Question

FP won't work on several websites

Hi !

To begin, I'm french, so sorry for any language mistakes I may make.

I've a very annoying problem with Flash Player. It works on certain websites and won't work on others. For example, I can play a Youtube Video but not a Dailymotion video, or I can't access to my Deezer playlists (really annoying !!).

I'm running Windows Seven Ultimate 32 bits.

I've already read the 15 first pages of this forum, finding some problems that look like mine... but none of the solutions exposed solved my problem.

When I right clik on a Flash content, then "settings" (in french "paramètres"), I can change settings but they are not saved when I close the pop-up. So I can't disable hardware acceleration, can't set storage settings to "unlimited" (always on "none", in french "aucun"). I think the problem is here.

I've tried to uninstall/reboot/reinstall FP more than 20 times...

I've disabled any Antivirus, firewall than could block FP.

I've tried this solution : http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html

I've also tried to remove files from %APPDATA%/Macromedia/ (but I haven't found the other folder : %APPDATA%/Adobe/Flash Player)

Any other solution that can solve my problem ? I'me really fed up by that !!

Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    UAC is turned off on my computer. It does not solve the problem.

    Hi,

    I've just tried it. Doesn't work.

    I think it is a permission problem, or maybe a software which is blocking flash player... but I've already tried all that may block it.

    Really annoying >_<

    In all cases, thx for your help.

    If you have another solution, I will be happy to try it !

    The new upgrade does not work properly unless you are using an Admin account with UAC turned off.

    Good morning !

    I still can't change these settings. The problems appears on all of my browsers (Firefox, Chrome, IE, Opera). The settings aren't saved !

    Maybe the setting files for Flash Player are corrupted ? How could I manually change these settings ?

    Thanks.

    Flash Player settings not saved, this can be solved with this procedure

    • close all browser windows, then open Windows Explorer
    • in the address bar type %appdata%\Adobe
    • delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there
    • in the address bar type %appdata%\Macromedia
    • delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there
    • close Windows Explorer and try again

    Hi !

    Thx for your answer.

    You say you've made some changes to your Flash storage. How did you do that ?

    I can't change any parameter with this setting pop-up.

    I get to it using my browser, Chrome.  Options->Under The Hood->content Settings-.Cookies->Adobe Flash Player Settings (which is a link at the bottom of that dialog).  Clicking on that link brings up this page, with which I adjusted my settings, http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html

    IE may use something different, since IE uses an ActiveX control for Flash, not a .dll as does Chrome, Firefox and most others.

    I solved a similar problem, though not completely to my satisfaction.

    I made some changes to my Flash storage and security settings that prevented Flash from working on many web sites.  Although I changed the settings back, I thought, I couldn't recover Flash's operation.  I uninstalled then reinstalled to no avail.  Finally, I cleared my browser's cache, closed it and restarted it, and that worked at last.

    What's not to my satisfaction is that now my Flash settings are too insecure, and, in order to restrict them, I'll have to go through this exercise again.
