Windows 10: Flashplayer problem

My daughters PC will no longer play the CBBC iplayer, it stopped today but I am unsure what has changed. She gets a message "You need to install Flash Player to play this content".

I have checked IE11 settings and they seem identical to those on my own PC which works fine.

Specifically
ActiveX filtering is not enabled for the site - same as my PC.
"Manage add ons" in internet explorer shows Shockwave Flash Object version 20.0.0.272 enabled - same as my PC.

If she clicks on the download link, which is under the Flashplayer message, on the CBBC site it takes her to the Adobe site which shows a test page which is playing correctly.



I am scratching my head - any help appreciated

HTC Touch setup disc not allowing me to install device or active sync

Hi,

I too had same problem but after working for 3 days I found the solution. My guess is that HTC Touch phone's cd had hardcoded flashplayer v8.0.35.0 in their setup file and therefore fails to install when you have updated flashplayer v9 (currently on abode website).

Here are steps:-

1> Uninstall flashplayer using

2> Download old version of flashplayer v8

http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp8_archive.zip

3> Unzip, go to r35 folder,

and install flashplayer8r35_winax.exe (remember ending with ax i.e. with active control, don't use the other one)



4> Insert your CD and use autorun/setup.exe.

After completeling all installation of programs from cd.

5> Reinstall flashplayer v9 from abode website.

Internet Explorer broken after most recent update

I had same problem. seems to be fixed by disabling flashplayer in internet options.

 

After more digging it turns out MacAfee "Vulnerability scanner" found a software update required earlier this evening and installed over flashplayer. There was a system restore point just before that so I have reset to that point and all is well.

Now just need to find out how to turn off that element of MacAfee ..........

In Mcafee, just change the settings in the vulnerability scanner to "don't set a scan schedule", which will disable automatic scanning

 

Thanks - Done it on my PC and my daughters
