Flash Player 9 crashes Internet Explorer 6.

Hello
Previous versions of Flash Player worked fine on my Win98SE
system until I upgraded to versions 8 and 9, then it became
impossible to use Flash Player without a message popping up saying
that there had been an illegal instruction in module FLASH9B.OCX.
Occasionally I had to reboot my system which had become
unstable (blue screen - system busy).
I submitted the register dump from the FLASH9B.OCX crash to
Adobe and they provided me with an uninstall tool along with
instructions on how to (re)install the latest version.
Every re-installation of the latest version always ended with
an eventual crash of the FLASH9B.OCX module while visiting
different websites,
Adobe advised me to stop using Flash Player on the grounds
that there was, in their estimation, something corrupt within my
Win98SE operating system and/or Internet Explorer version 6, all of
which I have kept up to date with the latest patches from MS.
I downloaded a fresh copy of Internet Explorer and I also ran
the Win98 tool that verifies the system files and I replaced the
half dozen files that were flagged as being suspect (checksum
error, no doubt).
In spite of this, Internet Explorer still crashes when I
visit a website which has Flash media on it (static images).
I have resigned myself to living in a world without Flash
Player.
But the price to pay for not keeping Flash Player installed
on one's system is that there are constant requests to download
Flash Player via a pop-up window, and even my pop-up blocker can't
hide these constant interruptions.
Has anyone else had this same problem and if so, have you
found a better way to live with or without Flash Player?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
UPDATE: When I go back to version 8, then module FLASH8B.OCX
crashes in the same way as version 9.
If I go back to version 7 (7.0.19), everything works
perfectly. So what was changed in version 8 that makes my Internet
Explorer crash?

up in a debugger and look for a non-MMX code path and see if I can
patch one to work.
I thought of "back-reving" to the latest Flash 7 player to
see if the issue goes away but I have yet to do that.
Good luck looking for a non-MMX code path hidden upstream of
the offending MMX instruction.
Going back to Flash 7 is relatively easy and you will
suddenly be able to visit places you haven't been in years, but
there are still some sites that will block you unless you have
Flash player 8 or 9.
First use the Adobe uninstaller to clean up which is found
at .

Then find a copy of :
flashplayer7r61_winax.exe
and run it. That will give you the latest Flash 7.

Solution center suddenly ask for enabling Adobe Flash player for internet explorer for scanning

Solution center suddenly ask for enabling Adobe Flash player for internet explorer for scanning. However, flash player is installed and enabled, but HP Solution center keeps asking for enabling and doesn't let me scan.
Any suggestion?

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @yuvalyanai
I read about the issue you are having with scanning, as you are seeing a message to enable Adobe Flash player.
To begin, I would like to know some more information:
Which operating system you are running and which printer you are working with?
How Do I Find My Model Number?
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Can you make copies successfully?
Can you print from your computer?
Have you tried updated Adobe Flash player?
Can you scan successfully from Microsoft Paint?
How is your printer connected to your PC, wireless, ethernet or USB?
In the meantime, try resetting the printer:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
I hope to hear from you, have a wonderful weekend

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums,
Download these Flash Player installers :

Fix for Flash Player in Internet Explorer Issue

I've seen quite a few people with this issue and they all
seem to have issues finding the fix...I never found a 100% solution
on Adobe's site, but I found some directions that finally worked.
Basically, if Flash Player refuses to work in Internet
Explorer for you (but works in other browsers if you've tried) then
follow the steps available at
Fix
Flash Player in Internet Explorer .
It's basically a mashup of various directions available on
Adobe & Microsoft's websites with links to all the files that
you will need to download. Hopefully Adobe can use the list to
create a fix that works.

Hopefully this FAQ will help:

Flash Player for Internet Explorer has to be reinstalled

Every time I'm booting my computer, Flash Player for Internet Explorer has to be installed. I'm using Win7, 64 bits. Without reinstalling, Real Player will not play offline. However, when accessing YouTube with IE, it plays the video without reinstalling. Computers are fun!

You need to close all iexplore.exe processes; use the Task Manager's Processes tab.

Flash Player and Internet Explorer

I continual get a message that I cannot view something because I need the latest flash player. I download and upgrade the flash player and it happens again the next day. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong. It has something to do with IE. I can view the items under Chrome.

Chrome has its own Flash Player plugin and it functions independently of IE or any IE plugins.

Adobe Flash Player in Internet Explorer 11 (Windows 8.1)

Hello
I am having a problem with Flash in IE 11 / Win 8.1. I understand it is embedded. But I keep getting the window at the bottom of the screen saying this webpage wants to run the following add-on 'Adobe Flash Player' from 'Microsoft Windows Third Party Application Component....' I click allow and the message keeps coming back. On top of this, Flash will not work.
I have a feeling there is something corrupted. I have tried to download an update (kb3004150) and it says I already have this on my system. I also have tried to install it manually using the install_flash_player_ax.exe file, but to no avail.
What do I need to do to fix this and why aren't there other options on Adobe's site?
Thank you!!!

Adjusting the ActiveX Filtering settings should help you resolve those "Do you want to allow Flash Player" prompts:
Use ActiveX filtering - Windows Help
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Installing flash player(error internet explorer)

When I try to install flash player is gives me an error message that I need to get
out of internet explorer. what does that mean?

It means that you need to close all Internet Explorer windows.
If you still get that message after closing IE, check with the Task Manager (Processes tab) if iexplore.exe is still running in the background.
P.S. you must also close any Messenger applications that are running.

Can't install the Flash Player for Internet Explorer

Hi.
Today, I started noticing my videos were stuttering a lot (something that doesn't usually happen on my computer) and I thought my Flash Player was glitching out, so I uninstalled it and deleted the registry keys for it via Iobit Uninstaller. I restarted and then re-downloaded the player.
The Firefox/Chrome/Opera etc. version installed smoothly and now works perfectly fine. In the case of the Internet Explorer installer, however, it says that a newer version of the player is already installed.
I'm using Windows 8 (64-bit) and IE10; from what I've been reading, IE10 comes with a pre-installed Flash Player. The problem is I don't seem to have it anymore. It doesn't show up in my IE Add-on list (http://i.imgur.com/mkm4JQf.png) and whenever I try to watch a video or something that requires Adobe Flash Player, it says I need the player.
Things I have tried so far:
downloaded the Adobe Uninstaller to uninstall the Player and then reinstall it;
checked if ActiveX Filtering was enabled (it was not);
reset IE settings to default;
installed Adobe Flash Player beta (it wouldn't let me; it said my Windows came with the latest version of the player);
ran the 32-bit version of the browser;
checked for possible Windows updates (it's up-to-date);
tried to downgrade the browser, without success (the IE10 update doesn't show up in my Control Panel's updates uninstallation screen);
tried to run System Restore (it failed; it said my antivirus had to be disabled, and I did, but it still wouldn't restore).
Normally, I wouldn't really mind it, since I don't even use the browser directly; software I'm using, however, requires IE (and its Flash Player) to run.
Thanks in advance.

I suddenly cannot startup Captivate 4 for reason Flash Player for Internet Explorer not installed or older version, but I have verified that Flash Player 16,0,0,235 is installed. Please help.

Hi,
I haven't used my Adobe Captivate 4 for a bit, but when I try to start it up, I get the following message:
"The Flash Player for Microsoft Internet Explorer, is not installed or its an older version.
You will automatically be redirected to the Adobe website to download the latest Flash Player.
Please note that the Adobe Captivate cannot be used until the Flash Player is installed."
Even if I click the OK button and reinstall the Flash Player, I still get the same message, when I try to startup Captivate.
I have verified that I'm running Flash player 16,0,0,235, which is supposed to be the latest version.
I'm running Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11.
Please help.

The problem is that your version of Captivate 4 needs to be updated with a patch that Adobe used to supply. (I don't have a link anymore to it.)
Captivate 4 was unable to recognise Flash Player versions beyond a certain number. It gives you a misleading error message that makes it look like you have the wrong version of Flash Player. But the real problem is that Captivate needs to be patched to recognise the latest FP versions.
I'm hoping that someone from the Adobe Captivate team will chime in here and give us another link to download the patch. Otherwise, you really might be forced to upgrade to a newer version of Cp. However, if your current projects are being built in Cp4, your next issue will be that if you purchase Cp8 it will NOT be able to upgrade your Cp4 projects. You'd need to download a trial version of Cp5 or 5.5, and do a two-step upgrade.

Unable to download or install flash player for internet explorer

I recently reinstalled the entire operating system (windows 7) on my pc and since doing so ive been re-installing a lot of software, flash player works perfectly on chrome but is not installed for internet explorer 10, whenever the add-on is detected as missing, and im prompted to download it via https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, the page simply doesn't load (see screenshot), ive attempted downloading it via chrome and then enabling it, but it still doesn't show up, i've simply run out of options

1. Internet Explorer 11 is the latest release. You might want to check for Windows updates to get IE11.
2. Concerning Adobe Flash Player for IE. Click on the following Adobe link. Go down to the bottom where it says "Still having problems?" and click on the link for Internet Explorer.
