Trouble with Flash CS3 install

Where do I begin with something this weird? I'm on a Windows
XP laptop. I meet the minimum requirements. I downloaded the trail
version of Flash Professional CS3 today. I ran the executable,
which extracted files onto my Desktop. I went into the Adobe CS3
folder it put on my laptop and ran Setup.exe. It seemed to run just
fine, though I wasn't paying close attention to the process. When I
got the done screen, I didn't even look to see if everything had
properly installed; I just assumed it did.
Now while all this was happening, I was browsing the
internet. I'm both careful and paranoid, so I use Mozilla Foxfire
with adblocking, etc. I went to a site I thought I could trust and
something attempted to install a file on my computer, which Firefox
appropriately asked me if I wanted. I said no, but it gave me a bad
feeling (esp. since I never get popups like that anymore), so once
Flash was done installing, I decided to use System Restore to back
up to the day before, just to play it safe.
After running system restore, of course my install of Adobe
Flash was gone (which I expected) so I went ahead and ran the
install file again. This time I wasn't doing anything else, so I
paid attention to the process. The install file ran fine, but when
it got to the part where it asked me which components I wanted to
install, the only component listed was the Flash Player 9 (the
actual Flash Professional program was not listed as an option I
could choose). Still, I checked the Player 9 and continued to see
what would happen. It went to a screen that listed components it
was ready to install, which *included* Flash Professional CS3. So I
clicked okay, it did its thing, and when it finished it said it had
succesfully installed Flash Player 9 but there had been an Error
installing Flash Pro. Indeed, Flash Pro was not on my computer.
Thinking the download might be corrupt, I uninstalled Flash
Player 9 and deleted the file I'd downloaded. I went back to the
Adobe site and downloaded the Flash CS3 trial again. I went through
the same process, with the same results. No Flash Pro, only Flash
Player. I am baffled.

i had the same problem and after countless hours i just
downloaded flash pro 8
its so great
you could just download version 8
sorry its not much help

  • Trouble with Dreamweaver CS3 Install

    Greetings all. I installed Dreamweaver CS3. After this, I had
    a system problem (unrelated) to which I had to do a system restore
    which went back to before Dreamweaver CS3 was installed.
    I now want to install The Web Premium CS3, but the install
    says I can't install Dreamweaver because of a conflict. There is no
    uninstall (in control panel) for Dreamweaver CS3 and there are not
    even any EXE files in it's folders (product of System Restore I am
    guessing?)
    How can I get this uninstalled so I can install the entire
    package?
    Thanks for the help!!

  • Trouble with flash player install

    I get the message that flash player 10 has been installed (no error messages), but it doesn't work and it doesn't show the MB size of the program when you go to add/remove programs.     I have Windows Vista 32 bit, using explorer 8-----have disabled the pop-up blocker.       Any ideas on how to solve the problem?

    I will answer your questions, although you aren't talking to me. I desperately need answers.
    Here are the files in the directory you inquired about:
    Install.log
    Flash10v.ocx
    FlashInstall.log
    FlashUtil10v_ActiveX.dll
    FlashUtilv_ActiveX.exe
    And I'm using IE9 and yes, the Shockwave Flash Object is visible and the add-on is enabled.

  • Why won't Flash CS3 install on my MacPro?

    I've done three clean installs of CS3. Lots of crashing problems with FW CS4 and Bridge CS4, so I thought a fresh start would be helpful. Wrong. I'm NOT on Snow Leopard. MacPro, Intel, 4 gigs RAM. I did have Fireworks CS4 on my Mac, but it's all uninstalled. When I try to install the entire CS3 suite, Flash will not install. When I try to install Flash all by itself, it keeps asking for the Fireworks install CD, over and over, even though FW has been uninstalled. Then, ultimately, Flash doesn't install.
    I tried to run the CS3 cleanup script, but the terminal won't take my password. I ran the CS4 cleanup script after I uninstalled FW, but it said there was nothing to clean up.
    Please, can anyone help? I've spent SEVERAL hours on this. Even repaired permissions. I want to scream.

    I had a scratched disk.
    I did two things: I bought a disk repair contraption at Best Buy. Worked awesomely. Then I copied the file onto my hard drive and ran it from there.
    This was NOT a seamless process, and I can't even remember everything I did to make it work (oh, and I had copied and pasted Fireworks CS4 to my desktop from my install CD, too, because it stopped recognizing my brand new license, and Flash CS3 required this FW CS4 file to be in the same location from which I installed it in order to make Flash CS3 install), but I FINALLY got it to work, after working on it for 6 hours, going to bed at 3am, getting up at 7:30am, and working on it for another 11 hours, including two phone calls for a total of two hours to Adobe's stellar support in Pah-kee-stahn, wherein I was given the wrong information from 3 technicians who, granted, *really* tried to help, but who couldn't even agree with each other on the fix - "Customer service will give you a link to stand-alone versions of Acrobat 8 and Flash CS3 that you can activate with your serial number," "No we can't. We'll have to send you a link to the whole suite." Except the link to the download wouldn't work when they checked it on their end, so they couldn't send it to me, and they would have someone call me back in 24-48 hours, then 2-3 hours (after I pitched a fit because I have to work - no work, no pay) - they didn't call me back. It's been over 24 hours, it's been over 2-3 hours.
    And even so, it won't reinstall Acrobat because it says it's already been installed, even though I can't find it anywhere on my system - not in my applications folder, not in my emptied trash, not my various folders in the user library, not in the root library, not in the system library - nowhere. But it's there. In a ghost area of my system, apparently. So I had to buy Acrobat 9 just so I could work. Academic Superstore. Academic discount - NEVER stop learning! Even if you're 51.
    I feel incredibly hostile toward Adobe. But their software is my bread-and-butter. I use almost all of it on a daily basis. It's going to be a long, long time before I trust Adobe with my money. CS4 Master Collection, that I was salivating over, that I was planning to save up for? I don't think so. CS5? Unlikely, until I have no other choice.
    I would rather wait longer and get software that doesn't eat into my productivity with bugs and crashes.
    That's okay. I've been venting away about this on Twitter and Facebook and LinkedIn and a web development group I'm on. I can warn others. Funny thing is, I'm getting so many responses from people going through nightmares of their own with CS4. Only a handful of people respond with, "I don't know what you're talking about! My CS4 has run flawlessly!" Only a handful. So sad.

  • Having trouble with Flash Player in regards to youtube

    Hello,
    Recently I started having trouble with Flash Player in regards to using it with youtube. Sometimes all I see is a blank white screen and sometimes I do see the video with no surrounding youtube webpage or suggested videos etc. Nothing has changed on my computer as far as I know except the usual updates etc. I have tried uninstalling Flash Player and reinstalling with no luck. I even tried an older version. I am running windows XP and IE and have McAfee for my anti-virus. I am not the most computer savy person in the world and could sure use some help.
    Thanks,
    Ron

    Hitomi,
    Thanks for the links. I am pretty sure it is not a problem with Flash Player itself but something else that is causing this. I don't know how to do a "screen shot", but even if I did I don't know that it would do anygood to show that because the youtube video screen and surrounding webpage only show for a second and then it goes totally white.
    Pat,
    Here is what I found:
    Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family
    Driver Provider          Intel corporation
    Driver Date               6/8/2005
    Driver Version          6.14.10.4332
    Digital Signer               Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatability Publis
    Update:
    This morning after doing some further reading and research on the Internet I tried running youtube in the  "InPrivate Browsing" window and youtube worked fine. So thinking I should delete my Internet Browing History, Cache, and Cookies, based on what I read I went ahead and did that but it still doesn't want to work. I think I did the deletions correctly? As I mentioned above I am not very computer savvy but can get by on the basics. Where should I go from here based on this info?
    Thanks,
    Ron

  • Anyone else having trouble with flash player over working the processor since the security update?

    Hi everyone-
    Since the last security update (flash player version 11.7.700.169) I have been having trouble with flash player beating the daylights out of my processor. My OS is Windows XP. This only happens on some sites, not all. For example netflix and amazon are fine, but acorn and huffington post videos send the processor into overdrive. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance :-)

    I have XP on some machines, and I do not experience any such problems with 11.7.700.179.  If I were, I would try two things
    update the graphics drivers; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765
    update to the latest Flash Player beta, or wait until the new version is released later this week

  • Anyone have trouble with IPad3 after installing OS6.1.3?  keeps crashing

    Anyone having trouble with iPad3 after installing OS6.1.3?  Mine keeps crashing.

    Mine seems to be just fine. 
    Try a reset,
    Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad  will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

    Gotcha. You must have started the document in AS2, then
    changed the
    publish settings. Each version of the language has its own
    version of the
    FLVPlayback Component (written in the relevant language).
    Start over and
    compare two compleley new FLA documents: make one for AS3 and
    one for AS2.
    Open the Components panel and note the differences between
    the two. There
    are a different set of Components depending on the language
    chosen for the
    document. Drag the FLVPlayback Component from the Components
    panel in an
    AS3 document, and you'll have the AS3 version.

  • HT4623 Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update?

    Anyone having trouble with App Store install and cloud store buttons not working after 6.1 update? I go to install an app. I hit install and nothing happens. About a minute later it asks me for my password and then it does nothing. The install button goes back to saying install. However the app shows up in my installed list and in cloud but no app installed.

    OK - I found a helpful post - closed app store app and under Settings/General/Date and Time I reset the date and time by switching off "Set Automatically" and then switching it on again. Went back to App Store, launched it and Updatesseems to be working again.
    Go figure? Logical, No!

  • Using Vcam with Flash CS3

    I installed the adobe vcam extension in my Flash CS3 (Mac)

    Can anyone please tell me how the crosshairs of the vcam

    thank you for the help

    Oh, OK, you likely have a file with a .dmg extension on it? You need to double-click that - it will mount on your Desktop looking like an external drive. Then you need to double-click the Install Flash Player app.
    This should actually install Flash Player and, after you restart Safari, your'll be able to watch video.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
