adobe flash troubles
I tried to find info here to help me get flash to work on this computer. Windows 7 64 bit professional. It was working, and I use IE 32 bit, but then for some reason it just stopped working. I use FF as well and thats not working with flash either. Also, I tried Chrome, and no love there as well.
Problem is, I get the page that says it installed, but I cant view certain web pages, (Square Enix FF14) as they use all flash in their links. I am posting the unresolved issue from the Adobe Forums so you can see where I am at. Thanks
Greetings.
I have spent the past couple of weeks combing through first the help files, and then these forums looking at what should be the same problem I have. Even now up to the past couple of minutes it seems someone besides me is having this issue. I am wondering if I can get help here as most others have seemed to have gotten resolved.
I don't have Macfee, I am using MS Security Essentials, and Super Anit Spyware and Windows Firewall. With all of them disabled during the installtion the videos still fail. I've tried them on and off again and no help there. Shockwave works just fine but the flv files just don't go anywhere. I am not seeing any reference to flash video in Firefox, and I don't get the object in the addon listing in IE 8.
I tried the beta version for the 64bit and it didnt work either. Oddly, when I got this computer in November, I had flash all over the place. Cnet, Youtube, G4, MMORPG, you name it. All worked just great. Now I have black or white empty boxes and no videos.
It may seem like a long time before asking for help directly, but I am a tenacious bugger that likes to learn and exhaust all possibilities first. I also hoped my question would be answered in this forum as so many people seemingly had the same problem.
Please Help! I am at a loss at this point.
Thanks
Do you use the 32-bit Internet Explorer? The current release version 10.1 of Flash Player does not run on 64-bit browsers.
Can you see the Flash animation at Adobe - Flash Player on either Internet Explorer or Firefox?
What files do you have in C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash ?
I run with the 32 bit IE, according to the document pages in the Adobe instructions. It does not work. I moved over to the 64 bit version and tried the beta flash as well and that doesn't work either. Yes I get the window that says flash succesfully installed, with the version numbers below it. However, if I use the "open link in new tab" it does not show up, and the version window has the little x box in the upper right hand corner.
Files installed in the macromed flash folder are:
Flashplayer trust folder/ EACorTrust.cfg
Flash10l.ocx
FlashInstall
flashplayer.xpt
FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10l_ActiveX
FlashUtil10l_Plugin
install
NPSWF32.dll
Thank you for the prompt response.
They may be researching, but there's a lot of stuff that's not showing up on web pages (like Cnet) and such.
Thanks for any help
