Adobe Flash Player problem (please help!)

[Cassidy624]

About a week or two ago, I lost Adobe Flash Player on my laptop.  I have no idea how this happened.  I went on to the Adobe website to try and re-install it.  However, the Adobe download manager says that Flash Player was downloaded successfully, but no flash content shows after that.  I have tried manually installing it, following all of the trubleshooting instructions, and even uninstalling it and reinstalling it again.  Nothing has worked.  It just keeps saying that it was installed successfully, but still no flash content shows.  Are there any other ways to fix this?  I would really appreciate some help.

I had that same problem. I don't remember exactly how did I fix it. What I did is

Code: [Select]

Go to Tools
Then Manage Add-Ons
Then Click Toolbars and Extensions
Then Click All add-ons
Then Rite-Click Shockwave Flash Object And click Enable
Then Click ClosGood Luck.

What browser are you using?

[Cassidy624]

internet explorer.

[JJ 3000]

Are you using 32 bit or 64 bit Windows 7?
If you're not sure which one you have, you can click start, then right click computer and select properties.

[Cassidy624]

64 bit.

What version of IE and is it 64 bit version or 32 bit?

[Cassidy624]

i'm not sure what version of internet explorer, but it's 64 bit.

Why not use the 32 bit IE like most people do? It is more compatible.

[Cassidy624]

is there a way to switch to 32 bit?

The 32-bit IE was your default browser unless you changed it.

go to this folder...

C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer

highight this program which is in it...

iexplore.exe

right click, drag to the desktop and choose "create shortcut here"

Delete/ignore any other shortcuts which you may have lying around

i'm not sure what version of internet explorer, but it's 64 bit.

To find it go to Help > About Internet Explorer. Flash Player does not work with 64 bit browsers at the minute so, you use the standard IE.

i went on that website, and it still didn't work.  i went on the iexplore, uninstalled an re-installed flash, restarting after both, and it still didn't work.
