Flash9.ocx weirdness

Surprise, surprise, Flash 9 doesn't install properly. Well,
it does on Firefox, but not on IE or for the Sony package used to
capture images off Sony cameras.I uninstalled IE7 and went back to
IE6. I've tried setting all the Internet opitons to allow ActiveX
content. I've checked the antivirus and popup blokcer settings.
I've tried all the recommended fixes, short of major surgery on the
registry. I've deleted the Safe Versions folder. I've uninstalled
and reinstalled, with and without rebooting more times than I care
to think. I even got a friend of mine who knows much, much more
about this than I look at it, and it baffled him. But here's the
weird part. When I use the standard installer found at
www.adobe.com/go/full_flashplayer_win_ie, I get an error message
that \\\\\Flash9a.ocx fails to load. When I use the complete
installer, such as found at
222.softwarepatch.com/internet/flash.html, it tells me that
Flash9b.ocx fails to register. If I look at the folder under
Windows\system32, etc., I see two Flash9b files, an .ocx and a
.exe.. I don't understand what is going on, and I really would like
to be able to use my camera software. Anyone else encountered this?
Any suggestions?

Dear Friends, I have the same Flash Player / IE problems for
several weeks now.
Followed many, many hints and waisted so much time without
any result.
Why is it so difficult to fix such a severe bug in the
software?
Please search for "flashplayer crash internet explorer" and
look how many people are really p*ss*d of by this.
Ok, maybe it is IE or Adobe software; fact is: NOTHING
HAPPENS and browsers KEEP CRASHING.
This is unacceptable and very unprofessional.
Joey (really, really mad after the xxx-the IE crash).

Can't delete Flash9.ocx

While trying to solve some Flash/IE installation problems, I
have discovered that I can't delete the following file:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9.ocx
I've tried safe mode, "move on boot", BartPE, and nothing
will get rid of this file. The read only attribute is set and
cannot be changed....does anybody have any ideas as to what might
be causing this?
Thanks,
Rob

Until I installed Flash 9 I've had no browser issues that I
could attribute to the earlier version (8) of the flash player I
used. However since initial install in mid-August, that's no longer
the case.
The first indication was a persistent message window re:
"flash9.ocx' file" while online gaming at the Pogo (EA) game site.
The url is www.pogo.com; but I have a member signon so I'm not sure
the error scenario can be reproduced explicitly. It did not crash
IE and I could just click "OK" and the game would continue.
Sometimes message would show up after I logged off. I was able to
browse other websites without encountering any flash errors and/or
browser crashes. Approximate error message: "Internet Explorer has
encountered a problem. File : Flash9.ocx"
I created a win/checkpoint prior to installing the Flash 9
player, so I went back and restored. No relief just stranger stuff
-- the win/restore obviously does not back off the player.
I no longer get the weird messages on Pogo but other sites
that exhibit the following scenario:
Flash content won't display;
Website displays Macromedia button & instructions to
update to latest version;
Clickable link to Macromedia (
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash).
(Specific url prompting download:
http://www.zillow.com/search/Search.htm?citystatezip=85025&mode=browse)
I did bite the bullet and re-install the player (after
another checkpoint) but the above error at Zillow persists;
regardless of win/restore. I still see the same information on the
player version, file locations, file names, and file versions.
The Adobe browser test for the Flash player version I'm using
shows: 9.0.16.0.
The flash.ocx files (v 6.0.79.0) are in both folder locations
(Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 and
Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash).
The flash9.ocx file (9.0.16.0) is in the right location too.
My OS is winxp/home(sp2); browser is IE 6.0; maintenance is
current-to-date.
I'll proceed with your advice regarding the uninstall but I
hope a Macromedia-supplied solution arrives soon -- even after
clearing cache, temp, etc. there appears to be some sort of version
conflict going and it effects browser performance.

Flash9e.ocx reported as a threat... Need help

Hi,
I just installed Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 on my
VISTA Ultimate 32 bits SP1 laptop. After running an analysis it
reported among a total of 3 files the following one as an important
threat:
c:\windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9e.ocx
What can I do with this?
- Do I simply need to upgrade? If so how?
- Do I put it to quarantine?
- Do I uninstall it? If so how?
- Other recommandation?
Thanks in advance.

I would recommend creating a folder in your "My Documents" folder and naming it "Java Programs". This will keep your programs organized and make it easier to find them.
When using the Command line, any commands you enter will not mean anything to the computer unless it knows where to find their corresponding executables. Thus, you must set both the "path" variable and the "CLASSPATH" variable (assuming you know how to get to the "Environment Variables" dialog). The former tells the computer where to find "java.exe" and "javac.exe" along with other essential programs. The latter tells "java.exe" and "javac.exe" where to find your program to compile or run it.
Do the "path" variable first. When you set this, don't just erase everything in the value field because then commands like "ping" and "ipconfig" won't fuction properly. Rather, place the new value at the end of the current value with a semi-colon between them. It should look something like this:
(original values);C:\Program Files\java\JDK\bin\The bin directory should be where your "javac" and "java" executables were installed.
Now for CLASSPATH. You will notice that there is no "CLASSPATH" variable so you will have to create it. After you have created it, give it the path to your "Java Programs" folder as it's value. Then when you begin doing larger projects requiring more than one file, just make a new folder in "Java Programs" and append the path of the new folder to the end of "CLASSPATH" just like you did for "path".
Hopefully this helps clear some things up.

Flash9.ocx add-on errors

I've been getting alot of these add-on errors lately and it
crashes IE. I've tried reinstalling flash but it hasn't helped. Is
there anything I can do other than disabling the add-on? I would
really appreciate any advice.

If you got an error message that says there has been a
problem in the Flash9.ocx, here is how to fix things...
The possible solutions are:
1) update your video drivers. For instance, with a video card
with NVIDIA graphical processor, you can use this address:
http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
Then see if you get the error again
2) If the problem is still there, you'll have to come back to
an earlier version of the flash player. Here is how it is supposed
to be done when everything goes well:
uninstall Flash Player 9 using:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/8/uninstall_flash_player.exe
then re-install Flash Player 8 or 7 using:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp8_archive.zip
3) if the uninstallation fails, here is the manual way to do
achieve a similar result but that should always work:
Go in the following folder:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
Change the name of Flash9.ocx file into _Flash9.ocx (be sure
IE is closed first)
Dowload this zipped file:
http://www.robostrike.com/pub/utils/Flash9.zip
unzip the file and place it in the above folder,
name it Flash9.ocx (the file is in fact a copy of Flash8a.ocx
and this way, it will be used instead of the bugged version 9)
Restart Internet Explorer => congratulation you are now
back in version 8 and everything should run perfectly fine!
As for my computer: problem solved!

Flash9e.ocx

Hi guys
Does anyone know anything about a Flash9e.ocx error message
that keeps crashing my browser in IE7 and Firefox? I've seen some
posts here before about this topic but I can't seem to find them
now.
Some people were suggesting that it was a bug in Flash Player
and that reinstalling Flash might help. I uninstalled my current
version, rebooted and reinstalled, and get the same problem. I get
the message: Internet Explorer has encountered an error and needs
to close and lists Flash9e.ocx as the add-on running when the
problem occurred.
Anyone got any workarounds? Has Adobe recognised this problem
as a bug? There's an awful lot of people having the same problem at
a games site: Miniclip.com. The game is called Anagrammatic. If I
log in to play the game and then navigate to the Games Forum page
my browser crashes instantly every time. Anyone know what's going
on?
Any assistance would be very much appreciated. Willing to try
editing the registry etc etc. Anything that might work. PS I rolled
back to Flash 8 and tried to play the game and an ActiveX control
immediately upgrades me back up to Version 9. So no joy there
either!
Is this the buggiest site on the planet or is Flash 9 the
problem?
Any help appreciated.

Flash9*.ocx (vs) FlDbg9*.ocx - Security upgrades

Should we be worried after going to the trouble to keep our
corporate fleet updated with the latest Flash9*.ocx that the
equivalent (or typically much lower) version of FlDbg9*.ocx is
still alive and kicking?
ie: If Flash Player is vulnerable, is the equivalent version
of Debugger Player also necessarily vulnerable?
Dreamweaver's Content Debugger Player 9.0.45.0 is still
peppered across our fleet that has just been updated to Flash
Player 9.0.115.0 (due to Adobe security bulletin APSB07-20)

To delete the Flash9.ocx file, try the following
using Windows Explorer, move the file to the Desktop
rename the file on the Desktop, e.g. to Flash9.o
now try delete the file from the Desktop
You may need to reboot Windows before you can delete the file from the Desktop.

Reference documentation for Flash9e.ocx

Please forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere.
When one installs the latest version of the Flash Player, the
following file is installed and registered:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9f.ocx. This is a full
fledged Windows ActiveX component (version 9.0.124.0) which Adobe
has announced as such with the release of Flash 9. It is documented
as an ActiveX control that can be used in Windows developement
environments like VB, C#, C++, .NET etc. However, there is not one
singe line of referencene documentation available explaining the
methods, properties and events associated with this control.
Does such reference documentation exist? If so, could someone
please indicate how/where I can find it?
Thanks,
John

Wow! Is this a difficult one?

Cannot Delete Flash9.ocx

I am attempting to remove an old windows installation from an
old hard drive. It is no longer in use; I have a brand new
installation on a different hard drive. I have deleted all the
files except those found in system32/macromed. How do I delete
these files?

Ah, figured it out. One must change the owner of the file to
the current one (or an appropriate group, such as "administrators")
under the "Security" tab, under the file's properties (accessed
when one right-clicks the file). One must also have appropriate
permissions (such as "full") to alter/delete the file.
I had forgotten how to enable the security tab, as its option
is cryptically named. It would be wonderful if the people who wrote
XP weren't obscurantists. Of course, it would also be pretty nice
if Adobe didn't think it was okay to set exclusive read/write
permissions on my own G-D computer. But c'est la vie.
If you'd like to know more about the security tab on Windows
XP Pro, or ways around this for XP Home, try this link:

Ocx add-on error in Flash 9

Occasionally IE 6 will crash with an error message about a
problem with the Flash9.ocx add-on.
I used to get this with Flash8b.ocx a lot and I was hoping
Flash 9 would fix it, but a few minutes after upgrading and going
to a site containing flash movies it crashed again.
There are lots of other posts about this but I have never
seen one properly resolved.
For the time being I will keep using Flash 7, which doesn't
seem to have the problem.
If anybody has figured this one out then please let me know.
thanks,
Nick

Have you tried simply removing the Authorware web player then
reinstalling it?
I've not seen this problem before and dunno what might be
causing it -
maybe a conflict with another IE plugin?

Flash9B.ocx error problem

I run Norton System Doctor regularly as well as
RegistryBooster2.
Just recently (this week) WinDoctor gives me the unfixable
message:
"CLSID\{1171A62F-05D2-11D1-83FC-00A0C9089C5A}\InprocServer32,"
refers to a missing file,
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx.".
RegistryBooster2 says it's fixed all errors, but it hasn't
fixed this problem.
I have deleted Flash, run WinDoctor and RegistryBooster2,
then reinstalled Flash, but nothing seems to work. Obviously the
file Flash9b.ocx is not there and my Flash floder contains another
edition of that file (Flash9e.ocx), but my registry will not adapt.
I continue to get this error message. How do I fix this
problem? I have never delved into the Registry so please relate any
suggested fix in simple, step-by-step instructions.

Hi guys,
I would maintain that this is NOT a proper solution. I
thought of this right off and sure it works but it does NOT change
the fact that there is still an improper and no longer used
registry entry referring to a file which NO LONGER EXISTS. Making a
copy of the file may HIDE the problem but it does NOT fix it.
I am a software developer myself and it is inexcusable that
Adobe is not fixing this problem. They have an absolute
responsibility to clean up their own registry entries folks!
I have seen registry problems creep up over time because it
is so common for software vendors to leave obsolete STUBS in OUR
system registry when you uninstall or upgrade an application! Over
time the registry can get so many of these OBSOLETE entries that
your system can start to run slower over time and possibly cause
other problems.
This is exactly why I use Norton Systemworks Premier to
monitor my registry as I'm sure many others do as well. The problem
here is that Adobe's BUG is so nasty that even Norton Systemworks
cannot remove the offending registry entry! I also CANNOT remove it
manually even though of course I have full Admin rights.
ADOBE MUST FIX THIS PROBLEM. I have reported this BUG to them
but am still waiting for a response - maybe they want to ignore it
but I for one will NOT let this go.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Being a software developer myself and understanding how this
works I still maintain there is no excuse for this kind of problem
to exist.
I for one maintain that MICROSOFT should make this a
condition of getting official Windows CERTIFICATION - e.g., they
should test UPGRADE, UNINSTALL, etc and REFUSE to grant
certification until the software vendor cleans up all their
registry entries appropriately.
Trust me, if MS did this we would not have problems like this
because who does not want to have MS certification for their
software products??
Folks, sorry if I sound negative but it's just not right for
us to have to deal with this kind of issue.
My suggestion: If EVERYONE would send in a bug report on this
issue, the "noise" would get so loud that Adobe would have no
choice but to fix this issue once and for all.
Ok, I'll get off my soap-box now. :)

Flash9b.ocx cuasing explorer too crash.

I am getting error's that keep closing down my explorer they
have too do with flash9.ocx and flash9b.ocx. can someone please
help me with these. I just got kicked off of www.gearsofwar.com.
it has also been happening alot on pogo.com all differant
games there and also on myspace.com.
any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brett

Hello, I also recently nailed down my random IE and Firefox
crashing problems to the Flash9b.ocx "Add-on" but have no solution.
It has been quite frustrating and all I have been able to do is
disable it from the Tools|Manage Add-ons menu in IE. Any other
solution would be appreciated. Thanx. ~

The Flash9c.ocx bug!!

I ran into this Flash problem a week ago, and after checking
every forum on the web and trying every recomendation and reading
all information on this, it appears there may be a major Bug with
FLASH! By posting this I am making a last attempt at letting Adobe
representatives make a statement about what I call the "Flash9c.ocx
bug".
There is no problem with my computer (everything works fine
under Win XP SP2 / no virus / no adware / no spyware / no malware).
Here's the problem:
When I try to access certain flash pages (such as
WWW.MEETIC.COM as a member) Explorer 7 will simply crash and
provide a standard error message about the Flash9c.ocx
complementary module.
No matter how many times I install, uninstall Flash, the
problem just keeps comming back on certain pages. The pages
themselves are fine since I can access them from other computers.
The only certain thing is that Flash is the problem. After reading
about this bug all over the web it appears this bug has been around
for quite a while and there are many theories but no answers on it.
It affects many people on many sites and many of them are unable to
resolve it.
What is the official Abobe response on this issue?
Thank you.

Hi guys
I'm sure there was a more recent discussion about this whole
topic which I now can't seem to find. Has it been deleted? One of
the Adobe guys was asking people to send specific URLs to him which
Adobe were going to check out. It now seems to have vanished, or I
am just not looking in the right place? I think it was the link in
the post above but that appears to have been deleted? Why?
It was a whole string of complaints (many in the past couple
of months) about browsers crashing as a result of using the latest
Flash Player.
The bug has been around for so long that the error message is
now Flash9e.ocx
Has Adobe done anything about everyone's browsers crashing?
Are there any fixes or workarounds? The site I'm using forces you
to download an ActiveX control that immediately updates the Flash
player to the latest version so you can't even roll back to a
legacy version to see if the problem is in the latest release. Does
anyone know anything about this? And any ideas where the whole
thread about it disappeared to?
Found it myself:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=44&catid=184&threadid =1321876&enterthread=y
PS I deleted my version of Flash, downloaded an older version
(9,0,47,0) and opened the site in Firefox. The problem's gone!!!!!
I'd say over to Adobe and Microsoft!
