Flash and Shockwave Players problem?

Had installed Flash and Shockwave without incident. All of a sudden, I started to see messages indicating that I need to be or to view a particular site. Checked "all programs" and any site on the list. However, programs appear in Control Panel under files to remove. Page from Adobe where you can check if a program is installed shows two installed programs. Restalling attempts appear successful, but still programs do not display in "All programs" and still receive messages that the programs must be installed. In Control Panel I see Adobe Flash Player11 Pliug in Adobe Flash Player 12 Active X and Adobe Shockwave Player 12.0. Not a powerful computer user. What Miss me? Using Windows 7, IE 11.

Flash Player is a "plug-in", NOT a soft, so you will NEVER find it in the folder program files or in the start menu.  The two physical files in C/Windows/System32/C:\windows\system32\macromed/Flash and C/Windows/SysWOW64/C:\windows\system32\macromed/Flash.

But...

IE11 is a 'rolling Train wreck. " Combined with 8.1 it is, without a doubt, the worst bunch of garbage to EVER come out of Redmond, WA. Even with WIndows 7, it's a mess, but not ALL THE TIME as it is with 8 or 8.1

MS has deliberately changed the "User-Agent strings" to make it almost IMPOSSIBLE for pages and sites ID it. (See: Screwed of IE11 up channels User-Agent)

The pages may not recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication they have any plan to address it quickly.

Recommendation from Microsoft is to use compatibility view for the relevant pages and "pretend" you are using a different browser. Problem with that is it has been a success limited at best, and you will need to activate individually for EACH page that has problems.

I'm not big on "pretend" so I recommend you to use another browser.

Firefox (from Mozilla)

Opera (from opera)

Safari (from Apple)

Chrome (from Google)

NO one who will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player plug-in (for all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't have same because it has its own plugin Flash Player built in.

  • Mozilla blocking flash and shockwave players

    I realize there is a problem of security in 2013, but I also thought with the updates that have been made it has been supported.

    I checked my plugins after this last update of FireFox version 39.0 and he put into shock wave always 'request to activate' as well as the flash player plugin.

    That's what he said in the Panel:

    Adobe Flash Player

    Shockwave Flash 18.0 r0

    vulnerable

    version: 18.0.0.203

    Granted I have a MacBook Pro 17 "running SnowLeopard, I can't go higher because of the requirements to which I do not respond but I read on the Mozilla forums (no current job I think) Adobe was supposed to have fixed it and no vulnerability."

    Someone can tell me Yes it's fixed or not.

    Hi DarkAngel612,

    There was a security breach in 18.0.0.203 and blocked Mozilla plugin in Firefox.  This morning we released a patch for this vulnerability.  Please download the latest version of 18.0.0.209, of https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer.

  • Shockwave Vista problem?

    I was unable to install shockwave on 2 vista machines. Both display the same error as follows:

    "Could not open the file.
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/dir.DCR because it is
    already opened with the authorization in writing by another user. »

    The same type of error occurs to me at the following address:

    All the advice that I found so far seem to imply a change to the settings of the file on the server! This just happened to me on Vista.

    I had previously uninstalled flash and shockwave, then installed shockwave using the stand-alone Installer, then installed flash using the adobe online activex installation procedure.

  • What Flash player and Shockwave plugin different?

    Do I need to install the plugin for Shockwave? I can play games online and some are asking for Shockwave?

    Flash Player and Shockwave Player are two different entities.  The confusion often starts because the Flash Player plugin is called Shockwave Flash internally.

  • Flash and how it interacts with Web sites and if it causes problems.

    Hi, I am very new to the Adobe's Flash. I'm an in-house designer. I'm about to take a course in Adobe Flash and my boss asked me if you use Flash on our website will cause problems. Currently there is no Flash on our Web site. If we add some Flash people who visit our site will have questions? If so, what would they meet? Thanks for any help!

    The main problem you may have is with the users using hendheld devices such as iPhones and iPads that don't support the Flash player - and on into the future where Flash player support for mobile devices is likely to end altogether.  In such cases, you will need to provide alternative content and Player detection when no player is detected.

  • Given that you have blocked Adobe Flash and I uninstalled as suggested by many commentators, what are my options to see the content I want to see?

    Yet once, now that Adobe's Flash problems are everywhere the news what are my options to display the content on the sites that were previously used by Adobe Flash? I uninstalled Adobe Flash, but need an alternative. Thank you!!!

    Mozilla had 'soft-blocked' version 18.0.0.203 and earlier, which still allowed you will activate Flash on websites of that trust.

    If you are not accustomed to using the "Request to activate" feature with any of your plugins, here's what to expect:

    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification in the address bar icon and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.

    If you see a good reason to use Flash, and the site looks trustworthy, you can go ahead and click on the Lego-like icon in the address bar to allow Flash.

    But some pages use Flash only for tracking or play ads, so if you do not see an immediate need for Flash, feel free to ignore the notification. It will just sit there in case you later want.

    Until this ordeal of previously unknown security flaws shakes, you might want to try this and see how it fits. To set the Flash "Ask to activate", after you have reinstalled it, open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Search 'Shockwave Flash' and always change 'enable' to 'ask to activate '.

  • I have firefox I put in player17.0.0 flash and I can't see vidios on utube or play games on facebook or zynga. Why not? What should I do?

    When I was asked to update my flash player, so I did, I was playing farm town 2 on Zynga. When I did, I went to play my game and the image would not return. The site came, but the game would not load completely so that I can play the game. I'm went on You tube to play music videos and the videos would not play. I went to my WWE network to see if I could look at him and I could not watch anything there either. I can not even play my games book face. I loaded and unloaded flashplayer at least a dozen times or more, and I still can't get anywhere. I can also do not charge any old version of flash player. What should I do?

    First of all, unfortunately, pop-up message on the Flash updates while you visit Web sites can often install malware. If you notice any strange behavior then please complete your plan of regular safety with some freedom to scan/cleaning of the tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware.

    Secondly, your "more details of the system" does not show the 'Shockwave Flash' plugin, so it can be disabled. You can check on the page modules, either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Search for "Shockwave Flash", and if you find it, change permission to 'never activate' to 'ask to activate '.

    If the plugin is not there, you can check the following folder to see if you find this file on the system:

    File: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    File: NPSWF32_17_0_0_188.dll

    I also noticed something odd: you said Windows 7, but your Firefox means Windows XP. Could clear you any parameter of backward compatibility on your shortcut to Firefox. Here's how, either:

    • Right click of your Firefox shortcut on the desktop > properties
    • right click on your icon of Firefox taskbar pinned > Mozilla Firefox right-click > properties

    In this dialog box, open the Compatibility tab and make sure that nothing is settled here, so Firefox can take full advantage of Windows 7.

  • a web site that I use every day tells me that I must now download flash and enable the java script, how can I do this?

    I use the American family site every day, and today when I went to play the games that I play every day instead of the game coming to the top, a notice that says I have to install flash and activate java script in order to see these games.

    You do not have the Shockwave Flash 11.0 r1 plugin so Flash should work.

    You can test here:

    That leaves option that you've blocked JavaScript.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • Flash and Silverlight don't work at all in beta 34.0, when Internet Explorer is working correctly with these; immediately arrived with Update Beta 34.0.

    Hello!

    Immediately after the Update Beta 34.0, Silverlight and Flash, completely stopped working in Firefox. I am running Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 2.

    They work fine in Internet Explorer.

    This happens in any website I want.

    For example, I can go on Youtube and the page will display a black box where the video should be, but there is no control of playback, or any way to activate the video. Clicking in the black box has no effect.

    On the site of game music, Grooveshark, the site does not recognize Flash installed at all. (If you have not installed Flash, this site displays a message each time. Grooveshark correctly recognizes that Flash has been installed by Internet Explorer.)

    I've updated the Flash plugin for the current version, which also has nothing.

    I have not reinstalled Firefox, or do a system restore, still.

    I just bought a new computer I was going to migrate to and withdraw from this computer, so I wasn't going to make heroic efforts to solve this problem. I reported this more on the order of a bug report.

    Thank you.

    Karl

    Karl,

    Do you by chance have Flashblock installed? I had checked before and did turn off but it seems was not enough. Update b 34, 1 break Flashblock who, in turn, breaks Flash and, for me, VLC. I had to disable (in Add-ons) and restart Firefox, and now everything is fine.

    I found this while digging for answers on the Mozilla forums and eventually find http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23 & t = 2881007

    I've never had a problem with firefox until I upgraded to firefox 7. I've always made changes to about: config and went through my edits and none is related to this.

    This option is no longer available. But disable hardware acceleration seemed to fix it.
