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?

    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.

    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.

    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;

  • 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

    This indicates that you have a newer version (11.8.800.175?) already installed, and you try to install an older version (11.8.800.174?) over it.
    What does your Control Panel / Programs & Features say is installed?
    Can you see the Flash animation at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html ?

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in Safe Mode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

  • Error, can't write to temp

    Hello,
    On a Mac with Creative Cloud, when I try to install any application I get this error message :
    Installation failed
    Error, can't write to temp..

    Iozo the next step would be to try a new local administrator account to see if you face the same difficulties.  Are you receiving any other strange behavior under your current User account?  I would think you would be seeing errors much more often if you were unable to write to the temporary directory.
    Another option is that you may want to look at the security software you are using.  Perhaps it is attempting to prevent our installers from writing to the temporary directory.  This could explain while your file permissions are correct but you still receive the same error.

    how can I install C:\WINDOWS\system32\regsvr32 Msxml3.dll for Nokia N70 on windows XP?

    Run command:

    Msxml3.dll is a Microsoft XML parser dynamic link library. It is

    Can you guys help me out?

    Thnx a lot LomM! My younger brother run the check disk and now it's working. But now im facing a different problem. With the sound drivers. I have not sound at all. And at Device manager I see  yellow marked devices, giving me the code error 52 ("Windows
    cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)").
    So, I unistalled and re-installed but nothing. Still yellow marked. I did the Recovery thing (a couple of times using different dates ) but it did not complete successfully.  
    So I disable driver verification, while i was restarting my computer and now im getting the code 39("Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware.
    The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)").
    it's that C:\Windows\System32\drivers\ktshunk.sys which is not getting verified. Any ideas?

    Then I checked my System32 Directory, I was shocked because All of Windows Defaults Programs appeared with Locked Icon.
    Then I checked 1 by 1 Windows Program, for an Example : dcdiag.exe. I checked the Security Tab and I got this notifications : No Permissions have been assigned for this object.
    Warning : This a potential security risk because anyone who can access this object can take ownership on it. The object's owner should assign permissions as soon as possibe.
    Other Informations :

    Hi,
    According to your description, it seems like a program which start with Windows blocked the access of these app.
    To open Msconfig, you can boot into Safe Mode firstly, then open Msconfig and following clean boot process to execute the operation.
    If there is any progress, please feel free let me know.

  • Error messages on startup "C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe

    I have a new HP Envoy Desktop (2 days old); on each Restart, 2 boxes show up on the screen; 1 empty Large black box Titled "C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe;  and a smaller window titled " C:\Program Files (x86)\user extensions\client.exe; which says " Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (86)\user extensions\client.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again. These 2 boxes re-occur on every Restart of this computer?

    Hi
    The igfxtray.exe seems to belongs to Intel driver and this file is a part of quick access software to the control panel via a System Tray icon for graphics based upon the Intel.
    Usually you should see a small Intel display icon in the task bar in the right lower corner.
    The igfxtray.exe controls this.
    So you can also disable this in msconfig.
    In search type msconfig. Then choose StarUp tab and choose remove the mark from the entry containing the igfxtray.exe
    Now save the changes and reboot the unit
    That should disable this popup.

  • Can't write to windows server

    First off, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this question.
    I am having a problem with the windows server where I work. I can copy files from the server without a problem, but if I try to write a file to the server I get the following error: The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “filename” can’t be read or written. This creates a file on the server with zero bytes. Any idea how to resolve this?

    I'm having the same issue. Any luck yet?
