What's wrong with FlashPlayer 13, or is it Firefox? Windows 7? Is it FP 13 itself? Are Shockwave & FP the same thing?

I am running an Acer Aspire laptop, 1.9Ghz Intel Celeron CPU, Windows 7, 64 bit, and 99% of the time, Firefox 29.0.1. RARELY, do I use IE. I am not very tech savvy at all, but I have attempted many different solutions, given to me from inquiries to several varying forum members with no luck. There are no extensions at my add-on page that have anything to do with FlashPlayer OR Adobe. I used a file path that someone sent to me, found an older version of Flash, right-clicked and deleted it. It was in my recycle bin, and on the advice of my wife, (who is much better with PC's than I)was going to uninstall this older version. I hadn't checked it in a day or two, but went to my recycle bin a few minutes ago, and somehow, it's disappeared. ??? There is something else. It is strange TO ME, but may not be to others. I took the same file path, ( C: Windows/ SysWOW64/ Macromed/ Flash ) that someone on a forum gave me to see my Flash version, except this time, instead of opening "Macromed", I opened "Adobe", and there is a file there that reads "Shockwave 12". ???  The same person that told me this file path, also said that a NPSWF32_13_0_0_214.dll file was the MOST IMPORTANT file in the FlashPlayer 13 folder, and as long as it was there, everything was OK with my updated Flash version. There IS NO SUCH FILE in the "Adobe / Shockwave 12" folder. The files in this folder, I, of course, do not recognize, but for the sake of this discussion, ( question ), there are 10 or so .dll files, 4 or 5 Application files, ( the .dll's are Application extensions ), one DCR file,(???), and a file folder named Xtras, that, when opened, shows (6) X32 files, and a text document named "autodownload". I AM SO VERY SORRY for this extremely long rant. It is a long, ongoing story. FP 13 won't playback 90% of the video I try while I am online.

I think you made a mess by deleting things from the install folders.  I suggest that you perform a clean install of both Flash Player and Shockwave Player.
download the Flash Player uninstaller from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html and save it to disk
download the Flash Player installers and save them to disk
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
download the Shockwave Player uninstaller http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/uninstall/win/sw_uninstaller.exe and save it to disk
download the Shockwave Player installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/default/english/win95nt/latest/Shockwave_In staller_Full.exe and save it to disk
close all browser windows, then run the downloaded uninstallers, followed by the installers

  • What's wrong with my trackpad? It was working fine, then I installed Lion 10.8.1 and now the mac mini won't see it, when I press the on button, a light comes on after a brief pause, stays on for a second or so, and then goes off, still no trackpad..

    Ok, so if you haven't worked it out, this is my first post. My problem is all in the title, but once more won't hurt..
    I have a bluetooth trackpad which has been attached to my mac mini for a few months now, with only the occasional connection lost, connection found saga that everyone seems to go through. Earlier today, I used the trackpad to upgrade to OSX 10.8.1 nd when the computer rebooted, no trackpad could be found. I've put fresh batteries in, I've tried rebooting the mac mini, I've checked sys preferences and am currently using an old usb keyboard which is v flimsy so forgive any typos please.
    The light comes on about a second after the on button is pressed, (whether the button is held down or not) and then goes off after a second, still no trackpad is found..
    Why?!!!!

    No, not paired to anything else, fresh out the box connected to the mac mini I bought at the same time, never been paired with anything else.
    I think it's a hardware issue. As I don't seem to be able to get it to turn off.

    What can I do if my key board will let me type my password yet will not allow me to type anywhere else.? I've tried both my wireless and my one with a cord.

    Hi Jenny, it's not quite clear what you're seeing.
    Is this at login, then it goes to loading the desktop & such, & then is unresponsive, or what exactly?

  • Whenever I right click on an image on a web page and select 'Save image as...', the filename always ends with '.jpg.jpeg' instead of '.jpg'. How do I stop Firefox doing this? It doesn't happen when I try the same thing with Internet Explorer

    It hasn't done this since I first installed Firefox, only the last month or so.
    I've tried running in Firefox safe mode with all extensions disabled but this makes no difference.
    I've also found the following article:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
    ...that suggests reseting the '''browser.download.pluginOverrideTypes''' & '''plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types''' entries in about:config but I don't have these entries so can't reset them

    In that case you may need to look in the Windows registry with the registry editor (regedit.exe) to see if the problem is there.<br />

    For starters, an insert select does not have a values clause.

    ...and why are you doing a UNION on the exact same two queries?
    (SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS') ,HH_SWITCHPORT ,HH_SCRIPT ,'N' FROM tmp_healthhit_load WHERE HH_SCRIPT !='BROCHURE' UNION SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS') ,HH_SWITCHPORT ,HH_SCRIPT ,'N' FROM tmp_healthhit_load WHERE HH_SCRIPT !='BROCHURE');

    Hi,
    thank you for your answer, but the problem is, if I deleted "values" as you pointed out, and then execute it again, I got error like "ERROR at line 3:
    ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel", and I was then disconnected with server, I have to relogin SQLplus, and do everything from beganing.
    so what 's wrong caused disconnection, I can't find any triggers related. it is so wired?
    I wonder if anyone can help me about this.
    thank you very much

    Hi,
    acturlly what I do is debugging a previous developer's scipt for data loading, this script was called by Cron work, but it never can be successfully executed.
    I think he use union for eliminating duplications of rows, I just guess.

    Scratch the VALUES keyword then make sure that the select list matches the column list in number and type.
    1 insert into marktest
    2 (fld1, fld2, fld3, fld4, fld5)
    3* select * from marktest

    but when I execute it, I still can get error like:

    so wired, do you have any ideas?

    And this one,
    Aother question about SQL?
    I thought I already told him to deal with

    There's nothing wrong (syntax wise) with the query. (of course when no "value" in the insert)

  • My iphone consumed  10GB data this what's wrong with my VPN kindly guide suitably moreover battery drain fast

    My iphone 5s consumed  10GB data this what's wrong with my VPN kindly guide suitably moreover battery drain fast

    The long backups seem to be related to the size of the apps you installed, not the number. That's why some people with multiple pages of apps experience fast backups. There does seem to be a bug with the current firmware that can cause a crash when doing app uploads and syncs. This bug seems to be exacerbated by having large and many apps.
    I was experiencing frequent crashes, but have no more - even with 70 apps installed - some of them large like the American Heritage Dictionary which is several hundred megabytes. I did the following:
    1. I set iTunes to NOT do autosyncs every time I plug in. This setting is in the Itunes preferences.
    2. I disabled the autobackups in iTunes for the iphone. I figured that if it did crash and it was going to take 2 hours to restore, why not just reload. The instructions are readily found using google search; it involves a command line setting. Anyway, the phone doesn't crash anymore since doing this.
    3. I no longer install apps using the iPhone. I first install the app in iTunes and the I manually sync it to the iphone. I avoid doing multiple installs at once; at least for the large apps. Right click on each app and get its info from within itunes. If it is large, it is going to take time to backup.
    4. I always first shut off the iphone and restart it before installing any apps in itunes. This clears any memory issues left behind from use.
    I am going to continue to do these procedures until Apple releases a fix for the bugs relating to the apps.
    As noted, since I took these steps, I have had no crashes. I was crashing at least once every 1-2 days before with the same or less number of apps. I too was a first gen iPhone user and was very frustrated with the 3G experience. Since doing the above, I am once again a very happy and productive iPhone 3G user. I know its a pain to do this, but the bugs will get fixed at some point. I would never go back to my old phones - they were just phones.

  • What's wrong with this program?

    /* Daphne invests $100 at 10% simple interest. Deirdre invests $100 at 5% interest compounded annually. Write a program that finds how many years it takes for the value of Deirdre's investment to exceed the value of Daphne's investment. Aso show the two values at that time.*/
    #include <stdio.h>
    #define START 100.00
    int main(void)
    int counter = 1;
    float daphne = START;
    float deirdre = START;
    printf("Daphne invests $100 at 10 percent simple interest. Deirdre invests $100 at 5 percent interest compounded annually.
    When will Deirdre's account value exceed Daphne's?
    Let\'s find out.
    while (daphne > deirdre)
    daphne += 10.00;
    deirdre *= 1.05;
    printf("%f %f

    John hadn't responded at the time I started typing this, but I'll keep it posted anyways in order to expand on John's answer a little bit. The answer to your last question is that the loop's condition has to return true for it to run the first time around. To examine this further, let's take a look at the way you had the while loop before:
    while (daphne > deirdre)
    Now, a while loop will run the code between its braces as long as the condition inside the parenthesis (daphne > deirdre, in this case) is true. So, if the condition is false the first time the code reaches the while statement, then the loop will never run at all (it won't even run through it once -- it will skip over it). And since, before the while loop, both variables (daphne and dierdre) are set equal to the same value (START (100.00), in this case), both variables are equal at the point when the code first reaches the while statement. Since they are equal, daphne is NOT greater than dierdre, and therefore the condition returns false. Since the condition is false the first time the code reaches it, the code inside the loop's braces is skipped over and never run. As John recommended in the previous post, changing it to this:
    while (daphne >= deirdre)
    fixes the problem because now the condition is true. The use of the "greater than or equal to" operator (>=) instead of the "great than" operator (>) means that the condition can now be returned true even if daphne is equal to deirdre, not just if it's greater than deirdre. And since daphne and deirdre are equal (they are both 100.00) when the code first reaches the while loop, the condition is now returned true and the code inside the loop's braces will be run. Once the program reaches the end of the code inside the loop's braces, it will check to see if the condition is still true and, if it is, it will run the loop's code again (and again and again and again, checking to see if the condition is still true each time), and if it's not true, it will skip over the loop's bottom brace and continue on with the rest of the program.
    Hope this helped clear this up for you. Please ask if you have any more questions.

  • What's wrong with these code?

    Hi, i made the below snippet of code for retriving data from a table in database. but it doesnt work property when i run the program. Could anyone tell me what's wrong with it? Thanx in advance.
    //rs is object of type ResultSet
    //url is one of the column names in a table
    <% if(rs.getString("url")!= null){%>
       <tr>
          <td>URL </td>
          <td>= { <%= rs.getString("url") %> },</td>   
      </tr>
    <%}%>

    Without seeing the error message, one can only guess. Some JDBC drivers do not allow you to get a column more than once, so that may be your problem. Store the result of rs.getString("url") in a String variable in the first line, and use that variable in the table cell.

  • What is wrong with this subscription?

    Hi,
    I have read most of the posts about subscription here and still I can't find a satisfactory answer...
    Here is my problem:
    I've got a 150mins Dominican Republic landlines subscription, which I purchased on the 9 Dec 2010 for a year. During that period (until now) I have never been able to tell when my minutes will restart... the process seems to be random and frankly quite arbitrary. The same subscription was renewed on the 9 Dec 2011 (I've already got a payment receipt for it!), however it is Dec 12 and still I've got no signs of my minutes. What is wrong with your system of subscriptions? How can I work out when each month I'll receive the minutes from the subscription? Why the minutes can not simply be reloaded at the same day each month?
    I am looking forward to your assistance.
    Regards.

    I'll gladly explain the minutes reset.
    Limited subscriptions are reset based on initial purchase date and time.
    Here's how you can find out the exact date and time
    1) Open your order history by clicking on this link
    2) Locate the first subscription payment (not recurring payment)
    3) Click on order ID
    (You should see something like this)
    This means that subscription minutes are reset every month on the 12th 17:47 GMT
    GMT time: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/
    I hope this clarified the subscription reset.
    Note: If subscription was not reset as expected then please contact customer service:

  • Opinion on what's wrong with my hand set.

    Good afternoon,
    I am currently using a blackberry curve 8520. I woke up this morning to find out that the scene was blank but the light on the top was still flashing, I plugged in the charger thinking the battery was low but to my surprise the screen came on but when I unplugged the charger it went blank again. I did a battery pull and the replace the battery and I can see the blackberry sign that the phone is booting, once that was completed the phone goes blank but the light is still flashing which indicates that the phone is on. I have even tried calling using a different handset but the phone wont  allow me to select answer. I am now lost has I can her SMS and BBM messenges coming in but can retrieve them as the wont allow me . I know it is on.
    Could you please help me? I think it need a new battery but don't understand why I wont allow me to retrieve messages or calls..
    Patiently awaiting your response.
    Devoted customer.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
    You could also attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
    If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.
