Where is the ShockWave Flash Player?

I try to associate with the shockwave player .flv files.  I downloaded and installed the reader, but can't find it!

When asked to define what program to use by default, although I have searched high and low, I can't find any executable

program.  I googled and he said look in the Windows downloaded program files files.  There is something with the extension .swf

but with flv files does not work.  I went to programs and features, and he said: I have indeed installed

the shockwave player, but I can't always have any info on where put it.  Any ideas?  I temporarily used VLC to see and

associate files, because Windows Media Player hangs the system.  This is a record I have of pedagogical .flv

I copied to my hard drive of files.    I want to be able to simply click them at will to play without worrying with the DVD.

Thanks in advance...

I found an other add-on called "Video without Flash", he told me to remove 'shockwave Flash' I did it, now I can't any video on the site of greeting card. Is the problem that I removed the Shockwave Flash or something else, I have the latest version of Adobe's Flash Player.

    Are not the same files (not the same weight and the name) than in old V 9.0.262.0 (46 MB) package...

    Glad that you have confirmed with the path and size, else it would take a position more to clarify

    Those you need to download is:

    The first file is in the Players\Debug directory.

    The second goes into the Players\Release directory and players (Yes, it's the same file - check the size)

    Once you put the files here, remove the 'old' and rename the new as FlashPlayer.exe

  • Shockwave Flash Player crashes

    Used FF exclusively for years. Installed new FF recently, started by a script message does not respond, what led to the crash of Adobe Shockwave Flash Player message ever time I try to do anything. Tried to install the latest version, in fact, crashed during installation! Tried resetting FF, in addition to breaking. It became problematic for all work at all. I have noticed that a lot of people with this problem have talked about switching to chrome, may have to do the same.

    I said several times that Flash was f ' n ridiculous to work with Firefox and most of the questions on this support site are due to this piece of crap Flash. Mozilla is building an alternative for Flash called Shumway. It is not available for daily use but is available in the night compilation very early (not enabled by default)

    It seems that Flash is already at the latest version, right?

    Try turning off hardware acceleration.

    1. Go to the Adobe Flash Player help page.
    2. Right-click on the Flash Player logo on this page.
    3. Click settings on the shortcut menu. The Adobe Flash Player settings screen opens.
    4. Click the icon in the lower left of the Adobe Flash Player settings window to open the display panel.

    5. Remove the enable hardware accelerationcheck box.
    6. Click close to close the Adobe Flash Player settings window.
    7. Restart Firefox.

    This Flash Player help - display settings page contains more information about the Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you are interested.

  • Failed to install the latest Flash Player.

    I have windows XP 32 bit and manually installed, following all the instructions, deleting first, closing xcomputer, commissioning and installation, and have no error report. My control panel shows the Flash Player installed, but the site that says that it isn't. I am extremely frustrated, because I have no problem when using Mozilla.It is only with IE 8. It happens every time, and sometimes, he moved and sometimes like today do nothing useful. How can I resolve this - I find useless Adobe help.

    Hi, here are the instructions for you. Be sure to follow them. Print them if you wish.

    Download and SAVE the uninstaller to your desktop:

    http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/141/tn_14157.html

    Then go to this site and download and SAVE the installer for Internet Explorer on your desktop.

    http://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html You use the Windows - Internet Explorer - download EXE installer.

    Then, download and SAVE the installer to your desktop for Firefox on the same site, use the Plugin browsers - download EXE installer.

    -Right click on the avast! icon in the system tray (looks like this: but orange in color from v5). Select avast! control shields and there will be options to disable avast for 10 minutes, 1 hour, until the computer is restarted or permanently.

    Disable Spybot SD IE Protector/TeaTimer:

    Open Spybot > click on advanced - mode Mode click Yes > click on tools in the left pane below. > click on resident > then disable teatimer, protection on all active systems. Close spybot and reboot. TeaTimer is no longer active. I don't know if it disables these addons or not, but I would disable them there too.

    Now you close all browser windows and only focus on your desktop.

    Your computer, RUN the program uninstall and when it's finished, Reboot (restart).

    RUN the Setup program for Internet Explorer and when it's over.

    RUN the installer for Firefox.

    Restart your computer.

    Reactivate your Avast first. Then proceed as follows before activation of Spybot just in case there is a conflict.

    Then return your Flash files and check the Shockwave Flash object, and make sure that it is installed and activated.

    Let me know if you have any questions. I have some errands to run today, but will be on the forum for 30 minutes or more.

    Thank you
