Re: Adobe Flash Player 10 Fix for WinXP, IE8, Firefox, ect.
(I would like to recommend those not using IE8, or Firefox 3.5, get the updated versions) Below, are some links that should help you with Adobe Flash Player, that I have found for you.
If your looking for uninstallers go to this site: »kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
If your looking for a TRUE FULL INSTALL, you can download this developer version for Windows and Mac: »download.macromedia.com/pub/flas···sh10.zip (44MB) (If you download this, I would recommend you still follow my instructions for the Flash Utility before restarting your computer.)
I would recommend all users having problems try the above solution first.
I have posted this on a couple of websites, and so far it has fixed everyones problems.
Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 has Adobe Flash Player coding built into the browser so that it not only loads faster but works better.
You still need to have the Adobe ActiveX plug-in and Adobe Flash Player for both browsers.
IE8 has tried this as well, but it still has a couple bugs in it.
If you have IE8 or FireFox 3.5 Beta 4, and you are still having problems, then I recommend that you go to www.windowsupdate.com and get all of the latest updates (including SP3), then try this fix again.
Your auto-updater built into windows (If you even have it on) doesn't always pull down every update available for your computer. It only pulls down the manditory ones.
Sometimes you HAVE to go to the website and manually get them yourself. I recommend when you go to the website, you click on custom install and pick every last one of them to install, which includes, hardware and software fixes for your computer.
What a lot of people don't know is that when you have installed and tried all of the recommended fixes that Adobe gives you, and it still doesn't work, is that you are having registry conflicts within your Operating System (OS ex. WinXP, Vista, Linux, ect.), and that it is not the Adobe software at all.
Those are usually repaired by making sure your computer stays up to date.
The fact is the computer world is changing so rapidly that everyone can't keep up. You have to check for updates weekly.
If you fall behind on those updates, then you start having problems with your computer and/or software.
One problem then can turn into many and people get frustrated when something all the sudden just quits working.
Take a day or two at least once a month, and make sure you update and maintain your computer.
This includes disk defragmenting, disk cleanup, and making sure you have all the lastest updates.
You can get to Disk Defrag, and Disk Cleanup by going to Start, All Programs, Accessories, then to System Tools.
I would do Disk Cleanup first, then Defrag.
I hope you take this advise into consideration, and that it is very helpful for you.
Thanks and goodluck, from another user like you. | |

[/BQUOTE :First let me say this response is not a flame, I don't do flames it's just plain stupid and childish. With that said I find some of you recommendations to be a bit questionable. I just got done posting this on another thread but I feel it is important enough to repete the keystrokes. Never use Windows Update for hardware drivers as most of them are total train wrecks and make blood shoot out of your eyes. If and I mean IF you feel compelled or must due to necessity update hardware drivers, PLEASE do so at the Original Equipment manufacturers website. That is JMHO --

That is JMHO I did the video card driver update once from WU and i promised myself that would be my last, totally agree with you. by the way, flash player works on every sites in IE8 and Firefox 3.5 except Metacafe, but can play it's clips in stand alone Flash player. i would like to get it play both in IE8 and Firefox 3.5 --
