Flashplayer installation error for Internet Explorer

Hi, I have tried to fix this myself but nothing I have tried has fixed the problem.
I have Windows Vista 64bit Home Premium and I'm not sure what version my flash player is for I Explorer.
Anyway, every time I try to install flash player for IE, it comes up with this error: The ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered. And then prompts me to follow this link: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html.
I have tried all of the fixes given to me at that link, but none seem to work. I noticed that on the very last fix dealing with registry keys, some of the keys that were mentioned in the link did not exist. Someone please help me with this, a step-by-step guide would be great!

The first one had to do with post #7, when i put this into the comand prompt:cd %windir%\system32\macromed\flash
It came up with an error stating the system cannot find the path specified.
Since you are on a 64-bit OS, Flash Player is installed in a different location %WINDIR%\syswow64\Macromed\Flash

Unable to download or install flash player for internet explorer

I recently reinstalled the entire operating system (windows 7) on my pc and since doing so ive been re-installing a lot of software, flash player works perfectly on chrome but is not installed for internet explorer 10, whenever the add-on is detected as missing, and im prompted to download it via https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, the page simply doesn't load (see screenshot), ive attempted downloading it via chrome and then enabling it, but it still doesn't show up, i've simply run out of options

1. Internet Explorer 11 is the latest release. You might want to check for Windows updates to get IE11.
2. Concerning Adobe Flash Player for IE. Click on the following Adobe link. Go down to the bottom where it says "Still having problems?" and click on the link for Internet Explorer.

OLE broken after Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer KB3003057

Our product has been using the IWebBrowser OLE interface for many years but has failed since Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer KB3003057. What do we need to do to get this IWebBrowser interface working again.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa752127(v=vs.85).aspx
When we try to use the Navigate function it causes general access violations such.
Our code has not changed for several years so must something must have been chainged in the OLE/ActiveX library with this security update patch.
We are getting Access Violations when calling the IWebBrowswer :: Navigate function since this KB3003057 security
patch. If I uninstall the patch everything works normally again. When I re-install the KB3003057
patch the problem returns.
All our customers (many different computers in different offices) are getting this problem once they pick up the update. It is not specific to a particular computer and we are seeing it on Windows 7 and also Windows 8.
Thanks in advance for any advise you can offer.

How can I know if the version of Flash Player installed is the right version for Internet Explorer?

Hello,
I have Windows 7 Starter with Internet Explorer 8 and Adobe Flash Player 10,1,85,3.
I am experiencing problems with one particular web site which uses Flash technology to operate its web site., which is:
gadget-detective.moonfruit.com.
It has been suggested to me that I check I have installed the correct Flash Player for the web browser
I am using which is Internet Explorer 8, that in particular I should check I have not installed in error a Flash Player
for "other browsers". I do not know how to check if the version of Flash Player I have installed is the correct one for
Internet Explorer, but, when I go to the Adobe web site at:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
it states that Flash Player is successfully installed.
Here are the problems I have been encountering with accessing the above-mentioned "gadget-detective" web site,
where I have had to use different URLs to attempt to get access to the technical advice areas on their web site:
1)A Welcome page with a link to the Free Technical Advice page located someway down the centre of the Welcome page,
but still with none of the previous links along the left side:
http://www.gadget-detective.moonfruit.com/#/free-tech-advice/4515074362
2)A Welcome page with no links at the left side and in particular no link at all to the Free Technical Advice page:
http://www.gadgetdetective.com/
3)A completely black page:
http://gadget-detective.moonfruit.com/#/free-tech-advice/4537230823
How can I be certain that I have the correct version of Flash Player for my web browser Internet Explorer 8?
Regards.

Hello ʇɐb ɹəuəllıʍ ,
Thanks for your reply. I would appreciate it if you could let me know what the Flash Player setting
called "Hardware Acceleration" does, before I try disabling it.
Regards.

Spry Validation Error in Internet Explorer

                } else {
                    return 1;
The error occurs again and the validation is not yet done. Which means, that the fields with problems will not be marked. When entering the field afterward and changing or blur everything works ok and the field is marked in red. Only the onload is not working.
Any ideas, what the problem is?
Thank
Michael

It seems to be an Error in Spry,
Open the SpryValidationTextField.js
find:
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField.prototype.reset = function() {
     this.removeHint();
     this.oldValue = this.input.defaultValue;
     this.resetClasses();
     if (Spry.is.ie) {
          //this will fire the onpropertychange event right after the className changed on the container element
          //IE6 will not fire the first onpropertychange on an input type text after a onreset handler if inside that handler the className of one of the elements inside the form has been changed
          //to reproduce: change the className of one of the elements inside the form from within the onreset handler; then the onpropertychange does not fire the first time
          this.input.forceFireFirstOnPropertyChange = true;
          this.input.removeAttribute("forceFireFirstOnPropertyChange");
     var self = this;
     setTimeout(function() {self.putHint();}, 10);
and replace with:
Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField.prototype.reset = function() {
     this.removeHint();
     this.oldValue = this.input && this.input.defaultValue ? this.input.defaultValue : "";
     this.resetClasses();

Web.SHOW_DOCUMENT('URL', '_blank') doesn't work for Internet Explorer 7

Hello,
In my company, we are using Oracle Forms 10.1.2.0.2.
After inserting a URL, users are logged in. There is one page in the application that uses a button to open a PDF in a new page.
Code behind this button:
web.SHOW_DOCUMENT('URL', '_blank');
For internet explorer 6, there is no problem, but last week, some users have upgraded their browser to Internet Explorer 7. When they now push the PDF button, nothing happens. No error is given.
Could someone please help me..

Actually, I think a couple of my colleagues have seen this with IE7 recently... It seemed to be related to individual PCs rather than anything in our software, and was sort-of sporadic. I think on one of the PCs, there'd been an update to the Google toolbar and that had caused problems (and of course, if you have Google toolbar, that has its own popup blocker that you need to disable for the site in question.)
Sorry to be vague, but I would look for any other browser plug-ins on the machine that might be causing issues.

Error in Internet Explorer when loading from cache

Hello all,
I have this error in internet explorer when it's loading the swf from cache
"ArgumentError: Error #2015: Invalid BitmapData.
at flash.display::BitmapData()"
If you have a solution for me I will appreciate.
Thanks

I've just run into this error as well. It only occurs when you have loaded your SWF into cache and you refresh the page. This error does not occur if the user opens a new tab and visits the site (even if the cache has that SWF). Right now, I am stumped on how to resolve this issue without the help of Adobe. There is a critical site launch that depends on BitmapData to work properly.
Adobe, I will also be posting this in your bug system.

Error in Internet Explorer with Muse

I have an error in Internet Explorer and cannot seem to find the resolve in your Q&A databases. It is: museJSAssert: Error calling selector function:Error: Invalid argument; I have gone thru this website for answers (looked at the code thru a code editor and any broken links as per mentioned in posted discussions)... This site is live right now, it works in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE!
I have periods instead of dashes in the phone numbers... could this be it? OR some of the page links are not active yet... I am guessing at this point as I am relatively new to web/muse design. Any help would be fantastic! Thank you very much! Oh, the website address is www.rubarb.ca (yes, that is spelled correctly)... THANKS AGAIN!

Acrobat PDF reader for Internet Explorer may be unloading/unabling custom plugin

Hi,
My question is basically to understand what is happening in this situation so that I can find where is the problem and how to solve it.
We have used Acrobat 6.0 SDK to develop our custom plugin. This plugin is basically wrapper to few basic tools (note, stamp, text ) etc.. provided by Acrobat 6.0 SDK. We have also developed PDFViewer.dll to view PDF document within Internet Explorer. So when user load document within our website this PDFViewer loaded with the custom plugin and user can use those tools.
We are installing this plugin under <Acrobat X>/Plug_ins/<Company Name>/MyPlugin.API.
In our web site we are giving list of documents and when user click on a document it will load the PDFViewer and custom plugin. We are loading Acrobat.exe in advance so that we can load quickly. Now the problem happens when user open any other PDF in different tab or instance of Internet explorer. ?How?
Consider in a internet explorer user logged in our web site and then he/she can see let's say 10 documents. 1.pdf, 2.pdf, 3.pdf, etc...
Now when user select document 1.pdf we are loading that PDF in the IE within our PDFViewer with custom plugin. (Here I have seen that behind the scene Acrobat.exe is loaded in the processed using task manager)/ If at this time if user opens another instance of Internet explorer or another tab and open a PDF document it opens PDF in the standard Adobe Reader PDF viewer for Internet Explorer resides at (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX).
If at this time user goes back to our site and tried to work on 1.pdf our custom plugin works fine BUT if user opens any other document (let's say 2.pdf) the plug in stops working basically looks like it is not loaded.
This issue only happens if user opens a document in another internet tab or explorer instance and open PDF which resulted in to open Acrobat Activex for internet explorer. If user opens a PDF document out side of internet explorer it is not creating any problem because at that time ActiveX does not loaded.
So my guess is something is going on when ActiveX for PDF is get loaded into Internet Explorer.
I want to know more what is happening and why it is happening. Due to this behavior our web site users can't use any other web site which opens PDF documents because then they have to log off and log back in our web site.
Please we need immediate help.
I am open to provide more details with screen captures.
Thanks,
Twinkle

Hi,
Thanks.
So I want to make sure this is because with Acrobat 9 - the new way to deal with PDF's? Because as per my knowledge it was working fine with Acrobat 8.
Moreover, if I am understanding correctly and I have tested too, the order is important here, right? If I will load PDF in IE first and then I will work on my web site it is not creating problem but if I will launch my web site first and then open PDF within IE in different tab it is creating problem because they are using same interface and when AcroPDF instantiating overriding and failed to load plug_in
Here I have seen that both Acrobat.exe and AcroPDF.dll is using same Acrobat.dll pointing to same memory addresses and that's why problem is happening.
IT would be great if you can provide any other way to "hook" adobe because the bottom line I have to use AcroExch.App from SDK.
One last question, I have seen that if I am opening a PDF in Internet Explorer in a different tab (not in my web app) while pressing SHIFT key and the move to my web site and load different document it is working fine, so the question is what different is happening when we open PDF in IE with pressing SHIFT key and without pressing SHIFT key. IS AcroPDF.dll behaves differently while opening PDF with SHIFT key pressed?
Thanks for all your help.

RTSP Embedded for Internet Explorer

Can anyone explain how to embed a RTSP file into a web page for INternet Explorer? Or even point me to an example of someone else doing this on the web? I cannot seem to find any examples of true RTSP files working inside IE. I am using QTSS for both live and cached files and need IE to be able to display them properly. So far all I get is a big blue "Q". THis used to be easy, I think MS changed something in IE???? HELP!

Special coding for Internet Explorer

We are modifying a website that was constructed in 2007 using Dreamweaver. In a .css file containing code for external stylesheets, there are numerous instances of double-coding, based upon brower type-one set of code for IE and another for “other browsers”. The following is an example:
#mainCont1 /* other browsers */ {
float: left;
max-width: 600px;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
z-index:2;
min-height: 650px;
*html #mainCont1 /* for IE */ {
float: left;
width: 598px;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
z-index:2;
height: 650px;
The .css and .html code currently supplied by Dreamweaver when creating a new page does not contain duplicate code for IE. Is there still a reason to code differently for Internet Explorer?
The only reference to variations in browsers when creating a new file in Dreamweaver is the following code in the .css file:
ul, ol, dl { /* Due to variations between browsers, it's best practices to zero padding and margin on lists. For consistency, you can either specify the amounts you want here, or on the list items (LI, DT, DD) they contain. Remember that what you do here will cascade to the .nav list unless you write a more specific selector. */
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
Would adding this code eliminate the need for double coding in css for “other browsers" and then for IE as was done in 2007?

What i can tell about my experience, these are known as "css hacks". If your page code its ok and you page its well build there is no need of this tricks, but sometimes new versions of browsers are "buggy" like IE and you have to help them with this hacks so they show correctly. It happens to me all the time that pages look correctly on firefox for example and different on IE, I dont know why they added the "compatibility mode" button it just get worst.
this happens to me often when using dynamic content with javascript scripts.

Help for Internet Explorer 11

Where do I find Help for Internet Explorer 11 ?
I have Windows 7 64-bit and IE11 but I can't find help for that latest browser. In Help and Support, I only find help for Internet Explorer 9
My problem is that since installing IE 11, I am unable to pin pages viewed on the screen to my Favorites; that is the pages that are pinned are different from the pages being viewed.

Hi
from Desktop IE... Help>Online Support menu
or go to
http://answers.microsoft.com
Include the full address of any webpages that you are having issues with.
Pinning is not the same as Adding to favorites.... Web sites program how their sites are to be pinned or added to the Win7 or Win8 Start menus.
Regards.
