Cant see video - Error msg: Adobe Shockwave Player crashed

I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird on win 7 professional. It's been working fine up to 3 days ago. Now I get a message (on video sources) that Adobe Shockwave Player has crashed & am unable to view the video. I've un-installed shockwave & re-installed it to no avail. I also tried to go back to a sys restore point but only got 2 recent dates rather that a list of calender. I tried both dates & still not fixed.

Adobe Shockwave Player download catch 22

When I try to download the newest version of Adobe Shockwave Player (from Adobe - Adobe Shockwave Player) it doesn't work. After clicking the 'download' button, I get this error: "This page contains a new Shockwave format movie that the current Shockwave plug-in cannot handle. Would you like to download the newer version of the plug-in?" with the options "Yes" or "No". If I click yes, it sends me back to the last page I was on, creating a catch 22. To download Shockwave, I need Shockwave. If I choose no, it does nothing and only shows me another Adobe product. Is there a download link that does not require me to use Shockwave before downloading and installing it?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Nevermind, it works now. I uninstalled my current version and installed the newest version and it works now. Problem solved!

Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1 and forced reboot

Hello I work for a company with 8k computers and we use IEM (IBM Endpoint Manager) distribution tool. We started Adobe product patching in January and we encountered unexpected forced reboot on some Windows 8 computers. IEM creates installation scripts automatically and I have noticed that there are two installation files: sw_lic_full_installer.exe and sw_lic_slim_installer.exe. I have performed some test with both packages and on one PC where I tried sw_lic_slim_installer.exe the FORCED REBOOT occurred. I have checked event viewer logs and found the following lines:
Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: swMSM. Product Version 12.0.0.1. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Adobe Systems, Inc. installation success or error status:0
Windows Installer requires a system restart. Product Name: swMSM. Product Version 12.0.0.1. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Adobe Systems, Inc. installation success or error status:0
Ending a Windows Installer transaction: C:\windows\SysWOW64\Adobe\Schockwave 12\swMSM.msi. Client Process Id: 220.
The Windows Installer initiated a system restart to complete system restart to complete or continue the configuration of "swMSM".
Could you please explain me when Adobe Shockwave Player updates force a reboot? Unfortunately all updates are packed in exe files so I don't know any way how to suppress the reboot.
Additionally after the installation of the patch we see 2 entries in the control panel:
Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0
Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1
Can you tell me how to get rid of the Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0 entry? Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem on an iMac but managed to download and install shockwave 11, see Adobe - Webplayer
There appeared a notice for incompatibility, but was able to continue installation. Apps (not requiring sw 12) did run after.

Installation Failed, w/Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0

(Pleases see the Subject, "Installation Failed, w/Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0". Besides this I see, "There were errors with the installation. You may want to try installing it Again." [ & Again & Again … ! ]
I use an iMac, with System X v10.8.3. It has a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor _&_ 4 GigaBytes of RAM.
(Really. my iMac is from mid-2011.)
What is happening with Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0? Thanks at giving any help you can. :-)

are you sure you want the shockwave player and not the flash player?

Seems to work fine for me.
I would delete the application from configuration manager and start again, it takes 2 seconds to add the app in.
Create Application:
Type - Windows installer.
Location - Browse to the UNC path of the msi via it's share.
Next
Next
Name - Use default - Adobe Shockwave Player 12.1
Leave the default command line as it is : msiexec /i "sw_lic_full_installer.msi" /q
Install behaviour - install for system
Next
Close
It will automatically create the detection method for you.

I was trying to load an online game, and it said "Shockwave Player Error-to view movie, please switch to 32-bit mode." IT WOULDN'T WORK WHEN I TRIED IT! WHAT SHOULD I DO! PLEASE HELP SOON!

Update your Flash from Adobe's website. If that doesn't work, tell the webmaster they aren't using a portable version of Flash that is as compatible with as many browsers as possible.
Please don't use all uppercase. In internet etiquette it means you are shouting.

Safari Update-Privacy-Shockwave Player Error

Did some software updates yesterday evening, one of them being a Safari update.
After the updates were completed, did a "re-start" and eveything seemed fine.
Noticed a few enhancements to Safari (v 5.1) but one thing I do find now is if I click on Safari/Preferences/Privacy a "Shockwave Player Error" message appears. Huh? I'm not trying to view/watch a movie.
I tried what it said about switching to 32-bit but the error still exisits.
Also the "remove cookies" is gone from the option list.
Anyone have a fix for this error?
Thanks!

I was having the same problem—not just in the Preferences, but in practically every page I visited.
I updated my Shockwave Player to the 64 bit version, and that seems to have done the trick.
http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/otherversions/
Note: I'm still running Snow Leopard; haven't upgraded to Lion yet.
Also, I have an iMac, not a MacBook Pro, though I don't see why that should matter.
Hope that helps.

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\

How can I get rid of Shockwave Player Error message? I'm not trying to play anything, but it pops up whenever I reset my Safari.

I keep getting a message on my Mac saying:
Shockwave Player Error
To view the movie, open your browser in the 32-bit mode.
1) In Safari, select applications/safari in the Finder and click more info
2) Ensure that Open in 32-bit mode is selected
3) Re-launch the browser.
I did this, and selected the open in 32-bit mode but it's still giving me this message.
Interestingly, it does this every time I reset my Safari (which I do upon closing Safari), UNLESS I unclick the "Remove all website data" item box - then I don't get this weird shockwave player error message.
I would like to know either how to get rid of the error message (stop it from popping up) or how to download/install shockwave in case I need it.

I am having this issue whenever I go to Safari privacy preferences tab it pops up this same error window repeatedly, over and over, even if I don't acknowledge the first one... it just keeps adding the error window one on top of the other. (a little offset like opening multiple browser windows).
If I switch to a different application it may even keep popping them up keeping them on top all the time.
I navigated to Library/Internet Plug-ins and there was nothing in it.

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.

'''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.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
