Flash.ocx missing, tried everything.

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and trying to install a game that requires flash.ocx.  I get an error saying that "this program requires flash.ocx, which is no longer included in this version of Windows.  I tried to uninstall/reinstall instructions several times without success.  The only files I have in my folder C:/windows/system32/c:\windows\system32\macromed/flash is:

FlashInstall.txt

Flashplayer.XPT

FlashUtil10I_Plugin

Npswf32.dll

This is after several relocations.  How can I solve this problem?

Thank you!

Hi, you need to install Flash Player in the browser Internet Explorer. Go here and download and SAVE the installer EXE on your desktop:

http://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

Close all the browser windows, disable all Messenger services in the tray (area near the clock) disable your anti-virus if it is Norton or McAfee. Disable anti-virus addons in the IE browser if none until after public Service is installed successfully.

When finished installing, Reboot (restart) your computer.

Don't forget to use the administrator account.

Test here with your Internet Explorer browser:

http://www.Adobe.com/software/Flash/about/

You should see the logo Flash animate (spin) and you will see the version of FP.

Don't forget to look in tools, Manage addons under 'Show' in all the addons for Shockwave Flash Object, which should be listed, Enabled.

Thank you

    I bought a Windows 8.1 today and wish I hadn't! It's a pain to use (I had a Windows 7 previously). None of my games of Cossacks work on windows 8.1 either and I've tried them in compatibility mode. Is it possible to install Windows 7 on my new computer and replace the disastrous 8.1 version?

    I would like to point out something that you may not realize: Windows 8
    has two interfaces; the modern/Metro Interface (which may be all the)
    you have looked at) and the traditional desktop Interface. You can use
    one or both. This traditional desktop Interface is almost
    identical to the interface of Windows 7. the biggest difference is that
    There is no Orb start clicking to bring up the start menu.

    But note that you can get the ORB start by using one of the many
    third-party programs, are free or very cheap (the classic interface
    http://classicshell.sourceforge.NET/ and debut8 to
    http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/; my personal preference is
    Debut8, but they are both very good).  And goes from an interface to
    the other is very easy; There are several ways, but simply by pressing
    the Windows key is perhaps the easiest.

    Just install one of these two and using the traditional desktop computer
    interface may be a better choice for you than going to Windows 7.
    I use Windows 8, almost exclusively with traditional workstations
    the interface and with 8 Start installed. If you were to look at and use
    my computer, you may have a hard time realizing that it is not
    Windows 7.
    I also recommend to read "how to make Windows 8 or 8.1 watch and.
    Want Windows 7 "to http://www.howtogeek.com/elk/298/45121/4206
    I can't address the issue with your games, except to say that
    whenever you move to a new version of the operating system, some of
    which is used to run on the former does not work on the new. And it's
    much more likely with utilities and games with companies
    applications.

  • OSX Yosemite - Flash Player will not even install - tried everything (I think!)

    I've tried everything. I have a new MacBook Pro with Yosemite 10.10

    I downloaded all Adobe Flash Player installation file that says will work with the latest Mac system, but it bounces right on the dock. I finally found one that actually opens a window of Setup, but when I click on 'Install' the beachball weaves, let him shoot all day today to see if the time would help. He just kept spinning as if it were really long Beach Boys concert.

    Please, someone help. All with the video seems to use it. I had this problem for the both Safari AND Firefox.

    Great, glad you were able to get running.  Usually when you see this, it's a third-party virus scanner - usually a release or off-brand a - which is to stop the installation program.  If you want to help us improve Setup online, newspapers would be useful.  Otherwise, we keep links updated for offline installation programs displayed on the installation troubleshooting guide.

  • Flash.ocx is missing for the downloaded flash game

    I specified in the title is because it's the whole question and not in the browser. Anyhoo...

    Operating system: Windows 7

    Browser: Firefox (last update)

    Flash worm: 16.0.0.235

    I have a flash downloaded on my desktop game. He worked before so I know that there is a solution, but I forgot it in time, that I deleted it then returned to him now. Whenever I try to play, being administrator or not, I get the same error message.

    This program requires a component missing Windows

    Looking for a solution on the Microsoft Web site. If a solution is available, there will be steps taken to resolve the problem.

    (Game details here.)

    This program requires flash.ocx, which is no longer included in this version of Windows.

    I googled on how to solve this problem, it has been uninstall Flash completely and reinstalling from the ground upward. I just did this and nothing has changed. I've also seen to download the .ocx himself and place it in the folder of the game who needs them, that has not changed anything.

    Help?

    Also, if I asked this before and you will remember me, sorry. I didn't not favorite the other thread and forgot.

    The game is looking for the version of Internet Explorer from Flash Player.  (With a built-in Windows web browser, applications are usually embedding of instances of Internet Explorer)

    The best way to solve this problem is to launch Internet Explorer and go ahead with the download at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer

    Hello

    From Windows 8 Microsoft embeds Flash Player in the browser.  This includes Windows Server 2012.  For this reason, Microsoft locks the permissions on files to prevent users to erase files.  Microsoft does not provide a standalone installer of Flash Player for IE/Edge on these platforms and all updates from Microsoft via Windows Update.  By force to unlock the file and forcing the removal of the file you probably made your system unable to re - install Flash Player because there is no separate standalone installer for Flash Player on Windows Server 2012.  If you do not need Flash Player on this system, which is not a problem.  But if you need Flash Player on this system, you can, or can be not, be able to reinstall it.

  • "This program requires flash.ocx, which is no longer included in this version of Windows.

    First , Thanks for stopping help.


    I am installing swiff player (so I can add a .swf to my Microsoft Powerpoint conference), but Swiff Player gives error:


    "This program requires flash.ocx, which is no longer included in this version of Windows.


    An online search has been unsuccessful.


    Reset IE does not work.


    I have Windows 7 32 bit and I have installed (just today), Flash Player and Shockwave Player.


    This next paragraph may or may not help (but is probably too much info):


    It was working before I had to reinstall windows. They have also improved my office at Office15 (how it shows in Program Files), kind of Powerpoint has been updated (from my previous one which was of Office 2010. What I'm trying to do here, is to add a .swf as my 1st opening in my powerpoint slide. I noticed that it is 'there', but is no longer autoplays and right-click on swf placeholder (from when I had placed it in this file years ago), no longer displays things like 'properties' where I used to have such characteristics as the loop/play immediately... I remember you had right click this space reserved flash (I had used SWIFF PLAYER to add it before) and then go down to "loop"... but that maybe older info too - just in case it's useful). So, anyway, due to the restructuring of Windows, I noticed that this slide 1st plays automatically on opening. Therefore, I myself remember I had to also reinstall Swiff Player that I did today, and then encountered this error flash.ocx above.


    THANKS if you can help and above all, thank you for your solutions.

    That you use in a safety device in the current versions of the office.  Content Flash is click-to-play in office documents.  Unfortunately, one of the main vectors of infection of malicious software inside corporate networks was end users clicking on legitimate-looking office with the plug-in embedded content documents.  To mitigate this risk of infection, content incorporated as SWFs are click-to-play. If it were possible to bypass security dialog boxes, they would not provide a valid defense against this attack vector.

    There is a guide on the side of Microsoft support on the integration of videos directly in your presentation:

    Insert the video in your presentation - PowerPoint

    If you're looking to see a simple Flash animation, you are probably best to convert to video.  You can do this directly from Flash Professional, as long as you have the original files from the source (.fla).   If you do not have the .fla, you could do the hacky thing and use a screenshot as Adobe Captivate utility / Camtasia Studio / etc - to make a video recording of the animation playing on the local computer.

    If you are looking to integrate a complex interactive element based on Flash in the document, then, you should probably think to place these items on a Web site and bind it to the powerpoint presentation.  In my opinion, it would be preferable to move away from this use case than to train your students to ignore the Security dialog boxes that really do provide significant barriers to potential attackers.

  • Unable to load plugin - I tried everything offers

    Unable to load plugin:

    I had this problem occurs earlier today, I tried everything that was suggested, but no luck either. Here is what I tried, I hope someone can help me (in part to say use Firefox).

    plugin.png

    Tried:

    1.) uninstall and install again - still the same

    2.) flash player install 18 - still the same

    (3.) I checked my directory of chrome for the file pepperflash can I change the name that apparently suits him. Nothing in the directory says:

    C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash

    4.) Chrome uninstall and install again (however do not get rid of the add-ons/extensions etc.)

    5.) check the directory of the application instead, nothing inside either:

    C:\Users\NTEA\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\ < string of the number >


    6.) break my head on the keyboard, because I'm frustrated - now my head hurts.

    There is nothing more said on forums about it, so I hope someone can help here instead.

    Thank you

    I had this problem also, I did a clean install of win10 and it just happened to me. I just fixed it by chrome UN-installing reboot and then re-installed again.

    To get the Flash Player ocx, you must install the Flash Player ActiveX for Internet Explorer component.

    There are still actions concerned, but you must first install the ActiveX.
