I was having problems with shockwave from the start...
attempting to play shockwave games was impossible. It would flicker
and have either missing or added objects. I then attempted to
uninstall then reinstall shockwave. To my dismay after uninstalling
it my computer was determined that it had it which meant that I
still had it and I couldn't reinstall it because it thought it had
completed the installation. I tried installing it in firefox but
the flickering remained in firefox also.
I then used an external mirror of shockwave to install it.
This worked however when trying to view shockwave it had an error
message box saying some of the files were missing. This meant that
my IE would crash everytime a shockwave applet would appear... so I
can't download it from the original source because it crashes
before I can click the install thing.
Thanks for any help that can be given.

  • ICal refuses to work

    After updating to Lion 10.7.5, iCal refuses to work: won't change day/week/month, no previously entered appointments shown, can't add any new ones either. Now what? Of course, I have no backup (didn't think I needed to with iCloud). Aim is 1) to restore function, then 2) populate back from iPod Touch Any help appreciated.

    I'll just address the backup issue, iCloud is NOT a backup system, you still need one.

  • Adobe update refuses to work for CS6 and Photoshop elements. App manager refuses to install.

    Adobe update refuses to work for CS6 and Photoshop elements. App manager refuses to install. Support Advisor is of no help.Anyone had the same problem? It has all worked perfectly for some years now, but refuses this week.Has Adobe changed something.Windows 7.

    What exactly means "refuses"?
    This is the message which comes up if I try to update (from the Help menu) or re-install my licenced copies of CS6 or Photoshop Elements 9.
    “We've encountered the following issues
    Installer failed to initialize.Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem”
    Get Adobe Support Advisor”
    OR
    on trying to open PhotoshopCS6 I get this message:-
    “Adobe Application Manager required to start your trial, is missing or damaged.
    Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager_uk”
    When I follow these instructions and try and start up/install or update Photoshop CS6 I get the same messages all over again. This has been going on since Tuesday afternoon and I am anxiuous to resolve the problem. For several years now all this has worked perfectly through your website and I cannot understand what has changed.  Once I cancel these messages the products themselves seem to function OK. When I attempt to use Adobe Update Manager I get the same messages as above. You will see that my products are properly licensed and up to date. Have you any solution?

  • Shockwave addon stopped working, but addon manager says it is fine, what to do?

    Whenever I am at a website it freezes and error message pops up to say adobe shockwave is not working do I wish to turn it off or wait. This has been going on for several days. I checked the addon manager and it says that the shockwave is fine and recently updated. I pressed update now and nothing happened. I clicked on the shockwave and got lots of information, none of it useful and offers to download more programs, but I didn't want to do that.
    I don't know how to get it working again, and haven't had this problem before.

    Hello,
    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

    Microsoft Word 2008 refuses to work for me after installing the most recent Mavericks update, 10.9.1. It is 2008, yet Excel and Powerpoint work just fine. Help!

    I suggest you do one of two things:

    2. Try the freeware, Libre Office.

  • I restored my ipod touch, and now the touch screen refuses to work

    my ipod touch recently said it needed activation, although I've been using it for 18 months now. When I connected to Itunes, it said it could not read the contents of the Ipod, although it did read the model number and other details. It said to restore it to the factory settings, which I did. after restore, the touch screen refused to work. after 24, it began working, but then said it needed activation again. Hook up to Itunes, same song and dance. It is frozen again. Has anyone else had t

    You should take it to the nearest apple store to let them restore it and activate it. iTunes wouldn't dare restore my ipod touch everytime i tried to restore always an error. So the next day i took it to apple and they fixed it.

  • Thread refuses to work

    Ok, this is the weirdest thing ever happened to me ever since i started working with cellphone programming.
    Lately, one of my thread refuses to activate. I have this thread that communicates with a thermal printer to print something right. Well, i have been working developing the interpretative code for it (since the SDK won't do any good for my needs) for about 4 weeks and been working perfectly. But then i tried to implement it on my application i was working on and it refused to work. Well, i though something was wrong with my code so i went back to my test program and tried to invoke de print thread and now it also refuses to work, but i noticed on the device log (i'm developing on blackberry) a IllegalMonitorStateException was thrown in the wait() method of my thread.
    My thread is running all the time expecting for me to call it to work so it has this structure
    class printThread implements Thread
        private boolean sleep = true;
        printThread(){} // Constructor
        public void run()
             while(sleep)
                 try
                     wait();
                 catch(InterruptedException e){}
                 if(sleep)
                    // Do the work when notifyed
        public void work()
             notify();
    }Thats my basic thread structure, and been working like a charm for ages already (my application has 4 thread running backward, one of it works every 5 minutes in the background) but then i added the print thread and this problem started to appear. then i went back to my test program for the printer and the problem followed me there.
    What might this be causing the problem? I could understand this problem happening in my application with the other 4 threads working there, but on the test program there's only 1 thread!!!

    hm it looks like you lost synchronized keyword while making changes in the code.
    IllegalMonitorStateException is definitely a WYSIWYC (What You See Is What You Coded). I mean, this exception is indeed the correct behavior for the code you posted.
    Consider changing *while(sleep){...}* to something like *synchronized(this){while(sleep){...}}* - that will probably make exception go away, but...
    ... on the test program there's only 1 thread!!!...but given above, after fixing the exception you can get into the next problem - your application will hang.
    You know, it takes two to tango. While one thread waits, there should be another one to notify.
    If there's only one thread waiting, it can wait forever. I won't guarantee that this is your case though because from your explanation it is not clear if there's indeed only one thread.
    I would also recommend you to consider studying Sun's [online tutorial on concurrency|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/]. +"...This lesson introduces the platform's basic concurrency support..."+ - studying it can help fix problems faster than waiting for the answer at the forum. :)

  • Where can I download a Flash/Shockwave player that works with Deer Park in XP x64?

    Where can I download a Flash/Shockwave player that works with
    Deer Park 64bit in Windows XP Pro x64?
    Before some Macromedia employee says, "When there is a retail
    version", Microsoft said that XP Pro x64 is an OEM release that
    anyone can Buy for their AMD64/EM64T PCs only, There will be no
    retail version as there are 32bit PCs out there still and XP Pro
    x64 will not work on a 32bit Compatible PC, Only on a 64bit
    AMD64/EM64T PC and not an Itainium PC either, 64bit or
    otherwise.

  • Volume adjust refuses to work unless FN is pressed

    I didn't start having this problem until a week or so ago. My volume refuses to work unless FN is pressed while f9 or f10 is as well. That or I have to open the function key app and then it will work without the key.
    I have windows 8 and my model is the satellite s855-s5378

    Try checking the UEFI settings for a function key mode setting. Most models have a toggle that allows you to choose wheter you want to have to hold down the FN key to access the "special" keys or hold down the FN key to access the F# keys. Try switching it.

  • Curve 9300 Browser refuses to work?!

    Hi guys!
    Yet another fault with my BlackBerry 9300, the browser refuses to work, I have full 3G coverage and I am connected to my home wifi with an excellent connection, yet my Blackberry just refuses to connect to any websites, all I get is a message saying Unable to connect to server, have had the problem for a few days, tried the usual battery pull, turned of my network coverage and tried running off my wifi and vice versa yet ive had no luck... 
    Would be so grateful if someone had a solution, cos i really dont have the time or the energy to contact my network provider..
    Thanks

    Hi there!
    I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    2) Delete and Resend Service Books
    KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your wireless service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • Messges often refuses to work

    I seem to have this problen all too often as Messages refuses to work. I am trying to send a message to a iOS user and it does not work and I get the red Exlamation point. I have attempted to reboot the Mac, log in and out of iMessage but it does not fix the problem. Perhaps this is a system wide issue on Apples end.

    Hi John,
    I had the iMessages arrive on my iPhone early this morning.   (Thanks Apple).
    The Mac appeared to sync this evening (my time) at 21.08.
    However I have not go the "Are you reading this" that may have been the prompt for the sync.
    As you can see I have yesterday's AIM chat still "open".
    I have not reported it.
    The Status page Apple run says there have been no issues
    http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
    We are currently on British Summer Time which is GMT+ 1 hour if this helps explain what happend at 4.41 BST for me or the sync time this evening.

    Cellular data is a feature from your phone carrier.  Have you contacted them to resolve your issue.

  • Shockwave doesn't work since I upgraded to firefox 6.0 Mac

    I am on Mac OSX 10.5.8 and Firefox upgraded automatically to 6.0. Since then, Adobe Shockwave doesn't work anymore. The error message is: Shockwave is not installed. However, Shockwave works fine with Google Chrome.
    So I guess it's not an Adobe issue but a Firefox issue linked to the version. Is Firefox 6.0 compatible with Mac OSX 10.5.8 ? Can I downgrade to the previous version of Firefox when it was working fine with Shockwave? Thank you.

    ok, there are some which are known to cause slow down, but i don't think those are among them. however please make sure that firefox.exe & plugin-container.exe have access to the internet in the firewall settings and don't get sandboxed in any way.
    here's an article which covers some further troubleshooting steps, if you can pin down the symptom of the slowness: [[Firefox is slow - How to make it faster]]
    you could also uninstall your flash plugin and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrade to flash 10.3] (which is still maintained by adobe), because the current version has performance issues in some situations...

  • Shockwave no longer working

    My phone just got all the updates within the past couple of weeks.  Dowloaded 2.2 with no problems, not quite sure I like it yet, though, and downloaded Adobe flashplayer.  After these downloads, however, certain apps aren't working anymore.  Anything that uses Shockwave is not working, such as Youtube and such apps and sites.  Also Pandora isn't working and neither is I Heart Radio app.
    Any thoughts or similar situations out there?

    Have you tried a battery pull or factory reset?
    Factory resets are not very troublesome anymore, since the new 2.2 will put stuff back in place for you.
