    There are two different versions of Flash Player for Windows (3 If you count Chrome)

    ActiveX which is ONLY for IE,

    Flash Player for other browsers which is for Opera, Safari and Firefox, and

    "PepperFlash" that is built into Chrome by Google.

    Download the tool or another browser version will have NO EFFECT on Chrome.

    Download of the ActiveX version WILL NOT install a plugin for Opera or Firefox because they do not use controls ActiveX - NO browser but IE uses not since about 2001.

    Download Adobe Flash Player for Firefox and Opera setup directly by clicking on the following link.

Since then, I installed on a laptop Windows 7 to check that the installation disc is not defective and it works like a dream out there.

  • What would cause my C: / / drive to be completely changed?

    Greetings:

    I have windows 7 pro 64-bit. Something happened between Saturday night and Sunday, and I'm very worried that this is the result of piracy.

    My question is to try to know what could cause this, and so what are the best measures to prevent anything like this in the future:

    My C drive was completely changed. He was unrecognizable, and inaccessible for me.

    I don't know what in the world happened. I've always had the drive C (which is computer, local disk C, users, etc. and has programs and of course copies of all who are also in the library, which is placed above this player is windows so that created and joking with her.)

    I went to use a software I had downloaded VCL, to convert video in a format that would play in Windows Media Player (done before with no problems) but rather discovered instead of my C drive, there was only one element: an icon I didn't recognize and it was named the "software".

    I have NO IDEA who in the world has happened. It was literally terrifying.

    Luckily I backup my notebook each week using an external hard drive and windows back up. I went back a month and restored, and it worked - put everything back. Then I got time to download windows updates and updates from mcafee etc..

    But at least he's here.

    What brought me to this issue was that WMP does not work: I have used no problem with it. And the VCL software for some reason, which seems to get corrupted every week. I uninstall and reinstall three times so far.

    WHAT could have caused this? The only thing I can think is piracy. Someone did. I surely did not. No ONE lives with me, no one has access to my laptop certainly my cat didn't do.

    I've had in the past screen sharing with my internet provider, but you will need to connect with them. I have Verizon fios. They never did anything but in the few times I had screen sharing they close and that's it.

    I also had a screen sharing with mcafee, a year ago.

    (1) that the recent screen sharing, I had is with the technicians of a company where I bought my security cameras. They had to make adjustments on the camera etc. and show me how to download.

    I never had 'streaming' because I read that it can make the computer more vulnerable. But cameras can stream video and streaming was conducting. I stopped since. I don't need to see and download on video by security cameras and really don't remember same on definition.

    (2) the security cameras are hard wired and go through my router. So, they use my IP address. BUT I have a password to connect to the cameras to examine what has been recorded. Nobody knows & I do not give.

    (3) my laptop mainly use wi - fi, as I sat in my dining room. Nobody knows that I will not let others use or I give it for NO REASON.

    OK, can so anyone who might know its IP address have a way to get into his computer, which is connected to a router?

    Is it possible that someone who completely change a C drive? How? What we have to do?

    Someone at - he heard the VLC (Videolan) and find out if there are any problems with them? It is downloadable for free, works very well - player when it works.

    This would cause software conflicts?

    Has anyone even heard of this happening?

    MORE IMPORTANTLY, what is the best way for me to guard against this?

    I have a firewall that is supplied with the router. I also have windows Defender, I have mcafee (thought I don't know so how efficient they are).

    I know it's long and I could have been more convincing, but I wanted give details, for example, you know that no one shares my laptop.

    Finally, if you set your software to enable streaming of anything, music, video... you are less security from your computer? I'm NOT allowed at all because of what I read in the info from windows and I honestly do not remember how he got the value streaming.

    The week before this happened, I had a few strange things happen like my firefox browser stuck, I saw a device called "window phone listed under devices when I do not use a windows phone and the tab where you can transfer a file for example documents to pictures, I saw"the transfer by bluetooth"when not to use any bluetooth."

    I don't know if they are related

    Can anyone recommend a GREAT firewall and supported? I read about the Comodo, but it's free, and as such, I don't think that it is supported. I don't want to stop all traffic in and out.

    Thank you very much

    I am sure that VLC it did not.  Fortunately you have been forward-thinking enough to have a back up.  Don't not piracy or the other.  If I had to guess, I strongly suspect McAfee.  He is known to be problematic

    I can recommend a malicious software solution that incorporates a good firewall so called ESET smart security.  This is the test of the balls, easy to use and you can almost forget about it

  • What would cause the mouse to scroll slowly on Web pages, but normally on text documents?

    I have a strange problem. I have a Logitech M305 mouse on another machine which is too slow scrolling on Web pages. I ordered a new mouse, but today I noticed the old mouse normally scroll in text documents, even though the text document is displayed in Firefox (such as the "subject: config" page).

    Normally, a page will scroll 3 lines for each click of the mouse wheel.
    On Web pages, it changes and it takes 3 clicks of the mouse wheel to get the page to scroll.

    It is troubling to move the mouse wheel and don't have anything happen until the third click.

    So the question is, what would make the mouse wheel behave differently on the Web pages and pages of text, and how can I solve this problem?

    BTW, this is a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit. I use the same exact type of install now on another machine with a mouse Logitech M510 and normally scrolls on all pages.

    OK, a final report on this issue. Yesterday, before installing the new mouse M325, I decided to uninstall the Logitech SetPoint software. I wanted a new installation of the software for the mouse to go with the new mouse.

    To my surprise, after the set point has been uninstalled the old mouse M305 scroll normally on pages of text and Web pages. It seems that something mysterious happened in the relationship between Firefox and the original installation of set point. Firefox made some adjustments or updates of its own regarding record just as it does for modules, I saw it happen a couple of times before. /shrug

    New mouse + set works perfectly with FireFox now and the old mouse M305 + setpoint is now works well with an old laptop XP Pro, at least as long as the button pop-up gimpy holds.

    Solution, in this case: uninstall the Logitech SetPoint mouse software, and then reinstall a new copy of it.

    Try the following, although from what you describe, it looks like a hardware problem.

    Open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open graphics cards - annotate the device listed here and then use Recovery Manager to reinstall the graphics driver question - how to use the Recovery Manager to reinstall the drivers and software is detailed in the document in question on the link below.

    Recovery Manager - Windows Vista

    Once the relocation complete, restart the laptop.

    If the problem persists, you should contact HP and arrange for the laptop repaired under warranty.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.
