Flash Player 11.3.300.262 is not working properly

Operating system: Win7 64 bit

Browser: Mozilla Firefox 13.0.1

Flash Player: 1.3.300.262

So, I updated the version of Flash Player days ago and immediately noticed a few problems. I have re-installed many times now some problems have disappeared, but there is still one. During the game the Sims 3 it crashes often say that the Flash drive is missing, even though I just installed (again). I have no problems more use it with Mozilla Firefox, it's the only one left.

Some older games REQUIRE the flash file to be precisely named "flash.ocx" - which is what has been used many years ago.   Today, Flash uses a name more long, based on the version of the file.

For your windows 7, 64-bit system, I think that the file desired flash needs to be located in the

C:\WINDOWS\systemWoW64\Macromed\Flash

subdirectory... see if you can find a file named it (something like) Flash32_11_3_300_257.ocx.

If so, right-click on the file, select COPY.   Move your cursor to any empty space on your desktop, right click and select PASTE.   Right-click on the desktop file that you just created and simply rename "flash.ocx" [CONFIRM the file - rename, if requested].  Finally, 'drag' the file renamed from your desktop, in the folder mentioned above Flash [CONFIRM file-movement of the file in read-only, if requested].

Point out you will now have two .ocx files related to Flash in this subdirectory - one with the original name (long), and the copy that you created with the shorter name.   If all goes well, who's going to make the case and allow your game to work.

Note: If this solve your SIMS problem, you need to repeat the process every time that you run the uninstall program Flash, upgrade to a newer version.

  • Flash Player 11.3.300.262 works only with Firefox. I think I found the problem.

    * Flash Player 11.3.300.262 does not work with Firefox. I think I found the problem.*

    Millions of people got off work & turned on there computers recently to discover that Firefox isn't playing videos or flash content. Like me, millions of people are randomly searching the Internet in an attempt futile and frustrating response. Unfortunately, many of these people will simply stop using firefox & consider a browser glitch, unreliable.

    This happened to me a few days ago. I started my computer and got a pop-up from Adobe saying that I need to update my flash 11.3.300.262 drive. I always thought that Adobe as being a reliable software company, so I clicked on it with confidence that things will take care even more fluid. To my horror, I have relalized that just after the update, my main browser, firefox has been destroyed. Then I went on the frustrating process of uninstalling, reinstalling, running virus scan, search the Internet like a lost child. I thought, "this is why I hate the update of things, because the updates always seem to change things you don't want to change, and there always seems to be a problem with updates." I generally update software month after release, because microsoft & all other software vendors always seem to not test it stuff properly before releasing. We must look a glitchy computer until the next update fixes it. Well, that is my rant. Now, let me discuss the problem I found.

    Problem:

    What I did, go to my menu firefox extensions, I disabled the 11.3.300.262 & I have reactivated the previous flash player. After that, everything worked perfectly again. Then one today (a week later), I turned on my computer and my firefox wasn't playing videos or flash content again. I went into my menu parts of firefox again, and I discovered that my old flash drive has been removed & this 11.3.300.262 new glitch had been activated. Why adobe feel the need of in my computer & automatically delete and update my flash drive. Now, it does not work. It IS REALLY FRUSTRATING!

    The question that I discovered:

    "RealPlayer" is the most popular video show & it's installed on millions of computers. For some strange reason Firefox doesn't want its users to use Real Player. Specifically the RealPlayer Record Plugin 15.0.2. I also discovered that my Plugin 15.0.2 Record of the browser has been disabled automatically when the Adobe 11.3.300.262 is automatically updated too.

    -Maybe this could be because of some conspiracy of copyright law to stop people from downloading videos from the web.

    -Maybe firefox wants people to use it download add-on instead of RealPlayer downloader.

    I don't know what ther reason. But what I know is no one will remove it RealPlayer to computer there is just to use FireFox. We can just use Chrome or Internet explorer. I took advice of people with disabilities the Extention of RealPlayer, FireFox and Adobe. I also went in my RealPlayer preferences options, but there is no option to disable the download of FireFox for registration. BECAUSE I have ALREADY DISABLED THE add-on menu FireFoxes.

    Solution:

    Step 1: Adobe needs to update all computers with the previous flash player. In this way we can choose to activate the previous flash player in our FireFox. or wait for a new update fixes the problem with firefox.

    Step 2: Adobe & FireFox need to get together and go back to the drawing board. They need create an update that actually works on computers with of Real Player installed on them. I don't like that the company made the update. All I care about is if it works. Thank you.

    Oh yes, Im market FireFox 13.0.1, Windows 7, computer HP, Real Player is up-to-date.

  • Once I downloaded the new version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.262, I can not play games with my friends on Yahoo Messenger.

    It could be a coincidence, but when I upgraded to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.262 I can not play games with my friends on Yahoo Messenger. I know that when I've updated for a reason that I had to try 3 times before it took. It shows that it is updated. I wonder if I have to uninstall and reinstall. Also, I never use Internet Explorer 8 but when I went there to check I found a plug check link there and it showed over there that Adobe Flash Player necessary update but it was an older version and not a Foxfire had updated me too. Now I'm really confused if it causes a problem. I've never had to control Internet Explorer for plug-ins before. Have always just updated to Foxfire since that's what I use. Adobe Flash Player seems to play videos OK not really sure if this is the issue or not. My Java plug-ins have been very well and have been updated some time there, so I know it's not that. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Hey again,
    After hours of reading and checking to make sure I had good things enabled, I did, I gave up and uninstalled the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, they gave me and re-installed and later I had my friend get on Messenger and we tried games and it worked this time.
    For some strange reason when I updated it took me 3 tries before it took. So even if he told me that it has been installed, apparently it wasn't really. Just goes to show you that you can not trust what you see.
    What has really scratching my head was I went to Internet Explorer 8, which I never use more and discovered you can now get Mozilla plug in slip out there and when I did showed that same Adobe Flash Player is outdated but it was to a different version. Not knowing if it would help, I installed a new too and he said it was his understanding that it does not. So I guess you can have 1 version installed on the computer 1 despite 2 browsers different different versions. It becomes too complicated for me. Laughing out loud!
    I work with computers all the time at work but not the technical stuff. If it's something simple, I can guess through it to help someone but it's my first personal computer for me and is a former first, so I got experience using different types. We use the desk at work as well. Personally, I like computers laptops for various reasons. And the mention of people many browsers go way over my head.
    Please answer this question though and you answer back.

  • Flash Player 21.0.0.242 does not work on Firefox 46.0.1 after installation of Windows 10

    Flash Player 21.0.0.242 does not work on Firefox 46.0.1 after the installation of 10 Windows on a laptop of Dell XPS 17 L702X. Continuously, it crashes. It works great with IE and Chrome.

    I tried the following:

    -Disabling Add-ons on Firefox

    -Do a clean installation of Flash Player

    -Do a reinstall of Firefox

    When I use "Flash Player Help" to check if Flash Player is installed, he said that my operating system is Windows 7. It is not; It's Windows 10. I used recommend it download when I looked at the Adobe Web site.

    What should I do to get Flash Player to work on Firefox?

    Thanks in advance for your help.



    I downloaded the 64-bit version of Firefox and Flash Player works now

    fine. I left the 32-bit version on my computer at the moment.

  • Flash Player 17.0.0.188 does not work in Citrix in virtual environment

    Hello Forum,

    I support analyst for a company that uses Flash as a basic application to.

    Flash 17.0.0.188 is installed on an image in the Citrix environment that uses the redirection.

    Flash 16.x player works fine, but when upgrade us to 17.0.0.188 the *.sol file are not written in/Appdata/roaming... directory.

    There are some security flaws there are issue in version 17.0.0.188 and I wonder if upgrading security in the 17.0.0.188 version is causing these files is not to be written.

    Citrix Xenapp 6.5 environment image, = Windows 7, AD authentication user has read/write rights.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Flash Player cannot write or read local shared objects in the directory of the user redirected because ban us junctions crossing (flexible connections for non-Microsoft people) in the broker process.  This behavior has been disabled to address a vulnerability identified in some of the research of John Forshaw, in the broker of EI, earlier in the year.

    If you don't want to change your infrastructure, you can enable this behavior by adding the following parameter to mms.cfg:

    EnableInsecureJunctionBehavior = 1

    That said, you can put together probably in the name of the indicator that we don't really recommend this approach and disable this default attack surface.  There is a risk that an attacker on the network could create content that abuses of the fundamental issues with how Windows manages the junction Points to write to arbitrary locations.

    More information about Junction Points can be found here:

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/205524

    Junction Points (Windows)

    If you are going to live with this attack surface, it is probably worth your time to look at the James Forshaw talk on IE sandbox sand escapes, which have brought these changes:

  • FLASH PLAYER 10.3.183.7 DOES NOT WORK IN FULL SCREEN

    FAO: MR. CHRIS CAMPBELL

    Hello Chris

    You probably get this from all angles, but the most recent update for Flash Player (10.3.183.7) JUST DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY.

    I keep my browsers updated and as of today (5 September 2011) Flash WORKS in "small pane in the browser" mode (for example, in Youtube) BUT VA VIRGIN AS SOON AS LARGER.

    Note that overlay the legends and pause / graphic reading DO all the work - it's only video decompression that is not - leave black and white screen.

    It's FireFox 7.0 both last Google Chrome: I carefully uninstalled & replace Flash form the links you have posted here and IT STILL DOES NOT WORK in full screen.

    You must release really NO new version of automatic update code like this that are not properly tested: it has mucked up watching a video for millions of people unnecessarily.

    Because of the new accelerator support?   who knows.    It's a living environment, the Toshiba Satellite Pro (we do not have all go and buy new PC every 10 weeks like you developers do) and it has a P4 and the integrated graphics card Intel 82852 standard: perfectly fine until last week.     But it has 64 MB graphic and I see that 10.3.183.7 now 'requires' 128 MB?       You can not just make assumptions like that: I bet that there are 50 million more RAM VGA PC there with 64 MB (or less).

    Adobe is a great product, but it is a complete and total ball * ls - up like we in England is called: Please excuse my Anglo-Saxon franchise.    Sorting, please.

    Mike, London, exasperated

    Hi Mike,.

    You could run into problems of video acceleration here.  I apologize and we do not have an internal bug against it (bug #2950542), which will be fixed in the next version of Flash Player.  In the meantime, you can try turning off hardware acceleration to see if that makes a difference?

    How to disable or enable hardware acceleration?

    Thank you

    Chris

  • Flash Player 10.3.183.5 does not work

    I got the flashplayer for 10.3.183.5 update version at the right moment, but I found is not a job for my previous files. Look here :ttp://www.go2album.com/album/2008/200808/20080828/jackzhang/20110810213301/test.swf the swf file it did not display in Flash Player 10.3.183.5. What happens there?

    Note: for earlier version of the Flash Player is working very well.

  • Adobe Flash Player installed, but the content does not work

    Adobe Flash Player works once I install it, but then evenually he stops working. I tried many methods of support, including downloading the tool from Microsoft to fix permission errors. I use Windows Vista Home Premium and the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.

    Somewhere, I noticed that there is an old thread like this with someone who has the same problem. I knew someone who responded showed a screenshot of what the permissions for the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT should look like. Interestingly, they don't seem to match.

    Here's the screenshot: http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/9738/testrj8.jpg

  • Flash player 11.3.300.262 is using a lot of memory

    Since the update flash a few days ago, that the plugin uses a lot more memory than usual. He uses normally between 150 MB to 200 MB, but now I've seen him use up to 900 MB.

    I noticed that the memory use increases of 5 MB or more, when you browse through a video until I stop the plugin because of the ridiculous amount of memory used.

    Please check if all your plugins are up to date. To do this, go to the Mozilla Plugin Check site.

    Once you are there, the site will check if all your plugins have the latest versions.
    If you see in the list of plugins that have a yellow button to update or a red button update now , please put to update these immediately.

    To do this, click each red or yellow button. Then you should see a site that allows you to download the latest version. Double-click the downloaded file to start the installation and follow the steps in the installation process.

  • Win 7 / FF 13 - Flash 11.3.300.257 does not work

    OS: Win 7 64 bit

    Browser: Firefox 13

    Flash Player: 11.3.300.257

    Since the update to the version of Flash Player above, the flash doesn't work anymore, which means quite simply, anything related to flash works if you use Firefox. Flash still works with Chrome and IE 9.

    Flash 11.3.300.257 is also working with Win XP / Firefox 13.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice, but it did not help. As far as I can see there are other people having trouble with the latest version of Flash in Firefox.

    Is it possible to get the previous version of Flash Player running with Win 7 64 bit / Firefox 13? Would be great because I guess it will take some time until this problem is resolved.

    The following procedure should work for you:

    Launch RealPlayer

    Click on the RealPlayer icon in the upper left of the window and choose Preferences.

    Download & recording, choose the left panel

    Uncheck the box "Enable Web download & recording for these browsers installed"

    Click OK and close RealPlayer

    Restart Firefox

    You have probably installed a 64 bit version of Flash for Firefox plugin.

    Firefox is a 332-bit application, so you need 32-bit versions of a plugin to make it work.

    You can find the 32-bit version of the Flash Player installer for a 32-bit version of Firefox here (scroll down to Flash Player (32-bit)):
