My computer, which has IE and Windows XP, somehow lost Flash player 8 and Shockwave last week. Graphics, pictures and streaming videos do not show up anymore. Many pages which have graphics are simply blank boxes. I tried to use my restore function on my computer and reset the computer to before this all happened and when I go to the restore page all I see is a white page with no words.On Macromedia's website, I try and download Flashplayer and Shockwave where it says to click but after that I see nothing but a blank page. It seems need these programs to even download them! Which is really getting my upset!I had a tech person from Yahoo help me with my all my computer settings and they are all set the way they should be. But I still cannot obtain Flash and Shockwave at all!
We use the basic solitare program and a Yahoo card game program and for the last few months the program stalls-just about 5 seconds--Cards freeze and then progress--sometimes it happens infrequently and sometimes a few times in a few minutes. Is there something I can do or is something broken?
To reinstall the shockwave flash:You must be logged on as Administrator or as a member of the Administrators group in order to perform this procedure.Click Start , click Run , and then type the following command: %systemroot%inf. There are no spaces at all in the preceding command line. Click OK to open the INF folder. Locate the file swflash.inf Right-click the file, and then click Install . This will reinstall the files that Search needs to proceed normally. You will be asked to place your windows XP cd rom in the drive.
I have a CD that requires Shockwave to run. When I put the CD in the drive a message pops up saying I need to install Shock wave.So I went to their site and downloaded and installed shock wave.I inserted the disk again and the same message came up to install shockwave? (rebooted got same message)I know the disk works as runs OK in my other computer.I was wondering if there is some thing I need to activate in order for it to work. My operating system is XP home edition.
im installing macromedia shockwave player so that i can log on to habbo hotel but all i keep on getting is a blue triangle red square and green circle in the left hand corner of the screen.Ive tried to set it up manually but for the installation complete sign to show the shapes are there.
I am having trouble with downloading shockwave or flash 8. I have a linksys wireless router but the computer is directly connected to it. I have AVG free antivirus running. It downloads and is on the add/remove screen, but it won't work.
How to save shock wave files so don't repeat downloading? There are some .swf files that i would like to listen to again and again. But don't want to keep downloading them.I am still on dialup. Please, how can i save them on disk etc.?I searched for .swf files, but can't find the one just downloaded.
how to open a file with the shock wave flash object: I have the latest shockwave player and flash installed but cannot find a program to play certain files I have received.
i've been running windows xp and the latest version of flash on this computer for as long as i can remember. the only thing is, about a year ago my computer tended to restart itself when i tried to load a large flash/shockwave file on both ie and ff. some websites cannot cause it to crash at all, Internet, for instance, but other websites like gametrailers cause the problem in hand.i've tried installing and reinstalling them many times, but the problem persists to this day.if anyone could help me to resolve this.
Computer is windows xp.I am getting an error message when I play a game.Error message goes as follows shock wave movie playback has an error unable to continue.

every 3-5 minutes or so, the main window that i'm working in (doesn't matter which program im running, but usually firefox/msn messenger, etc..) stops being the "top" window, and instead goes to the background - as if i opened another internet explorer window on top of it.this "glitch" is always followed by something even more strange - the sound gets cut off, and if i check the meters in volume control i always find the "wave" meter to be on minimum, and i have to put it back in the middle.
All my desktop icons are missing ,start menu missing, only thing i could see is wallpaper on desktop right click is laso not working,i could only use ctrl+ alt+del to open task mgr and run a program what should i do to take them back.
i turned on my pc i got the error XP Could not start, the following file is missing or corrupt: I run Microsoft Windows home service pack 2Also, to complicate things, My computer is lacking a disk drive, so i only have access to USB ports.
I have fixed this problem in the past in repair mode and i want to do the same with this, but, there is no filename at the end of the statement see below Windows could not start because the following file is corrupt or missing windowssystem32configsystem Can this be fixed in repair mode without having to be reformated or reimaged.
When I turn on comp. get the mssg: Windows couldn't start following file missing <Windows root>/system32/hal.dll Reinstall copy of file Recovery does not work. Tried to boot from a cd (changed BIOS to cd as 1st boot device) with win xp setup boot disk downloaded from MS site. Get same error mssg.
I have noticed that when I run "msconfig" that my Boot.InI tab is missing. This is how I used to put my computer in Safe Mode (now I have to use F8 method) I was wondering was there anyway to get this tab back and what possibly could I have done to delete it?
I had a search on this problem and realise it's prevalent but I haven't found anything that solves the problem yet.A few days ago I had the missing hal.dll problem come up. I went through various 'fixes' without any luck. However in the end I was able to reinstall XP Pro and keep the files from the previous install.Today, however, I'd left my PC for a bit and when I came back I put in a CD I wanted to look at but when I used explorer to look at the CD drive it only showed files from the previous CD i had in. Then suddenly I got a message saying something about input/output. The PC froze and I had to reset. I got an error message along the lines of missing NTLDR file.
So my sister gets hold of a computer in the house and ruins it, and here is the dilemma I am facing: I turn on the computer and right away i come to this message.... Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: windowssystem32configSYSTEM Attempt to repair this file by starting Windows Setup using the Original CD-ROM. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair. So I enter the cd rom and press 'r' for repair, I choose C:windows, however before it can begin to repair it asks me for an 'Administration Password' which I have no idea of after many attempts. I do not want to have to format the pc since I have some very important files on it. Any help is appreciated.
My printer which I needed to run cleanspl.exe on my system, the tcpmon.ini file in my system32 dir is missing, is there anywhere I can dl this file from as I need my printer back on-line.
Each time I log in to IE 7, (version 7.0.5730.11) I get the following message:"Internet Explorer is currently running without add-ons". All Internet Explorer add-ons, such as ActiveX controls or toolbars, are turned off. Some webpages might not display correctly.To continue to your home page, click the Home button.To browse using add-ons, close Internet Explorer and then start it again." (does nothing)When I check under "Tools" and see "Manage Add Ons", it is gray and cannot be opened. I suspect I may have inadvertently removed a file when I last ran RegScrub XP, but I can find no way to fix this situation, so that I again go directly to my home page when starting IE. This all started after I downloaded the Dogpile toolbar, which I've since uninstalled.
I was trying to solve a problem I was having with startup today..and I opened my computer (Windows 200 Pro. HP computer) and lo and behold. I found my 2 auxilary and backup drives...no problem..not quite what I needed..but then I go looking for my Main C: drive....and it's gone? I checked the whole thing, found the CD-RW drive, CD-r drive, extra device storage and floppy devices....and both of those extra dives..mother board, power supply, and the fans...but that main drive still eludes me.
helped a friend reinstall windows xp using the symantec restore option in her dell dimension 2400, F11 + ctrl keys, alls well but the dvd rom isn't showing in hardware manager or my computer. not sure where 2 go from there. have googled but other than tons of threads, haven't found a real solution yet. she's technically challenged, so doubt she will take the cover off 2 see if any cables have come loose
