Why two flash players?

There appear to be two versions of:
Adobe Flash Player
One for Internet Explorer
and another for other browsers
Since I use both IE and Chrome should I install both?
Anyway why does IE need a separate Flash Player?
I dual boot Win7 and XP.

The 64-bit installer will install both 32-bit and 64-bit Flash Players.
Regarding dual booting: it is achieved easily when the operating systems are installed in sequence: older Windows version first, newer version second.
The boot manager up to Windows XP is completely different from the boot manager used in Windows 7 and Vista.

    Why I can't play videos? Any free flash players for 3rd gen ipad?

    I have read that there are some, but I have not used any. Search the app store to see what might work.

  • I tried two dvd players,one freezes still,the other ok,Why?

    I made a dvd with photshop/premiere 7.All still pictures with some music.I tried the dvd on two sony players.One works great.The other will freeze frame at same still.Why?

    Ok... some thoughts
    Since you ask in the Encore forum, I will presume you created the DVD with Encore... which does, by design, create "legal" discs that are "supposed" to play
    But... as I said, no player is required to work with a burned disc
    Go to http://www.imgburn.com/ and scroll down to the link for the FREE version, now at 2.5
    Tell Encore to create an ISO on your hard drive and use Imgburn to burn to disk... at the SLOWEST setting possible
    As far as the 2 Sony models... I can only GUESS that the newer model has more built-in DRM "crapware" that is getting in the way of playing a burned disc

  • Why do we have to go through flash players to download DE?

    Okay So after my acrobat reader 8 digital editions fail with an error message, I have to delete everything and just to be on the safe side, reinstall with a acrobat reader 7
    After getting countless error messages "failing to autenticate" when i try to download the flash player 9, i have to resort to downloading the archived flash player version 8.
    Then when i get into digital editions page and through the flash player download the digital editions, i get the message "download error"?
    What kind of crappy service are you guys running here?
    Do you idiots ever have the basic intelligence to at least make sure that one can at least download the digital editions without going through the flash players?

    I am having the same issue. I purchased an ebook knowing I had adobe on my computer. The book needs the digital edition to run and for some unknown to me reason flash doesn't work on my internet explorer and I've tried on netscape where flash works but the download stalls and I don't know if its actually doing anything or not. No security warnings pop up or anything. I've been trying for hours to get it to work...and now thinking I wasted the money on my book. I run vista on a new computer and cannot download the Digital Edition and no clue how to make it work. Is there a way to download it manually onto my desktop where I can install it from there?? skipping flash and java and all that stuff totally? I've been looking and haven'tt found it.
    Thanks.

  • Flash Players Crash Due Losing Connection To The Internet Server , Why is that Happening ?

    I have been trying to install these Flash Players ,but at the end of the downloading mode it loses connection to the Internet Server and crashes the install . It is very frustrating and I am giving up . Adobe Reader does the same thing , what is there to do ?  I have Windows 8 , the Internet Explorer and Chrome . Still nothing works at all .  If nothing gets straighten out here with this Flash Player and Adobe Reader by the end of the Holidays then I am going to take my computer and have it cleaned out .  Because I've had it with Flash Players and I am tired of it all .

    Download the Adobe Flash Player FULL offline installer directly by clicking one of the following links.
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Download the Adobe Reader FULL offline installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    Those require NO internet connection to install once you've downloaded them.

  • Has anyone been able to contact Adobe to learn why their Flash Player does not work on Mac OS 10.6.8, no matter how many updates you install?  This seems like a big error by Adobe.

    I have thee Mac computers with Mac OS 10.6.8, one of which is a Mac Pro.  No matter how many updates I install from Adobe, their Flash Player does not work on any of these 3 computers.  I don't know how to contact Adobe Systems about this problem, but I think it is their responsibility to make sure that their so-called "universal" software works proplerly on a relatively recent operating system like OS 10.6.8 that is still in widespread use.  When you install the updates, nothing happens -- not even an error message.  What is the point of a universal player that is not universal?  It works fine on my MacBook Pro with OS 9 Mavericks, but it does not work at all -- indeed, has never worked -- on my 3 Macs with OS 10.6.8.  Has anyone contacted Adobe Systems to find out why the Flash Player does not work with OS 10.6.8 and what they plan to do about it?

    Where are you getting Flash from?
    Get the appropriate dmg installer here and then run it.
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
    If it still won't install, do these two things: First uninstall any Flash by going into the second level Hard Drive Library>Internet Plug-ins, and trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. Then boot into Safe Boot, Shift at the startup chime (give it much longer than a usual boot) and run the installer while booted in Safe Boot.

  • Apparently Firefox 3.6.4 has already been downloaded and now it wants me to downoad Flash Player 's newest version which is: 10.1 but it's not downloading on it's own. They suggested that I remove previous Abode Flash Players which I have now is: 1) Adobe

    Earlier today Firefox was updated and downloaded. It is Firefox 3.6.4. But now it's asking that I download Adobe Flash Player 10.1. It wouldn't download on it's own, so they suggested that I remove the previous Flash Players which I only saw (2)two. The 1st one is: Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X. 2) Adobe Flash Player 10 Plug in. So, do I remove these two and then try to download Adobe Flash Player 10.1 again? Thank you and I sure hope you have an answer for me, because I don't know what to do. Must I have Adobe Flash Player 10.1 in order for the new version of Firefox, which is Firefox 3.6.4? Linda 6-29-2010
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == Firefox 10.1 was downloaded today, which is 6-29-2010

  • [GT 70-20C] why two bios in download

    bios for Raid mode is rejected by my bios, I don't try the AHCI mode. Live update say that my bios is up tu date
    in my current bios I have the selection for 3 modes SATA, AHCI, and Raid mode
    I had no trouble to re-install in raid mode but I ask myself why two different bios on the site
    selecting raid mode then intel matrix storage to build the raid
    super raid utility under windows lock but the system work fine
    if anybody have any idea
    thanks

    you are doing something wrong, describe your steps
    I follow the procedure
    http://www.msi.com/files/pdf/Win8_UEFI_BIOS_Update_auto_en.pdf
    It consists in
    1/ format USB key in FAT 32
    2/ download then copy the EFI folder at the root of the usb key
    3/ copy to the EFI/boot folder the files from the bios archive
    - AFUEFIX64.EFI
    - FLASH.NSH
    - E1763IMS.70C
    4/ desactivate security boot
    5/ reboot on USB (F11)
    The nsh file start correctly the sequence
    AfuEfix64.efi E1763IMS.70C /p /b /n /k /r /shutdown
    But after checking E1763IMS.70C reject it as not compatible
    the procedure work with E1763IMS.50C
    Note that MSI has released .50E and .70E today
    I have read on another forum that superraid is only a commercial appellation but it should use in fact the standard intel raid.
    Thanks

  • I suddenly have two flashing lights on my keyboard by the caps lock key and over the end/pg up key.

    I encountered a problem waking my laptop (Pavilion dv7-1270us) this morning.  At first it would not wake up and had to do a hard reboot.  Now I have two flashing lights on the keyboard -the caps lock light and the one over the end/pg up keys over the number pad.  I have run several diagnostics and cannot find an answer as to what this is.

  • Printing problems with Flash Players 10.1 and 10.2

    I'm having problems when printing "lengthy" reports under Flash Players 10.1 and 10.2. (By "lengthy" I mean 15+ pages, but it seems dependent on the content of the pages.)
    Symptoms: On OS X with Safari (with debug Player 10.2) I get timeout errors. On Windows with IE (regular Flash Player 10.2), the system crawls to  almost a halt, heavy CPU and memory usage.   With Firefox on Windows, the Flash Player will crash. A user with Player 10.1 on Windows also reports The Flash Player crashing in Firefox (he has 8GB of RAM).
    The reports print fine under Flash Player 10.0
    There was an earlier post here about what seems like the same issue. (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3486765)
    There is a bug report (https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-6087), but so far no response from Adobe.
    I'm surprised about how few reports there are about the issue, which makes me think it may be my code. (But it worked under 10.0.)
    I'd be interested to know if others are experiencing the problem.
    Better still, if anyone has any tips on how to resolve the issue.

    This is rediculous.  I have an application in use by thousands of students, and their teachers are supposted to be able to print login sheets for their classroom.  This was functioning fine for years, and now with the latest player upgrades, it's failing to print or printing only a few of the total pages.  I'm even seeing it print one additional page each time... first successfully printing 3 pages, then 4, then 5, when printing with adobe acrobat to PDF.  What happened?  What is this talk of timeouts when printing?  I'm not getting any error messages, it's just completing the file and displaying the PDF with only 4 of the 15 or 20 pages that Flash should have sent to the printer.

  • Why is Flash blocked on my browser? Only on Firefox, and we have updated it.

    Firefox is blocking Flash. It is keeping me from loading attachments to my emails and from listening to music on Soundcloud.
    We have updated the flash and it works on every other application on our computer except Mozilla Firefox.
    Please tell me how to fix this.

    Your system details list shows that you have installed Shockwave Flash plugin.
    *Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700
    You can verify on the Adobe Flash Players Test Page that the Flash plugin is working and which version you have.
    * http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Why does flash player not work with facebook?

    Why does flash player not work with fcebook?  Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player.  When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one.  I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows.  I don't know anything else.

    This means you don't have the latest version installed.  Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
