Keeping flash player from being uninstalled

I thimk that registry Mechanic is causing me to have to
reinstall Flash Player everytime I use it. They say I can add a key
or number to exclude it from being changed or erased each time-
What do I use to identify and add to their exclude list?I am
running Flash Player 9 active x-

Flash Player is a plugin, and typically used by browsers (and sometimes other software.)  Flash, by itself, won't open flv files.  Instead you'd load those files into your web browser and it would load Flash to render them.
I don't know if Rhapsody uses the ActiveX or NPAPI versions of Flash Player.  Which do you have installed?  You can check this by going into the Programs and Features control panel and looking for the Adobe Flash Player entry(s).  It'll say NPAPI, PPAPI, or ActiveX at the end.

  • The latest version of flash player is installed and yet none of the programs that use it can find or access it. I am running Windows 7. Is there anything in the Registry that could be blocking flash player from being accessed or used?

    The subject is the question. Files with flv extensions cannot be run or identified. Other software that uses flash player such as Rhapsody, can't find or use it either. It feels like a registry problem. Please do not waste time suggesting I uninstall and reinstall flash player as I have done than several times with no improvement or solution.

  • How Do I Stop Flash Player From Storing Cache?

    Windows XP SP3
    Latest Flash Player (i just upgraded it to the latest as of today)
    There are a couple of directories on my HDD that appear to be the place where Flash stores cache.
    One of them is (#1):
    c:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Adobe\Flash Player\AssetCache\
    The other is (#2):
    c:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\#sharedobjects
    These directories were so bloated with subdirectories that it literally took about 12 HOURS OR MORE to delete everything in them!  I'm not kidding.
    There must have been 100,000 subfolders or maybe even more in these folders.  They were choking everything on my computer that had to read past them.
    I FINALLY was able to delete everything from them after hours of work.
    Now I want to keep them empty, so this doesn't happen again but I can't find out how to do that.  It is so dang frustrating.  I looked and looked for a way to shut this storage off.
    I finally found the online "Settings Manager" and thought I FINALLY solved the problem after setting the "Global Storage" setting to "Never" and unchecking the "Allow third party Flash content to be stored on your computer" and "Store common Flash components to reduce download times" boxes.
    BUT NO!!!
    It didn't do a thing.  I looked at those two folders again and they are still being filled up with new subfolders!!!!
    UUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
    How do I keep Flash Player from storing this unwanted mess on my computer?!
    Thank you for ANY HELP!

    PS:
    Before I set the global settings as I stated above, I DELETED all the "Websites already visited" from the list in Settings Manager so that ALL Websites would be set according to the global settings.
    But none of that did a thing to stop the new folders from being created anyway.  How do I stop them??!!!

  • Trouble with keeping Flash Player installed

    Windows 7
    IE 64 bit
    Latest Flash Player
         I'm having trouble with keeping the latest flash player installed and even registering it's installed. When I install it, there are no error messages, and around 50% it jumps to being finished installing. My flash files don't read the flash player as being installed and when I restart my computer, if I go to a website that requires flash player, it tells me I need to install Flash Player version X (usually 9) despite having installed version 11.7.700.169.
         I've been having this problem since I installed CS 6 about two to three months ago. After following the installation path I find that both the 64 bit version and the 32 bit version have been installed somehow even though I downloaded the 64 bit version.
         I just found out that it may be causeing problems viewing Youtube videos as well.

  • Flash Player plugin being blocked on websites although it is the latest version

    Flash Player is being blocked on Ubuntu 12.04 although according to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/?utm_source=firefox-browser&utm_medium=firefox-browser&utm_campaign=plugincheck-update the plugin is at the latest version.

    You may have multiple versions installed if you have not removed the older versions. http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html#main_Download_the_Adobe_Flash_Player_uninstaller
    15.0.0.2'''39''' is Not the current version of Flash 15.0 as there has been 15.0.0.2'''42''' which is on blocklist also and 15.0.0.2'''46''' which is not on blocklist as it is not vulnerable since.
    As I said the Plugin check page is basically useless when it is not up to date on what version to check for as current.
    Flash 16.0.0.235 and 13.0.0.259 ESR for Windows/Mac are at

  • Last flash player from Adobe is broken

    Hello
    Last flash player from Adobe seems to be broken when using with Chatroulette:
    on Macbook Air camera stopped working
    on iMac 27" works, but Safari takes 100% cpu (when Flash Player is running with Chatroulette)
    Other users experience the same
    My configuration
    Mac OS 10.6.4
    Flash Player: 10.1.102.64, 10,1,103,19
    Safari, Chrome
    I tried re-installing Flash Player, creating new account, changing language, changing browsers, running Disc Utility = nothing helped
    I tried downloading Chrome because I heard there is different version of Flash Player (10,1,103,19)
    Result is same.
    Hardware is brand new, operating system is brand new. Everything worked until last flash update.
    Please assist! Some of our users experience the same problems
    As a temporary solution I have installed Adobe Flash Player 10.2 but it is unstable and our users cannot do that. However it works
    Thanks much
    Andrey

    This is STILL an issue.   There is something badly broken in the Mac version of Flash 10.   I have a brand new macbook pro, and had the original install of flash 9.  My cameras worked fine.   When I upgraded to 10 -- and yes, I *did* uninstall the previous version -- I lost the ability to config my camera, since it stopped appearing in the control panel dialog.
    I uninstalled Flash 10, saying many not-so-nice things about Adobe and their exceptionally poor QA in the process, and re-installed Flash 9.   Sure enough, my cam worked like a charm. 
    Hey Adobe guys:   If you are reading these forums, PLEASE try to fix this!!!!  Downgrading is only a temporary fix, as more and more sites are specifically requiring for Flash 10.
    GET YOUR QA TEAM TO TEST THIS!!!!!!!!!  PLEASE!!!!!!!!

    No, you can authorize any number of email addresses on your Apple Id and then select one of those to use as an alternate Send and Recieve for Messages. It isn't necessary to use seperate AppleIDs. I use my phone number on my iPhone and an email address on the iPad.

  • Re: How do I keep an application from being started morethan once?

    Here are some quick ideas. None of them should be too hard to implement,
    although each has some drawbacks.
    1. Have a login server track who is logged on, and if there is already a
    logon for a given user or a given machine, then deny the application
    startup. The nice thing about this is that a user will not be able to have
    multiple logins even by going to another machine. Then again, this may not
    be so nice, and you also get a possible single point of failure on the
    login server for which you will have to prepare.
    2. Drop to the operating system, and get a list of processes for the client
    machine. If the name of one of them matches the name of application that
    is being run, then deny startup. This avoids a network hit, but requires
    some OS specific code. Also, a clever user could change the name of an
    executable to get around this. Note that a user could have another login
    on another machine.
    3. Write to a file on the local machine. You can hide the file in some
    suitable place, and can also scramble some information so that a user
    cannot get around having this file present by reading from the file at
    startup and then writing to it. Based on the state of your application,
    the file will have some scrambled information indicating if an instance of
    an application can be started. If you retain the write lock (i.e. do not
    close) the file for the duration of the application, you increase your
    security at the risk of a confused user if the application gets terminated
    without releasing the lock. Depending on the OS where the client will run,
    this could be an issue. If you like this option, perform some experiments
    first on all configurations of an example client machine to determine the
    behavior. Again, this only works to prevent an extra login on a single
    machine, not system wide.
    If you are not concerned about your users hacking around too much and don't
    care about a login on another machine, I would opt for some version of
    number 3. Otherwise, I would venture number 1.

    Yet another quick and dirty solution is to use local ExternalConnections.
    This is a single instance per machine solution.
    Example is attached.

    Subject: Re: How do I keep an application from being started more than
    once?
    Martin,
    there are two ways to read your question
    (a) no more than one instance of an application per machine
    (b) no more than one instance of an application per "user"
    now if a user has only one machine, and your system has "userids" and you
    only want
    one active "session" per "user" then the distinction is irrelevant.
    However, many systems
    let people share logins, so a token based thing enforcing one login will be
    problematic.
    The downside of #1 approach suggested by Curtis happens when a machine gets
    hosed without "logging" the user off the security system, then they can't
    get in until their ticket expires or a sysadmin gets involved. Should be
    manageable, however. But this enforces one application
    instance per user, unless you check both for the presence of an active
    token for that user as well as the presence of a token tied to that
    particular node name. Otherwise there is nothing to prevent the same user
    from launching the app again and logging in as a different user. This is
    definitely the best approach of the bunch, and can be adapted for either
    (a) or (b).
    Suggestion # 2 won't work unless the application is built as a compiled
    client,
    since the process name will be 'ftexec' and not the "name" of the
    application. And it doesn't
    prevent a user from launching the app from a different machine (or people
    sharing logins). So again it depends on what you are trying to achieve.
    #3 also only prevents multiple instances per machine, not necessarily by
    user. Of course
    most people don't have multiple machines. The point is that you may be
    trying to
    prevent your users from sharing logins. In which case the file thing won't
    do it.
    Some other ideas:
    1. You could, however, enforce one application per machine using the
    installed partition agent's ExecutingPartition instrument name. As long as
    the user doesn't run the app in a different environment, you can have the
    app check at startup time if there is another
    ActivePartition running under the same InstalledPartition name.
    (ActivePartitions are child agents
    of InstalledPartitions).
    2. use the ObjectLocationManager and bind a simple object into the naming
    system using a naming scheme such as
    /MyApplication/MyNode or
    /MyApplication/MyUserId
    the presence of either one would indicate that another instance of that
    application is running on either that machine or that user. Of course
    these have to be cleaned out, and subject to similar downside as
    alternative #1. So you'd essentially be using the forte naming system as a
    distributed lock manager (ouch).
    3. Have the application remove the shortcut to launch it upon startup, and
    recreate it when it is finished, or move it to a hidden place. There it
    is - the worst idea I've ever come up with. Don't
    do this!
    Regards,
    John
