Flash Player and Shockwave

I have Shockwave installed and it shows in Internet
Explorer Add-ons as Shockwave Flash Object, Enabled,Active X
Control, Flash 9d.ocx. The download showed "Shockwave Player 10.1."
I have downloaded and run the installation for Flash Player. I
receive a message that the "Flash Player was installed
successfully" but it does not show in Add or Remove Programs and
does not show in Explorer Add-ons. I have tried rebooting after the
installation but apparently the program is not installing. Can
anyone . Could this be a setting problem? Can someone help?

Received this message on September 29. I still cannot get my
flash player to work. I can't get it to enable.

This might be extremely simple (but I was having the same
problem that everyone noted and tried everything to no avail).
After beating my head against the wall, I looked at the add-ons
that were being used for IE. I noticed that some of the Adobe
add-ons were disabled (specifically the one with Flash and Active
X. So I enabled them and I was inmediately able to view flash
player files. I rebooted the computer a couple of times and it
still held true. Then I decided to disable the add-ons once again
and voila! - I could not use the flash player again.
Anyways, hope this helps someone else and that it is not
temporary.
By the way - I am running regular Windows XP

  • What's the Difference Between Flash Player and Shockwave?

    Hi,
    I was wondering what's the difference between Flash Player
    and Shockwave? And how do you know which one isn't working? I
    downloaded and installed Flash Player successfully but it did say
    that the plug ins might be in another file and may not work
    properly. There is one game that will work, but most everything
    else doesn't. I don't get pictures (like adverts, ect.) in my
    email. What is the problem?

    I have found this site helpful. Adobe has a "Test Adobe
    Shockwave & Flash Players" site. Here is the address:

  • Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave crashing has disabled my computer

    I have downloaded a second flash player and it is still the same. Firefox has been crashing daily for a few weeks. I noticed that your adblocker plus was updated 6/4. Since then I have almost no use of firefox, because the Adobe flash player 13.0.r0 and Shockwave crash notices are constantly popping up. Could that update have something to do with why the flash players are not working? Below are an example of the crash details.
    Thanks for the help. I prefer your browser, but this has made it non-functioning.
    In trying to fix it, a window came up that asked would I like to change it back to a previous working image, which was Windows XP. Although this computer is Windows 7, I clicked the box yes, and said I wanted it to work like Windows XP. I see in your Operating System below, that it reads Windows Xp, but this computer is actually Windows 7. I can't find that menu to change unclick and change it back, so that it is working as Windows 7.

    If that doesn't work try Try to disable Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 and above by adding the line ProtectedMode=0 to the Flash "mms.cfg" file located in one of these locations: [46]
    (Windows 32bit) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
    (Windows 64bit) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    For example, on a Windows 7 64-bit system, open the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, copy the file "mms.cfg" to the desktop, open it in Notepad, add a new line <code>ProtectedMode=0 </code> and then close Notepad, saving your changes. Next, go back to the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash folder, rename the original file to "mms.cfgBAK" (to save it as a backup) and then drag and drop in the modified "mms.cfg" file from the desktop. [47] [48] [49]
    Note: To re-enable Flash Protected Mode, either restore a backup of the original mms.cfg file, if you saved one, or else re-edit the mms.cfg file to remove the <code>ProtectedMode=0 l</code> line you added. Updating Flash Player or installing a newer version does not automatically re-enable Protected Mode
    Flash has been a pain since day 1 and Mozilla is currently working to replace Flash with Shumway. Unfortunately it's in the Nightly channel, doesn't come activated automatically and it isn't quite ready for normal usage. I just tested Nightly yesterday with Shumway and it wouldn't play.

  • Flash Player and Shockwave player Not Recognized

    I have Safair running in Rosetta.
    Some webisites state I need 7 or above Flash Player and that I don't have Shockwave Player- but I do!
    I tested them at the Adobe webiste and it states I have Flash Player 8,0,24,0 and Shockwave l0,1r,11 Successfully installed.

    Susiecat, there is a new Flash Player 9.0 plugin beta that runs natively on Intel Macs and probably will be general release soon. The new Shockwave Player 10.1.1r16 plugin still needs to be run with Safari in Rosetta mode but probably will be ported to run natively on Intel-based Macs soon.

  • Flash player and shockwave crashing on my website

    I am using an open source flash effect on my new site (www.tristanstroud.com) called Piecemaker2.
    After running fine for a few minutes it ether freezes or I get the message shockwave flash player has stopped responding do you want to stop it.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest flash and shockwave players. 
    I have tested this on two seperate stable powerful systems: laptop (Windows 7 Ultimate, 2.0Ghz Intel i7 quadcore, 8GB RAM) and my desktop (Windows 7 Ultimate, 3.2Ghz AMD quadcore, 12GB RAM). It works fine for a while but then the header with the special effects freezes. Refresh fixes it untill the next crash or sometimes all of Google Chrome freezes and as to be restarted.
    Any idea why Flash Player and Shackwave are crashing and how to fix this?
    Thanks

  • Flash player and shockwave player "not installed"

    I recently downloaded the most current shockwave player and
    flash player, but when I go to a website that requires the program
    it tells me that I need to install the shockwave player/flash
    player. I download each again and have even shut down and rebooted
    to see if that helps but it doesn't, it keeps telling me that the
    shockwave player/flash player is not installed and that I need to
    install it again. Can anyone help me find out if there are any
    settings that might need to be changed on my computer to let them
    run? Customer support was no help what so ever and just told me to
    reinstall.
    Operating System: Windows XP
    Browser: Microsoft IE version 7
    Thank you very much

    I am having the exact same problem. All are Windows XP SP2
    machines. Funny thing is, it seems only to be occurring on a
    certain 'block' of newer computers. anything more than about 8-10
    months old, and the app runs fine. Brand new machines <1 month
    old are fine. I have a number of machines in that 1-8 month-old
    range that are exhibiting the problem. I found this
    here
    but it does not seem to work. Anyone else with this issue?

  • Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave Player

    In the past, when I goto Adobe's website and choose the "flash and shockwave" test, I could easily see what version were installed. At some point with version 3.2, I guess shockwave was removed. It is no longer in the plugins folder.

    Regarding Rosetta emulation for Intel Mac... If you have installed the latest update of shockwave 11 you will need to untick/disable Rosetta as sw 11 is supposed to have resolved the reason Rosetta was needed in the first place. Also, having Rosetta enabled causes web pages running on Java to not work.
    I have a problem using Safari with a shockwave dependent web game that I am an administrator for so this problem is something I hope I can somehow fix. Other administrators using Safari are not experiencing the same issues so I'm thinking it's something in my computer causing this issue. I cannot supply the URL for this site as we are working on a beta for a new release of the game and the URL is password protected and I am not free to disclose as per confidentiality agreement with the game's creator.
    iMac G5 OS 10.4.11 Safari 3.1.2 Recently uninstalled and installed the latest update added to shockwave 11. I have not yet updated Safari to 3.2.1
    I have no crashes while on the site but I have a very annoying delay when entering text into the text field of the game. The characters delay before showing up and I have to hit enter several times to send my text to their server. I used the browser Opera v8 for a few years due to this issue with Safari but after the site was updated to allow for shockwave 11 I had to update Opera and the text issue is even worse than Safari. The game's creator and other admins using Mac are of no help as they are not having the same problem. Is there anything I can do within my system to try to resolve this issue? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  • Adobe flash player and shockwave keeps crashing

    why cant you not fix this issue with all games on facebook and zynga games as it keeps crashing and freezing and we have to send a report every 5 minutes to you guys this is getting nothing but a pain in our butts either you fix the problems or be reported to the better bussiness office you need to fix this asap every time we play games it stops and says send report to adobe which we do all the time this has been going on for about 9 months now and it nothing but a pain in my arse you guys are making me sick you update it all the time, but you never have a fix you need to have a fix for windows 7 and windows 8. i bet all you guys that do updates for the flash player i bet any money you guys are just drinking coffee and eating donuts and on your phones you guys are nothing but a f----------- joke

    I have this issue/problem me tooo.
    And i have the latest adobe flash player version and the latest mozilla firefox 26.0.
    BUT STILL CRASHING WHY DON'T FIND ANY SOLUTION TO MAKE IT MORE STABLE THIS FROM A VERY OLD VERSIONS OF FIREFOX?
    WHY CHROME AND OTHER BROWSERS DOESN'T CRASH WITH ADOBE?
    MAYBE BECAUSE IT USE AN INTERNAL PLUGIN FOR FLASH AND NOT THIS THE ADOBE WAS RELEASED.
    PLEASE MAKE THE ADOBE FLASH PLAYER STABLE.

  • Is Flash player and Shockwave plugin different?

  • Flash Player and Shockwave will not install

    All Adobe download pages seem dead. I click on the 'install' tabs and nothing happens.
    I've disabled my firewall and it's still the same.
    Uninstall tabs work but not install tabs.
    Any idea what's happening?

    You will need to furnish your Operating System, 32bit or 64bit. Browser(s) used and versions.

  • Flash Player and Windows 7

    OK.  I also have the issue with Flash Player seeming to download and install but not work.   I checked the activex addons and it shows up.  I can't find a directory anywhere even after changing the settings to show all.
    And if this is not annoying enough I have the same problem w shockwave.
    I realize that w W7  I'm missing something  but with all the reorganization I can't find things.
    Suggestions please.
    I did find in control panel a selection called default programs and under that a selection which is associate file extentions w programs
    I see that .swf is for shockwave flash player but it labeled as unknown app.  It appears that I can set that but first have to find the programs.    even after setting file options to show hidden files I could not find  either the shockwave or flash player
    Well I am not sure if I have progress or regression....  I deinstalled it all.  then reinstalled shockwave.  It said I needed to reboot to complete the install.  I let it....  no shockwave.  I went back out to the installation and tried again and it says I need to reboot to complete the install.  I've gone round this loop 4 times.   I checked in the registry for anything adobe and only found reader.
    I guessl neither shockwave nor flash player  is compatible w W 7  yet
    Message was edited by: AnnoyedInOH
    well after 3-4 reboots it says it's installed... again... but still does not work.  I found another thread here that said it should be under windows/system32/Macromed/ ...  something..   I don't have the directory Macro anything directory.
    Message was edited by: AnnoyedInOH

    First.  IE has entries for the flash player and shockwave.  The Java level I have is JAVA 6 update 14
    Second.  Both the flash player and shockwave are installed according to Programs and Features on the control panel.
    Third:  There is no Macromed directory under system23.  I did find one under:  c:\windows\SysWOW64.  The Macromed directory does have a Flash directory with 4 files.  Flash10d.ocx, FlashUtil10d.exe, an install log and uninstall_activeX.exe
    Fourth.  The control panel has a selection called: Default programs.  when I click on that I see a selection that allows me to associate a file type with a program.  In that list  .swf is not associated w anything.    Since .swf files are not associated w the flash player should I associate them with the flash player?
    I have no problem w updating Java to update 18.  I am reluctant to delete the older version though as I have encounterd programs in the past which won't run with newer ones.

  • Flash Player And adobe reader not working and downloads don't work

    I have IE 8 and windows vista and everything has worked great for 2 years until 2 or 3 weeks ago.  At that time my flash player stopped working so I could no longer get videos , streaming stock quotes, weather map loops, etc and when I go to websites that use Flash (i.e. Piaaz Hut) it wouldn't work.  Also, at that same time my adobe reader stopped working properly and I can't view mosy PDF Files.
    I have gone through many of the posts on this forum and have tried many of the fixes, but none have work for me.
    I tried to uninstall the Flash Player, but I didn't use the Adobe uninstaller.
    Whenever I try to update or load the Flash player, a dialog box with the globe tossing papers to the folder appears and then after a few seconds I get the the message that IE can't install_flash_player_ax.exe from fp download.adobe.com, and then a message that says IE was not able to open this internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.
    In control panel programs I have listed
    Adobe AIR      no size
    Adobe Flash Player 10 active X           no size
    Adobe Reader 9.3     141mb
    Macromedia Shockwave player      no size
    In Tools i have the following add ons and they are all enabled
    Shockwave Flash object 10.0.42.34
    Adobe PDF Link Helper
    Adobe PDF Reader
    Macromedia Shockwave Active X Control 10.1
    As I said I've already attempted a number of the fixes on this forum, but so far no luck.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I might try?
    Thanks

    Ok, I tried to download the firefox browser but IE wouldn't let me download it.  My friend downloaded it from their computer to a flash drive and I loaded it to my computer from the flash drive.  The download of Firefox from the flash drive worked, and now I'm using Firefox & both my adobe flash player and my adobe reader are working just great.
    However, neither the flash player nor the reader are working if I use IE, so I guess I will just have to use Firefox as my browser.
    I'm going to mark my question as answered since I really don't care that I have to use Firefox instead of IE,although I can't understand why it works using Firefox but not using IE.
    Thank you so much for your assistance in walking me step-by-step through this problem until I was able to reach a satisfactory solution.

  • Adobe Flash Player and IE8

    I am using Internet Explorer 8. I have tried to install Flash Player 10.2.152.32. It goes through the Installation Manager & appears to have done all the installation with no problems. I get no error messages & get an installation done confirmation, but it still doesn't work, I can't view any flash materials.  I have tried using the manual uninstall & install for flash player, same result.   I also check for shockwave.... add on on IE8 but is not available?   I am currently using windows xp 32bit sp3.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks, Mario

    Hi, So you don't find the Shockwave Flash Object in all addon category under "Show"? If that isn't Installed, then that is why you can't view Flash Content. That is the Control for Flash Player and it's needed for FP to work.
    When the Shockwave Flash Object isn't Installed, the reason can be several things. The Administrator Account that has the Permissions needed to Install Flash Player wasn't used. An Anti-Virus blocked the Install of it. A Virus active or has been removed. A Kill-bit is set in the Registry or just Registry Issues.
    Have you had any Virus/Malware? If so what program removed it?
    What Anti-Virus/Spyware program do you have Installed?
    I would check first for the Kill-bit. This thread has info on it:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/782435?tstart=0
    Go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash  Open Flash and post back the files listed.
    I'll check your thread tomorrow.

  • Flash Player and Youtube not Working but Vimeo does?

    Hi guys,
    We are currently deploying Windows 7 out to all Staff and Student PCs, we've had it on our IT Department's PCs for the past year and have had no issues with Flash Player and Youtube.
    However, a Tutor reported that when they go to YouTube and select a video it buffers, plays a second or so and then goes to 'An Error Occurred, Please Try Again Later'.
    If we disable Shockwave Flash Object it redirects to the HTML5 website and that works fine.
    Software:
    OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit
    CPU: Various (Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel i5, Intel Xeon E5
    RAM: 2-4GB DDR2, 4GB DDR3,
    Browser: IE10, Mozilla Firefox v19 and v24
    Adobe Flash Player ActiveX: v11.8.800.175
    Adobe Flash Player Plug-in: v11.8.800.168
    Diagnostics:
    Tried completely uninstalling Adobe Flash Player, restarting PC, installing Adobe Flash Player
    Tried Adobe Flash Player Beta
    Tried disabling Hardware Acceleration
    Uninstalled IE10, Tried on IE8, Same Issue
    Tried removing all Computer and User Policies
    Checked if it was a VLAN issue but is happening on both 10.32.x.x (student) and 10.64.x.x (staff)
    Tried on IE9 same issue
    Scrolling along the seek bar at the bottom shows all of the stills fine.
    Enable ActiveX Filtering resolves the issue but that's just because it goes to HTML5 too.
    Any help is appreciated
    Andy

    I am also facing similar issue. I tried literally all solutions and then finally gave up and reinstalled windows 7 after clean format,
    Immediately after fresh OS installation,Youtube just worked once with flash player for hardly 3 to 5 seconds and then crashed with error "an error occured please try again later- Learn More"
    Tried reloading that same youtube video which initially worked for 5 seconds,but on second try it won't load at all.Tried all the other videos as well and same result,they won't play even for one second and same error "an error occured.."
    Scrolling along the seek bar of stuck youtube video shows vid's still images just fine but video won't play at all.
    Tried it with firefox,IE,Chrome and same result.
    Youtube works fine with Html5 player.
    Until 5 days back everything was working just fine, maybe either flashplayer got updated or Youtube changed anything which is causing this problem.
    I even did a clean windows 8 install on another pc and that pc is also showing same symptoms.
