Remove NPSWF32.DLL from old version of Macromedia Flash Player

A security check of my system has revealed the insecure file
npswf32.dll (relating to Macromedia Flash Player 7.0.19.0) sitting
in both C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge\browser\plugins\ and
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help
Center\Browser\plugins\NPSWF32.dll.
I have run Adobe's flash uninstaller, and downloaded and
installed the latest version of the player (presumably 9.0.28.0),
but these dlls are still present.
Does anyone have any idea how I can update them?
Thanks.

    If you are talking about Safari on the iPad, there is no version of Adobe Flash for iOS and there never has been. Clear Safari, close the app and reset the iPad.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If you are talking about Safari on your Mac, you are in the wrong forum. But I would still clear the cache, quit Safari and restart the Mac.

  • HT5271 Downloaded latest Apple updates that informed me old versions of Adobe Flash Player were disabled and advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before.

    Downloaded latest Safari update that informed me that older versions of Adobe Flash Player were being disabled and then advised me to go to Adobe and down load latest version of Flash Player. Did that, but Flash Player won't play swf files, which it did before. (Instead of opening, it comes up as a page of code).

    Hi..
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click:  Delete All
    Now select the Storage tab.
    Click Delete All
    Relaunch Safari to test.

  • Getting old versions of the Flash Player

    I need to get Flash Player 7 somehow to test out a website...
    Is there anyway I can switch from Flash 9 to Flash 7 somehow? It's
    a pain!

    Old players are available here:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14266.
    Here's a quite helpful program that lets you switch between
    installed versions:
    http://www.kewbee.de/produkte/PluginSwitcher.html.
    Look at the readme how to get it to work, it's a bit strange to
    setup, but works fine once it's installed properly.

  • What do I do if my iPad is requesting me to download adobes newest version of macromedia flash player.

    Is there an app that Apple provides since they have blocked access to download adobe flash player for my IPad 2?

    There is no flash player for the iPad as Apple don't want it (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/) and Adobe have never been able to make it and they've given up trying.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so your could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app).

  • Macromedia Flash Player, what am I doing wrong?

    I'm a simp and I'm stumped! I used to be able to watch videos on youtube but now when I go there I get the message: "Hello, you either have Javascript turned off or an old version of Macromedia Flash Player". I have no idea (and I've been looking) how to get info on turning on Javascript and when I go to the link and try to download a newer version of Flash Player it goes to a page saying: "Not found - The requested URL/flashplayer etc., was not found on this server". What did I do to screw things up? What am I doing wrong? What can I do to fix this so I can watch videos again?

    Hi, Jupie -
    Re Sherlock, it sounds like you may be activating a network search instead of searching on your hard drive.
    Check which of the icons in the upper section of Sherlock's window is highlighted - has a greenish border added to it. If your search is to be of the local volume(s) (drives), be sure the icon that looks like an external hard drive case is the one highlighted. If the one that looks like a globe is highlighted, Sherlock will attempt a network search.
    Re increasing the memory allocation for a program - it really isn't difficult, nor should it be risky in any way. Here's how to do it -
    First, quit the program if it's running.
    Then click once on the icon of the program itself, not on an alias to it. If you customarily use an alias to activate the program, a quick way to het to the original is to click once on the alias, then press Command-R (Show Original from the File menu). This will open the folder containing the original, no matter how deeply it is buried, and highlight the original. Then all you need do is press Command-I (Get Info from the File menu).
    Select Get Info from the File menu (if you've not already done that), and then select Memory from the pulldown menu in the Get Info window.
    In the new pane, at the bottom, are three boxes with numbers in them - the one you want to change is the last one, labelled Preferred.
    For most programs, an increase of 50% is a good starting point; for small apps like control panels and printing software, doubling is okay; for browsers, email apps, and graphics apps, try at least doubling or tripling the original Preferred amount to start with.
    Replace the old number in the box with the new one - no commas - close the window, and you're done.
    There are a few tricks you can do with Sherlock - for example, restricting its search to just a single folder. This can be very handy to save time when doing a Find By Content search.

  • Cant uninstall Macromedia Flash Player 6

    My system is unable to uninstall and upgrade from Macromedia Flash Player 6.0 r21. I have tried the Flash Player uninstall and the Flash Player 6 uninstall. I have manually deleted the Flash.ocx files wherever they occur.
    The Adobe Website acknowledges the latest Flash Player installed on my system, but when right click on a flash file I still only get the oprion of open with: Macromedia Flash Player 6.0 r21.
    Ther are files which prompt me to upgrade to the latest Flash Player, which I have done on many occasions. Remove programs does not even list the Macromedia Flash Player 6.
    I have even tried to upgrade to the later versions of versions Macromedia Flash Player 6, without success. I simply cannot get rid of Macromedia Flash Player 6.0 r21
    I have Windows XP home SP2
    Can anybody help?

    "The Adobe Website acknowledges the latest Flash Player installed on my system, but when right click on a flash file I still only get the oprion of open with: Macromedia Flash Player 6.0 r21."
    Flash is designed to play SWF content inside a browser. It's a browser plugin.  It's not designed to open local SWF on your system as an installed application.  So when you update to Flash player 10, you're updating your Flash Player ActiveX control (for IE windows) or the Flash Player plugin (for Firefox and all other OS/browsers).
    So, when you point your browser to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome and it says you have Flash Player 10 then you have the most recent version.  If you need to open a local SWF launch your browser and use file:open
    Now, if you really want to try to get the older player off your machine I'd use the command line uninstall in http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402435.html
    (but keep in mind that should uninstall ALL Flash Player files from your machine, so you'd have to resinstall FP10 afterwards).

  • Macromedia Flash Player for .swf

    Can anyone tell me that is Macromedia Flash Player necessory
    to open any .swf file on our machine? Or can we open any .swf file
    without installing any version of Macromedia Flash Player?
    Thanks in advance :)

    Then you already have the flash player control .. so you can
    view swf files
    in the web browser. That is the only free and distributable
    player.
    There is no free distributable stand-alone player. one comes
    with Flash
    itself (the authoring program), but you cannot redistribute
    it.
    You can, however, convert a SWF file into a standalone player
    that includes
    the player .. this is called a "projector".

  • Downloading from a Macromedia Flash Player Video

    Is it possible to download a video message sent through
    Sightspeed, that is in a Macromedia Flash Player format? I've tried
    to right click it and all I get is Macromedia Flash Player
    Settings.

    oldmovieguy:
    See if you can use Image Capture (located in the Application folder) to upload the video file to the desktop before importing into iPhoto.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • My version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with my version of Windows

    I am trying to use a new copy of Camtasia Studio 3, and I keep gettiong the error message that my version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with my version of Windows and that I should ocntact Adobe for support. So here I am.
    I am running Windows7 64bit, and it's a brand new computer so I know that there aren't tons of legacy installations or Flash players on it. This page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html tells me that I have Flash Player version 11.4.31.110 installed but that I should have 11.4.402.287 installed. But I have installed the latest Flash player from the Adobe site (twice!) and it never gives me an option for 11.4.31.110 vs 11.4.402.287.
    I am using Chrome and Flash is working fine in my browser: It's only Camtasia that isn't working well.
    Thanks!

    Hm, I assume you mean Camtasia Studio 8?
    Check the chart on the page you linked. You'll see that the version you have installed is in fact the latest version for Chrome. They haven't updated it beyond that. Each browser engine has its own latest version of flash. IE and Mozilla are 11.4.402.287.
    Aside that, there's no reason Camtasia should be requiring you to have that version of flash. Make sure when you're publishing your content that you don't check off any options to "require the user to have the latest version of Flash". You should also (if possible in your project) try to target MP4/HTML5. Check any HTML being generated with it (hopefully using SWFObject) and check for the version checking code. There is absolutely nothing Camtasia needs to require the latest version to do. I've been using Camtasia (TechSmith codec mostly) for screen recording since version 2.

    I tried clicking on the Adobe Flash Player.  It said it accepted it but it did not make a difference.

    You haven't actually asked a question, but as stated you should only download Flash Player directy from Adobe.
    Nor have you said what version of OS X and Safari you are running.
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • Can't update or uninstall Macromedia Flash player!

    Hi folks!
    I've got a problem concerning the automatically installed Flash player. I am using a Qosmio G20.
    While installing a new program (Lexware Financial Office) this program tried to update the Macromedia Flash player to the newest version. But the deinstallation of the old player was interrupted and the following message was displayed:
    The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
    Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'install_flash_player_7.msi' in the box below.
    Use source:
    C:\Sysprep\
    Closing this window does end the whole installation process of this new program.
    After that I opened the list of installed programs to uninstall Flash manually, but with the same result.
    Then I searched the internet for this install_flash_player_7.msi. I found the file but I still can't remove or update the Flash Player.
    As a last chance I backed up all my data and used the recovery DVD to reinstall the whole system. Without installing any additional application, I had a look at the list of installed programs and guess what? The Flash Player has already been installed, so it is part of the recovery DVD.
    But why can't it be uninstalled? I really need to get rid of the old player to be able to install Lexware Financial Office...
    Thank you for your help in advance!
    Yvonne

    Thanks Eldorado,
    but I think I explained it not exactly enough: I know that the old Flash installation is looking for a file that seems to be on antoher pc / server / disc or what ever, but the problem is, that I did not install the Flash Player that I would like to remove, respectively upadte to the newest version.
    It is part of the Toshiba Recovery DVD. That means, after killing the HD and setting up the system completely new with the Toshiba Recovery DVD, this little tricky Flash Player is already installed.
    It seems to be that there is a wrong link or setup on this DVD. But if that is the case, I can not be the only one with this problem, or?
    And is there any way to remove this thing manually?
    Again, thanks in advance.
