I am unable to install Shockwave, I have Flash is that good enough for movies & games?

Hi everybody. Can you tell I am new at this computer stuff. So, it is not easy for me to ask my question. But I just got this new lab top for Christmas and I want to make sure everything is in working order. I stumbled upon some tips for setting up your lab top on YOU TUBE, and have changed my browser to Firefox. That's when I learned that my Shockwave for Director is out of date. What's that? From the research I did on Adobe, it looks like it's a $299. program? Why would my HP Pavilion lap top have something on it that I can't access? Well, I guess I will have to uninstall it. I don't know maybe you guys have a better answer. But I am not paying for another one when I have no idea what it does? But it looks like the Director works with the Shockwave to make games. Well, I just want the shockwave to play the games. I also tried to install it on Explorer but it won't let me. What is the next step?

    I fould a hack that makes the sites think you have the latest (Intel) version of Flash installed. So I installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari. Here's the info.
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

    Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.

  • Unable to install Active X and Flash Plugin for Acrobat

    I would like to create a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat Pro XI. However, once I have selected the files I get a notification that states, "To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader and Acrobat." When I click the buttom "Proceed to download page," it brings me to this page: Acrobat Help | Flash Player needed | Acrobat, Reader XI
    The problem is, the two download links for Windows don't seem to be working. Is this an across the board issue or is it just me? How can I go about installing these required plugins?

    Hi asbryk,
    I checked the link to install flash player and it is working fine.
    If the 'Flash Player Active X' and 'Flash Player Plug-ins ' are already installed in your system, then first uninstall them.
    For that, please go to Control Panel>Programs and Features and click uninstall.
    Also, check whether you have an updated Acrobat version i.e. 11.0.09 by clicking Help>Check for Updates
    Now, restart your system and install the Flash Player from the same link you tried earlier.
    I hope this will work fine now.
    Regards,
    Anubha

    The MBA is so small and thin many people can't help thinking it is like a Windows netbook - an underpowered toy. It isn't. There's nothing I do on my top end iMac that I can't - and don't - do on my MBA. Of course the iMac has a faster processor, bus speed, and a discrete video card so it is much faster than my MBA. Then again, my computers spend more time waiting for me to do something than I wait for them - and this includes using Photoshop and compiling code.
    If I were writing large programs - something like Word for example - I'd want a very fast processor to speed up the compile/debug/compile cycle. But for iOS development your codebase will be much smaller. Frankly I can't see that much difference between a 13" MBA and a 13" MBP for development purposes. Now a top of the line 15" MBP is a different matter with its much faster CPU and separate video card.

  • Unable to install Shockwave - version 10

    I am a very new user of Mac's and feel slightly clueless... i am trying to use a site called Rosetta stone languages online, it is not compatible with the latest version of shockwave (11) so i am trying to install version 10. I go to the site for downloads and it says click to install and it installs the installer and doesn't seem to install the latest version ? not sure if i need to do anything more then that. I run the system check on the site i wish to use and it still picks up the mac as having version 8 . Can anyone help ?? in fact i do not know where to even look on a mac, do i need to remove the old one first ? its not in my applications...

    Another possibility: could the 256 MB RAM chip be bad? Faults in just a few memory locations could cause problems during install. Usually, if RAM were suspect, I'd suggest using Memtest in single-user mode, but that's not workable in this case, where there's no OS on the hard drive. Since the odds of happening to have a known-good DDR PC2700 memory chip lying about aren't high, you can at least try pulling the RAM that's in the eMac now, cleaning the connectors, and re-seating the ship, in either the current slot or the other one. There's a small but non-zero chance that the RAM is slightly loose in the slot, and reseating ould help. RAM installation instructions are at eMac - Do-It-Yourself.

  • Unable to Install Shockwave

    Went through the help stuff but it didn't help - please I
    really need some help.
    Windows XP - System
    Everytime I go to a page with a shockwave, it starts the
    download. About halfway it pauses, does the "system configure" then
    ... opens a new IE page, same page I was on, and starts the
    download again. It'll do this over and over and over and over...
    and never installs shockwave.
    What do I do?

    No one has been able to download or install Shockwave for 2
    or 3 months now and no one affiliated with Shockwave has even
    responded to any users so far. I check every few days or so...

  • Unable to install newest version of flash

    So I am running Windows seven, and for awhile now I have been unable to install the newest version of Flash, at first I got an error message, now that has gone away but I click the install file install_flashplayer13x32_mssd_aaa_aih and nothing happens, at all.
    I try and click it again and it says it's already running. So for months now I haven't been able to update my flash, which for now hasn't been a problem online luckily, but on Steam I can barely use the steam client anymore and because of it several games have stopped working etc... so I really need help

    Use these installers instead:

    I haven't done this in Windows 7, only XP, but I imagine something similar will work....
    Here is the uninstaller: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Here are the instructions for "safe uninstall": http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402435.html
    And here are the archived players: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
    Also I think there was something about using a "/clean" switch after the uninstall command.
    It was a little while ago, so there might be newer versions out there....
