Why did Adobe Flash Player 10 Activex appear twice in Add/Remove programs?
I tried this request in an Adobe forum but got no answer. I use Windows XP SP3. When I go into Control Panel Add / Remove Programs, I see that Adobe Flash Player 10 Activex appears twice. Same name and both show the last time that I acceded to them was 14/08/2010. The second one is slightly different because it shoes 2.42 MB in size. Why the duplication? Can I delete one? Besides, if it has not been used since August of last year, do I need at all?
Information on "Last use" and "size" in Add/Remove programs are notoriously inaccurate.
Each of the Adobe Flash Player uninstaller from Add/Remove Programs entries.
Open Windows Explorer and go to C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
The current Flash ActiveX control is Flash10s.ocx. There are several other auxiliary files as well. If there are any files with the previous letters after 10 (e.g., Flash10p.ocx), delete them.
Go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ to download the current version.

Hello
In the " Shockwave Player Help " site, I used the "Check now" button: the response is "sorry, Shockwave Player is either not installed or disabled..." " ?
But I'm sure that the software is there (as an object) I.E.11 AND mangement says "Shockwave Flash Object... is enabled...". "" 32-bit and 64-bit"!
I used a site that uses Adobe Flash Player and as soon as I try to see a picture of special card, I received a message saying that "I have no Adobe Flash Player installed or it is no longer there and so forth... ». The same thing happened with other sites using the same technique.
I never had problem before today with this software... The problem started in February or March of this year. Yet it worked on Safari, but not in E.I. 11, but now, it does not at all, even that is 11 and Safari!
Finally, I do not understand why the reason and, of course, I need help...
PC: Windows 7 Pro 64 - bit
Thank you in advance.

Adobe Flash Player Installer box appears white?
My laptop is running Windows 7 and I am trying to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player for Firefox 14.0.0.125. Everything is fine until I get to the Adobe Flash Player installer box, it just looks like a black box empty. I have retried several times now and always empty the box of installation poster. I even waited to see if maybe it was just slow download but I got the install window open for at least an hour now and she is still a Virgin. Is this a problem with my laptop and if if I can help with it or is it a problem with the Adobe website?

Why the new flash player will not appear on my computer?
Good, Yes, about a week or two ago (approximately when the update is released) the flash on my computer stopped working, now based on a browser is fine, but everything I tried to work with without the internet no longer works, so I tried to download this update at least 4 different times , and each time it downloads completely that I can tell, but it doesn't appear anywhere on my computer, but also always being an opening flash files. any help?
Oh an update, I've solved the problem, maybe there is an easier way, but I went to archive downloaded the same version, which gave me everything I needed to launch the flash player.

Vudu requires Adobe Flash Player for movies and gives me an error message saying that I need to upgrade to the latest version and it gives a link. When I followed the link and install the latest version, I still get the same message. I checked the Add-ons Firefox and Adobe Flash Player does not appear as an add-on available or plug-in. What is the problem?
Hello
Make sure that you have downloaded the Flash Player right as Firefox uses a different plugin than Internet Explorer (which uses ActiveX).
- (all installers) https://www.Adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
- (automatically select the correct Installer for you) https://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/
- Notice that the link is usually an 'optional' offer for the McAfee toolbar in the middle pane you can untick this box as it is not necessary to use a Flash.
