Stupid flashplayer install!

[patches1975]

I need help and i am about to throw this computer out the window.  I have searched and searched and enabled and disabled, installed and uninstalled till I am blue in the face.  I just got rid of Mozilla and  installed Chrome now, I still get this black screen of nothing,  I can't do certain things because its no longer updated!

What can I do to update and get rid of this window that sits and does NOTHING

I'm getting the same problem.  I have a bran new system.   But to help you're problem about getting rid of the black screen window that does nothing:  hit Ctl+Alt+Delete at the same time, This should bring up the windows task manager.  Under applications you should find that window from flash, click on it and hit the End Task button at the bottom.  You may have to do this more than once, but it will work.    Now here is what I do know about this problem with my system, it's not only a problem for fox, but for internet explorer too.  I have only uploaded all the latest programs, Windows 7 (I didn't want windows 8),  Confirmed Java is up and running. Not sure how to resolve this issue, still searching.

Wizzarin, I have the same exact problem. Have you resolved it?  I see the response below to you , but I have tried so many different ways of installing, I am thinking it is a setting in my new pc.  It's win7, Java is running, shockwave too.  I am going mad!

For Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher, Flash Player is a built-in component of the browser.  There's nothing to do.  This is the same for Google Chrome.

For NPAPI browsers like Firefox, if you're not having success with the standard installer from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer, please try the offline installer:

Check out the video troubleshooting guide.  In particular, I'm curious to know if this replicates with Hardware Acceleration disabled.

Video playback issues

Ok i could see the non-HTML5 video just fine

Solve video playback issues- i can't even see the flash player logo.

For Windows Users- i'm gonna email my report to adobe. i'm not even sure i filled out everything right.

i got all the way to step 10 & i wasn't able to click on change settings. I thought it was already disabled. i don't remember how i disabled it tho. i know it wasn't using those steps.

Might want to take a look at my posting:

This blog also has information on a scripted clean install of the flash player install as scripted per this video on the adobe site (Win7) :  Adobe Flash - script for complete uninstall, clean up and re-install

How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?

The process is all done in BAT file and simplifies this whole process. It is located under the step by step section on my blog under step one.

For whatever reason adobe says do not delete the old flash player files on Windows 8 , i have no idea why as windows 7 and 8 files structure is the same. anyways they should just be recreated... maybe someone who is technically savvy could test unless someone from Adobe wants to chime in on this explanation

Hope this helps
