Help me to solve the Flash player problem.....
« on: January 17, 2014, 01:06:54 PM »
I have updated my flash player to version 12 and there is a red flash player icon in the add or remove programs in the control panel(screen shot attached). Flash worked well in Firefox(trying with Facebook). I rebooted my pc and then the flash icon in add or remove programs in the control panel turned to a white blank symbol(screen shot attached). Opened Firefox and loaded Facebook...but Firefox freezes and as it is not responding I have to forcefully end Firefox process. This happens with every versions of flash player and therefore I'm unable to use Firefox to view a lot of web pages. Please help me.... :-[

Download , install and run the FlashPlayer removal tool >>  http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html#main_Download_the_Adobe_Flash_Player_uninstaller

Then try a fresh install of FlashPlayer.

1. Have you tried another browser to see if that helps ???
2. Have you checked your settings in FF to make sure nothing is blocking Flash ???
