Adobe Shockwave continually locks up my computer no matter which browser I use. This is getting tiring.

I installed and uninstalled shockwave a number of times but nothing seems to work. It continually locks up my computer. I always get an error message.....shockwave has stopped working...in my browsers, no matter which one i use. This is really getting tiring and I'm so frustrated.
I've researched and made adjustments according to what others think the problem is but it never works. What is going on? Do I have a program which is blocking it?...My computer is only a few years old and I have to say I never had this problem before.
I have the latest version. Should I try to get to an older version? Is there another program I can use. It doesn't matter if I'm playing games or just going to my home page. I get the error message and the computer locks up.
Any REAL working suggestions?

I can't provide one because it's not one in particular. It happens when my home page opens (msn.com), when I'm on facebook, when I try to go to any page. In Chrome the message comes up stating Shockwave has stopped working; In Foxfire, I have the same error message with foxfire wording. It is nothing specific, nothing. I will uninstall it and try to find another program in it's place.
I know many people are having the same problem. I use Win8.1

Provide you have Acrobat 9 installed in an OS for which Acrobat 9 is compatible then you can use the functionality.
As well, you need a scanner connected, powered up, and the software installed. Acrobat 9 "prefers" TWAIN drivers.
Always visit the scanner vendor's site and download - install the latest greatest software.
n.b., The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013.
As well the Acrobat 9.x product family is not compatible with contemporary OSs.

Iphone 4s locking up after installing 8.0.2 how to fix this without getting a newer phone? Other 4s users are experiencing same difficulties.

After installing IOS 8.0.2 the phone has been locking up when using apps such as Facebook. The screen becomes unresponsive for several minutes after loading an app. Also, if you double click the home button to shut down the app the screen is unresponsive or the screen becomes black. I did not have this problem until installing the IOS 8.0.2. I have talked to a couple other people that have the 4S and they are experiencing the same problems. The iphone 5 users are not experiencing this problem. I suspect the processor is too slow to handle the new IOS and the 4S should have not be allowed to update to this IOS if the system was not going to work properly. Is there a way to fix IOS 8 or return to IOS 7?

Sorry, but there is no way to downgrade the iOS. To make sure your backup did not contain damaged files after upgrading and restoring, set it up as new device without using the backup and no 3rd party apps installed. If the phone is working after that, add the 3rd party apps back.

Adobe Flashplayer does not work and crashes no matter what i am using it for, help!!

I updated Firefox to its latest update and had problems with the flash player beforehand, it only crashed a few times but i was still sick of it.
I then updated the Adobe Flash Player to its recent update.
Since then, the crashing has been frequent and recently nothing has been able to stay open when it requires Adobe Flash Player.
I did go to Adobe Flash Player site and tested it for any problems and it seemed to be fine.
I hope its something as simple as a installation problem, my laptop is slightly dated so that may make a difference, too.
Thanks support team! :)

Is it an instrument or an insert effect? My guess is you've been trying to find it amongst the insert effects, where it actually is an instrument, which can only be loaded in the Instrument Slot.

I set up the firefox sync from my computer to my ipad. can I use this acct somehow to get info from my ipad that i lost?

Hi!
Unfortunately the communication with iOS devices (iPhone and iPad) is only in one direction: data from your computers will go to your iPad but not the other way around.
That's a limitation of Firefox Home.

HT1495 Multiple logons for one computer and multiple devices trying to use one itunes account.

I have one computer with a logon for Kids and one for Adults. There is a touch and nano that was added to a single itunes account tied to my email on the adult logon and the shuffle that is on the kids account. I can't seem to get the multiple devices access to all the songs with out erase and re-sync error message when not using the right device on the assigned logon to the computer - why and can we change this?

It sounds like each Windows user has it's own iTunesLibrary.itl file. If that is the case, then you are correct, the correct device must be connected when logged in with the correct login.
If all Windows logins share an iTunesLibrary.itl file... then it does not matter which login is used or which device is connected.

HT1338 I download Adobe Flash but it doesn't install. Each time I encounter something that needs Adobe Flash it tells me I don't have it. I am getting tired downloading it and then it isn't there.

install_flash_player_10_osx.dmg
install_flash_player_10_osx-1.dmg
install_flash_player_10_osx-2.dmg
install_flash_player_10_osx-3.dmg
install_flash_player_10_osx-4.dmg
etc to -9
Those are the ones you downloaded. Ten times, apparently. Since install_flash_player_10_osx.dmg already existed, the next download was appended with -1. The next -2, etc. They'll all be identical, so it doesn't matter which one you use. Though I'd go with the last one as it may be a slightly updated version from the first download, depending on how long ago you did the first one.
A .dmg file is a Disk Image. When you double click them, they open up a pseudo drive on the desktop. When you open one of these ten items, the Flash installer will appear in a file window. Run it to install Flash. Then close the file window (displaying from the psuedo drive) and then put the "drive" in the trash to dismount it. You can then delete all of those.
Looks like you also downloaded the Adobe Reader twice. Versions 10.1.2 and 10.1.3. Also Skype, whatever the Thomson thing is, and an unnecessary Flash uninstaller (the Flash installer will put an uninstaller in the Utilities folder).

I continue to have an Adobe error when booting up my computer. It reads: this specific module could not be found. \AppData\local\diagnostics\tlfpizv.dll

I continue to have an Adobe error when booting up my computer. It reads: this specific module could not be found. \AppData\local\diagnostics\tlfpizv.dll
Please tell me there is a fix that does not involve buying a computer clean sweep program.

Hi brigitta2,
You might be getting the error message because of any of the following reasons:
.dll files are corrupt or missing
Attack of malware or other spyware
Incorrect installation of applications
Damaged Windows registry
Old Windows device drivers that need to be updated
The problem can be sorted if you know the exact reason behind the same. Please let me know the exact error message that appears on your screen.
If the issue is with damaged files then you might need to replace them or if it is a system issue, then please take your laptop to an expert who can deal with system issues.
Regards,
Anubha
