Revert to Flash Player 8 on Vista?

I am having issues with fscommand("exec",'myfile.exe") in
using CS3. I need to revert back to player 8 and I can't seem to do
this. I have uninstalled the flash player 8 active x control. And
installed an archived version of 8...but the player keeps using
version 9. I am testing with a flash projector file... would that
have the player 9 already built into it?
Thanks,
Doug

All sites? Truly all? My immediate hunch is that you're
probably
running into JavaScript (or other) Flash version detection
that doesn't know
how to recognize or accommodate your operating system.

I need to know how to run Flash Player in a Vista 32-bit browser running on a 64-bit O.S.

Help please ! I have been reading for days, trying everything to find the answer to my dilemma, which BTW is making it impossible to use our new computer now. Every other minute it seems I get the message that I need to run Flash Player in a VISTA 32-bit browser which is actually running on a 64-bit operating system. Do I have to uninstall a program (what and where is it) and then instal something else (from where etc.)?
Give me back our XP! I get the idea that Adobe keeps SAYING they are developing a platform for Adobe Flash to run on a 64-bit, but I fear that is only a stall. Who is responsible for helping neophytes? No matter how many times I have tried to contact Adobe, it is a joke. One time, even though I do not have a subscription for service, the poor man took pity on me. But his Indian accent was so severe I have ZERO idea what he was saying. Can one of you wonderful, erudite, helpful people out there give me the solution in computer language 101?? I will be forever grateful. I wish our computer "guru" had been smart enough to give us the pros and cons when he suggested Vista and 64..... When I am asked for a serial number even I have no earthly idea how to get that either. I feel completely HELPLESS and SLEEPLESS in Tucson. Thanks SOOOO much to whomever can get me going in the right direction. (Forgive my LONG message. I had to vent. I feel better.) CLOWG

Hi Clowg,
Sorry to hear that you are having trouble. Unfortunately, I don't believe the folks here on this forum will be able to help you with your issue. Have you tried posting on the Flash Player forum?

I amhaving trouble with flash player on my vista. The extension is oxe instead of exe.

Hi. I download adobe flash player on my vista windows. I need it for games I like to play. However, I keep getting the message the adobe flash player "install/uninstall is not working". I have to uninstall it if I want to go into yahoo, google or any other website. Then my computer works fine. But if I want to go into any of my games I have to reinstall it.

Same here, just updated to Flash Player 16.0.0.287 after reading about security warnings, and it is now crashing constantly on any web pages that have flash embedded, which are numerous. I'll either have to disable the plugin or attempt to find a download for the prior version and take my chances on security. I know Adobe rushes these updates out due to security concerns, but better testing should be done.

I am attempting to download Adobe Flash Player onto a Vista Operating system, which version do I use?

Use the latest 32-bit version (11.2.202.235).
The 64-bit version is not officially supported on Vista; however, if you have Vista 64-bit, you may try if you succeed installing and running the 64-bit version of Flash Player. You can download the installer(s) from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#ins tall_in_a_firewall_proxy_server_environment

How to install Flash Player with Windows Vista 64 bit?

IE 9, Windows Vista 64-bit, Flash Player quit working and won't install. Error Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.55. I have deactivated User Accounts and Security, gone to Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash and Run as Administrator NPSWF32_FlashUtil, and still not working. One suggestion was to run an add-on from Macromedia, but that failed and I don't know what the add-on was. Have also run System Restore and restored all my Internet security setttigs to default. Nothing is working!

If you can not see the moving sphere: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
Check the following:
Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer 9
ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer 9
Also check this:
In I.E.9, click Tools, click Internet options, click Security tab, ensure that the Internet security level is Medium-high.

Installing Flash Player on Windows Vista for Dell

I am trying to install the lastest version of Flash Player on a computer system that has a specific version of Vista on it. It has the version that is specific for Dell computers.

Download and run the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header

Hi,
I have been having some problems downloading this for over a year now even when I reinstall or reboot my pc or whatever, even change the security settings so I need your help. I found the support center which said:
http://http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#Download but then I dont even know how to locate the flash folder, where is that? How do I find it?
then do I have to highlight 10a before right clicking it? otherwise where do I right click exactly? when you say to run the flash player installer, do you mean to just click it? Cause I did and it came on but then even after downloading or installing the uninstaller and running it then installing again, it wont work even when I do that and then reboot my pc...Is there any possibility that it cant work on my pc? How would I know?
See...Im no tech expert so I really need your help. Please reply asap. Thanks a lotttt!!!

Hi, well I'm sorry you are having such a hard time. We'll see what the problem may be. First to answer your question,
the OS means operating system. Which if you are using Windows, then your OS is Vista. It could be XP or the newest one
which is Windows7, Win7 for short. Now if someone is using a Mac, then that would be their OS.
Now your computer and all computers can install and run Flash Player. However there are a few things that can cause a problem, so I'll list a few.
The first thing and most important is that you must be the Administrator of your computer. If this is your computer and you set up the accounts, the first account set up would be the Administrator account. You can look at that as the "Boss"
Now some people will set up accounts for other people but they are not Administrator accounts, they are called User or Limited accounts. They cannot be "Boss":-) There are some other things, but I'm stating it this way, so you can better understand.
When you Install programs, like Flash Player, you have to use the Administrator account to do so.
Don't think you are the only one having problems. We'll find out what it is and fix it.
Since using the Administrator account is the most important, I want you to go down to where the clock it. With your mouse, right click over the time that is showing. Then when the small window opens, left click on Adjust Date/Time.
Then post back and tell me what you saw.
Thanks,

Flash player 9 on Vista 64

Oddly enough, after having installed the Flash player 9 on my
32 bits browser on Vista Ultimate 64, I get presented with a
message, all sites that use Flash content, which tells me I need
Flash player 6 or higher to view their content.
I'm clueless to a solution. I've done anything on my end that
I could come up with to fixt the problem:
1) Reinstall the player on my 32 bits browser.
2) Make sure I use the same browser to view the sites.
3) Restart the browser.
4) Reboot my system.
5) Use a registry fixing tool to fix possible errors in the
registry.
6) Reinstall again.
Your install web page confirms every time I visit it that I
have Flash 9 installed, however all those other sites keep
insisting that I need to install a Flash player version 6 or
higher. It makes me want to pull out my hair...
Any ideas as to how I can resolve my problem?

Flash Player 10 on Vista 64 bits

Dear community,
The 64 bits Flash player is not yet available on Vista 64
bits.
Thus, the working way is to run IE 7 in 32 bits mode, and
install the 32 bits flash player.
Is this environnement officialy supported by Adobe, IOW, can
we report bugs with such a config.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Urgent help. Flash Player error in Vista

I am using a website for college that requires flash. When I
try to install it (tried several times), a small caution sig
appears (bottom left hand corner of IE7) with the words, "
Error On Page" beside it. When I click it, a window opens
with the text, "error in loadin DLL"
In Vista,
Control Panel>Programs>Programs and Features
window, the Flash Player icon (identical to the one that can be
found here
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&pr omoid=BONRN)
has a small red "X" on top of it. I guess it's
installed but not correctly
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply.
The pages are not online yet, I am just trying to set up the
pages and add to my website.
