Control panel show version 16.0.0.257 web shows 16,0,0,235 installed

Which version of flash is really installed?  When I check my control panel it shows ActiveX version: 16.0.0.257  I hit Check Now and I go to a web page that says I have 16,0,0,235 installed.  The table below it shows that the latest version is 16.0.0.287.  When I go to Flash Player Help and click Check Now it says 16.0.0.235 and
Flash Player is pre-installed in Google Chrome and updates automatically!
You can skip the steps below. See Flash Player with Google Chrome.
I get that there are different versions for Chrome and ActiveX.  However neither of these is appearing as what the table lists as the latest version.  Both are set to update automatically.  I don't understand why the control panel version and the web page version display different version numbers.  So what versions do I really have?  Why does it display conflicting information?
Thanks.

There are actually three Flash Player versions for Windows:
Flash Player for Internet Exporer - ActiveX
Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI
Flash Player for Opera and Chromium-based browsers - PPAPI
Maybe that's where the confusion comes from?

  • Control Panel shows Flash Player icon but not listed in Programs and Features

    Several sites such as Hulu.com and my university homework page keep telling me that I require Flash Player 10 or higher and to download and install before continuing.  So when I try, this is the message I get:  Flash Player is pre-installed with Internet Explorer in Windows 8.  And then in the box below, it says:  Flash Player is disabled.  I've tried all of the steps to correct this issue, but nothing is working for me.  Also the control panel shows the Flash Player icon, but when I go into the programs and features, Flash Player is not listed at all.  What am I doing wrong??
    OS WINDOWS 8 and IE 8

    Hi,
    Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x so you won't see a separate item in Programs and Features for Flash Player ActiveX (the version used by IE).  If you install Flash Player Plug-in for non-IE browsers it'll create an entry in Programs and Features.
    Since you didn't specify which troubleshooting steps you've taken, have you tried the ones listed here Flash Player Issues | Windows 8? Also, when you go to this page, Adobe - Flash Player do you see the Flash animation at the top of the page? If so, what version is detected as being installed in the 'Version Information' widget?  The latest Flash Player version for IE is 15.0.0.167.  If that's not the version listed, please run Windows Update to get the latest version of Internet Explorer or use the link at the bottom of the Flash Player Issues | Windows 8 page.

  • Control panel show I have flash player 11 installed. web sites say it isn't. do I need to enable it?

    Confused.  Flash Player 11 won't install,  says it's not downloaded. Control panel shows it is. Does it
         need to be enabled? If so, how.

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

  • Control Panel shows only 4GB of RAM but product specs say I should have 8GB

    My HP Pavilion Elite HPE-250f desktop is supposed to have 8GB of RAM factory installed, but the control panel only shows 4GB. When I run diagnostics with the Support Assistant software it says everything is working fine but also shows only 4GB of RAM. I've had the computer for several months now and the warranty recently expired. In the past I noticed it said 4GB and thought I must have purchased a computer with only 4GB, but it always seemed odd to me. I looked up the specs online and it says the HPE-250f has 8GB, and it also says 8GB on the box it came in. I have not made any modifications to the computer, and have never opened the cabinet. I am hesitant to open the cabinet, but don't feel I should have to pay a lot of money to figure this out.

    Hi,
    Shut down the PC.  Tap away at f10 as soon as you start the PC to enter the Bios Menu - on the first page, you should be able to see the ammount of physical ram installed.

  • ICloud Control panel shows "Mail with Outlook" only

    Hi,
    my iCloud Control panel (2.1.1) shows "Mail with Outlook" only, since i removed an ticked the check box twice.
    Should be "Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks with Outlook".
    So i did receive Mails from my iCloud account, but no syncing for Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks.
    Does anybody know how to restore the full functionality ?
    Thank you
      Wolfgang

    I have the same setup as sceloglaux (Win 7 64 bit Home, iPhone 3GS, Outlook 2010).
    I tried a reboot, uninstall, reboot again, disable and close anything I can, then reinstall. Still the same problem.
    Athough I'm not sure if I got this message before:
    Outlook Setup Error
    Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error.
    Clicking the report button brings up my profile dialog box, then I choose my profile and it just goes back to the error dialog. Try again does the same thing.
    sceloglaux - it sounds like you got it working. Care to enlighten us on what steps you took?
    Do I need to have an me.com e-mail account set up first? I don't want to sync e-mail, just calendar and contacts. I tried setting up e-mail in case that's the missing link, but I'm having trouble with that as well (separate thread, probably server issues).
    Thanks.

  • I used my key note to create a banner for the web. When I play it on my iphone or ipad the control panel shows and I have to operate it manually.Is tere anything to fix this problem?

    I have used keynote to create a banner with transitions.
    It plays OK on the web but doesn't play on the iphone or Ipad, unless i hit the control panel.
    I configured it for loop and self playing and that works fine in Chrome and Safari with no control panel visible.
    What can I do to resolve the problem and get it to work on iphone and ipad?

    This is the Mac discussion, I believe you need the iOS Discussion.

  • Firefox update 8 for windows does not recognise me as an administrator. Windows 7 home control panel shows i am an administrator. What gives and how can i make the update?

    hardware: Lenovo G56 laptop
    OS Windows 7 Home
    usual logon is using Veriface, but that executes my password.
    The upgrade window asks to choose between two profiles:
    one is mine, where username and password are pre-filled and greyed out, the other is called Administrator, with no password. If I insert my password in this field it saya 'no such account' and if Is elect my own logon (I am the only user btw!) it says I do not have sufficient privileges!
    I am going to create a second user, also an Administrator, and see if that might overcome this issue...

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version if possible.
    *Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    However after I click it, it doesn't open the app on control panel.
    nothing happen.
    It is supposed to be opened on control panel, isn't it???
    I had same exprience when I installed jitouch.
    it showed on system reference but it doesn't works.. so I just give up to use the app..
    maybe it caused by some system setting.
    anyone know how to set it up?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Exception trying to start the JRE Control Panel

    I've run into some persistent problem with seemingly any version of the JRE on my WinXP system. Whenever I try to start the control panel, either from the Windows Control Panel UI, or from the Java system tray icon, I get an exception error:
    java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 365
         at com.sun.deploy.panel.UpdatePanel.setText(Unknown Source)
         at com.sun.deploy.panel.UpdatePanel.actionPerformed(Unknown Source)

         at com.sun.deploy.panel.ControlPanel.<init>(Unknown Source)
         at com.sun.deploy.panel.ControlPanel.main(Unknown Source)
    This is what happens on the first attempt after the OS has booted, and subsequent attempts just result in nothing obvious happening (no control panel, no error, nothing).
    I currently have JRE 1.6.0_07-b06 installed, but this seems to be happening with any JRE version I try. I had remnants of older JRE's under C:\Program Files\java, and I went through ensuring that each was removed (if I could get rid of it via Add/Remove Applications, I used that) until I was down to zero other than the MS JVM that is inherently part of Windows. I then installed the current Sun JRE and still have the problem. :-\ So not sure what it is the JRE control panel is trying to do here, nor how to fix it other than reinstalling the OS (and I'm not that desperate, but it really is annoying).
    I figure it's probably something still hanging around in the Registry (<shudder!>) and poking around under HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft, I see keys for various old versions under the \Java Plug-in, \Java Runtime Environment, and \Java Web Start keys, most of which look like references to directories or files which no longer exist on the system. Any thoughts as to whether I can just safely delete these keys as a sanity check (jeez I wish Sun had steered clear of the Registry)? What I'm wondering is since the JRE control panel (when it works :-) shows you a list of installed JREs it found, I'm wondering if these bogus versions listed in the Registry are causing the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

  • Sound Blaster Z Control Panel - does it need to be in startup?

    Hey gang,
    I built a new system this past week and put a new Sound Blaster Z card in it - which I am very thrilled with. I ran this new system for about 3 days with the onboard Real Tech sound, which at the time I thought was pretty good - till I put this new card in. Really liking it so far.
    My question has to do with the Sound Blaster Control Panel, showing as a startup item. I have the option " start sound blaster Z control panel at startup " unchecked.
    However in task manager startup tab, it shows Sound Blaster Control Panel as a startup item. It does show the sound blaster control panel listed as running in the processes tab of task manager using app 45mb of ram.
    Does this process need to be running or can I disable it? Maybe it needs to be running to process sound with the settings I have chosen in the control panel?
    Just curious, thanks for any tips on this.
    - Don

    And of course now that I have asked the question, the last couple of times I have booted and checked, that is not the case - the Sound Blaster Control Panel is not showing as a running process...
    The only items I see as running processes for this card in task manager now are:
    Creative Audio Service
    SoundBlaster Audio Service
    Strange, but I can live with that .

  • No Control Panel? Windows 8.1

    Hey,
    I just upgraded to windows 8.1 pro 64bit but i don't get the option to install the control panel.
    Sound card: PCI Express X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro Series
    I installed these drivers:
    Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium stuurprogramma (for windows 8.1)
    Creative ALchemy 1.45.01
    On windows 7 64bit i didn't have this problem.
    I just had to install this driver:
    Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium stuurprogramma 2.17.0008
    And during the installation i got the option to install like 8 different programs to install for my soundcard including the Control Panel wich i pretty much only care about
    For the windows 8.1 driver i got the option to only install 3 programs in installed them all but no control panel.

    Hi dylan1990,
    You may want to reinstall the drivers again. From the details section, it did mention that the driver includes Creative Audio Control Panel in Win 8.1.
    Hope the suggestion works for you.

  • 3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics.  Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one.  From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

    Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
    There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.
