James2 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I am grasping at straws now, but does anyone have any experience with installing and running the Adobe Flash Player 10 on Windows 7 (32 bit )?Plenty of info on the net but still no luck!

crossy67 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 NO! Don't do it. It is buggier than a buggy thing. I have not installed it on any of my computers after having loads of trouble with one of the ones in work. After do a bit of reading up on it it seems there are problems afoot especially with Vista and XP, not sure about 7 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James2 Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hi crossv67,Is there an alternative? Most video clips are asking to download Flash but when it is downloaded nothing runs!By the way we are at SAINT PRIVA des Pres Regards James2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossy67 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Sorry, I have no idea what the Spanish bit is (if it is Spanish lol). I stuck with the old flash player, 9 I suppose you'd call it. It is a bit of a pain because you keep getting asked to up date every couple of days but better to decline and have a computer that works. My wife installed flash 10 on her work pc and nothing would run so I un-installed it and went back to an older version. I can't remember if I managed to find it on the net or from an old disk I had knocking round. I did a bit of reading up before going back to the old flash player and it seems there are a heck of a lot of people that are having issues. Guess as it's a free ware no one gives a toss about fixing the problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenniswitch Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I've installed it on 3 machines, one XP and two Win7 64-bit machines. Except for having to use the 32-bit IE on the Win 7 machines for the install, we've had no problems with or from FP 10.Are you sure you used the 32-bit IE for the install?

James2 Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 Hi Pachapapa,Carried out Adobe Flash Player Uninstall first and then followed your instructions and FP successfully installed.Unfortunately the situation remains the same, there is no way of running the program!

pachapapa Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 [quote user="James2"]Hi Pachapapa, Carried out Adobe Flash Player Uninstall first and then followed your instructions and FP successfully installed. Unfortunately the situation remains the same, there is no way of running the program! Regards James2[/quote]It is not a programme as such but a plugin so videos etc appear on your internet browser and working within a windows environment; when required it is automatically activated; if not an error message will be generated requesting permission to download the plugin. It is there always in the background awaiting triggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachapapa Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Compare & Contrast Flash, Java, Java Script, Silverlight. Then Synthesise.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqjidzjkMM0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James2 Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 THANKS PACHAPAPA,Your last post led me to the solution, I did not enable Plug-ins in the Internet Options facility, with plug-ins enabled the flash player now works! Except for the annoying pop-up which keeps asking to allow ActiveX and Plug-ins to run, all is well. Thanks again for your help Regards James2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1steveuk Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Maybe I've been lucky, still no problems, though an IT friend of mine has said it can conflict with quite a few other programmes, maybe it's "luck of the draw" of what your running. Sorry that sounds a bit "I'm alright jack" don't mean it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
