Solve : Vista and Adobe Flash...grrrr? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>My <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/daughter-944718" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DAUGHTER">DAUGHTER</a> has a Compaq P4-brand new with Vista installed. She's downloaded, installed <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/adobe-12925" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ADOBE">ADOBE</a> Flash, uninstalled, reinstalled...none of the flash sites work-it keeps asking her to download and install Adobe Flash. Is this a "Vista" bug? Thank you in advance. I went over last night and had same problems...just will not run flash content and keeps prompting for installing. <br/><br/>There are known issues with the latest flash...<br/><br/><a href="http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/documentLink.do?micrositeId=MS_Customer&externalID=tn_12727">Travel Here</a> and have her run the uninstaller and then DLoad and install the latest version...Quote from: patio on November 22, 2007, 12:02:47 PM</p><blockquote>There are known issues with the latest flash...<br/><br/><a href="http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/documentLink.do?micrositeId=MS_Customer&externalID=tn_12727">Travel Here</a> and have her run the uninstaller and then DLoad and install the latest version...<br/></blockquote><br/>Just a warning to all Vista users...though IE 7 may be a contributing culprit. Having treid a dozen times to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/uninstall-7273166" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about UNINSTALL">UNINSTALL</a> Flash and reinstall (even using Adobe's uninstall program/fix) Flash would still not work. Solution was to reformat and reinstall Vista and then, before doing anything, install all of the IE7 add-ons. Following that, download critical updates from Microsoft. <br/><br/>The fun part was that this new Compaq came with Vista pre-installed. I used the OEM disc for the very first time and Microsoft would not let me authenticate or register online...I had to call. "Mandy" (not her real name-trust me on that) was nice to start with until I told her that, "No, this disc is not installed on another computer, I am reinstalling due to a problem with Vista running add-ons in IE7". She had me hold while she called a supervisor...then we had to go through the explanation AGAIN. Microsoft does not like it when you tell them there is a software problem (unless you want to pay for <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/telephone-771845" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about TELEPHONE">TELEPHONE</a> support as I did ONE TIME after Xp was released).<br/>Everything now works well...so far ;-)<br/>I'm using Vista and never had a problem with Flash. I wonder if it's a Compaq issue.I suspect this was a Adobe issue. There was probably a registry key left (I think programmers should stop using the registry...) <br/><br/>I did have problems with Adobe once before on Vista, but it resolved itself. I suspect it was a registry conflict with Foxit. <br/><br/>Quote<blockquote>I did have problems with Adobe once before on Vista, but it resolved itself</blockquote>Strangely enough, exactly same thing happened to me. Once in a while web page was asking me to install latest Flash (which, obviously was installed already). I just clicked OK, and everything displayed fine, <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/aeuroewithout-1475023" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WITHOUT">WITHOUT</a> any extra install.<br/>After a while, problem disappeared by itself.charliebrown are you saying you followed the directions and ran the un-installer and still had issues ? ?</body></html> | |
