 2004.
So have anyone found a solution to this problem?

Go to http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/ download the uninstall
utility and run it. Reboot your machine, make sure you have activeX controls
enabled in your brower, (see Flash Player install notes if you need some
guidance). Reinstall Flash player and reboot your machine. This should take
care of most issues in this string.

I also was using IE 6, then I tried IE 7 and was having the same problem. I
would uninstall 7, went back to 6, retried 7 again...so forth.

Everything seems to be working fine after I re-installed IE7 and Flash Player
9.

I'm using IE 7 v. 7.0.5730.11 and Flash Player v. 9,0,16,0.

Update IE 7 to the current version mentioned above and try the following, it
helped me to get Flash Player 9 working:

Issue
After you complete the installation of the Flash Player ActiveX control in
Internet Explorer for Windows, the post-installation test page shows a
quotation mark (") where the test Flash movie should be. When you attempt to
view other Flash content in Internet Explorer for Windows, you also see this
missing content icon.

Reason
If you previously installed a later version of Flash, you may be prevented
from reinstalling that same version or an earlier version. For example, if,
while testing, you installed Flash Player 9,0,16,0, and then removed it,
further installations of that same version may appear to complete but are not
functional. This issue can cause the display of a quotation mark (") at the end
of the installation where the Flash Player confirmation movie should appear.

Solution


Warning : The following solution involves the Windows System Registry. Editing
or manipulating the registry incorrectly can result in serious system damage,
which may require reinstallation of the operating system. If you are not
comfortable editing the registry then it's best to take your machine to a
professional. If you choose to proceed, it is essential to create a complete
system backup and a Windows System Restore Point before proceeding. Adobe
Systems cannot be held responsible for damage resulting from this information.

To test for and resolve this issue:

Choose Start > Run.
Type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK to start the Windows Registry
Editor.
Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer\SafeVersions
Right-click and delete the folder named Safe Versions.
Using Internet Explorer for Windows, reinstall Flash Player 9 from the Flash
Player Download page on the Adobe website at www.adobe.com/go/getFlashPlayer.

I hope this helps.

I am having the same issue, after 2 weeks I finally got a response from someone
at Adobe- their response is below, I tried it.. didn't work for me, maybe it
will work for someone else.

With regard to your query, I suggest that you download and run our
latest uninstaller
http://www.adobe.com/go/14157

Then download the exe installer:
http://www.adobe.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_ie

It is recommended that you temporarily disable your Antivirus, as it may
interfere with the installation process.

Verify if Flash player is working by going to this link.
http://www.adobe.com/go/15507

If the above does not work, please ensure that you are running the
installation as admin or as user with full permissions. If you are
running on a restricted
account, you may need to edit your system registry and allow certain
entries to make Flash player work.
http://www.adobe.com/go/19148

If you are running Windows XP service pack 2, there are certain settings
that block Flash ActiveX. Try the technotes below:
http://www.adobe.com/go/19479
http://www.adobe.com/go/19482

In case the above steps does not work or you do not wish to alter your
system configuration. You can try non-ActiveX browsers such as Firefox
or Netscape.
Flash player should work fine there.

Hope the above is of help.

I had the same problem, did everything mentioned on the Adobe website,
re-applied SP2 and more. Flash worked well in Firefox and Opera.

The problem was solved by the registering flash from a command prompt,
see below:

regsvr32 C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9.ocx

I saw this tip in another message for returning to a previous version
and tried it on flash9...with good results.

Hope this helps.

Please give this a try. 5 out of the 6 including myself in this forum and other
threads have tried it and it has worked. It is a standalone install of
flashplayer 9.0.28.0. I opens the usual security box that shows it is a
macromedia.com file. when I installed I had unistalled any FP that I had and I
had Shockwave 10.9 installed. I think there is a co relationship between SW and
FP some how. It is for IE only. I have IE6 and dial up and FP now works with no
issues.

:disgust; First, get rid of IE7 via control panel - ad/remove programs, etcc..
As much as I like the tab feature and options improvements, it is NOT worth it.
Now for the fix (at leasr for youtube.com and vh1.com):
On http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=d9c2fe33 , you?ll
find a link to download Flash Player 7r68.
?Windows Flash Player, Internet Explorer: Download (571 K) ?
This link gives you an option to save the file. Save it to your HD and then
open, run and , wala. Fixed!
I don?t know if it?s IE7 or Flash 9, but the combo definitely is awful.

Ok I solved this by getting rid of Shockwave... first off I couldn't even

installed and seems to be working so far. Just got to work out how I can view
Shockwave sites without using Shockwave now!!

Hi, I had the same problems. I tried everything and am just short of

It's not a complete answer but hey, it works! I've been trying it with the
Internet Explorer browser. TRY installing the NETSCAPE browser. It's free. I
tried it - it works! I didn't even have to reinstall the flash player. It
read it from all my previous tries. Good luck, Regan
Re: Flash 9 Installed but not detected Jeckyl

That's not a solution to the problem, its just avoiding it and hiding the
symptoms. Obviously, using IE will avoid problems with Netscape and
Firefox, using Firefox will avoid problems with IE and Netscape etc etc.

Probably another anti-MS fanatic wanting to promote their favorite minority
browser :)

Well, I have been having the same problem with the darn flash player. I
finally found this forum and read through it. Someone said that when they
downloaded flash it was going to their netscape browser even though netscape
was not their default browswer so I went through my programs and tried
lifetimetv.com/games with my Mozilla foxfire browser and it recgonizes the
active x. It is not my default browser but I guess I am going to make it my
default browser. I am tired of fooling with this darn problem. Hope this

I think I finally have a solution to this problem. It's been annoying me for
the past few months. I'm 13 and like to use some of my spare time watching
videos on YouTube. Then one day it told me that Flash Player 9 needed to be
installed. So I did that and from then on I couldn't view Flash anywhere. It
kept telling me I had to install Flash Player. I kept on trying to find a way
to fix it and tried all the stuff mentioned here but nothing worked for me.
Then I found this complete standalone installer that finally fixed the problem
! This is what you should do...

1. Download the un-installer and un-install Flash Player.

2. Then restart your computer.

3. Go to the Adobe website and install Flash Player again. The address is
below.


http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl
ash&promoid=BIOW


4. Next, download the standalone installer. It can be found from this
address, just copy and paste it into your browser.

http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_f
lash_player_active_x.msi

5. Done ! Go and check whatever you wanted to play to see if Flash works
again.

I hope this helps some people, it sure helped me.

Re: Flash 9 Installed but not detected TechWtr
1/4/2007 2:37:02 AM
The install process for the new 9.0 release of Flash Player, unlike that of
previous releases, does NOT grant all users appropriate access to the various
Flash registry items. It grants access ONLY to the administrative user who
performs the install.

Thus, ALL other users on the same machine can NOT even USE Flash Player 9.0.
(That is, most web sites won't recognize that it's been installed.) I used
Adobe's uninstall program to remove those registry items (the uninstall must be
run by the administrative user who installed Flash Player 9, NOT by any other
administrative user), and was able to install Flash Player 9.0 using a
different administrative account than the original one I used, but this means
the original administrative user no longer has access to Flash Player.

This is NOT true of Flash Player 8.0, which is installed on our other two
machines and works fine with multiple users because the Flash registry items
all have appropriate access for all users, access granted by the Flash Player
8.0 install. (That is, any administrative user can update Flash Player 8.0 and
any limited user can USE Flash Player 8.0.)

Let's be clear about this. If you view any of the Flash Player registry items
after 9.0 is installed, only one user has ANY rights to the registry items.
Other users, including administrative users, cannot even VIEW the registry
items.

For Flash Player 9.0 to be designed so that its install grants access to the
Flash registry items to just a single user, and thereby makes Flash Player
unusable for all other users on the same machine, is a step backward from
previous releases and a fundamental flaw that needs addressing.

:beer; This problem has bugged me in the past and I have discovered one
solution that may help. First, a little history: I upgraded from Flash Player 8
to 9 in 2006 and, though installed properly, it would not show flash content at
my ISP's home page. Screwing around with some other applications, it began
working as advertised. Earlier this month, I removed a small application (not
related to Flash Player 9) from my PC and FP9 quit working again. Doing some
detective work, I discovered that it is related to VB script issues (these do
NOT show up in the Windows "Events" file! "Start + Administrative Tools +
Events"). This is how I discovered what happened to me and what you might do
to get FP9 working again:

I downloaded the MicroSoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) tool at:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/mbsahome.mspx

(I highly recommend this program for an occasional check-up for your Windows
PC)

I ran the program and it "hung." Reviewing the "Event" log, I discovered the
"Error Code: 2738" associated with the MBSA failure. Searching the Internet, I
discovered that this error is a VBScript run time error (see:
http://www.appdeploy.com/msierrors/detail.asp?id=273). Using the link at this
web-site will send you to - ugh - MicroSofts Windows Script 5.6 web site
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C717D943-7E4B-4622-86E
B-95A22B832CAA&displaylang=en).

To fix your FP9 problem, simply download and install this VB scripting program
and you will probably see your FP9 problem fixed! If it doesn't work, use
Adobe's Flash Player removal tool
(http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14157) then
reinstall FP9 (make sure you follow ALL their instructions doing this. Reboot
and use a Registry Cleanup tool to make sure everything is clean -
http://iobit.com/AdvancedWindowsCarePersonal/index.html). Then reinstall
Windows Script 5.6. If this still doesn't work, then you're on your own.

I can verify that the registry problems explains by TechWtr are likely the
cause. I downloaded the uninstaller and reinstalled, and it works fine in IE7
only when logged in under the admin account that installed it, just as TechWtr
said. You'd think by now big companies like Adobe would have a grasp on
microsoft user accounts and get with the program, but apparently we are all
still expected to run everything under one insecure admin account aka the days
of windows 95. i'll wait for the patch instead of mucking up my registry.

Wasn't going to take the time to fill out the info in order to reply, but felt
others may benefit. I too, have had many of the same problems with Flash 9.
I uninstalled it, reinstalled it, uninstalled Shockwave, tried to install Flash
9 again, rebooted my computer I don't know how many times, followed all
instructions on Adobe support, tried a few of the other suggestions on this
forum, took it to a computer science grad, etc. etc. and nothing worked. On
November 20, Reproman66 posted a link for a standalone install of Flash 9.
Thanks!!!! In the span of 1 minute I had Flash 9 installed!

I tried it and during the installation I have this message :
Error 1904 Module
C:\WINNT\System32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx failed to register. HRESULT
-2147220473.
Contact your support personnel.

ahahahaha... so can someone be my support personnel and tell what to do please
? :)
I won't live without Flash Player :'(

I was having the same problem and even posted in a few forums without
luck. Today I was trying to install iTunes and I received an error
message:

"iTunes could not be installed because Visual Basic Script
(VBScript) is not installed or has been disabled. Make
sure VBScript is installed, turn off script blocking in
anti-virus and personal firewall software, re-register
VBScript, and then install iTunes."

I found the solution for that problem and is turns out I finally found
a solution for my problem with FLASH too. Maybe it tries to detect the
Flash application using VBscript and somehow when I updated my windows
one of the programs disabled it or unistalled the right version. I
followed these steps:

1- Downloaded the latest version of vbscript at:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c717d943-7e4b-4622-86eb-95a22b832caa&DisplayLang=en

2- Then I followed a suggestion from one of the post:

go to start press run....type: regsvr32 vbscript.dll

I dont know which one did it for me because I did both before testing
with a site that i had troubles with www.toyota.com

After I followed these steps I was able to install iTunes and see the
toyota site. Hope it works for you!
