Adobe, please sort the recent issues with Shockwave player updating

Windows 7 x64, fully patched.  Go to adobe.com to update Shockwave Player, hangs after accepting run of .exe file. Even when I go to the direct download link, I get:
"c:\Windows\system32\Adobe\Director\SWDNLD.EXE
Error opening file for writing"
When I look for that path, "c:\Windows\system32\Adobe..." does not even exist (either not there pre install attempt, or removed by install attempt.
Adobe, can you please get your act together and sort this with an updated download?
Thank you

Hi - me again.
Thank you Adobe techies - the update now works on the various Windows 7 x64 PCs it previously failed on.

  • Is Apple asking people to change their Apple i.d Login Password because of the recent issue with the Developer Site ?

    Hi Guys & Gals,
    Ive used the same Apple i.d login password for years but recently ive been prompted to change the password to continue to use itunes etc.
    Im not a registered developer.
    Any ideas if the two are connected ?

    When i went to update an app on my iPhone 5 i was prompted to change my password only after answering two security questions and then i received an e mail from Apple confirming a change had been done from this address :

  • Please fix the macro issue with N8 camera (2)

    This problem makes me sick, guys. My n73 shoots better macros

    I'm talkin about the famous bug or call it however you want that affects the macro function of the n8.
    I cannot accept that a CAMERA PHONE cannot focus in macro mode when updated to Belle. I have to focus 10-15 times to achieve the correct focusing.
    Why my n73 can shoot the same macro and my n8 don't ? if you chek in other forums you'll notice that's a common problem. A common BIG problem, dude.

  • With one of the last updating in Adobe Reader,in the "recently read" section,it's no more possible delete the last pdfs read

    With one of the last updating in Adobe Reader,in the "recently read" section,it's no more possible delete the last pdfs read. Can that be changed? Before in fact there was a specified button for that!

    Hi,
    The 'Clear Recents' button which was provided in previous releases only *cleared* the Recent list and did not delete the files. The files stayed in your document hierarchy. This button has been removed in the latest release. For deleting the files, you can go to the Documents/Acrobat.com tab and delete the files individually. However, please note that the files will be permanently deleted from your device. Please let us know if this is not a viable option for you. We would like to hear more about your use case for which you would require to just remove the entry from Recents and not delete the file. You could share the feedbacks here.
    Thanks,
    Shefali

    I don't know if this is the right section but I experience the following issue with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 8.1. When I start Acrobat the related window opens normally but, after some scroll up and down along the document, it blocks, Acrobat doesn't respond to any command I can give and, in place of the pointer arrow, a vertical bar, as the one of the text editor appears. The only way I can stop Acrobat is by means of the task manager. I tried to de-install and the re- install Acrobat but the behaviour is always the same. What can I do??

    Have you opened Acrobat and gone to Help>Updates to get an updated install?

    Hi TacoRye.
    Welcome to the club. When I saw this post, my eye twitched, my shoulders tensed up and I was brought back to a time (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4714549#4714549) when hitting stop did things that were wrong...just wrong. But as one who's been shut down and locked out of that topic, I'll kindly say that yes, multicam is a bit more enjoyable and free of that design flaw in Premiere CC. In fact, you'll probably like it for a few more things in CC as it's true that they have implemented several FCP favorites in the recent releases that even old schoolers probably say "hmmm, well now this is useful". I was a convert to CS6 from FCP this time last year and open to new things but that stop/pause issue drove me nuts. But it's fixed now in CC. And although I'm dealing with equally frustrating issues in CC on a daily basis unrelated to multcam, unless you use Warp Stabilizer a lot you probably won't experience them. All new software will have its bugs, etc. and I'm still holding out hope that the upcoming release will fix these issues. I have faith. Lots of exciting new features are coming in the next week or so which is all nice and good, but if the actual issues and bugs are fixed, I for one will be even happier.
    Bottom line: I encourage you to update to Premiere CC if you do a lot of multicam. Just be sure to update to at least 7.0.1 (the current version as of this post) because the regular 7.0.0 version has a pretty awful multicam bug unrelated to the CS6 thing.
    Enjoy...and don't be scared.

  • IOS 7.0.3 did not fix the mirroring issue with ATVs and AirServer.  Anyone have an idea what needs to be done?

    iOS 7.0.3 did not fix the mirroring issue with ATVs and AirServer.  Anyone have an idea what needs to be done?  The only solution we have found is to reboot the iPad.  We don't have the option of restarting the wireless as so many people are on and it would further disrupt classes.
