Flash doesn't install with IE, works with Firefox

Hi,
I am using Vista 32 bit.  Many months ago I used IE 8.  One day Flash stopped working.  I tried many times to uninstall and reinstall.  It would say installed correctly, but didn't work.  After days of frustration, I gave up and switched to Firefox, where it worked just fine. I am currently on Flash V 10.2.153.1 and just recently updated to Firefox 4.  A few days ago I downloaded Chrome and it works there too.  Today I thought I would try downloading IE 9, to see if the new version might cause it to start working, but no luck.
I have looked at Windows/system32/macromed/flash for the file NPSWF32.dll; it shows v 10.2.153.1.
In IE tools - manage addons under show all addons it has shockwave flash object enabled 10.2.159.1.
When I go to the Adobe page that is supposed to show what version of Flash is installed, I get nothing - the red F is not rotating.
Now here is one more thing - I created a test user account on my computer, logged off my account, logged on to the test account, and Flash worked with IE, and showed v 10.2.159.1.  Logged back on to my old account - still doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanx

Hi, I've been busy today getting ready for Easter and Family things:-) Just checking back in and read your thread.
I can see you are happy Great, glad that took care of it. That you didn't see this in other posts/threads isn't surprising. There are so many things that involves Flash Player. Not Installing or Uninstalling, not working & why. The "why" is the hard part since there are so many varibles that can be involved. So I usually start with the most obvious first and continue with a process of elimination. In your case I don't think the UAC was operating properly, that's why I mentioned it in the first place.
Windows is great, but it can have a glitch here and there. My "Safely Remove Hardware" was not showing up in the system tray today when I was using a USB. So I had to track that down and finally got that working.
Your touchpad drivers are doing that? I would consult the manufacturer of your computer after reviewing this in the Vista Forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-performance/touch-pad-on-ke yboard/c2f1af9d-8447-48f1-8def-2554fc0779ca
Pat would probably know more on drivers.
Regarding Norton and the MBAM scan. When running an MBAM scan it's best to just Disable Norton or any AV one would have Installed, then Close all browser windows. That way nothing will interfere with the scan or conflict with MBAM.
I hope you get your touchpad driver issue solved.
Also, don't forget to mark your thread as answered. This will help others that may have the same problem you did. The Search feature should be working again soon and that will help.
Thanks,
eidnolb

    Why doesn't my iWeb page work with google chrome?

    Bonjour
    Don't test your website with Google Chrome if you publish it into a local  folder.
    Publish to a server. You need an URL with http:// and ( not file://) to view an iWeb site in Chrome.
    You can also
    activate the web sharing on your computer (Preferences system > Sharing > Check web sharing)
    publish to Sites folder (MacIntosh HD > Users > Home folder >Sites)

  • How to open .snp files with Microsoft Office 2007 installed? It works with MS Office 2003 but not with MS Office 2007!

    I have MS Office Pro Plus 2007 installed on my computer. I also have MS Office 2003 installed on another computer. Snapshot viewer is installed on both. My work snapshot files works with MS Office Access 2003 but not recognized by MS Office Access 2007. It would not allow me to save them either! Is it a problem with FireFox (3.6.8)? However, I do not have problem opening them up using IE7/8 on both computers. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Are you clicking a download link from an email message on an OWA or webmail site? Do you get the open/save dialog for the .snp files? In that case, you should be able to associate them with the Snapshot viewer. If Firefox does not remember this and you have to do it each time, it usually indicates that the server is not sending a specific content type, just the generic "this is some binary content" content type.

  • Zoom to fit doesn't work with Jpegs (works with pdfs)

    Note: we are not talking about zoom to fit for pdf, etc but ONLY about zoom to fit for jpegs and similar graphics files.
    The problem: starting with Snow Leopard if you have a small picture in actual size but expand the window then click zoom to fit the picture will not expand to fit the larger window (yes it reduces resolution). Please don't tell me it works fine for PDFs, we know it does but talking about jpegs and similar graphics. Dozens have reported this problem but the response was to disregard the postings and then archive them. Does everyone have the same problem with JPEGS under Snow Leopard (with Jpegs only)? Anyone have a solution? A year ago someone posted and had dozens reply. Here is the posting a year ago:
    "Hello, just checking to see whether other people are having the same problem with Snow Leopard. In Preview, if you resize the window and then click View --> Zoom to Fit, it simply resets to actual size. In Leopard, it would resize the picture to fit the window.
    Is this broken for others? "

    What isn't worth my while is responding to your continual posts telling me to jump through a million hoops, in territory completely foreign to me, just to describe a simple problem. Applescripts, larger design changes, sample scripts, my general needs? Come on man, one feature of a basic program is not functioning properly, this is not rocket science, nor does it entail a great deal of complicated & detailed data! And really, if these forums are not the place to voice problems with the functioning of Apple's basic software, what are they for?

  • Why doesn't CreatePDF Desktop Printer work with Win 8.1?

    I purchased this software because I need to convert Microsoft Office documents into PDF for my job. I did not see any prompt informing me that the program was incompatible with my Windows 8.1 OS until after the download was complete and installation began. When I attempt to print to PDF using the Adobe program, it appears to be the process then nothing else happens. No file created to save, no prompts, no error message, nothing! I need to get a refund or have the finds I used to purchase this program applied to the purchase of a PDF Creator program that works with 8.1.

    Looks like the Create PDF forum has been moved to Document Cloud PDF services. You might find that a more useful place to ask questions about that product.

  • How to get Flash Player 10.1 r53 to work with Mac OS X 10.6.4.

    I have the latest version of Flash Player on my Mac OS X 10.6.4 Snow Leopard computer but I can't get videos to play.  I've read in Adobe comments that Flash Player 10.1 is not working on 64-bit systems (which is mine).  How can I get a version of Flash Player that WILL work on my Mac??  When I try to play a video from youtube.com it says I need to upgrade my Flash Player and to get it from Adobe (which I did but the 10.1 version doesn't work!!!  I'd appreciate any help I can get from anyone who can provide a solution.   Thank you.   Dave McCanna

    The Flash Player forum is here

    You will also need to specify what browser and version you are using.
    You will also need to give a little bit more info than just "does not work".

  • Will earpods with remote work with ist gen i pod classic

    will earpods with remote and mic work with i pod classic 2006

    The iPod "classic" model from 2006 would be a 5th gen iPod.
    According to the Apple Store listing for the Earpods
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD827LL/A/apple-earpods-with-remote-and-mic
    that iPod model is not listed under Compatibility.
    For the 5th gen iPod, I believe the available remore control from Apple was the Radio Remote (MA070G/A), which connects through the dock connector.

  • Dim completing in 2sec with "Admin_MakeDim"; works with "Process Dimension"

    Hello,
      Our customer dimension seems to just randomly work with the "Admin_MakeDim" BPC job, but always works if we manually process it from the Excel spreadsheet using "Process Dimension" within BPC. There are the same records in the mbrCustomer and Customer.xls spreadsheet.
      It never explicitly fails - it just processes within 2-3 seconds, so we never get an error message.
      Ideally, I'd like to find the root of the problem, but I'm also wondering if it's possible to create a custom job similar to Admin_MakeDim that uses the spreadsheet instead of mbrCustomer, at least to put in place for the meantime, as the data completely ties out when processed from Excel.
      Also, I'd like to know if there is any way to get debug/trace information for either of these two processes.
      I searched the forums, and it looks like this poster is having the same type of end result as we are, but I checked for duplicates in our table, and we don't have any:
    BPC: Admin_Makedim package is not runing
      I should also mention that we're using BPC 5.1/SQL Server 2005, both on physical servers.
      Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Dave
    Edited by: Dave Gruska on Jun 30, 2009 9:41 PM

    Hi Dave ,
    Probably we cannot create custom task like Makedim as there are specific Dll for each task devloped by BPC and later we add these DLL in Business Intelligent Development studio.(BIDS)
    Please understand how the processing happens through make dim component.
    1) add members in the customers.xls
    2) update the mbr table and give this table as source table.
    i guess this should work

  • A puzzle I made in Adobe Flash on an html5 canvas only works in Firefox, and not in other browsers. What should I do?

    I made a puzzle on a html5 canvas in Flash CC, and followed the exact steps of an online tutorial. The final product works in Firefox, but not in Chrome or Internet Explorer. What am I doing wrong?

    Call up the Javascript Console in Chrome and see if it's showing error messages.
    Also, you might try uploading it to a web server and viewing it from there (or turning Apache on locally). It may be a cross site security issue.
