Flash won't register for IE8 on xp sp3 home edition, but works in Firefox

Windows XP SP3 fully patched (32bit), IE8.0.6001.18702, Firefox 3.6.3, Eset NOD 4.0.437.0, Comodo Firewall 3.9.95478.509
I've been trying to sort this out on and off for the last three weeks...nothing I do seems to remedy the problem.
I had version 10.0.32.18 installed and running. I tried to install the updated 10e version of flash player and since then haven't been able to get FP working with IE8. The Firefox plugin wouldn't work with the 10e version, but seems to work fine with the later 10h installation.
I've read the articles in the support literature (tn 19166, 19148, 4da116d3, etc.) about installation and followed all the recommendations, numerous times.
I've run the uninstaller, also the special uninstaller for CS5 & pre-release version. I've run the subinacl tool. I've attempted installation using the online download manager, and using the downloaded ax.exe installer. I've attempted to open a new user account and install the FP there.
Always the FP fails to register.
As you know, the default admin account in unavailable in xp home edition, even when you right click on a file and attempt to "run as", you can only access the established user accounts... I am installing from one of those, an administrative account, with full access. I attempted to install from safe mode with networking. (the default admin account). That didn't work either. I've added what were missing registry keys (the D27 clsid and typelib entries, and given them full access), after reading the advice in this post.(http://forums.adobe.com/message/2924210?tstart=0) Still no luck...
I'm out of ideas...
I wonder why the latest installer wouldn't write the missing D27 registry keys on its own, if those are required and were missing...Isn't an installer supposed to write registry keys for the product it's installing?
Anyway, I'd love to work this out, as I prefer to have a fully functional versiion of IE8 on my system, and without a FP, it's missing something...
I am running Eset NOD32 as an AV, and Comodo IS with only the firewall and Defense+ working, but I have attempted installation with them both disabled, as well as actually uninstalling the comodo firewall from the system...
The only other active security measure is Windows Defender, though I have some non-resident anti-malware and anti-spyware scanners installed, they are not running processes. (MBAM & SAS). I had WinPatrol running, but disabled it while I attempt to work through this issue.
I'm about to do a clean install of xp just to get flash working....that seems a little extreme to me...everything else runs flawlessly...but I'm open to ideas...and welcome experienced advice that will lead me to a solution...Thanks in advance for any time you spend with this...
ps the windows/system32/macromed/flash entries after an installation include these files:
The latest installation log is:

Thanks for your response...
I can wait. After all, it was by waiting for the release of the 10h version after the 10e version sabotaged my flash installation, that I was eventually able to at least get Firefox up and running flash again...
It's just frustrating to think that the folks at Adobe can't come up with a better product testing cycle so they are unleashing these problems on end users systems...
I recognize that there may be some sort of issue with my particular system registry. If so, I wish I knew what it was...but flash releases are the only installations I ever have any difficulty with...All of the other software I run updates without failing....sad to say...
Perhaps I will try running a home edition version of secedit (See here)http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222 instead of the clean or repair install...I'll let you know what I decide and how it works out...
Anyway, thanks for the input..

Flash Player not installing for IE8

I'm trying to install Flash Player into my IE8, but when I go to "Get Adobe Flash Player", it brings up a page saying "Sorry Adobe® Flash® Player is not available from Adobe.com for your device's operating system or browser." I checked the 'supported operating systems and browsers' list, and found my OS (Windows XP) and my browser (Internet Explorer 6.0 and above) in the list. I also have it installed on Firefox, so I'm wondering why it won't install into IE8? Thanks in advance!

Hi, What Service Pack do you have Installed on the XP? FF uses plugins. Flash Player Installs an ActiveX Control into the IE browsers.
Thanks,

IMac won't register for icloud sync.

My iMac won't register to allow the sync to icloud. I click MobileMe preferences, sync, and Advanced to register and all it does is spin. I run 10.6.8 on the iMac but Lion on my Air which syncs fine, as do my iphone and ipad running ios5.

Youcan migrate MobileMe on SL to iCLoud beta.. but you'll have to get to Lion eventually.

Flash wont "register" On XP sp3 using IE7 but works fine on Safari

Hi,
I lost flash a while ago on my desktop I do not even remeber how long ago. I just downloaded safari and used that for things that need flash like youtube and such.
I would really like to fix this so it will work with Internet Explorer again however. I have read several help letters posted and tried to uninstall and reinstall and reboot many times and look for the killbit all sorts of things but no luck. When I go to control panel and click on the flash icon it says flash is installed for the safari but not for IE the version for safari is 10.3.181.34 when I am doing the install for IE it runs to 53 percent and then fails and says "error failed to register". I have ran malwarebytes and avg and ccleaner and avast antivirus thinking it had to be some sort of malware, but no difference.
If someone would take me by the hand and tell me step by step what to do to diagnose and fix this I would be estatic. So thanks in advance for any and all help offered.
Jim III

I will give this a try, I saw this before but did not do it because the "note" says it is in the "uninstaller" so that info led me astray I will post back on my results. Thanks for the quick help.

HP Advisor, for m9040n HP Pavilion vista home premium not working after installing update.

I have a m9040n hp pavilion desktop with vista home premium. My hp advisor will not work. When I go to the menue to pull it up the icon has changed and is an icon of white pages. When I select the icon Hp Advisor it gives me a gray dialog box called the file type assistant. For searching for software to open the file. I've tried to install the sp 43112.exe update recommended for my hp pavilion m9040n with vista home premium but my hp advisor is still not working. Any ideas as to why my installing the update failed? Is there anything I should do beforeinstalling the update?

Rkmccoy25,
I understand you’re stating the HP advisor isn’t working correctly after an update.
Try doing a system restore back a day or two before the update occurred, if you haven’t attempt that already. Below are the instructions on how to do a restore if you’re unsure.

Flash Site not load on IE 8, but works on Firefox.

I created a website in Flash CS3 Pro, and gave it a html wrapper in Dreamweaver CS3. Neither of these programs found any errors or compatibility problems. The site loads in Firefox, but not in IE. Any I missing something basic? You all seem to have at least been able to see your uploaded pages.
There are xml pages, and Photos that the Flash page uses. These files were uploaded and Firefox works.
I have done everything I can think of. Would appreciate any help. The website is: www.lightspinnersweb.com .

Have Flash publish an html page and see if that page has the same problem. That is how I always acquire the code for embedding Flash content... I won't use Dreameweaver for that.

IFrame with code for video doesn't load in iWeb but works in Safari?

I've got a strange problem... I have encoded several videos using H.264 as .mov files and then import them into a flash file. Flash 10 plays these files just fine. However, when I put this on an iWeb page using an iFrame the video never loads. If I go ahead and publish the pages I can open the pages with Safari and see the videos just fine. Why won't iWeb loads these videos so I at least see a preview of the first frame? Instead, the Flash skin progress bar just keeps running and never stops. The path is valid obviously since the actual pages work when viewed with Safari.
Here is the code I'm using in the HTML snippet:
<IFRAME SRC = "http://xxxxxxx.xxxx.net/FLASH/PL2009/PL2009.html" WIDTH="320px" HEIGHT="280px" FRAMEBORDER="0" --if "0" no border, otherwise "1" with border MARGINWIDTH ="0px" MARGINHEIGHT="0px" SCROLLING="no" --"no" no scrolling bar, "yes" show always, "auto" showed when need > Your browser does not support IFRAME </IFRAME>

Wouldn't that lose the skin etc?
One interesting thing I just tried is that I renamed the H.264.mov file so it had a .flv extension. I then went to Flash CS4 and opened the Flash document and re-linked to the .flv file and then re-published it. I then FTP'd all of the published files to my host and then went to iWeb. I clicked on the existing container and then clicked "Apply". Low and behold the movie loaded just fine!
So, I'm left to assume that iWeb cannot load H.264.mov files via an iFRAME unless you change the extension. Like I said, everything actually worked on the web site it's just that iWeb didn't load the video and it was annoying to see the buffer bar in a continuos update mode.
So what are your thoughts on this? Thanks!

[MAC OS 10.5.x, Intel] Flash 10 doesnt work on safari, but works on firefox

My mac:
10.5.8
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Mem: 4GB 1067 MHx DDR3
Safari Version: 5.05
Firefox Version: 3.5.3
I was suddenly not being able to watch videos on youtube because of youtube's new update that requires one person like myself to update. So, I follow the instructions and uninstalled flash player then then installed the newest version of flash onto my macintosh. I booted up Safari, and went to youtube, still said i needed flash player 10. I uninstalled and reinstalled flash player at least 10 times. I even tried reinstalling safari, still nothing. I tried using it on firefox and it works!
Ways i have tried to fix this:
1. Check if plug-ins were enabled on Safari security prefrences, it was already checked.
2. Tried "un-checking" run with rosetta, couldn't even check it, was already unchecked
Please help,
Thanks, Surf

For more (not good) news on this video card & Mac model combination, see http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/9600mac_pcedition.html.
I suspect that any video card that shipped as an OEM product with any Mac model that meets the Leopard system requirements (& is supported by the Quicksilver) will work. This is because the Leopard DVD will have the necessary video driver extensions for those cards, but not necessarily ones that support other cards. Searching through my /System/Library/Extensions folder indicates that the following types of OEM ATI Radeon cards should be supported, but there are no guarantees:
ATI Radeon 8500
ATI Radeon 9700
ATI Radeon X1000
ATI Radeon X2000
There are also a number of driver names associated with various nVidia GeForce cards, the other supplier of OEM video cards for Apple.
The "Catch 22" about this is that if there was a Leopard compatible driver extension for the 9600 available (which there does not seem to be), you could install one of the above cards, do the upgrade to Leopard, & add it to /System/Library/Extensions folder of your startup drive afterwards. Then, the Mac could boot from that startup disk with just that card installed ... but the Leopard DVD disk still wouldn't work for repairs that require booting from it.

Installed IOS7 for IPad~now can't connect to home WiFi, but worked @Library.So IOS7 doesn't like Sky Yahoo

For days I have been unable to use my IPAD except to view what is already there. I downloaded IOS7 and all was ok for about a week but suddenly one morning I woke up to find that my gadget doesn't want to connect WiFi via my home provider. This happens to be Sky Yahoo. So, short of changing providers, I don't know what to do. Only purchased my IPAD 2 in June this year but am already wishing that I had chosen the Samsung Galaxy Note. (it was a close call).The tech guys in the shop have tried to help but as soon as I am out of range of the shop I am back to square one. Called in at my local library today and had no problem connecting to their WiFi.
Can i "uninstall" IOS7 or is there a way round this problem before I go crazy? This is being sent from my laptop, obviously. Any and all help gratefully accepted.....especially if it works.

You can't downgrade the iOS.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

My finger print scanner for logging on to web pages no longer works in firefox 4

My laptop has a finger print scanner that manages passwords. You scan your finger to log on to various pages or accounts instead of typing in the log in information. It worked flawlessly in the older version of Firefox, but since upgrading to Firefox 4 it no longer works. I checked and it still works with Windows.

Is the a Digital Persona fingerprint scanner, also used in teh HP SimplePass Identity Manager? If do the company that make the bioscanner have abandoned it. For more details see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/799388

Mozilla is lying when it says Java Script is unnecessary for the avcrage user.Java script is not working in Firefox 7.01

I want to roll back to an earlier version Firefox that works with Java Script how can I do this. Where I can download an earlier version? You know what the problems are. I am NOT going to list them. Own up to your errors. You made an incorrect conscious decision to break with Java compatibility.

Mozilla is not lying about average users, but it shows contempt for experienced users, or those that want to be able to get the more out of their browser, or use it for work or school.
Java and JavaScript are not the same thing. I trust you are referring to JavaScript problems and a lot of collateral damage associated with the mess.
# Prohibition on Webpages being able to resize or move windows with JavaScript
# Prohibition on Users being able to move or resize windows with JavaScript
# Ignoring the fact that there were already user controls in Tools > Options > Content > Javascript > Advanced
# Making JavaScript inoperable from Location bar as a command, or in a keyword shortcut that involves moving resizing windows
# Destroying use of AwesomeBar search, Bookmark searching for bookmarks containing JavaScript, making internal searches very unreliable
Firefox 8 comes out November the 8th and it nor later versions show any reversal of this mess.
Firefox 3.6.* should remain safe to use for some time, as corporate users will not put up with nonsense when they support thousands of users.
For those that really need an older version of Firefox [ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases releases] (all releases, including 4.0.1 and 5.0) or with the latest of [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Firefox 3]. Mac OSX 10.4 users can't upgrade to 4.0.1
When you reinstall a different version, at the end of the install, don't let the install start Firefox for you, rather exit, and then start Firefox in the normal manner to avoid inadvertently creating and using a new profile without your bookmarks, etc.
What would be better would be to use multiple versions / profiles at the same time, which is certainly beyond average users, particularly when Mozilla has historically and purposely made such things difficult. But if interested see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox Using multiple profiles - Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
