Flash Player 9 Gone Wack

Hey, I haven't found anybody else with this exact prob. So
here it is:
I"m having problems with the flashplayer9 and cannot find a
reference to the prob I'm having with it. And it just started out
of the blue last night. So it's a either a bug, or a software
incompatibility.
I am having some very strange/serious probs with flash9.ocx.
It went wack last night (IE gave me an error message that the
add-on "flash9.ocx" was causing an online crash!). While I was
IMing with a friend. This has never happened before.
I am not computer illiterate. I disabled the active X control
first then tried to redownload the flash player. It wouldn't let
me. So I deleted that active X control and tried to reinstall the
flashplayer--won't work at all. What is UP with that?
Need your help. The flashplayer is an integral part of the
Internet experience.
TIA,
Sherry Richards

NOTE: I thought this might be a virus problem. I am running
Kaspersky and it DID find 1/1. It would be nice if someone on this
forum would actually take the time to answer this problem!

Flash Player gone crazy.

I have windows vista and internet explorer 8. The flash player repeatedly crashed and I attempted to download it again. The instructions said to uninstall previous versions which I did. Now I have re-downloaded all evening to now avail. I have attempted to do it manually and no luck. I am disablled and my computer is my link and I have no idea what to do next. Please advise

Hi, Perhaps a step or two was overlooked, which is easy to do. Try this:
When you were Installing did you receive any error messages? If not then you would need to Uninstall and Install again.
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Uninstaller:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE- use the EXE Installer
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Close all browser windows, you only want to be looking at your Desktop.
Disable any messenger services, as yahoo, msn, etc in the system tray(area near the clock)
Disable your Anti-Virus/Spyware Program until Flash Player is Installed.
Be sure to use the Administrator Account.
Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
Check to make sure your Anti-Virus/Spware is still Disabled before running the Installer
Run the Installer for IE, and when finished, Reboot.
Then go to this test site and test each browser:

You may want to print these instructions to make it easier to follow. If you have any questions, let me know.

Flash Player gone with Firefox, Still works with IE.

Flash Player suddenly stopped working with Firefox.
I uninstalled and reloaded. Works with IE, but still not with
Firefox. That's my primary browser. Any ideas?
Thank you, -Bob

davexnet,
Thanks very much for the suggestion. Tried, no luck. I also
tried to download an update for an anti-virus program and it
returned the same error as the Flash Player download. So, must be a
Firefox problem, right? Error message was........"exe could not be
opened because an unknown error occurred." Thanks again, Bob

Wheres my Adobe Flash Player gone? HELP

Hi
about 2 weeks ago my flash player disappeared off my computer and now when i try to download a new version it refuses. Help me please (mother can't go another week without catching up with downton)
What to do?
Thanks in advance
GBT

I would not trust any non-Adobe site with the several malware applications disquised as Flash installers making the rounds. The last PowerPC version of Flash Player can be downloaded directly from Adobe:
Flash Player 10.1
Installers for all major platforms are included in the Zip archive.
Regards.

Flash Player gone missing... again

Up until yesterday, if I doubleclicked on a downloaded .flv file, it loaded and ran in a separate standalone window ("console"?) on the desktop. Today I got a message asking me what program I wanted to use to open the file. It only offered Firefox, and I mistakenly clicked OK. Fail! - does not open file, only tries to make copies of itself. Now I am trying to reset the file association back to Flash Player, and I can't find it to point to. What is the name of the Player file, and where is it located, please?
Win 7 64-bit;
Firefox 3.6 with FlashPlayer plugin installed and enabled.
YouTube runs normally in both FF and IE8
Also: once or twice a week I get an update box from Adobe to install/update Flash Player (I'm guessing this is the browser plugin, I'm not sure) - I click Yes, it runs, tells me it installed correctly, and then I repeat a few days later, and a few days after that...?

Thanks for the response.
The Firefox plugin is ver. 10.1.102.64 - I had deleted it and reinstalled from the Adobe download page as a first step. As I said, online videos run fine in the browser viewers.
I downloaded Flash Projector and pointed the .flv file association to it. When I doubleclick the file(s) now, the Projector opens in its own window, but nothing runs. "Open File" does not give me a <Browse...> option, only a command line where I have to type in the entire path name :-(
BTAIM, this is not the player that I used to run on the desktop. I am completely at a loss as to what happened to it.
I suspect that the player was the browser plugin that was running without all the browser chrome. I would like to associate that plugin, but I can't find where it is located - the File Location for both FP plugins is cloaked in the Install/Remove Programs list for some reason, and without a file name I can't track it down with Search. It doesn't seem to be in a Firefox/Plugin folder - would it be a Hidden File? (Just thought of that)

In eBay & YouTube, I get the message to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player; I have gone through the download and installation procedure several times, but still get the same message - why can't I install the latest version on Firefox?

In eBay, I was trying to upload pictures when I got this message: "You need the latest version of Adobe Flash Player to use the standard picture uploader.
Download and install the latest version from Adobe before continuing."
In YouTube, when trying to watch a video, I got this message: "You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video."
I have gone through the procedure for downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, but still get the same messages when I reopen Firefox and revisit these sites.
There does not seem to be the same problem with Safari, which runs the latest version of Adobe Flash Player with no trouble.
I am using an iMac running Mac OS X Version 10.6.7.

You can find the latest Flash player for Firefox on this page.

For Firefox on 64 bit Windows, you need the 32 bit Flash version version because Firefox is a 32 bit application.

Hi..
Assuming you are using Safari ...
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Make sure to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin first.
Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

Flash player activeX is gone missing

Our users are using Windows XP, IE7. We have just recently updated the flash player to 10.0.45. Ever since the flash version 10.1.53 released, our user keep complaining that they cannot browse flash website, such as youtube. I went to their system and found that the flash player activex is gone missing from Add/Remove programs. Even after I manually update their flash to version 10.1.53, some of the users still getting the same issue: flash player activex is gone missing automatically! Users don't have adminsitrator privillege. So they can't remove the program by themselves. Does anybody experience the same issue? Is it caused by the release of new flash? Every time a new flash released, when user browse a flash website, such as youtube, it will prompt user to get the latest version. Most of the user don't know they can't update the flash without administrator right, so they will click on the update link and attempt to install the update. Will this cause the current flash get uninstalled? If this is the reason, can we turn off the udpate warning and keep the current version as long as we want?

Thanks, Willener. The link does provide a solution to turn off the update notification on a single machine. But in our environment, we have about 500 users. We cannot go to each of their machine and turn off the notification. If I want to turn off the notification globally, is there a way I can do it by changing user's registry with AD group policy?
I found some information from Adobe site. We can create a file name mms.cfg. Inside this file, there is one key and value: AutoUpdateDisable=1. If we put this file in to user's (XP users) c:\windows\system32\macromed\flash, then it is supposed to turn off the update notification. I have tried this on our test machine but after a few days, the flash player activex 10.1.53 still gone missing, without any warning message.
I am unsure that the flash player activex's gone missing is caused by user attempt to update it without administrator privillege. Let's say youtube had been working fine with flash player activex 10.0.45, how could it suddenly stop working as the 10.1.53 released, which force user to click on the "you need to update your flash player" link from the flash website.

How can I install Adobe flash player on my Mac using Safari OR Chrome? I have gone through every step on all of the help pages. The installation process always stops with the black box that briefly says, "Retrieving Install . . . ", then nothing.

I have followed every step in the various help pages I was directed to when troubleshooting the inability to install Adobe Flash Player on my Mac using either Safari or Chrome. Everything has failed. I always get the black box that says briefly, "Retrieving instal. . . " and then goes blank. When I close that window, I get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." Then it gives some links to follow for troubleshooting. I have followed ALL of the links there and on other help pages, to no avail. I've run into problems installing Adobe before, but it's never been this bad. Would someone please develop another format besides Adobe? Trying to get help from Adobe feels a little like trying to find a building in New York City with no map or GPS. The time required is voluminous, the emotional energy a/k/a frustration is overwhelming, and long before I get anything resolved, I wish the earth would open up and swallow all things Adobe@. Absence that miraculous intervention, I have to figure out what to do next. Does anyone know? Anyone?

Same question, same answer: use the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

Hi Zaffar,
It sounds like you might not have the newest version of Flash installed. Firefox will stop some older versions of Flash from running in order to protect your security.
To install the latest version of flash:
# Go to this page on the Adobe website: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
# About three quarters on the way down the page is a section titled ''Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives''
# Tap the first link in that list to download Flash 11.1.115.81
# Once the download is completed, install Flash by swiping down from the top of your screen to show your notifications. Tap the ''Download Complete'' notification to start the installation.
# When the installation is finished, quit Firefox and then relaunch it.
# Enjoy your newly-working Flash! :D
I hope this helps. Reply to let us know if the problem is fixed!

Thanks for your valuable time, I already have the latest Flash player installed :(
And the videos are showing properly in "Next Browser" as well as in "Dolphin Browser" it just recently stopped in Firefox that is also latest and updated.....

SUBWOOFER ON dELL E310 HAS GONE OUT TO LUNCH WITH ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10.3.181.34

We updated our Adobe Flash Player software to version 10.3.181.34 and now out subwoofer doesn't want to work.
We are running a Dell E310 PC that has Dell A425 30 watt 2.1 speakers with a subwoofer [cn-0w8037-71623-58H-2013 rev A00.]
The stereo speakers work fine but the subwoofer has stopped. It just sets there and quietly hums..There is no reset button for it to be reset.
I believe alll three speakers come as a system and are called:a ZYLUX MULTI NEDIA COMPUTER SPEAKER SYSTEM POWERED SUBWOODER
How do we turn the subwoofer back on? Evem Kitty Wells sounds pretty good with the other two speakers with the subwoofer.
I'm 73 years old nd still trying to learn this pc stuff.

Hi again Jay,
The Flash files that are in the SysWOW64 location, those files need to be there, but more complete info should be listed.
Could you post back the complete info on the Flash .ocx, .dll & the .exe? Otherwise I have no idea what version you have.
Also, go to Tools, Manage addons and look for Shockwave Flash Object. What version is it and is it Enabled?
All of the above is important as they make up Flash Player. I do not need any Install log info, so please don't post that.
Thanks,
eidnolb

When they are gonna insert flash player in the i-phone 4

i want to know why they did nt insert flash player in the i phone 4 yet

Here is what apple thinks about flash
Flash was created during the PC era – for PCs and mice. Flash is a successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they want to push it beyond PCs. But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short.
The avalanche of media outlets offering their content for Apple’s mobile devices demonstrates that Flash is no longer necessary to watch video or consume any kind of web content. And the 250,000 apps on Apple’s App Store proves that Flash isn’t necessary for tens of thousands of developers to create graphically rich applications, including games.
New open standards created in the mobile era, such as HTML5, will win on mobile devices (and PCs too). Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.

Flash Player 10 Component player skins gone

Anyone know how to fix this issue? I installed flash player
10 this morning and now videos that had a component player skin on
them do not have them any longer.

We too have noticed a few new nasty parsing differences in the new 10.1.53.64 player. Not only with '<' and '>' but with other character entities (named, hex and decimal). From our analysis it appears that the new player parses CDATA differently than before. In our case we've found that we'll probably have to add '&' to every character entity by hooking into the XML object's 'onData' method.
Due to the volume of content we have changing the source content is out of the question.
As far as I can see the only bug that seems to be logged for this is: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-5031
I would recommend going there and voting to have this addressed.
I wish Adobe would acknowledge the issue by either saying it was a purposeful change or a bug. My vote is that it's a bug.
