Why has installing Flash Player 11 Beta 64-bit affected downloading of "pdf" documents??

I recently installed Flash Player 11 Beta 64-bit, and Active-x for Windows 64-bit – for Internet Explorer only.
The downloading of xxx.pdf documents was immediately affected.  The downloading was “garbage” into a Microsoft Word document with the suffix .pdf.  Help!
Op System:  Vista; Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 64 bit version

Our installer would not have any affect on how pdf files are registered in the system  The best think to do is make sure the default program association with pdf files is Acrobat Reader.  IE should pick up on those settings.

  • Cannot install Flash Player - says I need to download missing plugin

    Firefox 3.6.10
    Windows XP, SP 3, 32 bit
    I always have to uninstall my current flash player before installing a new version.  So I uninstalled, but when I try to install the new version, I get a message at the top that I need to install a missing plugin.  All I get when I go there is GP.XPI downloaded which does nothing at all.  What do I need to do?  Thanks for any help!!

    GP (GetPlus) is the Adobe download manager.  Download the Flash Player installer directly from http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe (for Firefox) and you will not need any DLM.

  • How to detect IE is 64 bit when try to install flash player

    Hi Experts,
    Since there is no 64 bit flash player, I want to detect the IE version first before install flash player, a mesage would be shown if try to install flash player in 64 bit IE.
    I tried to use navigator.platform to check the IE version, but it doesn't always work.
    I found input http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash/ into IE, it would redirect into two different pages according to the IE is 32 bit or 64 bit.
    I don't know how to implment this
    Any suggestion is very appreciated.

  • Installing Flash player fails AGAIN on Win 7

    Recently I had discussed here a problem with installing Flash Player on 32-Bit Windows 7, which was solved by help in this forum.
    Now I had a similar problem with 64-Bit Windows 7 with Flash Player for Mozilla. Installation just said that it failed, without giving further explanation.
    Following the advice I got in http://forums.adobe.com/message/3919367#3919367, I downloaded an installer explicitly from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/.
    This website redirected me to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/, from where I downloaded http://aihdownload.adobe.com/bin/install_flashplayer11x64_mssd_aih.exe.
    Running this program went on for about 20 minutes, and finally resulted in the error message: "Installation encountered errors: Actionlist not found".
    What else can I do to install flash player?

    That is not a direct download link; it's a download helper stub.  In fact this is an old Flash Player link that is not even working any more.  I have no idea why you would want to post this in a more than two years old topic...

  • Flash Player 11 64-bit for Windows with 32-bit Debugger Keeps Crashing

    Hi,
    I have been battling with this crashes since Flash Player 11 came out. I have a 64-bit Windows machine and installed Flash Player 11+ 64-bit with 32-bit debugger. Every time a run my application it crashes. Even YouTube crashes also. If I don't install the debugger everything works fine (but then I can't debug my application). I tested it in Firefox, Chrome and IE and all of them crash.
    I am contented with FP 10.+ for now (until Adobe come up with a solution)  because it works for me including the debugger but I have an issue with my application that only occurs in Flash Player 11.
    If anyone else knows a fix or how to get around this, please share. Thanks so much.

    i have the same problem and also the uninstaller tells there is an error but no information is available.

  • I can't install flash player on my mac

    Operating system: OS X 10.5.8
    Processor: 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Browser: Safari 5.0.6 (have also tried on latest version of firefox)
    I have tried so many times to install flash player and each time the download stope (usually at 0%) and doesn't give a reason. I was looking through other threads and I have found that my flash player plugin is in the Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled) folder but I've no idea how to enable it again. Plug ins are enabled under preferences. Could this be the problem? Thanks.

    Hello Chris,
    I have the same issue, but I've tried all the options you suggested and is not working either.
    this is what I get when trying to install it, the option you mention before "

    2. Right click on the "Install Adobe Flash Player" icon and select "Show Package Contents".
    3. Navigate into the /Contents/Resources/ folder and double click the Adobe Flash Player.pkg file. "
    is not coming up :/

  • Why does Flash/Flex Builder 4 Premium downgrade to Standard when I install Flash Player Debug?

    Why does Flash/Flex Builder 4 Premium downgrade to Standard when I install Flash Player Debug?
    I installed a corporate install of Flex/Flash Builder 4 Premium, and verified that it was the Premium version was installed.  The Start Page said that Flash Player was needed to display the text, so I installed Flash Player 10 Debug -- first download link from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    When I then started Flex Builder 4, the splash screen showed Premium, but as soon as the Start Page was visible, it showed "FB Adobe Flash Builder 4 Standard" --- Help | About showed Standard, and the splash screen from then on showed Standard.
    A Google search showed a work around for this, but it requires a license for Premium, which I don't have because our corporate install has it built-in:
    http://bloginblack.de/2010/05/adobe-master-collection-cs5-breaks-flash-builder-4-premium-a nd-how-to-fix-it/
    1. Anyone know how to resolve this?
    2. Can Adobe fix this?
    Thanks!

    I had similar problem. I was involved in Flash Builder prerelease program and few months later I installed Adobe CS5 Master Collection. After that I had a same situation.  Best thing was, my Flash Builder Beta was Premium version but acted like Standard, and FB from CS5 was Standard but acted like Premium. I removed CS5 and beta version of CS5. used CS5 Cleaning Fix and then reinstalled my apps.
    I was lucky that I didn't have many big projects involved in FB beta or CS5 workspaces, I heard some guys had problems with migrated workspace configurations but I don't know what was the problem.

  • How can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop

    how can i install flash player for window 8.1(64 bit) on my laptop?

    For Internet Explorer, you don't. Microsoft has already done it.
    For Firefox, Opera or Safari, use the Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    For Chrome, you don't need to wither because Google puts it in the browser.

  • Why won't Flash player install on my windows vista?

    After downloading and installing Flash player several times on my computer the installation fails in spite of the message reading that it has successfully installed. As a result I am unable to view videos from my favorite photo sites. Using internet explorer on a 64 bit system.

    Download the following files by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"
    Flash Player Uninstaller
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Save ALL files to your Downloads folder - DO NOT RUN anything yet.
    Reboot your system.
    BEFORE opening anything else, go to your Downloads folder and run the UNINSTALLER to remove all instances of Flash Player.
    Next, run the ActiveX Installer.
    Once Flash Player is installed go to: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#sp
    Download BOTH files, the one on the right FIRST by right clicking and selecting "Save target as"... the other by clicking and following the steps to download the FULL ActiveX installer.
    Once everything is installed, see:Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer  and: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer  to make 100% sure that Flash Player is enabled and NOT being blocked by ActiveX controls.
    I have a Vista Utlimate 64 bit system and it worked for me the way I described here.

    Thanks Mike,
    I followed your instructions and I created a new administrator account in Windows7.
    From this new administrator account properly installed Flash Player and it works. 
    As for the old administrator account does not work, I have to check that may be happening in Windows 7.
    Thank you very much for helping me to find the problem.

  • Why do I keep getting a notice to install Flash Player.  I have done it 3 times now.

    Why do I keep getting notifications to install Flash Player.  I have installed it 3 times now.

    You are getting notifications to install Flash Player due to the fact that it is out of date. Unfortunately, Adobe has discontinued Flash Player since version 10.1 for PowerPC Macs. However that will not stop you from taking advantage of Flash on Facebook and other sites like YouTube.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3599648
    Follow that link down to the post by Texas Mac Man. Download the attached file and follow the instructions. You will then be able to use Facebook and YouTube fully. It is still Flash 10.1 but it will show to your Mac as 11.
    I hope this will be able to help you.

  • "Why can't I install Flash Player on my Tablet?" (Kindle or Samsung Galaxy)

    Your tablet (Kindle or Galaxy) uses the Android Operating System.
    Adobe stopped ALL development of Flash for Android last year. (July 2012) That includes Kindle as well as Samsung Tablets. Additionally, Samsung and Amazon have ended support for Flash in ALL of their newest tablet models.
    The following is from Samsung Support (07/31/2013):
    "Beginning August 15, 2012 we will use the configuration settings in the Google Play Store to limit continued access to Flash Player updates to only those devices that have Flash Player already installed. Devices that do not have Flash Player already installed are increasingly likely to be incompatible with Flash Player and will no longer be able to install it from the Google Play Store after August 15th, 2012."
    And from Kindle Support (07/31/2013):
    "The Amazon Silk web browser on Kindle Fire 1st Generation supports some, but not all, versions of Flash. Adobe Flash is pre-installed on a 1st Generation Kindle Fire and is disabled by default.
    If you see a message to install Flash while using your Kindle Fire, this means that the content you're attempting to view uses Flash. If you want to view the content, you'll need to enable Flash through the Silk settings menu.
    If a web page suffers from slow performance due to Flash, or you're unable to view a web page with Flash enabled, we recommend switching to mobile view when browsing a Flash-heavy website to see if that solves your problem:
    Some popular websites may also have an app available. Check Amazon Appstore, accessible through the Apps library on your Kindle Fire, for availability.
    The Amazon Silk web browser on Kindle Fire 2nd Generation, Kindle Fire HD 7", and Kindle Fire HD 8.9" doesn't support Flash.
    Some sites use alternative web technologies to Flash in their mobile versions. We recommend switching to mobile view when browsing a website with Flash content to see if that solves your problem:
    Some popular websites may also have an app available. Check Amazon Appstore, accessible through the Apps or Games library on your Kindle Fire, for availability."
    See: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
    There are older versions of Flash Player (for Android) at that link, but there are no guarantees any of them will work.
    See also: "How do I manually install Flash Player on my Android device?"
    You can find info about "Dolphin" for Android at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser It seems to be the browser of choice to play Flash content on an Android device.
    Also, check the Android forums to see what their "gurus" recommend.

    Hello,
    Flash Player is not supported on mobile devices, and has never been supported on Windows phone.  I am not aware of alternative option for Windows phone users.

  • Attempting to INSTALL Flash Player 17, on WIndows 7, Firefox 36.0.1-why did I never used to have a problem?

    I am using Windows 7, Firefox 36.0.1, and attempting to INSTALL Flash Player 17. I never had problems until about a year ago, the way the installation & set up was so easy...now, I fight with it for days every month when a new update is ready. There used to be 2-3 easy steps to follow; now I click to download, watch the diagram until it finishes, find the icon on my desktop, and click it again (presumbly to download & install), and it disappears. I do not know where or how to see it; a few minutes later I go to my Firefox Plug in Check page...and it shows that it still is not update! So I go through the whole friggan process again...WHY????

    Hello,
    Please do the following:
    Download the uninstaller, Uninstall Flash Player | Windows
    Download the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page in the 'Still having problems' section
    Run the uninstaller
    Reboot your system
    Run the installer
    After installation completes, go to Flash Player Help and click on the 'Check Now' button.  The results should indicate that you have the latest version, 17.0.0.134, installed.
