    To give you any useful advice, I'm going to need to know more about your computer and browser:

    trying to play a game on FB and it says I need 11.8.0 flash player.

    I install, then it says close IE, which I do.

    But nothing happens to the install as it keeps saying close IE?

    Help!

    После установки последнего флеша - перестало показывать видео во всех браузерах, после удаления данной версии - некоторые работают, некоторые нет (требуют флеш, короче замкнутый круг). Система win 10 (версия10122, я инсайдер)..

    I had this same problem and just fixed it. Here's what I did:

    1) repair permission on the hard drive (go to Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility - select your hard drive, then hit "Repair Disk Permissions"

    2) on mine, this ran for about 2 minutes (intel iMAC running OS X 10.4.10)

    3) reboot (probably not necessary, but I did it anyway for good measure)

    4) go to a site that uses Flash (like http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/index.html ), and it will tell you you need to install the Flash player.

    5) Go through the install (like you've probably done 10 times already :-), but this time it will work).

    6) now the Flash sites should work, at least they do for me.

    I hope this helps. I've been quite fustrated myself over this one, and I've done enough internet searches now to see that many people are hacing this problem.

    I am having the same exact problem. I've done everything that I can think of and still nothing. I have even tryed contacting adobe's support team through emails and I have never recieved anything in return from them. Not even a responce saying that they have recieved my message and are trying to work on the problem. Nothing. Hopefully someone here might be able to help.

    i doubt it this is like the 3rd thing i've posted about this and no one's even replied trying to help. i contacted adobe on the phone even though they don't provide tech support for free products i was so pissed cause ever since this update came out nothing has been working cause i have to update freakin adobe for it to work and nothing is working. i really don't know what to do and it's made me so mad. i'm thinking about taking my comp. up to the mac store and seeing if they can help me but i doubt they can.
