You must installed the Download the Windows Flash Player 11.6 ActiveX control content debugger (for IE)

I try it and it works.

SOURCE: adobe flash player

Try disable your antivirus first and firewall like Norton or McAffe. They seem to block this kind of application. Download another version of flash player and reinstall it. If you can use a different browser like Mozilla Firefox, try it as well.

SOURCE: I keep getting a Failed to Install message when

are you installing from a download or from a CD? I am not sure why you are installing an older version which lacks updates and patches. Here is a link to the newest version. Once again you have to completely remove the old one including trace files.

SOURCE: When I go to my control panel, they add/remove

Hi,
Many times either the program will not work if you delete an earlier update or version. One also might be the original file and the other an update - then you must keep them both for it to work.

Try downloading 'CCLEANER' it is free - just say no when asked to donate - then you can donate later if you like it. IT is FREE --
download -READ the instructions and run CCLEANER - run the tools - - there are more than one and then your pc will run faster too. you can run the remove program in CCLEANER too. I use it - it is great.
Let me know if you need further instructions.

Check for updates or just update adoe flash player
Adobe Flash Player allows users to view videos made with Flash, a common online video format that can be viewed by both Mac and PC users.

Because technology is consistently emerging, Adobe frequently updates its Flash player. Downloading an update is free, and may be required in order to watch videos online.

You will need at least 128 MB of RAM available on your computer to update Flash player, and Internet Explorer version 6.0 or later for Windows XP, version 7.0 or later for Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 8.0 or later for Windows 7.

Open Internet Explorer and navigate to Adobe's Flash player download site.
Click the download link and follow the instructions on your screen.


Click "Allow" or "Install" if your security system asks if you want to download the file.
Avoid running other programs while the download is going on.

Flash player tests itself by showing you a brief video when the download is complete.
If you do not see this video, the player has not been successfully installed and you must try the download again.

Party bingo page part loads but cant see rooms just ther colour and it says wate for party bingo page to load but never does has been this way for a week tried ecery thing

Hi, the game loading partially means that the Adobe Flash Player has not been updated or the browser is not supporting it to load the game.

In order to play the Party Bingo.

Please download and install the latest free browser Mozilla Firefox 4 from the below link:

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/

Then, download and install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player from the below link:

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

Please close all the windows of Mozilla Firefox before installing Adobe Flash Player, open the Mozilla Firefox after installing the Adobe Flash Player. Now the
Party Bingo should work!

"Observe a 'message'!
The message may 'appear as a "Pop-up" in a small area of the 'upper screen'.
"Install [Active X] Software!"
There may also be a !Warning: To the "Downloading of "Active X" on the computer.
This is a "Trusted-Site; so its safe to "Download the Software."
Try [Downloading Adobe Flash Player] from this "Website."

Try (1) from a {Previous Version} ie. Adobe Flash Player

!Important: "Take a 'moment to rate the help', so I can get 'credit' for the work.

Adobe flash player installation; though the message is received that i have installed successfuly, flash is not installed

Try to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player Active X and Plug in and then reinstall it as there could be traces of previous versions in the computer which are interfering and making it difficult for the browsers to properly display videos on your computer. You can do this from the computer user settings and manipulating the "Add/Remove" programs list.
-- Try to use Flash Player 9 is your Flash Player 10 is not working fine. You can simply download it from the Adobe web site.
-- Update the drivers, the link is given below which would ask you to download the file through internet and run it on your computer.
-- The problem behind the Shockwave Flash crash could be your sound drivers. Follow these steps:
1) Open Device Manager 2) Look for the sound-card device 3) Note down the name for that device 4) Just uninstall the it. 5) After uninstalling restart your machine. 6) Your Windows 7 or Windows Vista would automatically download and reinstall the sound driver. You can also do it manually through approaching the sound card company's web site.
-- Fix your Windows Registry which is a highly recommended thing you should do to find a quick and reliable fix for common PC errors and crashes.use registry cleaner reginout

Says adobe flash player wont run on a 64 bit system, since having new laptop with windows 7, keeps saying adobe flash player cannot operate on a 64 bit system, so wont load zynga poker

Flash does work on Windows 7 64 bit, it just runs in 32 bit mode. Try using a 32bit version of the browser you use and installing flash there. Also make sure you are installing the latest version of the authentic adobe flash from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
