Scared to follow troubleshooting directions for Active X registry problem

Hopefully someone can help....Few weeks ago we started getting error messages that we couldn't view content online unless we upgraded to Flash 10.3.  I have tried and tried, but keep getting error that Active X cannot be registered.  I've read through the trouble shooting info on this error message and as a casual computer user it scares the daylights out of me.  There is no way I can go into the system registry to fix on my own!  I have an older computer running Windows XP Professional and IE 8.  Any help would be appreciated!!!!

That means Flash Player is not completely installed.  I recommend you follow these steps
download the FP uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html (save to disk);
download the installer(s) from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html (save to disk);
run the downloaded uninstaller;
run the SubInACL procedure described in my earlier post;
run the downloaded installer(s).

  • Bookmarks are saved yet after using the page icon is still displayed instead of the actual icon for the website. I have followed the directions for "Favicons do not display".

    My bookmarks, on a HP Pavilion dv-7-2273cl notebook, are saved yet the page icon is still displayed after using the bookmark instead of the actual icon for the website. I have followed the directions for "Favicons do not display" without any success. This problem is not experienced on my much older Gateway desktop.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • I followed the directions for changing the name of my iPad and it did so in iTunes but the old name remains on the actual iPad. How can I change the name on the iPad itself?

    I followed the directions posted in questions/answers for changing the name of my iPad and it changed the name in iTunes but not on the actual iPad. How can I change the name on the iPad too?

    On your iPad, go to settings, general, about and click on name then change it.

  • After following the directions for attaching my IPad via the Apple digital AV adapter

    I followed the directions. My TV is managed through a Yamaha receiver. I tried using different ports, but my iPad didn't show on my TV monitor. What am I missing?

    I tried connecting it directly to the TV & got the same non-result. Of course, would like it to go through my receiver so I get the benefit of my surround sound system. Got any other ideas? Thanks

  • When I follow the directions for making a blank page my home page, nothing happens. Now what?

    The tutorial directions tell me that if I want a blank page as my home page then I should open a new tab and drag&drop the icon over the "home" button on the right. Nothing happens.

    The way I did it was like this.
    In the location bar, type '''about:blank '''and hit Enter.
    Then click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''.
    Make sure it says "'''Show My home page'''" in the drop down menu at the top and then click the button called "'''Use Current Tabs'''".

  • 2 Troubleshooting tips for activation

    I had these 2 problems:
    1. Make sure your old phone is OFF
    2. I had certain blocks on my account (premium messaging and downloading, etc). which prevented my iphone from downloading some needed stuff and registering. Make sure you don't.

    It doesn't address what I needed help with
    When accessing Big Pond Security through Telstra My Account, the computers I had downloaded Big Pond Security to used to be identified by name. Now only told I have downloaded to 4 computers, with 4 icons, but nothing to identify which icon belongs to which computer.Decided to rename the computer I am currently logged into, and reinstall. Do that but then do not have product key.

  • HT201272 How do I remove DRM-protected tracks?  I've purchased iTunes match and followed all of the directions for redownloading and I still can't play some of my tracks on the DJay 2 app.  Please help!  Do I need to purchase these tracks all over again?

    How do I remove the DRM-Protection from tracks so that I can play them on my DJay 2 app.  I've followed the directions for removal and it's not working...
    Will I have to purchase these tracks again?

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group of identical tracks to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. This can happen, for example, if you start iTunes with a disconnected external drive, then connect it, reimport from your media folder, then restart iTunes.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping, whether you do so by hand or using my script, in case something goes wrong.

  • TS2972 having trouble with ring tone and or ring back tones...i followed all directions and cant access ring tone from my play list.

    having trouble with ringtone and ringback tones ..i followed all directions for home sharing.  does anyone have a real solution???

    Hello sairdoor123
    From what I understand the issue seems to be with the hardware, obviously since the phone was dropped that could cause undesired results.
    If all your data is backed up to a computer then I would recommend doing a hard reset: http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887
    If a hard reset is done then I would caution you with the following choices:  ( Should I have the audio circuit repaired as suggested by one of the repair guys? Or would that be risky?) - I would say this is risky because the person repairing the devise could easily sodder the wrong part of the hardware.
    If you really do think repairing the circuit board is more cost effective then I would recommend researching all your possible repair shops before doing any work. Make sure they have the credentials and experiences.
    Hopefully things work out for you.

  • TS5376 Trying to update iTunes to 11.1.4 for Windows has still failed after following detailed directions

    I followed the directions provided by Apple personnel to help resolve this issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376.
    The resulting errors include;
    Runtime Error! Program C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe
    R6034
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.  Please contact the applciations's support team for more informaiton.
    That was followed by: the iTunes warning:

    That was followed by  the Runtime Error message two more times.
    Followed by iTunes was not installed correcdtly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 1114).
    NOTE: before this load attempt I
    Made sure I had Administrator rights

    Manually removed any lingering iTunes files as per the instructions
    Right mouse clicked on the downloaded exe to make sure I was Administrator.
    Nothing seems to work. It was FINE until this new "upgrade". Any suggestions

  • My browser keeps trying to create new tabs on clicks though I've followed the directions to fix the problem, but it only works for a while.

    Things will be working fine...then suddenly I start getting a new tab with every click. I've followed the directions to fix the problem, and usually deleting the mimes.pdf for a full reset works, but I'm getting tired of this. Everything is up to date as far as I can tell, and my virus and malware programs seem to find nothing wrong. I'm getting tired of this...help??

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • HT4527 I am trying to move my library and playlists to a new computer by burning to CD's. However, I followed the directions by going to File and then Library - then they said to go to burn CD(s) - I DO NOT have that option for some reason. How do I do th

    I am trying to move my library and playlists to a new computer by burning to CD's. However, I followed the directions by going to File and then Library - then they said to go to burn CD(s) - I DO NOT have that option for some reason. How do I do this? I have done the library sharing thing but I am getting rid of my primary computer and am afraid I will lose the library.

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    and select the Library that you moved.  That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
    Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.
    Regards
    TD
