Cannot download adobe flash player

1) Check the settings of your anti-virus program. A lot of times an anti-virus program will not let a program download.

2) The main thing with Adobe Flash Player, is that it will NOT install a new version of Flash Player; with an old version present.

And it will NOT automatically delete the old version.

Use the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller tool.
Then go back to Adobe Flash Player Support, and download AND install the newest version of Adobe Flash Player.

Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller tool,

http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

Go down to the bottom of the page, where it states in bold print -
Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller
Click on the blue - Tech note - in the paragraph.

Takes you to here,

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

Scroll down to -
1. Download the uninstaller for Flash Player
Click on the blue - uninstaller - underneath the above heading. [Uninstaller (674KB) ]

A small window will come up. Click on Save File.
A small download window will come up.
Allow the file to fully download, then DOUBLE-click right on the file name.

At the bottom of the next 3 small windows, click on Next, Next, and Finish.
If you are not asked to restart your computer, do so.

When Windows loads back up again, go back to Adobe Flash Player Support, download and install the newest version of Adobe Flash Player.

1) Make sure your Adobe Flash Player is up to date,

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

[ Advise click on the small square to the left of -
Yes, install McAfee Security Scan Plus - optional
,and remove the green checkmark. THEN click on Download now ]

Be advised though, sometimes the new Adobe Flash Player download, will not automatically remove the old Adobe Flash Player version that is installed; and the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller Tool is needed.

Go to the bottom of this page. Under the bold subheading -
Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller - click on the blue - Tech Note.

On the following page go down to the subheading -

When you are finished with the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller, close all windows, restart the computer.
Now go back to Adobe Flash Player Support, and download the new Adobe Flash Player.


2) Make sure your Java is up to date,

Installing adobe flash player is very simple. First you need to check if your computer is compatible with it. Go to the website then you click on downloads, you will see adobe flash player by the lower right side of the screen, then you click on the adobe flash player, then click on system requirements, you ensure that your computer has the requirements that will support the downloading of the adobe flash player. Once your computer meets the requirements, then you click on download from the download page. After downloading, then you search for it from your downloads and double click on its run or auto run, then it will install on your system.

Adobe Flash Player

What they do not tell you (Adobe), is that when you go to install the latest version of Flash Player, it Does Not automatically delete the older version.

The new version will not install if an older version is present.

Download, Install, and use the Adobe Flash Player Uninstall Tool.
(From Adobe.com)

Restart your computer.

Then go back to the Adobe Flash Player download page, download and install the latest version.
Restart your computer once more.

(No, going into Add/Remove Programs doesn't net you anything)


This is the Adobe Flash Player Uninstall Tool download page,

http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

Yep. Same as the latest version page.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page.

Under the heading > Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller Tech Note

Takes you to this page,

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html

Go down to Number 1.
Left-click on the blue > uninstall_flash_player.exe, and click right on it.

A small window will come up > Opening uninstall_flash_player.exe
Click on Save File

Another small window will come up.
Very quickly look at the heading at the Top of the window.
This is where the file will download to.
Write it down.

In the heading at the top it may have;
1) Desktop
or
2) My Documents {Documents for Vista}
or
3) Downloads

If there is Desktop in the heading the file will download to your desktop screen

My Documents? Click on Start > My Documents

Downloads? Click on Start > My Documents > Double-click on > Downloads

When you see the file name > uninstall_flash_player.exe, Double-click on it.

Follow the easy instructions.

After it has installed run the Uninstaller.
Once the Uninstaller has finished, restart your computer.

Now go back to Adobe Flash Player Support, and download the latest version.
At the top right of the page click on the white > f in the Red square.

After the latest version of Adobe Flash Player has installed, restart your computer.

You can download Adobe Flash Player from here (Click Here). It's not actually a player, but a plug-in which is important to play Youtube Videos and other multimedia contents on the internet.

You may also need Adobe AIR (Click Here).
Or Adobe ShockWave (Click Here).

If you need further help, let me know with more details.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

You probably need the newest version of Adobe Flash Player for those websites.

Yes, I read where you downloaded it, but there is a flaw.

Adobe Flash Player will NOT uninstall the old version. Therefore it won't use the new version until the old version is removed. Adobe Flash Player does Not remove the old version automatically. (As many other programs do)

YOU have to manually remove the old version, before you can install the new version.

Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller.

http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

Yep. Same place as the Adobe Flash Player new version.
Adobe Flash Player Support Center.

Go to the bottom of the page.
Under the heading Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller, you will see Tech Note in blue.
Click on it.

Or this is the page it takes you to. (I just wanted you to see how to find it)

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html

To the right of number 1, click on the blue - uninstall_flash_player.exe
I would set it so that it goes to your desktop screen. Much easier to find.

After the file has downloaded, go to your desktop screen.
Double-click right on the file name.
Install it.

Now run the file.
Restart your computer.
Go back to the Adobe Flash Player Support Center, and download the latest version.
Install it.
Restart your computer.

Let me know how that works in a Comment.
