Please help me update my adobe flash plater so can watch videos on computer

Check for updates or just update adoe flash player
Adobe Flash Player allows users to view videos made with Flash, a common online video format that can be viewed by both Mac and PC users.

Because technology is consistently emerging, Adobe frequently updates its Flash player. Downloading an update is free, and may be required in order to watch videos online.

You will need at least 128 MB of RAM available on your computer to update Flash player, and Internet Explorer version 6.0 or later for Windows XP, version 7.0 or later for Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 8.0 or later for Windows 7.

Open Internet Explorer and navigate to Adobe's Flash player download site.
Click the download link and follow the instructions on your screen.


Click "Allow" or "Install" if your security system asks if you want to download the file.
Avoid running other programs while the download is going on.

Flash player tests itself by showing you a brief video when the download is complete.
If you do not see this video, the player has not been successfully installed and you must try the download again.

Adobe Flash Player is a cross-platform browser-based application runtime.

Hello,

Which video are you trying to view?

If it's in your internet browser like youtube then update flash player. Go to adobe.com and look for adobe flash player update.

If any video freezes, then you might have an outdated video driver or some other drivers in your computer. Updating the drivers can do the trick. To cover all drivers, install RadarSync. It will scan and update all outdated drivers.

Well Sunkengarden, the videos you are watching on YouTube or any such websites are the Flash Player Applications. That means, the Browser on which you are trying watch the videos, needs Flash Player Application to be installed on your computer. Such traditionally most widely used flash players are Adobe Flash Player and Microsoft Silverlight.
While you are using Google Chrome, there is no problem just because of Google Chrome already have in-built flash player within it. But the problem remains for IE or other Browsers.
Different Web-Browsers use different types of Adobe Flash Players (IE type or Non-IE type). So, for best results, I recommend you to install both the IE and Non-IE Adobe Flash Players on your computer to have all the browsers play the videos without any problem.
Download the Flash Players by clicking on the following links:

• Adobe Flash Player for IE (IE, Avant,etc)
• Adobe Flash Player for Non-IE (Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox and other Geeko based browsers)

Hope this helps,
Regards, Mrityunjay.

If your not using google chrome internet explorer or Firefox or seafare you should be! Also update your flash player that should fix it.

Go to adobe.com update what it is you need to update. But on linux you might have to find one for linux it self because if i remember correctly when i did update it still told me same thing so i had to search google for a linux version of adobe updater.
Then it properly worked after that so you might need to do some searching for linux also helping you would join the linux forums... or something where everyone is using linux same as you so you can get help as well.

Hi,

Videos on YouTube are streamed through Adobe Flash player. If you're having trouble playing and viewing videos YouTube, we suggest you install the latest version of the Flash player: this will allow you to easily play YouTube videos.
Here's how to upgrade to the most recent version of Adobe's Flash Player:

1. Before installing the most recent version of Adobe Flash player, you will need to first uninstall any older versions of the Flash player you've installed in the past and currently have running on your computer.
   
   Please completely uninstall the version of Flash you're currently running, before upgrading to the most recent version. To uninstall Flash, follow Adobe's instructions, listed here. You'll need to download Adobe's official Uninstaller to remove Flash.
   
   
2. Once you've uninstalled the older version of Flash, you'll be ready to upgrade to the most recent version of Flash.
   To upgrade to the most recent version of the Flash player, please follow these steps:
   
   
   1. Follow Adobe's instructions for reinstalling the most recent version of Flash.
      
   2. Once you've downloaded the latest version of Adobe Flash, please exit your browser.
   3. Finally, click to install the update that you just downloaded to your computer from the Adobe Flash site.
      Once you've done so, open your browser again and go to YouTube. You should now be able so successfully watch videos!
   
   

If the instructions above don't resolve the issue, please also try the following:

1. Temporarily disable popup blocking software installed on your computer to test.
2. Allow YouTube.com as a trusted site in your Firewall software.
3. Ensure other applications like Quicktime, iTunes, Real Player, or Windows Media Player aren't set as the default streaming application, as this might affect the video player.

For Windows Vista users:
If the Flash uninstall / reinstall does not work this maybe due to a Microsoft Windows Vista permissions issue.

• Go to: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\.
• Right-click on the following file: FlashUtil9b.exe or FlashUtil9e.exe.
