Flash does not correctly install in the directory Plugins of Firefox 3. Help!

Hello

I had a real bear trying to get flash works with firefox 3. For awhile, I've been runing Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 beta/RC side by side (installed in different directories, of course), but now that Firefox 3 is out, I uninstalled Firefox 2 and do a fresh install of Firefox 3. However, when I try to run the Flash Player installer, it lists the "output folder" as "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash" and does not affect the directory of the Firefox plugin - which of course means that Firefox does not know that the plugin is here.

I don't know if it's the default behavior and some files are copied but not correctly, or if the output folder is simply false, but if I manually copy the contents of the C:\windows\system32\macromed folder in the plugins directory, flash works in Firefox.

I need the installer works well. Can someone help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

OK, I found the problem: there are incorrect permissions in the registry. The Administrator's guide led me to this page: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19148&sliceId=2. I discovered the HKLM/Software/Macromedia registry key (as well as two key in HKLM/Software/Mozilla, Firefox and ' HKLM/Software/Mozilla Plugins') was inaccessible to the administrator; I had to take possession of the key and replace the permissions.

So the problem (get flash to install correctly) is now fixed. I guess the problem didn't rear its head with older versions of flash, because they have installed the flash plugin in the directory plugins of firefox rather than rely on the registry.

Thanks for all your help!

  • Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

    Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

    Scenario is,

    1. smart card reader is connected to the VM with card inserted in

    2 initiate a prompt suspension of the VM toolbar

    3. now to resume the virtual machine by using vmrun command into the host machine

    WS t vmrun start xxx.vmx

    Now, the recovery of VM but the smart card reader that was previously connected does not work properly in VM that is to say, sometimes after CV chip card reader driver is uninstalling and a few other times, chip connected to the drive is not available on a virtual computer

    My requirement is after power, smart card reader can stay connected to the virtual computer with the already installed driver and the smart card.

    Kindly help with this problem.

    Host operating system: Victoire 2012 R2

    The VM OS: win 10 x 64

    Thank you!!

    Dear all,

    I had a work around for this problem. By adding "usb.autoConnect.device0 ="0xVID:0xPID"" this statement to the VMX file, solves this problem, that is, whenever the VM is wake-up by clicking on the link CV or using vmrun commands, it connects the unit in question automatically and it is charging correctly with his driver. Obtaining smart card detected after sleep\hibernate with no problems.

    VID & PID is respective ID of the device that can be seen in the properties of the Device Manager "Device Instance path".

  • Some devices are not correctly installed on the Satellite Pro A200

    I have the Satellite Pro A200 psae7e. and I also have a problem with the PCI memory controller, Modem device on high definition audio bus, mass storage controller, because they are marked in yellow in the Device Manager.

    My knee works fine... sata works fine, graphic controller & etc. Everything in the natural order. but I don't want the yellow icons in Device Manager.

    How to solve this problem. I installed all the drivers, but there is still that the yellow icons that appear.

    And could someone tell me what is the PCI memory controller? Is that the shared memory?

    PCI memory controller is Intel Turbo Memory, also called chip logic Intel Flash cache
    It s a new technology designed to support the new features of Vista.
    There is no driver for Windows XP because XP doesn t supports the cache feature.

    The component of embedded controller compatible ACPI Microsoft supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) AC adapter device objects that the operating system uses to manage the resources of power.
    Seems that you BIOS does not support this!

    Update the BIOS to version XP!

  • Solution Center does not correctly install Windows 7 64 bit

    I've looked everywhere on the forum about this but still do not have a resolution.

    I have a HP Photosmart C7280, I've had two or three years.  When it is connected to an XP machine it worked fine.  I have since bought a new PC running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit, and although I tried over and over, install, uninstall and reinstall the software from the HP Solution Center, I can't work.  I really need to have the feature analysis of the Cluster Solution that I need to scan documents up to 100 pages.

    Is it possible that this software is not compatible with Windows 7 64 bit?  I downloaded the software later on the site of HP and my PC works always the latest updates of Windows 7.

    If I can't get this resolved, I'll have to buy a new printer all-in-one and believe me it will not be a HP this time.  Help, please.

    Please see below for more details.

    Here is the log of the error:

    Well I'm done chasing my tail.  It is clear that this is never going to work.  I tried to do the installation on another machine in 64-bit Windows 7 (gateway GT5228) which was a clean install and never had a HP product installed on it before and she's not exactly the same way.  I also tried a XP operating system installation and it works beautifully.  So my conclusion is that developers at HP simply no interest to this provision on Windows 7 64 bit, or they are simply too incompetent to make it work properly.  I am a software consultant in real life, and I do installations on servers is not as if I'm inexperienced.  I decided to buy another printer, but after this experience, it will not be a HP.  It is not just that a printer that works very well mechanically must be thrown on the junk-pile because the software cannot be upgraded successfully.  HP is not very favourable to the environment, creation of garbage where it could be avoided.  Sad and disappointed.

  • Flash does not. I downloaded the new version of Flash. However, it does not work with Firefox. We continue to request to download the new version of Flash. I have no problem with IE, Chrome or Safari. What should do?

    On several occasions, I have installed the new Flash Player. However, when the use of Firefox continues to ask Web sites (e.g. maps.google.com, etc.) to download the new Flash Player. I did so completely and repeatedly and restarted.

    I don't have this problem with other browsers.

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an ActiveX version for IE only and a plug-in version for most of the other browsers like Firefox. On a Windows system, you must always update both individually. You don't have the Plugin version installed for Firefox, if you did, you will see "Shockwave Flash" in the Add-ons > Plugins.

    1. With Firefox, click the direct download link below and SAVE the download on your desktop, so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    2. When the download is complete, close Firefox (file > button OR exit Firefox > exit)

  • Windows XP Pro does not correctly load after the release of the Radeon graphics driver

    Hello

    I have a Shuttle XPC with Windows XP Pro and an ATI Radeon Sapphire graphics card. The entire system is 5-6 years, if that helps my raw description.

    My graphic card Radeon has had performance problems, so I downloaded ATI "autodetect tool" and he did choose the update of the driver concerned. After installation and reboot, my PC load Windows XP, but remains unused in ' grainy 8 colors low resolution version ' of my office. No icons, toolbar or whatever it is well visible. The mouse moves the pointer autour, but does not respond to clicks. The only combination of keys which gives anything is Ctrl + Alt + Delete, raise the usual options (in this case useless) to lock the computer, close the session, stop etc.

    In short, it seems that I'm not really on my desk, even if it loaded my wallpaper by default.

    'Safe mode' or "last working configuration" does not take me anywhere useful.

    How to contact with the system to at least start to change my settings for graphics cards?

    I thank very you much for any help.

  • Firefox does not after clicking on the symbol, cannot remove firefox because it tells me that it is still open! Windows 7 64 bit

    Firefox does not at all. Would like to remove it and reinstall, however when trying to uninstall a message pops up that I need to first close firefox! In short: impossible to remove firefox, impossible to reinstall, cannot use it. Operating system Windows 7, 64 bit, Sony laptop computer VAIO PCG 81213 M. Firefox worked just fine before. IE works fine.

    This can help if you have had the same problem as me on the occasions.

    Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar. In the menu that appears, select "start Task Manager". Along the upper part of the "Task manager" window, select the 'process '. You will see a list of running processes. Scroll down the list until you see Firefox. Select it and press the 'end process' at the bottom right. Click 'end process' on the warning popup that appears. Firefox should disappear from the list. Now you should be able to start or to uninstall. If Firefox does not appear in the list at all so this fix is not for you. I hope this helps.

    You should try to reinstall the software, and then test it again.

    > 2 Qusetions. Mass storage controller drivers works the nt.
    Mass storage controller refers to the card reader. Have you downloaded driver the official website of Toshiba Flash media? You need the 64-bit version of Vista because there are no Windows 7 drivers.

    This can happen if the browser is not updated with the older devices.
