Help... New Flash Player not showing in programs

Feb 20, 2011 6:35 PM

I have tried everything... I have downloaded, installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled again, and flash player is not showing in my programs.  I can only get it in files, and It does not work.  I am not able to see anything that requires Flash Player 10.2.  I have check to ensure I am using 32 bit, I am at a complete loss.  Please help!  Thanks

    What is your operating system & version?

     

    What is your web browser & version?

     

    What means "not able" - do you get any errors, or what exactly are your symptoms?

    I have Windows 7, Internet Explorer.  The download and Install say complete, but I am not able to find it in my programs.  When i go to video that requires flash player it does not show that I have it.  I am not sure what I am doing wrong.  I am not getting any error messages, but it appears as if it isn't installed even though it states install complete.

    The standard Flash Player is a browser add-on, not a standalone program, so you will not find it in your Porgrams folder.

     

    On Internet Explorer, Tools | Add-ons, can you see Shockwave Flash object, and is it enabled?

     

    Also, is your Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit?  If 64-bit, do you use the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer?

    it is not showing as a browser add on either.  When I followed your instructions Shockwave Flash object is not listed under the tools.  It is a 64 bit,

    Can you check if you have the "kill-bit" for Flash Player set in your registry: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3432049#3432049 ?

     

    If yes, don't fix it manually - I can give you an easier way to remove it.

     

    Still, do you use the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Internet Explorer?
