Flash problems..

[dumble]

I have been struggling with this for the past hour. I just reinstalled my PC with the new windows 8.1 ISO x64 pro.

 

I use firefox as my default browser, I installed flash for firefox.. it doesnt work. Black screen at video sites.. So I decide to remove everything with revo uninstaller. I also manually delete:
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed

 

I try to install everything again, still doesn't work. Also tried with waterfox, same problem. And now flash in IE is not working (which I think is because I removed those 2 folders listed above)..

 

 

Oh I figured maybe its my firewall blocking it (I use eset smart security), So i made rules allowing flash 32/64 bit,.. makes no difference.

 

What must I do, I dont get why its not working, never had this problem..

If you right click on that video space, what does it say? Movie not loaded, or something else?

Likely hardware acceleration is failing if Flash is installed correctly.

If it is this, have a look at reinstalling your video drivers.

I don't know how to access flash settings, its als not in control panel, and there is no flash-content visable in my browser to right-click on and go the settings..

Download the official Flash uninstaller:

http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_player.exe

Then close your browsers and run the downloaded file.

Then try a reinstall of Flash.

tried that 2 times already cantoris...

 

this is how it looks like in IE, as you can see flash is 'not available'

So I removed my amd drivers with DDU, installed the latest stable.. no luck..

 

I also uninstalled/reinstalled windows update "Windows8.1-KB3008925-x64" , that is the embedded flash in IE. Now flash is available again in IE, but its not working because I get this yellow poup allow/deny. I click allow, allow for all websites, it doesn't matter because nothing happens (the page only refreshes with the same popup), and the popup is still there:

Did you reinstall all motherboard, chipset drivers first ?

[dumble]

No, but afterwards I did. Didn't help eighter.. I got so fed up, that I cleaned my ssd with gparted, and installed win8.1 again.. now its working. Still did not figure out what it was, but ###### it..

 

EDIT:

You gotta be kiddin me, I just figured it out. Its a freaking addon called "Focus Regainer"

Its nessceary to ctrl-tab trough tabs with flash content.. apperantly it doesn't work with f34, in comments I read more people have issues..
