Windows 7 IE8 32bit Shockwave installs but can't get it to work.

I have tried many locations on this site to remedy this problem.
The player installs and passes the test of installlation, however when I go to say Yahoo games
it reinstalls, then installs additional compatibility items and craps out about 90%of the way and the program will not open properly. This is version 11.5.7.609. I have uninstalled and reinstalled at least 15 times. I have also downloaded the uninstaller from this web site, but no difference. Please can somebody help me on this issue? I have also checked and made the necessary corrections in the firewall. Still no good. Help!!!!

I hadn't
used the full installer previous to your respone. However upon seeing your response
I uninstalled Shockwave player and downloaded the full installer to my desktop.
Opened the installer and installed, opting out of the google tool bar as usual. Went to the following URL http://games.yahoo.com/daily-games/wordsense.
What happens is the site does not recognize the activeX control and immediately starts a down load of compatibility components. After which a window pops up asking if I wish to install the google tool bar as the previous download did. I select no and then a smaller install bar starts its job which makes it about 4/5ths the way across then opens the wordsense "downloading dictionary". Which it does for a few seconds and then blanks out and does not proceed.

    Port Forwarding.....or Port Mapping....as Apple calls it is a difficult and complex configuration method for most users. Because there are so many variables involved in this type of setup, it is not possible to provide a step by step guide that will work for everyone with all devices.
    It is possible that a setup guide exists for the the WD drive and AirPort Extreme, but you will have to go looking for it on the Internet. Even if you find one, it may not be tailored to your specific situation or needs.
    Sometimes, you can do everything right....at least according to someone's article or "how to" guide, and things still will not work correctly.
    In situations like this, when you really don't know what to do, you need to enlist the aid of an IT pro, who will know what to do based on your particular products and unique circumstances. Sometimes....they won't be able to get things working either due to particular circumstances.
    But, before you do this, I would strongly recommend that you use a Static IP address for your Internet connection with your ISP. If you do not have this now, contact them to ask them if they offer this type of connection. Expect to pay more for this type of service, of course.

  • Upgraded to Mavericks and installed new iphoto but can't get iphoto to work

    I have not been able to open my iphoto library with the current version after installing Mavericks and purchasing/installing iphoto 9.5
    Here's the system info: iMac (from Dec. 2007)
    2.8 GHz Core duo
    4 GB SDRAM
    OS  X 10.9.1 (as of yesterday)
    Iphoto 08 (7.1.5)   lived on a network drive ( Lacie cloud drive) shared between a pc and a mac.
    Upgraded to 9.5 yesterday
    I used time machine backup before installing Mavericks and proceeded to try to upgrade iphoto. However, I did not make a backup of my system after this installation and before I installed the new iphoto. Does Time machine backup iphoto files located on a network drive? Does it matter that the backup was made with snow leopard and not Mavericks?
    I followed instructions on a thread indicating that iphoto Library upgrader 1.1 should be used to prepare my old library prior to opening with iphoto 9.5. 
    When I double-clicked the upgrader it gave me this message:
    Your library can open with the current version of iPhoto and does not need to be prepared with this tool.
    I noticed that the iphoto icon has already changed from orange to blue.
    OK- great! So I go to the freshly installed iphoto and try to open my library and get this message:
    The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.
    Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.
    Alright, so I click the upgrade button and I get the beachball of death for about 15 minutes and then see a message that says:
    Examining photo library- Examining with the beachball of death goes on for another 10 minutes and then iphoto just crashes and closes.
    Back to searching through threads- Ah-  try option + cmd while opening iphoto to rebuild the database but then get this message AGAIN:
    The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.
    Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.
    And so, the cycle continues....
    After reading through a few other discussion I discovered that the iphoto library should have been on a drive formated as Mac OS extended (journaled)
    So- I format an external harddrive as Mac OS extended (journaled) and proceed to copy the iphoto library (234 GB) onto the external harddrive and after about 30 minutes I received this message:
    The operation can’t be completed because an item with the name “iPhoto Library” already exists. I click OK and everything stops and shuts down.
    Is it possible to get rid of Mavericks and go back to my original iphoto 08 using the time machine backup? If so, should I then use the upgrader before installing Mavericks and the new iphoto?
    At this point I have no clue how to proceed.  I am trying not to panic but this process is starting to drive me a little bananas and my brain is slowly, but surely, melting away. 
    Please help save my sanity. Please.
    Thank you.

    The problem is the library has been damaged from sitting on the Network Drive, and frankly, returning to the old OS won't change anything, nor will downgrading iPhoto. You're going to have this issue once you try and move the Library, or update it in any way, and - even if you stick with the old version of iPhoto, you're going to start having issues just saving edits, sharing and so on.
    So, you're between a rock and a hard place.
    I've no idea if TM backs up material on a NAS, but I do know that it can be set to back up externald rives. I'm somewhat surprised that you don't know, as this is your back up system that you created and the easiest route out of this situation. NOw there's only one way to find out.
    So, my first effort would be to try restore the Library from TM to the correctly formatted drive:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4927?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    will help with that.
    If that doesn't work or is not possible, your next effort is to try rebuild the Library to the correctly formatted drive:
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    If that doesn't work, then you're recovering the masters from the Library and starting over from scratch.

  • Downloaded current ipod updater? check. but can't get it to work.

    (I apologize in advance if this has already been addressed/answered.)
    I've downloaded the most recent update for ipod, it's installed in my computer but I can't get it to run. It always prompts me to restart my computer, which I do...then nothing. It's this constant cycle of trying to get the update to run and nothing works. Also, I've noticed my computer runs really slow and keeps freezing while I attempt to do this - I don't know if that's related.
    2. I can't get my computer to recognize my iPod. I've tried ALL (and I do mean all of them...repeatedly!) of the steps the website offered (try a different USB port etc., rename the disk drive -- only problem being the computer doesn't recognize the F drive or whatever is associated with my ipod) plus some of the tips offered on this forum (there are some really helpful & knowledgeable folks here!) and nothing.
    It's driving me insane. As much as I try and solve it myself, I'm starting to get really confused.

  • Installed webutil but can't get it to work - IE just crashes

    As far as I cam make out, I followed the installation instructions, copied files to the right places etc for webutil. But when I try and run my form, IE just crashes out with a runtime error. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm using Forms 10.1.2.02 and IE 8.

    I seem to be getting somewhere now!
    I got past the initial crashing by first of all using the basejpi.htm, and including the jar files in the archive= lines in the config. At runtime I was prompted to accept the RegisterWebutil as coming from a trusted source. I ticked the box 'always trust'. Then I changed my config to use the webutil.htm, and it worked - crashed later, but I got past the initial! I think I might get this to work now. Thanks for the help though especially with the IE settings, as it wouldn't have worked without changing that.

  • Itouch is connected but can't get email to work from Verizon account

    Hi,
    I have a new I-touch which is connecting fine to my wireless and will recieve and send email from an alternate email server.
    But I cannot get the settings correct for my verizon.net address to work on the I-touch.  It confuses me as my email address is verizon.net, but my old settings on my pc are incoming.yahoo.verizon.net and outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net. Should I be trying incoming.verizon.net, or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net.
    I have my user name without the @verizon.net and I have checked the password many times.
    I have the port setting at 587.
    It is on password authentication.
    Can anyone share with me which settings are working for them???
    Thanks,
    Laura
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I don't have a iTouch, but I do have an iPhone ...  the answer to your question depends on what "experience" you have when you get your mail from Verizon.   Are you using the Yahoo! portal experience perhaps?
    If so, the iPhone has a Yahoo! account profile which appears to work.   You use your full @verizon.net email address as the logon userid and your email password for Verizon.
    Standard POP also works ...

    Some of these settings are obviously personal preference, but there should be enough here for you to piece toogether what you need to get up and running.
