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

Have checked the following:

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?

I have an old file that was made by macromedia flash,but I can't run this file in my Windows 7 64-bit ,while I can run it in Windows XP 32-bit

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);

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\?

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

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.

Help file open and disapper with flash

Hi,
I am facing a very strange problem.In the application help open and disappear,but CHM files are available in the program files.
Where can be the problem?
Thanks and Regards,
Rahul

1. It WON'T show up in your Start menu because it's a "plugin" for another program and not a program itself. You can find it in C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash
2. In your Control Panel under System and Security, you'll find the Global Settings Manager - Flash Player (32bit). THAT won;t be there if it isn't installed.
IE 11 has had numerous problems with numerous sites, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. There's something not right in the code. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Firefox 25 on Windows 7: Flash 11.9.900.117 freezes Firefox

I have done the troubleshooting suggested by Mozilla https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-hangs-or-not-responding
Firefox works fine but as soon as any Flash content is started Firefox locks up and I have to close the process in Windows Task Manager.
I can't go into Flash settings and disable hardware acceleration because Flash freezes Firefox completely before that.

Could you try disabling hardware acceleration via your system's mms.cfg file?
This will be located in your C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash folder (assuming that you are using a 64 bit version of Windows). Simply open up the mms.cfg file with a text editor and add the following line:
DisableHardwareAcceleration=1
Save the file and try again.
If that fails, I'd recommend reverting back to Flash Player 11.7 until this can be resolved.
Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player 11.7 for Windows or Macintosh?

Windows XP Flash Player 9 FIX (permissions)

This is the solution that has worked for me in our
organization of many computers. Before running any uninstallers or
installers you need to
first unlock the files.
(I haven't tested this but I speculate that it could resolve the
permissions issue.)
1.) From a dos prompt (start>run> type cmd and click
o.k.) navigate to the
c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash\ directory and run the
flashutil*.exe file with the switch uninstallunlock. It will look
like this:
flashutil9 -uninstallunlock.
2.) Download and run the adobe flash player uninstaller found
here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
3.) Download and install the macromedia flash player 8 found
HERE
Problem solved, something with the permissions or the way
they changed the program with the flash player 9 is causing the
erratic behavior.

Dumb Q: problem with Find And Replace window in Flash 8

Dear Flash Group,
apologies if this is trivial, it's my first day using Flash.
I downloaded a Flash project from
http://www.flashorb.com/articles/benchmark_files/flash-benchmark.zip.
This
flash calls into a web service at localhost:8080. I used the
'Find and
Replace' window within Flash Professional 8 to locate the
string
'localhost:8080' and replaced it with plain 'localhost'.
However, when I 'Debug the Movie' (Ctrl-Shift-Enter), it
still tries to
access port 8080! Obsiously, my replace command did not do
what I thought it
would do. I opened the FLA file in a binary editor, and saw 4
more
references to 8080, One if them in 'Properties' of a
WebServicesConnector,
but I cannot figure out how to find the other occurences.
Checking on google, I see lots of people having similar
problems, but no
solutions
Any ideas?
Regards, /george
PS. What do you guys do for code completion - is there a tool
that would
bring Flash on par with an professional IDE?

Agreed.

> more references to 8080, One if them in 'Properties'

Might they be the result of that WebServicesConnector
reference?
> Checking on google, I see lots of people having
> similar problems, but no solutions
That's really odd, actually. I'm on these boards every day,
and I've
never heard of this issue. I don't *think* the Find/Replace
dialog visits
panel contents, such as the Component Inspector panel, but I
wouldn't swear
to that.
> What do you guys do for code completion - is there
> a tool that would bring Flash on par with an
professional IDE?
Well, Flash is a professional IDE, of course. By definition,
if you pay
for something, you have acquired a professional product or
service. I know
what you mean, though. Flash itself rocks, but the Actions
panel can be
glaringly weak. Personally, I use SE|PY to edit ActionScript.

Folder/File Decryption in Windows 8.1

Hello,
I have a folder with some files in it, and two sub-directories also with files in them, that I encrypted some time ago, but after I've been updated to Windows 8.1.
Suddenly, even though there is only one account on this computer (administrator), it will not allow me to decrypt the folder (and/or subfolders or individual files). When I Right-Click->Properties->Advanced...->UNCHECK Encrypt Contents to secure
data-> OK->Apply, first I get a 'Access Denied' 'You will need to provide administrator permission to change these attributes. Click Continue to complete this operation.' Click Continue and get: 'An error occurred applying attributes to the file: C:\Blah.jpg
Access is Denied' and then the option to Ignore/Try Again (Same Result)/Cancel.
The only thing I can think is, randomly about a month ago, my password stopped working to sign in on my computer (strange right?). I then had to reset it online in order to get back into my computer. I haven't needed these files since before then. Could
the fact that I encrypted them with a different original password matter here?
Here's what I've tried:
Verified that under Security All users have full access (there is only me after all).
Clicked on 'Advanced'
Checked all permissions for full access.
Added HomeUsers to that folder with full access.
Added Everyone in the Share Tab.
Added my username to the Audit tab.
Added my username to the Effective User tab.
Everything says I have full control..in fact ANYONE on this computer has full control..yet all I get upon opening is 'Access Denied. You do not have permissions to view this file'.
Any thoughts?
V/R,
Larry

Larry,
The reason that you’re receiving the “Access Denied” error is because your system is unable to find the encryption key and related certificate that were used to originally encrypt the files.
The
Recover encrypted files or folders webpage states:
“You can lose access to encrypted files if you install a new operating system or upgrade your current one, or if your current operating system fails.”You must have a backup copy of your encryption key and related certificate on a disc or other
removable media (such as a USB flash drive)
If you were able to back up your encryption key and certificate before upgrading to Windows 8.1, follow these steps to regain access:
Right-click on the start button and select Run.You must have a backup copy of your encryption key and related certificate on a disc or other removable media (such as a USB flash drive) to
follow the steps below.
Type in certmgr.msc and press Enter.
In the left pane, click Personal.
Click the Action menu, point to All Tasks, and then click
Import. This opens the Certificate Import wizard.
Click Next.
Type the location of the file that contains the certificate, or click
Browse and navigate to the file's location, click Open, and then click
Next.
If you have navigated to the right location but don't see the certificate you are importing, then, in the list next to the
File name box, click Personal Information Exchange.
Type the password, select the Mark this key as exportable check box, and then click
Next.
Click Place all certificates in the following store, confirm that the
Personal store is indicated, click Next, and then click
Finish.
Note: Do not enable strong private key protection.
After you import the certificate, you should have access to the encrypted files.

Burning .aif files on a windows pc.

Hi there, my friend just recently recorded her first album and had it mastered. The guy that mastered it was using a mac and my friend wants to make copies of it herself. The file format she was given is .aif but her computer won’t let her add it to her library (windows Media Player) and she cannot burn the tracks onto a CD as a "Playable Cd". She can open and listen to the tracks and make digital copies, (Flash drives/Data disc) but cannot burn to a playable cd. Could this be a compatibility error or copy protection issue? Has anybody encountered this issue? The Mac that was used for mastering these tracks can Burn the tracks to CD but that is not an option in this case, as it belongs to someone else. Can anyone help? The CD release party is in a couple days!!!

Hi, the .aif file format on a mac is similar to the .wav file format on windows. To play it on a wintel pc you have to install quicktime on it. To burn it as audio cd on a pc you can convert .aif to .wav on a mac (or pc?) using itunes.

Jerricayoung,
you have a 13-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. It’s modern enough that it supports booting into Recovery mode. To do so, hold down a Command key and the R key as you start up. It should eventually show a Mac OS X Utilities menu. Select Disk Utility from that menu; when the Disk Utility window appears, select the bootable volume from the left-hand side of the window. (It’s typically called “Macintosh HD”.) When the volume is selected, some buttons will appear on the right-hand side. If it’s not greyed out, press the Verify Disk button; if it is greyed out, or if it reports on errors that it found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu; that will restart your MacBook Pro in its normal mode. With luck, that will be enough to get you to your normal login screen, rather than the white screen.

Flash "Spinny" loader corrupted in FF in Windows with Flash player 10

Everywhere else I have this on our site, it works fine.
Here is where it is broken
In a firefox browser (2, 3, 3.5) with flash player 10 in windows xp (flash player 9 looks fine)
Everywhere else it looks fine. I have attached the swf file & a screenshot of what it looks like when it is corrupted.
I have tried saving it several different ways, but currently it is saved with these settings:
Version: flash player 9
Load order: bottom up
Actionscript version: 2.0
things checked:
- Omit trace actions
- Export hidden layers
jpeg quality - 80
I have also tried saving it in an older version (8) with the same results. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
