Why isn't Adobe Flash downloading?
I have to have Adobe Flash downloaded to use a program and it won't install.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/830757...posted-public/
I have tried downloading using 3 browsers: Chrome, FF, Opera and it won't install.
Help!
There's a site when I go to it (my time keeping) it gives me the flash sign and tells me to download. I do, but it never installs.

Chrome has Flash built-in, so you'd just need to have the latest version.
Please post your OS and browser versions.
You could try uninstalling and reinstalling Flash, but that would only affect Firefox and Opera.

The latest browsers. Just updated FF and Opera.
I tried Chrome, still not installing.

Do you mean Chrome is not installing?
Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling Flash yet?
Are you running any adblockers? There are some fake messages that say Flash is out of date.
Is it Win10 32 or 64 bit?

Flash is downloading but NOT installing. See the picture of program in Control Panel.
I have used all 4 browsers to download Flash: Chrome, FF, Edge, Opera. The program is in Control Panel but not useable.
I don't know how else to explain it.

Like I mentioned, Chrome already has Flash built into it. So it wouldn't require a separate Flash installation. If you're having problems with Chrome, then it might not be a browser issue.
Edge also has Flash built-in. So again, it should be independent of an Adobe Flash installation.
Your picture doesn't really tell me anything.
Again, do you have any ad blockers installed? It's possible that it's a fake Flash message.

This is my flash settings in Opera:

There doesn't seem to be a way to enable Flash, even though I have downloaded it.
Here's a screen shot of the plug-ins for Firefox. Most if not all of these flashes are not installed, but I don't know how to install from the FF settings:

I just want to run Flash, I don't care from what browser.

How are you downloading the Flash Player installer? When I download the installer, I always select Save As and save the installer to a file folder. Then, before running it, I make a Backup folder and save a copy of the installer there also, since the installer will be deleted automatically after it runs. Try this and report back what errors or messages, if any, you get when installing.

Also Sal, in your second picture the add-ons are nothing to do with Adobe Flash as such.
They do not need to be installed, are written by various people not associated with Adobe and as with all Add-ons should be approached cautiously.

Flash is a PLUGIN, not an Extension in Firefox. You need to look at the Plugins section.

Here is a screenshot of my Firefox Add-in:

It looks like the Flash is installed, but I still cannot use it. How do I activate it?
Notice it's not shockwave flash.

What started all of this? Why do you need flash? Is there some website you can access?
If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

I don't know what happened, like with everything Windows related stuff happens.
I need it to access my timecard. See the screenshots. It looks like I have flash installed (i've installed it several times) but when I go to use it at certain websites, like my timecard site, it states I need flash.
I do wish these sites would do away with Flash, it's a big headache.

Have you tested Flash Player on Adobe's test page? If it works there, then the site you are trying to access that says it isn't working is not correctly reporting the status.

I can't see my timecard without Flash and I can't run certain sites with Flash. Isn't Flash considered an OLD PROGRAM that coders are doing away with? Is there a work around or a "generic" flash???
