  • Google Chrome (Dev channel) using the old version of Adobe Flash Player

    Hi all

    I hope this isn't a stupid question. I was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem regarding the browser Google Chrome Dev (Version 45.0.2438.3 dev - m (64 bit)) using an old version of Flash Player? Here are the details from the Plugins page. I have 18.0.0.205 beta installed (by ActiveX, NPAPI, PPAPI) However, these are the versions of 32-bit. Chrome will not give me access to any other plugin for flash player other than what is shown below. As far as I know the latest public version of the Chrome browser is 18.0.0.203?

    There the stand-alone installers for 64-bit flash players, because I have not met one of these? Not sure if Chrome doesn't is more pick up these plugins being installed because of this be a later version of the channel dev, or be a 64 bit version now. Thank you in advance for any input.

  • Adobe Flash Player does not load on windows 7 64 bit edition Home premium

    I keep getting error messages when I try to download adobe flash player. I have a new computer with windows 7 64 bit home premium installed. I need to upgrade to a better version of windows 7, such as pro or ultimate? I'm pretty sure that Internet Explorer is a 32-bit version with this operating system. But I can not find all 32-bit versions of Flash Player download. I tried to download another version of IE, a 64-bit version, but when it was all over I had the same version again.

    In addition, my windows Explorer freezes and restarts sometimes. Don't know why, the machine starts to slow down and then the articles are non-compliant, then explore shuts down and restarts.

  • Driver DVD disappear from 'My computer' and 'Device Manager '.

    Vista HP Portable DVD player continues to disappear from 'My computer' and 'Device Manager '. Already tried Upper/LowerFilters.

    Hi, a few weeks ago, the DVD burner in the laptop suddenly disappearedmy computer (Windows Explorer).  The first thing I did was check theDevice Manager to see if the drive was there.  It was not the case.  Restarting the laptop did nothing.  Repeated several times, active Vista updates.  No change.  By checking the net, I tried to delete the Upper/LowerFilters in the registry, download it tool Microsoft fix , delete iTunes, do a system restore, to change all the parameters of thesleep and hibernation off and a few other things.  It appeared for the first time after that:

    1. Do a restore of the system for the first restore point.
    2. Remove the DVD writer.
    3. Restarting the laptop.
    4. Research of new hardware in Device Manager .
    5. Change all parameters of standby and Hibernate off. (I tried this method without this step first, but the drive disappeared after the computer went to sleep and woke up.)  Tried 3 times with the same results).
    6. Closing.
    7. Reinsert the DVD burner.

    On the next reboot, the DVD writer has been recognized and ended up in my computer and Device Manager .  No errors of any kind and no drivers were installed at startup.

    What has happened since then, in the last 4 or 5 days, is randomly disappears from thedesktop .  Usually after a few hours or more.  This time, however, it usually appears inDevice Manager after a search of new material.  No reboot required.  It will read from a DVD .avi files each time.  It has not been detected byDevice Manager maybe about 2 or 3 times, and after a simple reboot, it will be present inmy computer and Device Manager automatically after a reboot.  I read that the superior/UpperFilter mark has worked for many people, but for some, the problem returns.  In addition, many of the discussions on this question and proofreading are years.  It happened about 10 days ago.  Within 2 days before the problem appeared first, it was an update of windows, but also an update of iTunes.

    I noticed that I received this error when opening iTunes:

    "The registry settings used by the iTunes for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can occur as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes. ''

    I have not reinstalled, no DVD player.  Uninstalled itunes again.  Since I finally got the drive to appear (using the method I described above), I did bother to reinstall iTunes because I particularly need it on this computer, worried that it may be the cause of the original problem and I wanted to see if the disc disappears again.  I did do it, however, let QuickTime installed.  Don't know if this could be a problem?

    I stumbled upon this suggestion, but I also had the same question as the next post, and I have not seen a response.  I don't know if or how I should try:

    Nikki,

    You can not go back if the restore points aren't there. Try to reinstall the IDE driver.

    To do:
    -Click on the round to start and right click on computer
    -Left click on properties, this will open the system window
    -Click on device high Managerin left
    -Click on continue if prompted by UAC
    -Goto the 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' you should right click on uninstall and restart

    BTW that dog rox in this avitar

    See you soon! MCP. MCDST. LVL 80

    Hi, thanks for the comment on my puppy. She is now 5 MB and her name is Nikki, lol.

    Well, I tried what you said, but the IDE ATA/ATAP controllers has a (+), so when I select it does give me not an option to uninstall. It is for me (analysis of the physical changes (or) properties).       and if I click on the (+) sign I have 4 different options. 2 channels IDE, Intel (R) 82801 HEM / HBM SATA AHCI controller and Intel(r) ICH8M Ultra ATA Storage controllers - 2850.

    What I see in "Device Manager", under IDE ATA/ATAP controllers is:

    IDE channel (x 4)

    Ricoh Memory Stick Controller

    Ricoh SD/MMC Host Controller

    Ricoh xD-Picture Card Controller

    Controller of PCI standard IDE dual channel (x 2)

    The laptop is about 2 years and never had problems.  The DVD burner is hardly used to burn, maybe a total of 5 disks in this time.  It has been used occasionally to read or copy from, but not much.  I'm not convinced that he is dead, as I had 2 die on me in desktop computers, after burning hundreds of CDs in them and read much.

    in any case, I was not able to find any bugs or suggestions (with the exception of 'replace' the reader), so I just wanted to describe my specific situation and see if anyone could help out.  Forgive me for information, I have left out, but I am an amateur when it comes to the problems with the computer and still don't know what mean things or where I can get information on my OS, software or hardware.  All anyone can do would be greatly appreciated.

    This is the information I have:

    HP Pavilion dv6700 Notebook PC

    Optiarc DVD RW AD-7560 ATA Device

    Vista Home Premium

    Service Pack 2

    Thanks again for any help.

  • Adobe Flash Player has disappeared from my modules FF & reinstall

    Adobe Flash Player has disappeared from my modules FF (version 4.0.1) & not reinstall. Adobe's Test page shows that I managed to install the latest version of Flash Player (10.3.181.34), but after trying this 4 times, Flash refuses to appear in my add-ons/plug-ins and now some websites do not work properly. (With the help of a Win7 Home, 64-bit, 1 MS Office).

    Because are different products and load/use/display of different types of files. You either have both installed because you use Web sites that require one or the other, or you don't. Do not worry about the reason why they are named the way they are appointed, it is the decision of Adobe. Just accept the facts and go on with your life.

    We run a program that does not allow students to update programs or make other changes. The problem is that Firefox thinks that it NEED to update Flash Player whenever there is a new version. It is simply not feasible with as many computers as we support. 99% of the time, the update is not necessary.

    You can disable the blocking of modules in Firefox and remove the file blocklist.xml in the profile folder.

    I recently installed Adobe Flash Player ActiveX 11 - 11.4.402.265 and when I open my Mozilla Firefox browser I get this message flashing on my screen: "Adobe Flash Player 11.4 r402 has stopped working" and then "Windows is checking for a solution"

    It flashes several times then stops usually but not always.

    It happens every time I try to open a new page.

    I solved this problem by uninstalling Adobe Flash Player 11 and install Adobe Flash Player 10.3. However, now my IE browser again wants me to install Adobe Flash Player 11. Although I do not often use my IE browser, I DON'T have to use sometimes. Is there a Firefox 15.0 update to fix this problem?

    First of all, the Flash of the IE is totally different than the flash used in Firefox. You can update one without affecting the other.

    Now, there is a problem right now with Flash 11.3 and 11.4 in Firefox. Downgraded to 10.3 is an acceptable solution for the moment. Adobe publishes the updates (slowly) that solve the problems, but it is not a matter of time before they are all fixed.
