Flash9b.ocx Missing

Hi all,
I wondered if someone can help. My pc recently updated to
Flash player 10 but it seems to have left registry keys referring
to flash9b.ocx which is causing a problem with my HP Solution
Center which is disabling my ability to print, scan and copy etc.
It also seems to be slowing my pc down. I have found a temporary
solution. I have to keep reinstalling the HP software which fixes
the problem for about 2 to 3 days and then the problem comes back
stating that flash9b.ocx cannot be found. Flash9b.ocx certainly
does not exist. I've tried uninstalling flash player with the
uninstall tool from adobe but that makes no difference. I've tried
to delete the flash player 9 registry keys but they keep coming
back after rebooting my pc. I have Windows XP professional. I've
also tried to unregister the flash9b.ocx file from the registry
which says it was successful but still remains in the registry. Am
I doing something wrong and how can I stop this error. I've also
contacted HP about this problem but there advice seems to be to
reinstall the HP software which I am doing but the problem only
goes away temporarily.
Thanks,
Chris

Karen;
I am using XP and I have uninstalled and the flash player and
am still receiving the message that Flash9b.oxc is missing and my
computer keeps crashing. I have now removed all Adobe products from
the computer to see if this fixes the problem.
Even after uninstalling all Adobe products. I still have
FlashUtil9.exe that I cannot delete. Something is WRONG with this
picture.

  • Flash9b.ocx gets 0xC0000005 (AV) in IE7

    Hi all,
    Is there any solution to this widespread problem?
    I'm running IE7 on Windows Vista. IE crashes about once a day
    with a 0xC0000005 exception. So I took the option to debug the
    program, and found Flash9b.ocx at the top of the call satck (see
    below).
    There doesn't appear to be any support avenue via Adobe -
    Player support is limited to installation. The Flash Player
    installs fine (in fact, I'd rather *stop* it from getting
    installed!). This crash is obviously a runtime issue and an invalid
    memory reference.
    In some other forum posts, it was suggested the culprit may
    be bad sites/URLs, which run bad code. That may be; but I sure wish
    Flash Player was just a little bit more resilient, against unstable
    input code. After all, you're already watching out for buffer
    overruns, etc - right??
    I'm incredibley annoyed and frustrated by this problem. Based
    on forum posts, it appears to be quite widespread, too - not
    isolated to one or two unusual configurations. Has a solution been
    found yet? If not, what is Adobe doing to find a solution and what
    is the ETA?
    Personally I have no interest in using Flash, or paying for
    support - I only run the Flash Player, because some websites
    erronrously believe Flash is useful, and I need the Player to view
    the sites. If Flash had some kind of reporting tool so I could
    automatically send crash data back to Adobe, that would be a
    workaround.
    Thanks

    Hi Darren and Adobe guys,
    I just had the same crash while using flash9c.ocx version 9.0
    r45:
    "Unhandled exception at 0x30099baf in iexplore.exe:
    0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000."
    The new r45 version has not fixed the problem. I included the
    call stack at the bottom of this post. It very closely resembles
    the call stack I got from flash9b.ocx; so, it's probably the same
    crash.
    It seems like the crash tends to happen shortly after I have
    opened several new Tabs in Internet Explorer, in quick succession -
    say, I'll have 5 or 6 Tabs open at the same time. There's nothing
    special about the several URLs, except they all point towards web
    pages that include a small amount of Flash. This is just a
    subjective impression, but thats all I can tell about what sets it
    off.
    So I 'm guessing there may be some kind of race condition?
    Some global variable gets wiped inappropriately because it is
    accessed by multiple threads, or the like.
    This is a really frustrating issue, so if there's anything
    you'd like me to do to collect more data, let me know. Are there
    any Flash Play diagnostics I can turn on via the registry, or the
    like?

  • 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. :)

  • Crash in Flash9B.OCX

    I'm pretty consistently having the Flash Active X Control
    crash Internet Explorer 7 on my machine. The callstack is below.
    I'm using IE 7.0.5730.11.
    Is there an address to which I can send a minidump? I rattled
    through the "contact support" options at the adobe.com website, but
    couldn't find a way to simply submit a bug. I ended up opening a
    web ticket about a "security issue" because nothing else matched.

  • Flash9b.ocx Crash

    I am getting a crash in Flash9b.ocx 9.00.28.0 (everytime the
    control loads) with Internet Explorer 6 and Windows XP Profession
    SP2 (and I think I had the same issue with Flash Player 8 too). It
    appears to be an "invalid opcode" exception on an "emms"
    instruction (at 0x300511F5 when the module is loaded at 0x30000000;
    I could tell you more with symbols and/or source). The machine is a
    Pentium Pro 200 MHz system with 256 MB of RAM. I know this system
    does not support MMX. I am also aware this is the below the cited
    system requirements of a Pentium II 450 MHz or better. Does Flash
    Player 9 even have an MMX incapable code path? Even if it does not,
    it should be noted I received no errors on install or at run-time
    (unless you count the crash itself). I think it should probe for
    MMX support and give a message at least instead of just crash
    (Note: a Pentium Pro is a Family 6 processor without MMX support so
    you should probe for MMX and not just processor class).
    Besides the obvious bug, if Flash Player does not support my
    platform at all (even unofficially) what are my options? I noticed
    Flash Player 7 did not have any processor requirements (though I
    imagine it requires at least a 386 for Win32 support). Of course I
    also noticed Flash Player 7 is no longer supported at all too(only
    9 and 8 seem to be currently supported).
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello,
    In another thread titled "Flash Player 9 crashes Internet
    Explorer 6"
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=44&catid=184&threadid =1236801&enterthread=y
    I described the exact same symptoms as yours.
    I too arrived at the same conclusion as you.
    I believe that since my Pentium II (200 mhz.) does not
    support MMX technology, then that explains why Flash Player 8 and
    newer always crash the first time I visit a webpage supporting
    Flash content.
    I am wondering if the reason Flash 8 and 9 get installed
    without alerting the user that their CPU does not support MMX is
    because there is no flag in the Windows configuration file to
    indicate that this is the case.
    If such a flag exists and is incorrectly set, then perhaps by
    changing it, then Flash Player would load with an alternate set of
    software routines to mimic the missing hardware instructions.
    I am trying to find out more about how the installation of
    Windows goes about detecting and advertising the presence or
    absence of MMX.

  • "Flash9b.ocx failed to register" error message and problems caused

    I didn't want to update my flash player but finally was "bullied' into doing so, because i kept receiving a screen message telling me to update it, without being given the option to say "No. Thank you anyway."  After I updated my flash player to 11....something (I didn't memorize all the numbers), even though the installation completed, I now have this ERROR MESSAGE whenever I try to access the internet on my computer:
    Solution Center
    Module
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx failed to register.
    I don't think I really needed my Flash player updated at all in the first place.  I don't use computer games and don't have an "x-box", I don't have a camera on, or with my computer.  I just didn't want to keep seeing that irritating demand to "Update".
    Is there a way for me to remove the update and re-install the flash player I already had?
    In the past, when I used my HP Officejet installation software from the original cd, to reinstall my printer-Solution Center software, it solved the problem I had when updating other Adobe software.  Unfortunately, the software from this cd, did not solve the problem this time.

    Download the uninstaller for Flash Player
    The Flash Player uninstaller executes on both 64-bit and 32-bit version of the Windows operating systems.
    uninstaller (797 KB)
    You can download older versions here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
    Note: It's not only the Flash player updater that will prompt you to update - Many pages that have Flash content will REQUIRE the latest version and WON'T WORK with anything older.

  • HP Solution Center error "flash9b.ocx failed to register"

    I have a similar Flash9b.ocx faied to register problem that I have been trying to solve for several weeks.It started after I upgraded to the latest Flash Player 10.3.183.7 via the official Adobe website. After this upgrade on start up I got the following HP Solution Centre (printer software) error message:
    C:\Windows:\system32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx failed to register. HRESULT-2147220473. Contact your support personnel.
    Further investigation confirmed that Flash Player had stopped working and where the image should be there was a blank black box. I tried reinstalling the latest version of Flash Player again but it made no difference. I was prompted to insert the original Solution Centre disk to solve the problem and although I tried this, it had no effect. I uninstalled Solution Centre including manually deleting any HP files that had been left behind and did a complete reinstall of the latest version including relevant patches from the HP website. This appears to have solved the problem as far as the Solution Centre error messages are concerned. However, on further investigation I found the Flash9b.ocx file mentioned above no longer exists but Flash Player still isn’t working.
    I am running Vista (32bit) with all the current upgrades and Internet Explorer version 9.0.8112.16421 update version 9.0.2 (KB2559049)
    Thanks for your help

    After more than two weeks of trying, I finally found a solution to my HP Solution Centre Flash Player 10 conflict. Below is what worked for me and if you have a similar problem I hope this posting is of some use. uninstall Solution Centre & reinstall the latest version plus all the relevant patches from the HP website. Reset browser settings which in my case was IE 9 (Internet Options, Advanced tab, Reset) followed by a restart. Then uninstall Flash Player (Control Panel, Programs & Features, Uninstall) followed by another restart. Finally go to Adobe website and download the latest version of Flash Player.
    Hope this helps

    Hi guys,
    My pc recently automatically updated flash player to flash 10 so it seems to have removed all the old files including flash9b.ocx but seems to have left the registry keys present.  Solution Centre constantly asks for the installation CD when the pc boots and randomly whilst working on the pc.  I've tried deleting the registry keys but they seem to come back even after I have deleted them.  Because Solution Centre fails to load I am unable to print to my J6410 networked printer.  I cannot scan, copy, fax or print anything and my machine is terribly slow following the CD installer pop up message.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this problem ?  I can't find any article on the HP forums about the problem.  I've tried to uninstall the HP software and printer and reinstall it.  That seems to fix it for about 2 or 3 days and then the problems appear again and I have to keep doing the reinstall to fix it.  I don't want to keep doing that.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    HP does not seemed be concerned with the growing number of problems with Adobe Flash.  In today's SANS NewsBites May 01, 2009                    Volume: XI, Issue: 34, in the section VULNERABILITIES Adobe Acknowledges Reader and Acrobat Flaws (April 28 & 29, 2009)
    (www.sans.org/newsletters/newsbites/newsbites.php?vol=11&issue=34#sID307)the comment by one of the editors (Pescatore) about Adobe Flash is significant and cause for concern.  That HP does not update their driver suite to remove flash (and allow the user to install the current versions without problems) and not have to reinstall the Solution Center shows how little they value security and customer satisfaction.
    Bad HP, bad.

  • Packaging FLASH9B.OCX

    I have written a program using flash9b.ocx. Can someone help
    in showing me what is the proper way to include this in my
    installation program?
    The computers that I might install this on might not have
    access to the internet, so going to the ADOBE website during the
    install is not possible.
    Thank you!

    I suppose you'll need to look at this:

    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. ~

  • Flash9b.ocx crash once again

    Hi, all
    I'd really like to see an official message from Adobe
    concerning the issue with Flash9b.ocx crashing in IE. Surely they
    must have received a lot of messages from disgruntled users.
    I work for an online newspaper and we have several hundred
    thousand page impressions every day. And for lots of users our
    front page causes the Flash player to crash. It's practically
    impossible to isolate which banner ad(s) that will lead to a crash.
    My theory is that there are certain ActionScript commands
    that are handled in a different manner in the new player, while
    swfs that contain only animation will work.

    SOLUTION:
    Copy: "...windows/system32/macromed/flash/flash9b.ocx"
    Paste: it as a copy of flash9b.ocx then...
    RENAME: the COPIED FILE to "flash.ocx"
    IMPORTANT: do not delete the original flash9b.ocx just make a
    copy of named "flash.ocx"
    This "fix" has worked a lot of people that have programs or
    screen savers that look for the original flash.ocx file which it
    can't fine causing in some cases for I.E. to close and the
    resultant error message.
    When the origin and the mechanism of the crash
    known this is a very simple idea. I'll try it and hope it shall fix
    the problem.
    But I don't understand this: This error occurs allready since
    end of January or begin of february 2006 on my computer, visiting a
    lot of sites. I spent allready very much of time trying to solve
    followed problems. I wrote allready an email to Adobe support and
    got not any perheaps only formal politeness answer, not to mention
    any suggestion of trying to fix it. I don't know what does this
    strategy of Adobe mean :/

    Very interested - did this work for you?
    Yesterday - I had a

    "requested" the Shockwave player to be installed, yet my homepage
    (Comcast.net) wldn't display if I didn't have it installed!
    I checked now to see what I had installed-Flashplayer
    is installed - Adobe - v.9.0.28.
    When I was trying to get back to this site, I came across
    Shockwave Player-Windows Version 10.1.4.020 - posted 9/28/2006
    ShockwavePlayer-Windows
    Version.
    But....this site
    Adobe
    Shockwave Player 9.0.28 - posted 11/14/2006.
    I think I'm confused!!!!!!!!!????????????????
    I'm going to
    uninstall v9.0.28 - all of it, including making sure my
    registry is clean from all entries too. I will then install
    v10.1.4.020.
    I will keep you posted.

  • WAD: Crashes with Run Time Error '339': Component 'formx.ocx' (missing)

    when using SAPGui 7.10 --> BW3.5x Web Application Designer the
    application fails to start and we get the following error message.
    Run Time Error '339': Component 'formx.ocx' or one of it's dependencies
    is not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.
    This works correctly on some machines but on others we get this error
    message. We have applied the latest patch.
    I suspect some non-sap software component has damaged my installation. How can I debug this? Re-installing SAPGUI doesn't do any good.
    Any ideas gratefully received.

  • Another "Flash.ocx missing" VISTA 64-Bit syswow64

    The exact error message is: This program requires flash.ocx, which is no longer included in this version of windows.
    I know this has been answered numerous times, but, and I stress, BUT, not for users running 64 Bit.  The copy, paste and rename to flash.ocx does not work the same as 32 Bit, for reasons I and apparently know one else can gather.  I have paged over page of Google with excitement from 32 Bit users that were able to copy, paste, rename flash, and they were good to go. Yet everything I read about 64 Bit, either goes unanswered, or just when I think were getting somewhere the post abruptly ends.
    I only have one program that reports this message, and it is only when I close out of it, that it then reports it.  Thankfully, I still seem to have 100% functionality from the app, but that still is not good enough for me, since I like to fix things!
    The app is MetaBrowser Beta 09.02.09, the free version that they offer no more support for, which hence is why Flash has not been updated, and will not be updated to look for new Flash names (Ex: Flash10m.ocx). I use this app almost daily, and this error did not reveal itself until I updated to the latest version of Flash a few days ago.  I should also note I have been updating Flash regularly as I do all my apps that ask.  So this wasn't like I updated Flash from version 5, 6, 7 or even 8, 9.
    Should I be able to just copy, rename my current Flash10m.ocx to flash.ocx in my syswow64\Macromed\Flash folder and it work like all the 32 bit users claim it does?  Should note also, I tried registering flash.ocx (regsvr32 flash.ocx) after the rename, and that did not help.
    I have uninstalled using the Adobe uninstall flash player, cleaned registry, rebooted, and reinstalled. 
    Flash Player reports I'm running the latest version, and Flash Player works great.
    I know my version of MetaBrowser is at fault here, but with no more support, what can I do to make it or help it find the flash.ocx that it is looking for?
    I thought of using an older version, but from Adobes archives, its says the earlier versions are meant for developers only, I assume that’s why the file sizes are on the larger size, plus the issue of security vulnerabilities using out-dated versions concerns me.
    Thanks
    Mike

    Hi, As you say this Flash.ocx is for an older version of Flash Player. Many changes have been made since then. I know of no way to copy & paste anything into the Flash files. The Windows Registry is involved in Uninstalling and Installing any Version of Flash Player.
    I think your choice is to either Uninstall your current FP and Install the older version needed for this application/program if that is required to use it.
    Keep in mind that if you do that, you not only lose all Security features that you've noted, but other websites may not work either. Most all websites update each time Flash Player is updated.
    Someone else may have more info to add to this, but that's all I know about your situation.
    Other than that, I'd look for another application/program that you can use that would accomplish what Metabrowser does.

    So you are invoking Flash Player in your own apps - where did you find the instructions how to do so?  You are obviously not using the correct instructions, as your apps are looking for an old version of Flash Player (Flash.ocx).
