Can't delete Flash9.ocx

While trying to solve some Flash/IE installation problems, I
have discovered that I can't delete the following file:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9.ocx
I've tried safe mode, "move on boot", BartPE, and nothing
will get rid of this file. The read only attribute is set and
cannot be changed....does anybody have any ideas as to what might
be causing this?
Thanks,
Rob

Until I installed Flash 9 I've had no browser issues that I
could attribute to the earlier version (8) of the flash player I
used. However since initial install in mid-August, that's no longer
the case.
The first indication was a persistent message window re:
"flash9.ocx' file" while online gaming at the Pogo (EA) game site.
The url is www.pogo.com; but I have a member signon so I'm not sure
the error scenario can be reproduced explicitly. It did not crash
IE and I could just click "OK" and the game would continue.
Sometimes message would show up after I logged off. I was able to
browse other websites without encountering any flash errors and/or
browser crashes. Approximate error message: "Internet Explorer has
encountered a problem. File : Flash9.ocx"
I created a win/checkpoint prior to installing the Flash 9
player, so I went back and restored. No relief just stranger stuff
-- the win/restore obviously does not back off the player.
I no longer get the weird messages on Pogo but other sites
that exhibit the following scenario:
Flash content won't display;
Website displays Macromedia button & instructions to
update to latest version;
Clickable link to Macromedia (
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash).
(Specific url prompting download:
http://www.zillow.com/search/Search.htm?citystatezip=85025&mode=browse)
I did bite the bullet and re-install the player (after
another checkpoint) but the above error at Zillow persists;
regardless of win/restore. I still see the same information on the
player version, file locations, file names, and file versions.
The Adobe browser test for the Flash player version I'm using
shows: 9.0.16.0.
The flash.ocx files (v 6.0.79.0) are in both folder locations
(Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 and
Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash).
The flash9.ocx file (9.0.16.0) is in the right location too.
My OS is winxp/home(sp2); browser is IE 6.0; maintenance is
current-to-date.
I'll proceed with your advice regarding the uninstall but I
hope a Macromedia-supplied solution arrives soon -- even after
clearing cache, temp, etc. there appears to be some sort of version
conflict going and it effects browser performance.

Cannot Delete Flash9.ocx

I am attempting to remove an old windows installation from an
old hard drive. It is no longer in use; I have a brand new
installation on a different hard drive. I have deleted all the
files except those found in system32/macromed. How do I delete
these files?

Ah, figured it out. One must change the owner of the file to
the current one (or an appropriate group, such as "administrators")
under the "Security" tab, under the file's properties (accessed
when one right-clicks the file). One must also have appropriate
permissions (such as "full") to alter/delete the file.
I had forgotten how to enable the security tab, as its option
is cryptically named. It would be wonderful if the people who wrote
XP weren't obscurantists. Of course, it would also be pretty nice
if Adobe didn't think it was okay to set exclusive read/write
permissions on my own G-D computer. But c'est la vie.
If you'd like to know more about the security tab on Windows
XP Pro, or ways around this for XP Home, try this link:

Flash9e.ocx

Hi guys
Does anyone know anything about a Flash9e.ocx error message
that keeps crashing my browser in IE7 and Firefox? I've seen some
posts here before about this topic but I can't seem to find them
now.
Some people were suggesting that it was a bug in Flash Player
and that reinstalling Flash might help. I uninstalled my current
version, rebooted and reinstalled, and get the same problem. I get
the message: Internet Explorer has encountered an error and needs
to close and lists Flash9e.ocx as the add-on running when the
problem occurred.
Anyone got any workarounds? Has Adobe recognised this problem
as a bug? There's an awful lot of people having the same problem at
a games site: Miniclip.com. The game is called Anagrammatic. If I
log in to play the game and then navigate to the Games Forum page
my browser crashes instantly every time. Anyone know what's going
on?
Any assistance would be very much appreciated. Willing to try
editing the registry etc etc. Anything that might work. PS I rolled
back to Flash 8 and tried to play the game and an ActiveX control
immediately upgrades me back up to Version 9. So no joy there
either!
Is this the buggiest site on the planet or is Flash 9 the
problem?
Any help appreciated.

What are your Security Internet options set to? If it is set
to high you may prevent the Flash Player installation.
You can check this by selecting Tools > Internet Options
> Security.
In addition, here are Instructions for uninstalling and
reinstalling the Flash Player:
1. First download the uninstaller to your desktop from here
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/view...4157&sliceId=2
2. Before running this uninstaller be sure to read the
instruction and close all running programs.
3. Open the following folder
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
4. Run the uninstaller
5. What files are left in this folder?
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash

Flash9*.ocx (vs) FlDbg9*.ocx - Security upgrades

Should we be worried after going to the trouble to keep our
corporate fleet updated with the latest Flash9*.ocx that the
equivalent (or typically much lower) version of FlDbg9*.ocx is
still alive and kicking?
ie: If Flash Player is vulnerable, is the equivalent version
of Debugger Player also necessarily vulnerable?
Dreamweaver's Content Debugger Player 9.0.45.0 is still
peppered across our fleet that has just been updated to Flash
Player 9.0.115.0 (due to Adobe security bulletin APSB07-20)

To delete the Flash9.ocx file, try the following
using Windows Explorer, move the file to the Desktop
rename the file on the Desktop, e.g. to Flash9.o
now try delete the file from the Desktop
You may need to reboot Windows before you can delete the file from the Desktop.

Cannot delete Flash32_11_6_602_180.ocx from an old system disk

Hi, I am running a Windows 8 64 bit system with the most current version of Flash installed, whatever that is, since I blindly accept whatever update Adobe sends to me. My problem is that I cannot delete the Flash32_11_6_602_180.ocx file from an old system disk where I have deleted everything else in the Windows folder except the Flash32_11_6_602_180.ocx file.
I have seen very similar posts by Krischu on November 27, 2013 "Cannot delete/remove Flash32_11_9_900_117.ocx" and by Gdstuart on January 22, 2014 "How to delete Flash32_11_9_900_170,ocx," and I have tried the "takeown" method and the FileASSASSIN method suggested by MikeM to both of those posts, but my Flash.ocx file just won't go away.
I am the only user of this PC, and my user account describes me as an administrator, but I keep getting the "You need to provide admistrator permission to delete this file" when I try to delete it.
Does anyone know how to delete this file without doing what Krischu did by loading a Ubuntu system?
Thanks for any thoughts!

Well Pat, I definitely do filter what Microsoft tries to load on my system, for example, their insistence in trying to sneak in Bing. Either way, I keep my system up to date constantly.
Do you understand that the file I am dealing with is on a separate disk from my system disk? I don't see any way that the OS would automatically delete files that are not part of the current OS.
I took the disks from my old PC and installed them inside of my new PC. The old system was Windows 7 32 bit, and my new system is Windows 8 64 bit. As I said, there is only one user on my new system, me, and I am the administrator, so there is no "original Windows Administrator password" other than the one that I use every day. The only thing that I can think of is that the file is linked to my old admin user name from the W7 system, but even if that is the case, then why wouldn't the "takeown" method give me ownership?

Flash9e.ocx reported as a threat... Need help

Hi,
I just installed Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 on my
VISTA Ultimate 32 bits SP1 laptop. After running an analysis it
reported among a total of 3 files the following one as an important
threat:
c:\windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9e.ocx
What can I do with this?
- Do I simply need to upgrade? If so how?
- Do I put it to quarantine?
- Do I uninstall it? If so how?
- Other recommandation?
Thanks in advance.

I would recommend creating a folder in your "My Documents" folder and naming it "Java Programs". This will keep your programs organized and make it easier to find them.
When using the Command line, any commands you enter will not mean anything to the computer unless it knows where to find their corresponding executables. Thus, you must set both the "path" variable and the "CLASSPATH" variable (assuming you know how to get to the "Environment Variables" dialog). The former tells the computer where to find "java.exe" and "javac.exe" along with other essential programs. The latter tells "java.exe" and "javac.exe" where to find your program to compile or run it.
Do the "path" variable first. When you set this, don't just erase everything in the value field because then commands like "ping" and "ipconfig" won't fuction properly. Rather, place the new value at the end of the current value with a semi-colon between them. It should look something like this:
(original values);C:\Program Files\java\JDK\bin\The bin directory should be where your "javac" and "java" executables were installed.
Now for CLASSPATH. You will notice that there is no "CLASSPATH" variable so you will have to create it. After you have created it, give it the path to your "Java Programs" folder as it's value. Then when you begin doing larger projects requiring more than one file, just make a new folder in "Java Programs" and append the path of the new folder to the end of "CLASSPATH" just like you did for "path".
Hopefully this helps clear some things up.

Flash9.ocx add-on errors

I've been getting alot of these add-on errors lately and it
crashes IE. I've tried reinstalling flash but it hasn't helped. Is
there anything I can do other than disabling the add-on? I would
really appreciate any advice.

If you got an error message that says there has been a
problem in the Flash9.ocx, here is how to fix things...
The possible solutions are:
1) update your video drivers. For instance, with a video card
with NVIDIA graphical processor, you can use this address:
http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
Then see if you get the error again
2) If the problem is still there, you'll have to come back to
an earlier version of the flash player. Here is how it is supposed
to be done when everything goes well:
uninstall Flash Player 9 using:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/8/uninstall_flash_player.exe
then re-install Flash Player 8 or 7 using:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp8_archive.zip
3) if the uninstallation fails, here is the manual way to do
achieve a similar result but that should always work:
Go in the following folder:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
Change the name of Flash9.ocx file into _Flash9.ocx (be sure
IE is closed first)
Dowload this zipped file:
http://www.robostrike.com/pub/utils/Flash9.zip
unzip the file and place it in the above folder,
name it Flash9.ocx (the file is in fact a copy of Flash8a.ocx
and this way, it will be used instead of the bugged version 9)
Restart Internet Explorer => congratulation you are now
back in version 8 and everything should run perfectly fine!
As for my computer: problem solved!

Flash9.ocx weirdness

Surprise, surprise, Flash 9 doesn't install properly. Well,
it does on Firefox, but not on IE or for the Sony package used to
capture images off Sony cameras.I uninstalled IE7 and went back to
IE6. I've tried setting all the Internet opitons to allow ActiveX
content. I've checked the antivirus and popup blokcer settings.
I've tried all the recommended fixes, short of major surgery on the
registry. I've deleted the Safe Versions folder. I've uninstalled
and reinstalled, with and without rebooting more times than I care
to think. I even got a friend of mine who knows much, much more
about this than I look at it, and it baffled him. But here's the
weird part. When I use the standard installer found at
www.adobe.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_ie, I get an error message
that \\\\\Flash9a.ocx fails to load. When I use the complete
installer, such as found at
222.softwarepatch.com/internet/flash.html, it tells me that
Flash9b.ocx fails to register. If I look at the folder under
Windows\system32, etc., I see two Flash9b files, an .ocx and a
.exe.. I don't understand what is going on, and I really would like
to be able to use my camera software. Anyone else encountered this?
Any suggestions?

Dear Friends, I have the same Flash Player / IE problems for
several weeks now.
Followed many, many hints and waisted so much time without
any result.
Why is it so difficult to fix such a severe bug in the
software?
Please search for "flashplayer crash internet explorer" and
look how many people are really p*ss*d of by this.
Ok, maybe it is IE or Adobe software; fact is: NOTHING
HAPPENS and browsers KEEP CRASHING.
This is unacceptable and very unprofessional.
Joey (really, really mad after the xxx-the IE crash).

How to Delete Flash10c.ocx ?

My
Secunia PSI is telling me that C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash\Flash10c.ocx is insecure. I downloaded the new version
& I still get the error, apparently becuase the update leaves behind 10c.ocx. I can't delete the file from the explorer or the dos prompt. Even when I have no open programs I get the message that I can't delete it or change the name because some program is using it. How can I delete it. WHat might be using it in the background?

You can't do this, and you can't transfer purchases between accounts. There is no conflict about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match (the ID you've been using for iTunes) and using the other ID for iCloud.

Only iTunes Support can potentially delete an account (which would also delete any purchase history for it, so you would no longer be able to authorise that content on a computer, redownload it, and download updates to its apps) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
Or you could just remove any personal info from it (e.g. payment details if you have any on it) and stop using it
