same thing. please help.i've even tried changing the security settings and nothing. im usingmozilla and vista

If you have a PC and are using Firefox, Installing Adobe Flash Player goes as follows.

1. Go into tools and click Add-ons

2. Disable Adobe Acrobat3. Go to the Adobe.com and download Adobe Flash Player

4. Close Firefox completely

5. Install Adobe Flash Player normally

6. Go into Firefox and repeat steps 1 and 2 this time Enable Adobe Acrobat.

Adobe Flash Player should now work.

Adobe, i think but couldn't find it. Adobe was working 3 weeks ago, but now it won't load too tell me it was

successfully downloaded, so when i try going to limewire, or youtube i can't watch any videos without it

saying JavaScript is currently turned off, try turning it back on or download the new adobe flash player x 10.

If you have a previous version of Adobe Flash player installed on your system, you must firstunisntall the previous. To this you can go to the Adobe Website and download the unistallprogram.

Go here to download:http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html?promoid=DTEGO

Save the unistall progam to your desktop and close all programs.*Be sure to close all messenger programs as well as the browser before running the uninstallprogram.

Once you have uninstalled the flash player, you can then install the Adobe Flash player.Go here to download the latest version of Adobe flashplayer:http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Good Luck!

go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/and choose the other versions

VISTA/XP option, Firefox will be listed as well, and download that version of Adobe Flash

Player...you'll have to do it from Explorer though, with Firefox closed.

This worked for me (Vista + Firefox user) after getting the NPSWF32.dll error:

1) Close all browsers

2) Go to your c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash folder

3) rename "NPSWF32.dll" to "NPSWF32.old"

4) Install and test

The newer versions of windows Vista may be 64 bit and flash player is not supported at or

below Adobe flash player 9, player 10 is supported. Most newer computers that have both

INTERNET EXPLORER 64 bit, AND INTERNET EXPLORER 32 bit installed. Go to the start menu

on the task bar open all programs and you will see Internet Explorer, and if its installed

Internet Explorer (64) bit icons. Select Internet Explorer if you view youtube or the like and it

will A. download B. play your videos.

I have struck this problem many times and it has sent me insane Luckily my hair is already

grey.

Here are the steps i now use with 100% success.(12 times out of 12)

Run regedit

Search the registry(CTRL F) for flash (put a space after the word flash)

The first key it finds, try and delete and you will find it does not allow you to.

Which is why the install fails because it cant overwrite the key.

Right click the key and click on permissions.

Select either the everyone logon or domain users if you are on a network and give them full

permisions. Click advanced select the box for replace permission entries and apply.

You should now be able to delete the key.

Press F3 to search again and repeat the above for the second key found.

Flash will now install.

Hello guys, I have found a fix that works for Google Chromeand FireFox. First uninstall Flash

Player, go to "Start", "Control Panel", "Add or Remove Programs", then finally remove Adobe

Flash Player 10. After that, close ALLwindows. Now, go in yourInternet Explorerbrowser. Go

here - http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

Just copy and paste it to your Internet Explorer browser. Next, click on Windows 7/

Vista/XP/2008/2003/2000. Then circle the "Flash Player 10 for Windows - Other Broswers".

Run and install. Hopefully when you go into Google Chrome or Firefox this works for you,

thank you for reading.

Things you could have done wrong -1. You didn't use Internet Explorer

2. Didn't close EVERY other window.

I also couldn't get Adobe Flash to install on a new Windows 7 computer. At first, I got an

"unable to register" error. I followed the instructions posted here to install and run Microsoft's

SubInACL program, and that error went away but it still wouldn't install. I tried uninstalling

and reinstalling multiple times (including running the installer with Administrator privileges),

and tried installing from IE and FireFox. It would say it installed successfully, but still wouldn't

run. When I'd visit the Adobe's web site it would say I still needed to install Flash.

I submitted a trouble ticket to Adobe and got a quick response. They had me do the

following:

In Internet Explorer 8 click on Tools then Internet options then the Advanced tab then choose

"Reset Internet Explorer settings".

Download and run install_flash_player_10_active_x.exe from Adobe

Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash (may be a different path if you're on the

64-bit version)

Right-click FlashUtil10d.exe (you might have a different version), click the Compatibility tab

and select "Run as Administrator." Click OK and run the program.

That did it. The difference must have been the first step - resetting IE. I had tried all the other

steps repeatedly.

I was having the same problem, kept trying to download/install it with firefox but it always

failed. Tried all sorts and kept failing. Till now!

All I did was uninstall firefox, than opened up IE and downloaded adobe flash player 10 (for

IE). Installed fine, videos work. Then I renistalled firefox, didn't need to download flash player

again. Everything working fine straight away. So might want to try that. Hope it helps.

Thanks, your advice was the only thing that worked for me.(Vista+Mozilla) I would have never thought it on

my own. Cheers:)

Here is what I have to do everytime there is a new version of FlashPlayer available and it

won't work with IE8. I have to drill down to c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\ and while

online click on the latest FlashUtil10d.exe file. It downloads and install the flash player again

and everthing works fine after that until the next flash upgrade. I also deleted any old flashutil

exe files and uninstall activeX exe files located in that folder, as there were a few older

versions. To answer questions about firefox, flashplayer had no problems working with firefox,

but would not work with IE8. I run winXP home edition. Hope this helps and if it does, could

someone post this answer to other forums cause when I searched for a fix on this problem I

never found the proper answer. Reason I'm asking is that I'm on dialup still and it takes me

forever to get from point A to B.
