How do I prevent Adobe Website attempt to install Flash Player which freezes Windows e-mail browser.

For past several days, my Windows e-mail browser frequently freezes and must be closed. This occurs whenever message near top of browser states that Adobe website wants to install Adobe Flashplayer. Windows explanation states that termination is a result of Data Execution Prevention (DEP). How do I stop Adobe Website attempts to install Flash Player, or if that is not possible, what is a solution? I have uninstalled Flash Player in an attempt to resolve problem without success.

You can find a link and instructions for the last version of Flash Player compatible with PowerPC in this FAQ:
What version of Flash Player should I use with my Power PC based Mac?
For what it's worth, Apple itself discontinued support for PowerPC with their operating systems back in 2009 with the release of Snow Leopard.  Regardless, I know its frustrating when your system is no longer supported.  Hopefully the instructions I posted in the FAQ allow you to get Flash content running again.

  • Attempting to INSTALL Flash Player 17, on WIndows 7, Firefox 36.0.1-why did I never used to have a problem?

    I am using Windows 7, Firefox 36.0.1, and attempting to INSTALL Flash Player 17. I never had problems until about a year ago, the way the installation & set up was so easy...now, I fight with it for days every month when a new update is ready. There used to be 2-3 easy steps to follow; now I click to download, watch the diagram until it finishes, find the icon on my desktop, and click it again (presumbly to download & install), and it disappears. I do not know where or how to see it; a few minutes later I go to my Firefox Plug in Check page...and it shows that it still is not update! So I go through the whole friggan process again...WHY????

    Hello,
    Please do the following:
    Download the uninstaller, Uninstall Flash Player | Windows
    Download the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page in the 'Still having problems' section
    Run the uninstaller
    Reboot your system
    Run the installer
    After installation completes, go to Flash Player Help and click on the 'Check Now' button.  The results should indicate that you have the latest version, 17.0.0.134, installed.

    I am running IE 11 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Service Pack 1. When I attempt to install Flash Player, it goes through all of the steps, tells me the player is installed, and welcomes me. I cannot open the player and it does not appear in the Start Menu, Task Manager, System Tray, or anywhere else. When I try to open a file, the site tells me Flash player is not installed. I have even downloaded it to a separate folder and ran the install with IE shut down completely. And Shockwave in ENABLED but in 32 bit .I have been trying to get this to work for about 3 weeks now.  HELP!!!

    Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable program.
    If you need to open a local SWF file you will need the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will need to make the file association manually.

  • Multiple attempts at installing flash player have failed

    I have attempted at least 7 times to download & install Flash Player.  I still get Alerts when I try to watch video on abc.com.  Why isn't flash player updating?
    also, once I get to step 3 of 3, there's an ad to purchase something that I don't want.  there's no button to push that says "no thanks".  Should I just close out the page?

    It sounds like you've completed the installation successfully, but it's not working in your browser for some other reason.
    This is typically caused by third-party add-ons like ad-blocking or anti-tracking plugins, or third party anti-virus/anti-malware tools.  If none of that stuff sounds familiar, you might want to make sure you're running a current version of Firefox.
    If that doesn't work, you can try refreshing Firefox:
    Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings | Firefox Help
    If you're still stuck, then something is corrupted.
    I'd check to make sure that the filesystem is in good shape:
    http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2641432
    Then I would uninstall and reinstall both Firefox and Flash:
    Uninstall Flash Player | Windows
    Internet Explorer:

    Firefox and other NPAPI browsers:

    Hello,
    At which point during the Flash Player installation process are you prompted to open a browser to view a PDF document?
    Can you verify if Flash Player is successfully installed by visiting http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html?

  • Even though Adobe says I "successfully installed" Flash Player 11, the is no sign of it in Programs

    Please contact me back with any ideas.  System check by Adobe website and others says there is NO Adobe Flash Player on my PC even though the base model came pre-installed from Dell.  I was just doing an Update to Player 11.
    Thanks for any help you can.  David

    It isn't in your programs because it ISN'T a program... it's a plugin for your browser and THAT'S where you'll find it. If you use WIndows 8, Flash Player IS embedded in Internet Explorer. It updates through Windows Update.

  • ADOBE SITE FAILING TO INSTALL FLASH PLAYER

    ADOBE SITE EXTREMELY SLOW TO RESPOND OR FAILING TO LOAD WEB PAGES, FAILING TO PROPERLY INSTALL MOST RECENT VERSION OF FLASH PLAYER, ACTION LIST NOT FOUND ERROR.

    If the site is having problems delivering content, that is an occasional occurence.  Try again at a later time.  If you continue to have difficulties, try posting in the Flash Player (Installation) forum after searching it for possible solutions.

  • Prevent Adobe application manager  auto install downloaded software

    I used Adobe application manager to download a trial version of photoshop cs6, but I need to install it at another time. Adobe application manager instead installs photoshop immediately.
    How Can I prevent Adobe application manager to install downloaded software automatically?

    You can only download a trial once, so you need to download it when you can use it.

  • How do I install flash player from the home screen?

    I am operating Mac OSX.  I have flash player version 16.0.0.  I can't play any videos because my flash player is out of date.  I download the latest flash player and when I go to install it, it takes me here www.adobe.com.  There is no "Install flash player" prompt like there used to be.  There is a "Download Creative Cloud" prompt for a fee.  I go to the menu and there is no install flash player prompt.  I go to Adobe Flash Player in the lower right hand corner and it prompts me to download the flash player again but not to install it and then I end up right back to the Adobe home screen again where there is no install flash player prompt.  I search "install flash player" and it takes me to a prompt to download the flash player again which of course brings me back to the home screen where again, there is no install now prompt.  I've been at this for days, extremely frustrated.  How do I install flash player?

    Hi Alicia,
    If the browser is opening when you attempt to mount the DMG image, then somehow, the browser has been set as the default program to open DMG files.  You'll need to change this association for the DiskImageMounter.app file to be the default program to open the DMG file.  Please do the following:
    Select the installer DMG file and CTRL-click on the DMG file.If DiskImageMounter.app is available, select that and skip to step 4 below
    From the menu, select Open With > and then select Other...to open Finder
    In Finder, navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices, look for DiskImageMounter.app and select it
    At the bottom center of the Finder window, put a check in the box next to Always Open With
    Click Open in the bottom right of the Finder window
    This will mount the DMG file revealing the installer app.
    Double-click the installer app (Install Adobe Flash Player.app) to launch the installer dialog window.
    Follow prompts to install Flash Player

  • How do I prevent a website from opening another window

    A couple of websites I occasionally visit open up a second window to a spam website. I have put an entry in my Hosts file to prevent Firefox from connecting to the spam websites, so the second window is empty. However, it's still a little annoying.
    I have pop-up blocking turned on. Is there anyway to completely block the opening of the second window?
    If not, why not?

    Thank you for taking the time to reply. I really do appreciate it.
    Unfortunately, the link you posted tells me exactly nothing. My question is "How do I prevent a website from opening unwanted windows". These are full Firefox windows, just like you would get if you right clicked on a link and selected "open in a new window".
    There are only two possible answers:
    (A) To block unwanted windows, do this ________ (insert answer)
    or
    (B) It's not possible.
    If the answer is (B) then the follow-up question is -- Why Not?

  • How do I prevent Adobe from taking my jpegs and making them pdf files? I have had to uninstall Adobe to access my photos as jpegs.

    How do I prevent Adobe from taking my jpegs and making them pdf files? I have had to uninstall Adobe to access my photos as jpegs.

    I would suggest you change your file associations so that jpgs open in a program other than Acrobat.  Assuming you have a Windows machine, just go to the Start, and search for "file associations" ... it's part of the Control Panel.
    Scroll down to the file type jpg, and set it to open with whatever graphic preview or editing program you have that you want to use as the default.  From that point on, when you click on a jpg, it should not open Acrobat and instantly try to convert it to a pdf.
