C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx

Can someone please, please help???
I installed FP10 on Windows Vista & says it's complete (shows the "F" icon flipping around & all). But, when I try to open C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx in my "C Drive", I keep getting a pop up window "Error opening file for writing" in this file & wants me to abort.
I would appreciate the help very much on what I should do. Pages on websites take forever to download.

This is an active x control. It is not meant to be opened.
Slow loads may have several causes. Assuming you have good bandwidth, most other causes are related to the add-ons you allow to run in your browser. Internet Explorer 7 and 8 both include a "no add-ons mode" which is useful. My suggestion would be to attempt running in "no add-ons mode" and notice whether or not the speed improves. If so, open IE as normal, click tools and then click manage add-ons. Disable Add-ons you don't recognize and don't need or use. I personally don't use search toolbars b/c I can easily type in bing.com and then search. This is usually faster than running a bunch of add-ons anyway. After disabling the add-ons you don't recognize/want/use, look for the column that depicts load time. Anything that takes a long time to load is slowing down your browser, disable it if you can live without it. Finally, any add-ons that you chose not to disable should be updated if available. Check the site that belongs to the vendor listed in the Publisher column of the toolbar for instructions on how to update their product. Many updates require or work better if you uninstall the old version of the product first.
If you still experience crashes and slow loading, you should consider resetting IE. After resetting IE, notice the change in speed. You can then start to install the add-ons you want, but if it slows down again, you should disable the culprit that you just installed.
This is just me personally, but I prefer to run with minimal add-ons. After resetting IE, all i re-install is the latest version of my Firewall/AV suite's browsre protection, which truthfully, isn't necessary, but I've not had problems with it.

Error: Can't write: C:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10e.ocx

When i install Flash 10, there was a error message showing "Can't write: C:\windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10e.ocx". I chose to ignore, installation can be completed but i still can't view any Flash file. I tried every steps showing in Adobe Flash Player Support Center to troubleshoot the issues, but i can't go any where. Will anyone know what's the problem and how i can install the Flash player on my laptop? I am using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer. Thanks heaps!

Is your Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit?
Can you try to download this installer http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe, save it to disk, then close all browser windows and run the downloaded installer - do you get the same message?

(C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll:5) error

When I try to install the newest update 10.3.????? it tells me this--The Installation encountered errors: A required file (C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll:5) could not be written due to insufficient permissions.
Can someone please help me?
p.s. I am the admin of the laptop.

I suggest you try the following
download the FP uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html (save to disk);
download the executable installer(s) from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html (save to disk);
close all browser windows, then run the downloaded uninstaller;
restart Windows;
using Windows Explorer go to C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
delete any remaining files in this folder;
now run the downloaded installer(s).

C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\npswf32_flashutil.exe error

I've installed the TVTrigger application (http://www.tvtrigger.com/) on Windows 7 64-bit. This application required Flash to work. I've also installed Flash 10.
However, when I start the application, I get an error that C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\npswf32_flashutil.exe is missing.
When I check, no such directory exists.
Can anyone tell me what Flash version/installer I need to use to that actually populates C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\?
Regards,
P.

Hi , The files you are speaking of are removed with the Adobe Uninstaller and then the Installer will install the needed
files into the Flash folder.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html Download this Uninstaller and put it on your Desktop
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe This is the FF Installer, SAVE it to your Desktop
Since I don't know what add ons, extensions or plugins you have, Just disable them all for now.
Follow the instructions for the Uninstaller, close all browsers, check the system tray. No programs that use Flash should
be running.
Disconnect from the Internet
Disable any and all Anti-Virus/Spyware programs that run in realtime.
Disable any Firewall that you use, except Windows Firewall
Run the Uninstaller from your Desktop, then Reboot. Wait until fully Rebooted, then Reboot again
Run the Installer from your Desktop, then Reboot
Enable your Firewall and your Anti-Virus/Spyware programs
Connect back to the Internet
Go to this Adobe test site to confirm you have the FP vs 10.0.42.34 installed http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about
Go to your plugins and make sure you have SWF(Shockwave Flash) vs 10.0.42.34 there and it is Enabled
Enable Java-the latest is JRE 6 update 18.
Then check your Flash folder and post back with the files that are now installed.
Now if you have old versions of Java installed(check the Add/Remove) you would need to Remove them via Add/Remove
and install the latest Java. NOTE: You can do this prior to the Uninstall/Install process. Post back and I'll give you the Java install procedure.
Thanks

Flash Player download fails to install at c:\WINDOWS\system32\macromed\flas

Up until a few months ago flashplayer worked perfectly fine! Now, it seems like every site I go to asks me to download it. Everything goes fine when I click on download and a box pops up to "install". When I click on install, it starts install and stops every time on "registering: c:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10b.ocx"
At this point I get the error message that tells me to go to adobe support and I have followed all of their instructions including uninstalling, downloading some SubInAcl thingy and another zip file and all that, I've reset my security settings, etc. etc. I've emailed microsoft and adobe and haven't gotten anywhere with that. Tonight I tried what the lady did with pasting that file onto my desktop and that didn't help me. I also tried going into IE via safe mode and that didn't help.
Anyone else have a suggestion???
thanks, Gina

Cannot download Flash Player 10 due to - Error opening file for writing: Flash10d.ocx

Hello all,
I am having difficulty installing Flash Player 10. I open it up, and only 10% of the download bar finishes before I get the message:
"Error opening file for writing:
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10d.ocx"
I am running Windows Vista with Internet Explorer, although I'm not 100% sure which version of IE it is and haven't found out how to check. I have McAfee for security, but I have already tried disabling the Firewall with no success.
My computer is new, so there's a chance that it already has Flash Player 10 on it since it belonged to someone else before it came to me, but I don't know how to check that either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Let me clarify:
I have already tried disabling the firewall and running the installer again, but it didn't work.

Files in c:\windows\macromed\flash

Just upgraded to flash player ver. 9,0,115,0. In the
C:\Windows\Macromed\Flash folder are the following files:
flash9e.ocx ; flashutil9e.exe ; uninstall_activeX.exe and
install.log
My question is.. I looked at a friend's machine that updated
to flash ver 9,0,115,0 using the stand alone installer and there
are about 3 more files in the folder. Which files should the Flash
folder contain?
Thanks

C:windows\system32\comdlg32.ocx failed to load

well most of the treads i see about this are in spanish and needless to say i don't speak another language i only know english so regretably i am asking how i can go about getting comdlg32.ocx to load correctly on windows 7? every time i try to load it through a commnd prompt or through the file search on the start up menu i get the same failed to load error. and that goes for trying to load the file as an administrator. any help with getting this file to load properly on windows 7 would be most appreciated.

Hi Tim
You just need to register that file on the system.
If you have verified that the comdlg32.ocx file is in the windows\system32 folder, perform the following.
First, you must be logged onto windows with an administrator account.
Go to Start / All Programs / Accessories.
Right click on the Command Prompt and select Run As Administrator in the menu.
If you see a UAC popup, select the Yes button.
Type the following command carefully, including the space.
regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx
Press ENTER
You should see a message saying the command succeeded.
Close the command window.
Try the game converter program.
Hope this helps.
Thank You for testing Windows 7

Windows 8.1 Flash Player vs. IE 11 Flash Player

I have 64-bit Windows 8.1 Update 1.
What is the difference between:
a) the Flash players installed at \sysWOW64\Macromed (the 64-bit player) and \System32\Macromed (the 32-bit player) and
b) the Flash add-on that is part of Internet Explorer 11 (it's called the Shockwave Flash Object)?
On my computer, the Flash players installed at \sysWOW64\Macromed (the 64-bit player) and \System32\Macromed (the 32-bit player) are stuck at version 12 and cannot be updated. The Flash add-on that is part of Internet Explorer 11 is up-to-date at version 14.

Hi Bulldog,
Thank you for posting the screenshots.
The Flash Player version 12 you have installed is the Plugin for non-IE browsers. You should uninstall Flash Player version 12 (download available here, Uninstall Flash Player | Windows). It's very old and contains security vulnerabilities that have been fixed. If you do use non-IE browsers, even occasionally, you should update the version of Flash Player installed, at Adobe - Install a different version of Adobe Flash Player (you'll need to navigate to the page using the non-IE browser so that it offers you the correct version). However, if your non-IE browser is Chrome, Google embeds Flash Player in Chrome and updates it whenever we have a Flash Player release, the same way Microsoft releases IE updates on Windows 8.x when there's a new version of Flash Player. Since you're on Windows 8.x you'll only need to download and install the Flash Player if you use non-IE and non-Chrome browsers.
HTH.

Flash 9E OCX Errors

Flash 9E OCX error reports. What needs to be done to correct
this problem. Thanks for your help

Ok, since this is at the top of the list in google searches,
I'll put down what I found worked to help out other people :).
Below is a transcript of a tech support question I posed with
MSN for the same problem. It may help you but you must do
everything in proper sequence.::
"Thank you for writing to MSN Entertainment Technical
Support.
This is Philippe and I am sorry to hear that you are unable
to view videos as you keep getting prompted to download the latest
Adobe Flash Player (formerly Macromedia Flash Player).
The issue you are experiencing is due to a lot of causes, as
such, solutions vary. Per our experience, the most common causes
are:
- Corrupted Flash player.
- Spyware/Adware programs installed on your computer.
- Microsoft Internet Explorer security setting is set too
high.
- The ActiveX controls are disabled.
To help you with your issue, please follow the steps below:
Note: Make sure you have the proper permissions to change any
settings on your computer. Please make sure that you are the
Administrator of the computer. If you are on a corporate network,
please contact your system ! administrator for more information. If
you are on a home network, login with an account that has
administrative permissions. If you cannot get administrative
permissions, get a person who can perform the changes for you.

Adobe Flash 10c.ocx error message?

Well, my sister and I are REALLY getting angry at whatEVER this flash thing is. I run my business on the road -am gone a LOT. Tonight when I got home, I had a very important eMail letter to send. Three other windows were open -NOTHING PERTAINING TO ADOBE!!! All of a sudden, it wiped ALL of them out, shut them down and left me with this little number above, "Adobe Flash 10c.ocx" error message, to which crap vista windows informed me, "Internet Explorer has encourntered a problem with an add-on and needs to close." No warning ... just the whole letter and ALL the other pages, GONE!
If I want to do something with Adobe, I'll do it, otherwise I expect it to sit quietly in the background and keep quiet! I have enough problems with this vista "system" -WORST ever invented. Just what vista needed, something else so it can cause more headaches!
I found this forum, and I HOPE this will be fixed VERY shortly. Thanks for letting me say.
Thank God I have almost total recall when such a thing happens, but I really do not appreciate it happening in the middle of a message so important!

1. Download & use the flash Uninstaller from here: it
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?ext...
2. Reboot to clear out any left over ocx files.
3. Rescan using Secunia PSI - if there are any insecure Flash elements left what is the path to them? U should not proceed to stage 4 until all U clear any problems found.(The overview page may look a little odd because it uses Flash for the pictorials) you can download it from www.secunia.com it's a easy tool to use just follow the commands
4. Reinstall the latest Internet Explorer Flash Player from here: ( make sure you copy the link below and open internet explorer and paste it into the address bar and press enter then download the file and it should install fine.)
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_ie/
3A.If U are also using Firefox, Opera and other Gecko-based browsers U need this link as well: ( If you are using this browser just follow the same commands as above just copy the link below and paste it into the address bar and press enter then download the file and it shold install fine)
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_fire...
5. Go to add/remove & double check Adobe have not installed the useless Adobe Download Manager - if U see an entry remove it.
Hope it helps for you i had the same problems took me days to work out what was wrong, let me know if it fix it. Melissa

I do not have any windows 8 install disc since it was preset on my computer and i don't know what to do if anyone can help me please reply to this and thank you for your time

This is clearly an issue with the drivers in your boot image. Yes, for boot image driver issues you must update the boot image and ensure it's been updated on the DPs for it to be effective.
It happens before you get a change to select a TS because its an issue with the boot image itself which must fully load for anything task sequence wise to actually happen.
When testing boot image image issues, always make sure that you know which boot image you are updating and which one was downloaded to the system as its possible they are two different things.
Also, for SP1 CU3, the boot images are based on Win 8 so make sure that you are using Win 8 compatible drivers in the boot image itself.
