About shockwave player

our xp was restored. everything is running fine but when i go
to slingo that is set up only to play their games with shockwave
player i installed and it says network error. please check your
internet connection and try again. i am connected to the internet i
just cant get the shockwave to work. i upgraded i.e and uninstalled
shockwave and reinstalled but still says this. what can i do

HELP!!! HELP!!!
I'm having a similar problem. I've downloaded the current
version of Shockwave 3 times but I still can't get it to work. I've
rebooted and shut it off once. This is a 2 month old HP laptop. I
can't say that Shockplayer ever worked. I've already had to restore
the hard drive twice because of errors and other problems. I hope
that I don't have to restore again because I have some large
programs which take a lot of time.

Shockwave player error popup when closing FF

Couple of weeks ago upgraded to 4.0.1. Ever since, when exiting I get a popup error about Shockwave player. I have no shockwave player add on. Any ideas?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Is Flash player the same as Shockwaves Player?

I am having problems with using these items. I have been having trouble uploading photos to websites as it says i neen Adobe Flashplayer. I keep installing it but it still doesn't work,it just keeps telling me to install it again. I have looked at my Add-ons and what is enabled. It tells me that Adobe Shockwaves is enabled.I was thinking that these must have been conflicting.So i sdisabled Shockwaves and tried again but its still the same. I have also just noticed that i get a message saying that Flashplayer will continue with installation when the following conflicting item has been removed,ie Internet Explorer.
Now what am i dsuppose to do now. I use Windows XP and my browser is IE. I have never had these problems before.

Hi, No they are not the same. Flash Player is a browser plugin(addon in IE) and works thru the browser. You can read about Shockwave Player here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15508.html
You may want to try the manual Install of Flash Player.
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE- use the EXE Installer
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.
Disable any messenger services, as yahoo, msn, etc in the system tray(area near the clock)
Disable any Anti-Virus Program
Be sure to use the Administrator Account.
Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
Check to make sure the Anti-Virus is still Disabled
Run the Installer for IE, and when finished, Reboot.
Then go to this test site and test each browser:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
You may want to print these instructions to make it easier to follow. If you have any questions, let me know.
Also check to make sure the Shockwave Flash Object in your manage addons is Enabled when finished.
Thanks,

Firefox Plugins lists Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70 but Adobe lists this as Adobe Flash Player, and Version 12.0.9.149 as Adobe Shockwave Player, so wtf is going on

Flash causes us all immense confusion, and Firefox is adding to the problem.
My Firefox Add-ons page lists (under Plugins -- isn't there a difference?) that I have:
Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70 which is set to "Always Activate".
Adobe websites list:
Adobe Flash Player 12.0.0.70
Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0.9.149
-- so what on earth is the Firefox-listed "Shockwave Flash"?
This simply adds to the utter confusion already surrounding Flash Player -- which I cannot find anywhere amongst my Programs -- but which I can find under "Uninstall or change a Program" where it is listed as "Adobe Flash Player 12 Plugin".
There is also the thorny issue of FlashPlayer vs. FlashPlayerDownloader......
I need a flash of inspiration to get me out of shock -- I'm not waving, I'm drowning!

In the internals of the plugin it is still referenced as Shockwave Flash. That hasn't changed as it would break websites that check for a specific plugin name. You can see that on the about:plugins page and in the properties of the Flash plugins file.
You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and paste this JavaScript code in the command line to see how the Adobe Flash Player plugin identifies itself:
<pre><nowiki>console.log(navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].name);
console.log(navigator.plugins["Shockwave Flash"].description);
</nowiki></pre>
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Web_Console
On disk you will also see Macromedia for folder names used by the plugin.
*32 bit Windows: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
*64 bit Windows: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
* C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\

Adobe Shockwave Player version 11.5.1.601 download problem

Whenever I try to download version 11.5.1.601it will go about one quarter ways through installation process then I get the message:
Error opening file for writing:

Why is the Shockwave player not requesting the root crossdomain.xml

Hi,
I have a Director movie (DCR) that is presented to visitors to my website. The DCR is actually downloaded from a separate Content Delivery Network (CDN).
On startup, the DCR connects to my original website to retrieve some additional information that is presented to the visitor. But because the DCR comes the CDN, when it attempts to access my website a warning dialog appears informing the visitor that the DCR is attempting to access another site and asking them to allow or deny access.
I did some reading of the Adobe docs and found that from version 11.5, the Shockwave player will skip this dialog if the referenced domain includes a cross domain policy file that permits access. The movie can load a specific policy from the target domain, but if it doesn't the docs say that the player will read the default crossdomain.xml from the root of the target network.
So I created and deployed the default crossdomain.xml as described in the documentation and redeployed my application. However, when the DCR started the same dialog appeared warning about the cross domain reference and asking me to allow or deny it.
I thought perhaps there was an error in how I deployed the cross domain file, but when I checked more closely I discovered that Shockwave player never even requested the file from the target server.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Am I missing some step that is required to make the player request the default cross domain policy file?
Thanks in advance for any help people can offer.
Damian

I thought this had been fixed in the latest version of the installer, but perhaps not. Try the option suggested in this thread

Allowing Shockwave Player to run for non-admins

Hi all, I see the following problem on and off for years now, with Adobe Flash and in particular Adobe Shockwave Player.
I have a school that has a Windows 7 lab. Shockwave Player 11.6 is installed as part of the base image. It shows up in "Programs and Features"
After it was initially installed, I tested the plug-in by going to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome and it worked fine.
The problem I'm having is with non-admin users. Our students aren't local admins. Say they go to a website that has Shockwave content, for example, http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/tryit/dna/index.html
When I (with a non-admin student account) click on the link to play the Shockwave content, a pop-up window appears. Then IE 9 displays a message "This webpage wants to run the following add-on: "Adobe Shockwave Player 11.6" from Adobe Systems Incorporated. Allow/Allow for all websites?" I don't want to see this again, so I click Allow for All websites. Then I get another window: "Adobe Shockwave Player is now installing....Installing compatibility components." So far, so good. The problem is, once the installation progress bar gets to the end, Windows User Access control pops up prompting for an admin user account and password to complete the install. Since they don't have an admin account, the install can't complete.
How do I get Shockwave Player to "just work" for non admin users? I see for Flash there is this document at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987370 about registry permissions, etc. Is there a similar solution for Shockwave Player?
Please help, thanks,
Sir_Timbit

If SW is trying to install compatibility components, be sure to run the full installer before creating your base image

Shockwave Player vs. Shockwave Flash (Flash Player)

For historic/legacy reasons there are two free Adobe browser add-ons with somewhat similar names
Shockwave Flash
Shockwave Player
Shockwave Flash is Flash Player
Shockwave Player is Shockwave Player
This is the Shockwave Player forum.

Hi stevewriter122 and welcome to our community
Hmmm, your mention of eHelp indicates a bit of time has
elapsed. As a result, I'm going to crawl way out here on this shaky
little limb and say that maybe that was the case at one point in
time, but it probably changed. Or, maybe it was just voodoo all
along. I'm simply not sure. Maybe Catbandit has some good stuff
about all that, as he is another one that also combined RoboDemo
with RoboHelp.
However, I'm another person that now combines RoboHelp with
Captivate. (I never could warm up to RoboDemo, but Captivate rocked
my world) Anyway, I'm happy to report that I've been combining
Captivate movies with both .CHM and WebHelp output for a long time
with no issues. And with my laptop being pretty new, I'm doubtful
Shockwave player is even on the system. But I'll counter that with
the open admittance that I'm not sure how I would even go about
testing to see if it was present.
Hopefully others will happily chime in here and offer other
insights on this.
Cheers... Rick

Shockwave Player Crash

Can anyone help - I've just bought a new Sony Vaio laptop -
latest spec etc etc but every time I try to go into a flash based
video chat room it crashes the browser.
I've tried this in Explorer (browser crashes & reboots),
Firefox (browser crashes & reboots) and Chrome (error message
says Shockwave Player has crashed).
I've turned off firewalls/antivirus in case that was the
problem, I've uninstalled and reinstalled both Flash, ActiveX and
Shockwave but nothing works. Sony can't help as they say it's a
software problem.
Never had this problem with other laptops or desktops which
were all running the latest versions of Flash & Shockwave.
Graphics/Video card is: ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3470
Operating Sys: Vista Business (32 bit).
Please help, I can't think of what else to do and it's very
frustrating indeed.

Found a solution. See the info below from Chrome help. I chose the option to "To disable Adobe Flash completely, click the Disable link under its name." I had earlier tried to just disable one of the two, but that failed. All tests out OK after disable.
Adobe Flash Player : Basic browser settings - Google Chrome Help
http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=108086
Adobe Flash is directly integrated with Google Chrome and enabled by default. Any available updates for Adobe Flash are automatically included in Google Chrome updates.
If you want to use Adobe Flash in other browsers, you’ll need to separately download the Adobe Flash Player for those browsers. Visit http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Disable Adobe Flash
Click the wrench icon on the browser toolbar.
Select Options (Preferences on Mac and Linux; Settings on Chrome OS).
Click the Under the Hood tab.
Click Content settings.
In the Content Settings dialog that appears, click the Plug-ins tab.
Click Disable individual plug-ins.
On the Plug-ins page that appears, find the "Flash" listing.
To disable Adobe Flash completely, click the Disable link under its name.
If you've previously installed Adobe Flash separately, you'll see two files listed for the plug-in. To disable a specific version of Adobe Flash, click Details in the upper-right corner of the page. Then click the Disable link for the version of Adobe Flash you want to disable. The version of Adobe Flash that's been built in to Google Chrome shows the file gcswf32.dll in its location field.
Restart the browser.

Their links are broken, so you can't actually download
anything.
But they are there.

Uninstall Adobe Shockwave Player 11.0

While upgrading from Windows Vista - Windows 7, I run windows7 upgrade advisor to check the compatibility as suggested by Microsoft. The report shows following issue.
Adobe Shockwave Player
version 11.0
Adobe Systems, Inc.
Update available
We don't have compatibility information about this version of the program.
Get an update to a compatible version http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
I updated the latest version from the above link suggest by Advisor, but still the same issue was showing. Closing looking the latest version of Adobe Shockwave Player is 11.5 and the issue was showing for version 11.0. Looking further, for all the programs installed in Control Panel - Programs, I found my system have both Adobe Shockwave player (11.0 & 11.5). When I use Shockwave Player Uninstaller (sw_uninstaller.exe) this uninstall only new version (11.5) and old version remains without logo.
Please help to uninstall Adobe Shockwave Player version 11.0.

Should have looked through this forum a little closer:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/560708?tstart=0
I used the installation program for ShockWave 11.0 with the uninstall switch and this did uninstall it.
Since I am using an SCCM package to deploy the uninstall of SW 11.0 and the install of SW 11.5.6.606,
I used this line in my Installer package:
Execute msiexec /uninstall "Path\SWInstallFileName.msi" /quiet (Wait)
I had to rename the SW 11.0 installation filename since it was the same as the SW 11.5.6.606 installation filename
and I needed to use both .MSIs in my package.
This does not explain why the sw_uninstaller.exe provided by Adobe is not working though.
It would be nice to have an explanation and get this problem corrected so we can use sw_uninstaller.exe.

I have looked on the internet, and have not found a single article about any Adobe ShockWave player for the BlackBerry PlayBook (neither positive, not negative).
The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

My question to the Adobe developers: Why you dont offer Shockwave Player for Linux based OS?

You know well that people who using Linux can play their games bearing Shockwave with Firefox for Windows via Wine program. So, for Haven's sake why this torment?

Um, if you're using Wine, what good would a Linux based Shockwave player be? Why don't you install the Windows version?
Don't know anything about it, but I thought that was why people used Wine...

Shockwave player for WinXP x64

Not a lot of things seem to require Shockwave player except jigsaw puzzles. For a long time I thought there was a site problem with msnbc.com regarding their jigsaw puzzle page in that there was never a puzzle displayed and no error messages as to why not. After several emails with their tech support I went to adobe.com and downloaded the latest Shockwave player and installed it. The result was then an error message about the player.
Turns out the only way I could get the puzzles to work was by going to oldapps.com and downloading an older version of Shockwave player (10.3.0.24). Now the puzzles display, but regularly I get notifications that a new version of the player is available. My browser shows that the plugin for Shockwave player needs to be updated as well. When I go to a site that tests the Shockwave player, it fails with any newer version of the player.
To further add to the problem, some sites that offer jigsaw puzzles apparently test to see if I have the latest version of the Shockwave player and pop-up an error notice.

Since this is a "Discussion" forum, my only question is what don't you understand about "Discussion"? The post was merely information sharing for XP x64 users of Shockwave Player.

I literally had to go through my system and manually remove
the Norton Security Scan files to stop this from happening!
Anyone else with this problem on Windows Vista 32-bit can
stop Norton Security Scan from reinstalling by doing the following
Delete C:\Windows\system32\Adobe\Shockwave 11\nssstub.exe
from your system.
Also in C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Local\Temp
Remove or quarantine all of the files with Norton in the
name.
Also in the same folder, Remove or quarantine NSSstub.txt
This is a nuisance! This optional software bundle should not
be selected and installed by default.
Yes, I believe that it hurts the product and brand in the long run that they have opt-out 3rd party software, but they're by far not the only large company that does this with their software.
Anyways, DO NOT uninstall Norton's manually. To clean most Norton's products from your system as fully as you can, use their removal tool: http://service1.symantec.com/Support/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2005033108162039
And for those of you who are still paranoid about using their removal tool to remove their software - this tool came about because of customer complaints, so it does what it says.
