Hi all.

I have a very rare issue with flash player.

First some information:

I'm using Windows Vista 64-bit, and the latest Mozilla Firefox.

When I want to wath a movie on Facebook, ik keep getting the message 'Upgrade needed for Flash player. To view this, you need to download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player'

I already did this like a thousand times..

I also first used the uninstaller, than installed it again, but I keep getting the message. I have the same problem with IE also.

Hope you can help me.

    Hi there!

    Done all the things you said in the other post..And..IT WORKS!

    Thank you! This is awesome!

    Hi Jarno, Well, that was fast. Be sure to check the Shockwave Flash Object in the IE add ons and the SWF in the FF plug-ins per my other post.

    Also, please mark your thread answered as this helps others also. I have seen some that have those mix of files as you

    did. Glad that your Uninstall/Install was successful:-)     Just noted that you have marked it. Thanks.

    Thanks,

    Hi Jarno, Is this the only site you are having a problem on? Did you receive this message prior to updating to Flash Player

    vs 10.0.45.2 or after?

    What version of IE are you using?

    I would go to this Adobe test site : http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Use FF first and then test with IE

    What Anti-Virus/Spyware do you use? Does it contain a Firewall or do you use the Windows Firewall?

    Have you changed your A/V before or after updating Flash Player?

    Thanks,

    Untill now, I haven't used any other sites who use Flash.

    I received the message before, and after updating Flash.

    I have the latest version of IE.

    When I test at the site you gave, it says that Flash player is succesfully installed.

    I've got AVG free antivirus, and Windows Firewall, I guess.

    I haven't changed it since I updated Flash.

    Thanks for the help.

    Thanks. Using IE go to Tools>Manage add ons and find Shockwave Flash Object..ActiveX Control..Flash10e.ocx and make sure it is enabled.

    Do the same thing using FF and look in plug-ins for SWF vs 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is enabled.

    I would also check a few other sites as it could be this is isolated to Facebook.

    Thanks,
