Windows 8.1 prevented Adobe Flash update as a program not recognized

Is this a legitimate upgrade?

Never heard of this person... the editor is Adobe

My GUESS is that malware onto a web site tried to install a program not Adobe, named only as Flash Player

  • How can I configure Adobe Flash Player as default program to open SWF files?

    Overview of basic

    I have this work very well to my laptop at home, but I need this working for school projects.

    Whenever I want to open a SWF file at home, I just double click it and open it in Adobe Flash Player (Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22) and I have no problem!

    However, when I'm at school I have to run in Internet Explorer, the file SWF, Adobe Flash Player IS installed, but the SWF files are opened directly, they are opened in Internet Explorer.

    At home

    If I right click on a SWF file at home and select 'Open with', and then "choose default program...". ", Adobe Flash Player is already there under the name" Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22 ", so I can select the default value. (On my laptop at home)

    At the school

    In school, so go to "Open with", then "choose default program... ", Adobe Flash Player IS NOT there, only Internet Explorer and other programs in the box of other programs. (On my laptop to school)

    Question

    How can I assign Adobe Flash Player as default program to open SWF files (on my laptop to school)? If I select "Browse...". "and go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash there is no file with a description of" Adobe Flash Player 10.0 r22 ", is the file for the program located somewhere else, or I'm just not properly looked into the record?

    I really need these files open in Adobe Flash Player directly and not in Internet Explorer (I know that you can set the view to 100% and do it properly sized)

    Thanks to all who help!
    -Charlie! (Yes I know, that I need not write this in a forum)

    The standard Flash Player is a browser add-on and not a standalone player.  So what in fact opens when you open a SWF file at home?  Flash Player projector?

    If so, you must also download in your school, to http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, then make the file association.

  • ADOBE FLASH - update error.

    I am running Win7Pro, Firefox 38.0.5 and Adobe Flash 18 NPAPI.

    Firefox will not run content Adobe Flash. Please tell us how to fix. I tried to update adobe several times without success.

    In case the problem is that the plugin is not activated, you can check the addons page? Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Search for 'Shockwave Flash' down on a gray background and if you find it, change the 'never activate' to 'ask to activate '.

    (With this setting, when you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification in the address bar icon and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.) If you do not need Flash to run on the site, ignore the notification ;)

    If Shockwave Flash is not listed on the page Add - ons:

    Verify the physical presence of the Plugin DLL

    On Windows 7 64 bit, it's here:

    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    

    and the file would be named NPSWF32_18_0_0_160.dll (unless there is a newer version with something different instead of 160).

    If the file is there... and coming out and starting Firefox save do not discover it...

    One of the possible reasons for a plugin not installed on the addons page are if Firefox has been set NOT to scan the registry for plugins. Another is that the settings of Firefox, plugin data storage file is corrupt. Here are the steps to check these possibilities:

    Confirm that Firefox scans the registry for plugins

    Firefox detects the plugin Flash to a registry entry. Some users have scanning disabled for some reason any. Here's how check and fix this:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the filter box, type or paste the scan and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) If plugin.scan.plid.all is not set to its default value true, double-click it to activate it by default.

    If you have changed this setting, close and restart Firefox to start another analysis.

    If you see the Add-ons, Plugins section page again, you will find 'Shockwave Flash' it?

    If Firefox is set to scan, but still do not find the Flash and the list on the page Add - ons...

    Remove the registry file for the plugin for Firefox

    Sometimes the pluginreg.dat file is damaged. You can remove it and Firefox plugins re-scan.

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • Menu help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste Subject: support in the address bar and press enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the "view file" button to launch a new window of Windows Explorer showing your settings files.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • File menu > exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename pluginreg.dat to something like pluginreg.old

    Launch Firefox back up again. (If you want to restore your previous session non-private use history > restore previous Session.)

    When you return to the page modules, 'Shockwave Flash' is finally here?

  • I have problems using the new adobe flash update that I just downloaded.

    Some sites are not allowing me access to what I download the most recent update for adobe flash. So I did, but afterwards, the websites are not recognizing that I have. I didn't know if it was you or the other Web sites. haha I'd really prefer not to start using chrome so please help if possible.

    Well Chrome is a good browser.

     After you closed Firefox and ran the update, it then should have finished and opened the default browser to the Adobe web site that has a spinning box, this will say you are up to date. Did this happen for you.
     If so then I would check Windows list of installed program and see if you have flash and see if that date corresponds with the day you updated. The version number should be 10.3.183.7

  • Firefox guard preventing Adobe Flash to video games?

    I recently downloaded the latest version of the plugin Adobe Flash Player 15, and now every time than reloading a page (on eBay, Facebook, Yahoo Mail, etc..) I get an error message on the top of the screen saying that Firefox has blocked. I give myself the option to allow the item to run, and it is just at this time where the system to remember. I chose to have the system remember the action, but then when I reload the page it all over again. What can I do to get this to stop as it is very boring and a pain to have to re - click ever single time.

    Note: I was promoted just to install Adobe Flash Player 16, I did. I do not know if it will solve the problem or not.

    The current versions of Flash for Windows and Mac OSX at this time are 16.0.0.235, 13.0.0.259 ESR and 15.0.0.246 although this version is not easily available for download like the other two.

    So if its your version of Flash 15 say is vulnerable then you probably the oldest 15.0.0.242 or more likely 15.0.0.239 as the 15.0.0.242 and 15.0.0.246 are not listed on the page flash archived yet.

    16.0.0.235 and also 13.0.0.25 flash9 for Windows/Mac ESR are to https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
