Why can't I download Shockwave 11 on Windows 2000

I have a Windows 7 but I'm trying to update some plugins that keep popping up on every page that loads on my mom's computer saying it needs updating. (The computer only runs slow when it pops up which drives me crazy) She has a Windows 2000 and Shockwave has to be updated to Shockwave11 (she has 10.1 ). I tried to install it but when i do I get an error message that says
"Adobe Shockwave Player is unsuported on Microsoft Windows 2000. Adobe Systems Inc does not verify the behavior of Adobe Shockwave Player on this platform. Please see the technote http://www.adobe.com/go/kb40332 for more information"
Then it asks if i wish to continue and another error pops up and basically I have to abort the installation. Adobe says that Shockwave 11 can be installed on Windows 2000 but I would have to install "Microsoft GDI+library" for it to let me install it. I installed them and I still get the same message. What do I do???

I remember getting the same message when I still had Windows 2000 a few years ago.  Continuing from that message always installed Shockwave Player 11 successfully.
What was the 2nd error you were getting?

  • Why can't i download itunes to windows 8.1

    I just purchased a computer with Windows 8.1. Every time I attempt to download Apple I Tunes, it says that download is complete, but it is no where to be found on my computer. I had Windows XP and all of my tunes are on that computer. I want to transfer/reload them onto this new one. Please help!

    There is some anecdotal evidence that the scripts on the Apple site that are supposed to detect the version of Windows you are running may fail for some users - jumping straight to the "Thank you for downloading ..." page with the installer not having been downloaded.  As an alternative, you can go directly to the relevant downloads - like the previous 12.1.0.77 release, there are three different installers available, with direct links to these as follows:
    iTunes 12.1.1.4 (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.1.4  (64-bit) - itunes6464setup.exe
    iTunes 12.1.1.4  (64-bit "for older video cards") - iTunes64Setup.exe
    The third of these - which is actually the 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer - should be used if you get a warning about video card incompatibility when you install the standard 64-bit version.  Based on evidence of the previous release, this may also be an appropriate alternative if you have playback issues or crashes with the standard 64-bit version.  In the case of playback issues, you should check the following before trying the "for older video cards" version:
    Varying the Play Audio Using settings under Edit > Preferences > Playback (you need to restart iTunes for changes to take effect).  Setting this to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session" has been reported to address some playback issues (though some users have stated the reverse to be the case - this may vary with specific audio hardware/drivers)
    Verify that you have the latest version (7.7.6) of QuickTime installed - some users have found that absence of QuickTime, or an out-of-date version can result in complete lack of audio output, particularly (though not exclusively) with Bluetooth audio devices.
    See turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for more details if you're still having problems with installation.

  • Why can't I download itunes to my windows 7 computer

    Why can't Idowload itunes to my windows 7computer?

    Now I want to download the iTunesSetup.exe file, I only get the thank you page. On some occasions I get the 'save' button window (very seldom it goes to where I can select where I want to DL the file to) but overal, nothing happens. No download starts.
    With that one, try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
    If you can't get a working installer via the standard download links, try the following download links instead:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe

  • Why can I not download any apps to my Itouch Gen 2?

    Why can I not download any apps to my Itouch Gen 2?
    SO, I just purchased 2 4th gen ITouch’s and a 2nd gen Ipad for my kids. All is well and fine however my second gen device is toast so I am using one of my kids older 2 gen ITouch. My kids had been complaining that they could not download anything on the 2nd gen devices but I figured they were doing something wrong, my bad. The device has Netflix that works just fine but I am finding that if I were to delete the app and did not have it backed up I would not be able to get it back from the appstore. The device has been taken care of and is in good working order,  but I am finding that Apple has chosen to no longer support IOS4.2.1 which I get. However I would expect that at a minimum I would be able to download any app that was available for the 4.2.1 os at the time the next version was released.
    Drive space it cheap and ****** off customers are expensive.
    Apparently Apple has planned obsolescence built into their business plan which I am finding pretty hard to swallow.
    I just purchased over a grand worth of new devices and I am wondering if that was wise since apparently apple will deem them obsolete in a couple of years. That great because the newer devises are great, however I have a devise that there is nothing wrong with and apple has made the choice to no longer support the devise and not allow applicable software downloads making the devise basically useless. This is not supporting your customers!
    I would hope that Apple changes their posture on this planned Obsolescence and backs its products durability with the ability to get applicable apps for the actual lifetime of the devise and not some 2 year window.
    I brought my concerns to the nearest apple store where they gave me some song and dance about how the older devise was not fast enough. This is probably true for the newer apps but I think if this was a limitation then ITunes should make the newest version of the app at the time of the app is available for the devise.
    Like I said drive space is cheap and this is like a row in some database.
    I am wondering if I will continue to buy apple products.

    If it really is only your email, that is not valid, reset your primary email address at  https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    If that does not work, because of a forgotten password or security questions, or because your account has been disabled for security purposes, you need to give Apple Support a call - only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone numbers given or an email form:

    Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.
