Not knowing what you have tried here just a few items that you can see if you have already done.

"Can I format my recovery disk"D "?
Yes you can.  Usually, the OEM factory restore option will automatically erase the drive.  You will need to check with Compaq on recovery methods they offer and how to access.

"I have also two adapters network with yellow!  next to them in the Device Manager. I tried to uninstall, but they relocate! »
Well, if you do a factory restore this issue should correct itself.  However, if you uninstall a hardware device, the system detects the device at startup it will attempt to reinstall.  If the network adapters are part of the motherboard you can turn them off via the BIOS.

  • Cannot install Adobe Flash Player on Firefox

    Hello

    I already had the Adobe Flash Player version 11 on my PC. Now, I tried to update the plugin and I tried to install Adobe Flash Player 20 on my PC with Windows XP, SP2, 32-bit version, Firefox and Panda anti-virus. I disabled the antivirus and it still will not be installed.

    Initially, I got the "Connection failed" message when I tried to install downloaded Adobe Flash Player by clicking twice. Now when I go to the Adobe website and download the Flash Player version 20, nothing happens when I double click on the downloaded Adobe Flash Player.


    How can I get the latest version of Adobe Flash Player installed and works on my PC to watch videos or do I have to go back to older versions of Adobe Flash Player?


    Thank you.

    I have the same problem on one of my machines and similar settings. Maybe it's because we are still in Service Pack 2 for XP. According to this site: Adobe Flash Player | Technical specification understand the system requirements for Windows XP SP3 (see 2nd point to the needs of Windows). However, this page is not dated, nor the version number specified, so I do not know if the requirement of SP3 was just to publish for Flash Player v20, or if it has been the 'official' requirement for a while now. I know that a previous version (19.0.0.226) works on my SP2 system, so you can try and install it (even if she is no longer the safer version). I almost never run flash more, except on a small handful of sites that require it (and which I used for years). I also have my settings flash on "Ask to activate" on the page of Firefox plugins, so I have to enable it explicitly whenever a site wants to run flash. Many sites want to run flash for animation of advertising, so it actually speeds things upwards when I do not allow it to run on those.

    I play with other settings on this computer to see if I can get the v20 installation program to run (if so, I will post it here), but we have just upgraded to SP3 if we want the latest version of flash. I held off upgrading the operating system for a long time on this machine, and I can finish just retire it in any case. For what it's worth, v20 FlashPlayer installed without problems on my Win7 machine.

    Thomas,

    Even if you think that you don't have Flash installed, download the following uninstall program, and then close your browser. Then run the uninstall program to remove Flash: Flash Player Uninstaller

    Then, go to the following site and download the install (s) stand alone
    http://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

    If you want to install it in Internet Explorer, download the 12.0.0.38 version above.

    To install a different browser, download the 12.0.0.43 version

    Choose the version of the EXE file in both cases. If you download 12.0.0.38, choose "Run" instead of "Save" to install it immediately.

    Otherwise, download the file to your own machine and then run it. Close the browser in advance if you are using another browser IE can.

    Either way, Google Chrome Flash is already installed and updates periodically.

    EDIT: To 'disable' Firefox, press ALT to toggle the text links on and then click on file and choose EXIT.

  • Cannot install Adobe flash player in firefox

    Adobe Flash Player works well in Internet Explorer, but I can't download & install in FireFox. I always get the error message "an error has occurred in the script on this page.

    I can't install Adobe Flash Player on Windows 7, IE11 after countless attempts.  I installed Chrome (which I didn't do, and I still don't know if it was necessary), I updated Java to the latest version, I uninstalled Silverlight (thinking maybe it has been installed by default), I also (temporarily) disabled my Norton protection when installing it the last 4 times, and I made sure that the add-on has been "enabled" in the fall of management modules area , and yet, he does not show it when I do a test of the Adobe system being installed. It also does not appear on my start - search for Adobe programs.  I'm completely frustrated, especially when the web page to download Adobe told me that all the 3 steps are completed and effective and thank you & Enjoy.  I have read the forums as well, but I can't find a solution.  Help, please. Thank you, Bill

    If you do not have an error during the installation of the plugin is probably installed successfully.  It is possible that the plugin is disabled in Internet Explorer or ActiveX filtering is disabled.  Please see: Enable Flash Player for Internet Explorer and ActiveX in Internet Explorer filtering after ensuring the Flash Player is enabled and activeX filtering is disabled, via IE to https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html and click on the "Check now" button  What are the results for Information System?

    Java and Silverlight are two completely different programs, have nothing to do with Flash Player.

    Flash Player is a browser plugin and will not appear on a start - search Adobe programs.  It appears in Control Panel > Add Remove programs.
