Flash player not working for non admin users

[nicholab]

Flash player is not working for non admin user. It IE gets run as Administrator it then works when the user next runs it. I can see from process explorer that on a working user FlashUtil_ActiveX.exe starts up when I load content but it is not loading up on a non working user.

 

Any suggestions?

Using process Monitor I can see that create file fail for:

 

C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\ss.sgn

C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\ss.cfg

C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\mms.cfg

C:\Windows\System32\mms.cfg

C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\oem.cfg

C:\Windows\System32\oem.cfg

 

Any suggestions?

Do you have the latest Flash Player installed for Internet Explorer in Windows 8.1 (KB3065820 / v18.0.0.160)?

throughout the years I've seen some versions of flash do this to us as well, change the version of flash (even a minor version) normally fixes the issue.

We have this problem too, had it since January. But only effects the windows 8.1 64bit machines for us. A flat copy of windows 8.1 64bit works fine, which leads me to believe that some old bit software not designed for windows 8 has tried to install flash player and corrupted the flash player install some how. so far I've not found a fix, tried several flash player updates as they have come out and still not resolved the problem.
