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.
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?
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!
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.
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.
I have been having problems actually opening the adobe website for the past 4 weeks.I realise that macromedia redirects to adobe and so therefore I also have problems there.Fortunately I managed to reinstall my adobe reader and flash installers from a cd.When I type in the address, after it seems to have searched for a while I get the seasearch from MSN that says the site does not exist and asks if i meant to go to adobe.com! On clicking any links to adobe I just get the page cannot be displayed message!The odd thing is that after I reinstalled the adobe reader from the cd, it came up with 3 updates from the website and I installed them.I am running Windows XP, and have run AVG and adaware scans with no problems. I also run zone alarm (adobe is allowed, must be else it wouldn't have updated itself?)
Whenever I load a website in Opera with anything that uses flash, macromedia flash player to be exact, the screen flickers and turns hazy/fuzzy. Nothing is effected performance wise, but it's really annoying. I know Iexplorer supports the newest flash and shockwave pllayers, but are they supported in Opera? I tried downloading the newest version of the flash player, but that didn't help. I don't have this problem with internet explorer, but of course I don't want to use it...
I have managed to open up a game running on Macromedia Flash Player 7 and that game has now become a permanent icon on my desktop which has attached itself to the top of the screen. I can make it very small so it is basically out of the way but it has changed some other desktop icon settings as well and no matter where I go to correct the settings, I cannot get rid of the game or get my settings back to normal. I feel like I've done everything I know how to do which is considerable - but this one has me baffled. I am running Windows XP (Home Edition) on a new emachine.
When I load certain websites with flash ads and such, everything goes smoothly, untill the flash object loads and starts playing - once it loads the screen flickers and gets kind of hazy. Nothing is really effected or harmed, but the slight haziness/fuzziness is rather anoying. Once I exit the web browser, everything goes back to normal. It doesn't matter whether I'm using Iexplorer or Opera, so I'm thinking it is directly related to the Macromedia flash player.
Everytime i leave my computer for a few minutes, I get a pop-up error message that reads "Could not find the Macromedia Flash". I've done google searches to find a solution but nothing!! Thanks in advance!!
I can't get the streaming videos to work when viewing pages from the internet. I have installed QuickTime 7.0.3. Instead of seeing the videos, a faded QuickTime symbol with a question mark appears. I am assuming that there is a plug-in problem, but can't seem to get it to work. I tried reinstalling Macromedia Flash as well, but it does not install properly. I get an error message asking me to make sure I am connected to the internet, when I already am.
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.
