Adobe Flash Player updated - now can't listen to internet radio ( vanity )
8/1/14 | sushiman

Posted on 08/01/2014 1:37:23 PM PDT by sushiman

After months of getting prompts to update my Adobe Flash player I finally did so a few days ago . Yesterday discovered that I can no longer listen to KSFO , WMAL or WABC online - won't download . Worked fine before updating . I'm using Internet Explorer . Is there some setting in AFP that I need to check or uncheck ? It's in Japanese so I'll need the wife to take care of this when she gets up . Thanks in advance !

Did you get the notice prompts from Adobe or did you get them at websites? I never update from any site notice portal but go straight to Adobe’s site to update. Sites are lying about half the time which I find out when I go to Adobe and it informs me that I’m already up to date. They just want us to install malware.

Me too. Check the volume level.
I also found a work-around ... when I loaded the page and got no sound, I reloaded the page and it worked.

Prompts came direct from Adobe . It’s not a volume problem ; the circular icon on each site that shows it is trying to download just keeps spinning around .

Related issue: a good number of the websites I visit inform me that my Flash Player is "out of date." But when I go to update it, I get the same message.

I've unistalled, reinstalled, uninstalled, reinstalled with antivirus off . . . no result. Anyone have any ideas?

“I’m using Internet Explorer.”

Well, there’s your problem right there.

Have you checked any settings through Control Panel>Flash Player? Not many settings there but one might be off.

Yes. Uninstall Flash and install a malware remover like this;

https://www.malwarebytes.org/

One you run the malware remover, reinstall Flash only from the Adobe website.

You could try resetting your IE settings.

In Internet Explorer, click on Tools
Choose Internet Options
Click on the Advanced tab
Click on the Reset button (don’t check the box to delete personal settings).
Restart Internet Explorer

Also, you can delete content in your cache/temp files:
With Internet Explorer closed
Click on Start button, choose Control Panel
Select Internet Options
On the General Tab, under Browsing History, click on Settings
Click on View Files and delete everything that is listed (x out of window)
Click on View Objects and delete everything that is listed (x out of window)
Click OK to exit

Another thing to try is clear data in Adobe:
In Control Panel, select Flash Player
Under Storage Tab, select Delete All
Check all boxes and click Delete Data
Click X to close window

Now open up IE and try again to get player to work

Try one of the many online translators for Chinese - English translation or, for that matter. Chinese - Japanese.
