Flash player shows disabled or activeX enabled when neither is the case. Constant pop-ups.

I have a dual Pentium Compaq Presario SR5310F running Windows 8 and am besieged with pop-ups asking me to upgrade flash, video player, etc.

My guess is that you've contracted a malware infection.  I'd start with a reputable anti-malware/anti-virus scanner.  http://www.malwarebytes.org is free an well-respected, and there are plenty of commercial options available.

  • How do I install Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.45.2 when I have the 10.0.42.34 ?

    Do I have to manually uninstall 10.42.34? Then download 10.0.45.2?
    Or if I just go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download version 10.0.45.2 will remove the older version?
    It confuses me because on this page
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#Uninstall%20previous
    it says that "
    Before you install Flash Player for any Windows browser, uninstall all previous versions and restart your computer. For instructions on removing the player, please see "How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control" (TechNote tn_14157)."
    then gives you this to run
    Windows: uninstall_flash_player.exe
    so do I need to use this uninstaller first? Then reboot, the install the new version?

    Theoretically, updating to the latest Flash Player should remove all previous versions.  However, that does not always work.  I often find old OCX files in people's systems.
    I always use the uninstaller, reboot if there are any files left in the Flash folder, then install the latest version.  Never had any problem with this method on any of my machines.

  • Since Gamers and those who watch online videos are having trouble with Adobe Flash Player 10, why am I, who does neither, having the beast crash all the time?

    Adobe Flash Player seems to wait until I am near the end of the Yahoo comics section before it crashes, but not always, sometimes it just seems to have a mind of its own and crashes indiscriminately.

    As I am the person having this problem, I am at a loss as to what to say in Reply. I thought I was making progress just by noting that video watchers and gamers were having this problem. Then I thought that it might be worthy of note that it seemed to happen more often when I was reading the yahoo comics section, I happen to like the comics. So, I suppose that my question should be, Am I being discriminated against because I do not watch online videos, play games and happen to enjoy the comics?

  • Flash Player Update disables "restore all windows from last session" in Safari on Mac

    I am on Mac OS 10.9.5, using safari 7.1.2.  Adobe Flash Player Update loses all safari windows when after update the installer automatically opens safari and just opens flash player website; the "restore all windows from last session" is grayed out in history. The "reopen last closed window" is also grayed out. It has been happening ever since and happened again when I just installed Flash Player ver 16.0.0.257.
    For all other normal working situation I can close safari and reopen and see that I can "restore all windows from last session" and there is no problem.  But on flash Player install (set on manual install), the problem is annoying and costs me a lot of time to restore one by one from history.  I do not think this is a Mac or a Safari issue, but will update to Mac Yosemite help if Adobe Flash Player is updated differently in that setup?
    Please help.

    Update: I called adobe flash player technical support phone number 1 877-587-1877.  They want $59 (warranty only 6 months) to fix this problem as they use a third party to solve this issue; they themselves provide no support.  Or buy the paid version.  They insist it is my network issue which I absolutely can not believe.
    It is adobe Flash player update that forces reopening of safari and wracks the safari losing all windows from last session. That is not my network.  Adobe does not have a proper safari compatible flash player update.
    Besides, this is a known problem at Adobe and they are not fixing it and want money to fix it one person at a time!  They also shared that 25% to 30% of the installations have this problem... wow!! and they still will not fix it in a general update!  I wonder if safari has a plug in update that can fix this?

  • Flash player shows "Movie not loaded" on Firefox 7; would 32 bit version or mode solve?

    Flash Player 11.0.1.152 is loaded on my machine. Firefox 7.0.1 is my browser. Running Windows 7 Home Premium. Flash content which worked before now does not. When I visit Flash enabled sites, the display area for the Flash content remains blank. When I right click in the display are, I get the "Movie not loaded" message. I have seen suggestions that the current Flash version does not work in 64 bit browsers. Is a 32 bit version of Firefox 7 available or is there a way to run it in 32 bit mode? Does it sound likely that this would resolve the issue?

    This computer has two different versions of Flash Player for Internet Explorer and two different versions of Flash Player for other browsers.
    A clean install is recommended: 
    Windows
    Download the current 32 bit uninstaller    Uninstaller for 32 bit Operating Systems
    Close all browser windows and run the uninstaller 
    Restart Windows 
    Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (tip: copy and paste these paths into the path bar in an Explorer window) 
    C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flas 
    %appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player 
    %appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
    Verify that the file “FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl” in C:\Window\system32\ for 32 bit systems has been deleted.
    Download the following installer files:
    32 bit Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    32 bit Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Physically disconnect from the Internet and run the installers.

  • Trying to install flash player 9 with out activeX controll???

    i deleted something to do with xp and now i got no flash player and no activeX controll and my internet is running with add ons disabled and i cnt turn it back on.....so how do i download flash player 9???????????

    It's very difficult to help you when we don't know exactly what you did / deleted.
    If you deleted something that is part of Windows, then you can try to run the System File Checker
    Start -> Run -> type sfc /scannow [Enter]
    This will replace all missing or corrupt system files; you will need your Windows install disk for this.
    Another thing you can try is a System Restore to a date before your problem started.
    Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Restore
    Do you have any particular reason why you want to install the old version 9 of Flash Player?  You can download it from this page (the installer you will need to run is flashplayer9r159_winax.exe).

  • How to stop flash player showing errors?

    Hi, does anyone know how to stop flash player showing runtime
    errors? Is there some configuration option, or is it possible to
    write a global error handler which would catch all the uncaught
    exceptions so they don't get displayed to the users?
    In my specific situation I've got 3rd party panorama
    component in my flash site which creates some timers and listeners
    but doesn't remove them when panorama is unloaded and then errors
    keep showing periodically. Nothing else gets harmed and the site
    keeps running normally, so it would be useful to just hide those
    errors before a new version of the buggy component is released.
    Thanks for any hint how to handle this !

    skins. Fully customisable. Vector.

  • How do I allow Flash Player to communicate with Internet-enabled locations?

    Ok, so I'm trying to build a website using Dreamweaver CS6 and I wish to place a flash object in the site (a .swf file).
    I go through all the normal ways to do it, whether it be by manually placing it in, or using the Insert > Media > SWF.
    Now the main issue with this is the expressInstall.swf script it chucks out.
    Whenever I try to preview the webpage in a browser such as Firefox or Chrome, it immediatly decides to stop the flash under the pretense of it being an unsafe operation by trying to communicate with an Internet-enabled location (that location being fpdownload.macromedia.com)
    Now, regardless of whether I delete ths parameter or not, the error message always appears, so I believe this is a Flash Player error. I currently have the newest version. Also something I noticed is when I publish preview my flash objects into a flash format, that they open themselves in a html browser rather than a Flash Player program.
    So does anyone know how to allow Flash Player to communicate with internet-enabled locations?

    Would you mind reposting this question over on the Flash Professional forums?  This forum is primarily for end users, the Pro forums will get you in touch with a wider developer audience.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Need flash player 8 and java script enabled to play videos on ipad, need help please.

    need flash player 8 and java script enabled on my ipad in order to view videos.  please help.

    iPads do not directly support Flash.
    You can look for Flash Browsers in the App store for some options to try. Support is not 100%, but maybe one may work for you.  Browsers like Puffin, Skyfire, Photon etc...
    IPads do fully support JavaScript.  Just make sure its turned on under Settings->Safari->Advanced->JavaScript.
    If you require Java, which is completely different to JavaScript, again there are some browsers in the App store that support it.  Search for "Java browsers" in the store.

  • Flash player show black screen on playing streaming video.

    Hello All,
                   I'm using Bitgravity live stream in flash AS3.0. The video stream work pecfectly in FP 9. I have recently migrated to Flash CS5. I have published my player in Flash player 10. It provide better rendering and high video quality, almost like HD. But there is some issue while playing video stream in FP 10. I''m using netstream. publish(). method. Some time the Flash player show totaly black screen and but audio still plays. If we press F5 on browser it may come or may not work fine.
    Case1: Customer 1 using FP 10 turn off Hardware rendering and black out screen ploblem solved.
    Case2: Customer 2 using FP 10 truned on Hardware rendering the Black out screen problem resolved.
    I'm confused with the solution that i should provide to my customer, since it is very difficult to debug the error. For the time i have switched back to FP9 + CS4.
    How can we determine the issue. ?
    Does GPU capability is having some pipeline issue with decoding the incoming H.264 packets.with acc audio? Or the stream have some issue that flash is unable to recognize at first time?
    Thanks,
    Ajitpal

    Sounds like you've got malware alright.
    As far as image burning, I ONLY use Roxio Media Creator, or PowerISO to burn images to disk. Nero will do it, but I can't run it with Roxio (conflicts).
    You need to do thorough virus scan and cleanup.
