First I had used the flash uninstal tool from adobe and successfully removed the older version of flash player

I thought I downloaded flash player 10 version 10.0.45.2, but when I go into my browser IE7 and look at the manage add ons,

I see Shockwave Flash Object as an Active X Control File Flash10e.ocx

But when I check the version tab in the manage add ons part of IE7 it says version 10.0.42.34

Now when I check elsewhere on my computer I see the following:

Under the Vista version of add/delete programs I only have

Adobe Flash player 10 Acyive X version 10.0.45.2

In C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash I only have

Flash10e.ocx and FlashUtil10e.exe

In C:\Windows\DownloadProgramFile I only have

Shockwave Flash Object 10.0.45.2

When I go to www.adobe.com/software/flash/`about it says

"You have version 10.0.45.2" and the little animation thing shows successful

So why does the "version" in IE7 Manage add-ons show Active X Control Shockwave flash object as Flash10e.ocx but with version number 10.0.42.34?

OK, solved problem of non-working websites by going to control panel, and add/remove programs, and removing the ActiveX control and then doing another install. Appears that unless I do this via the control panel, the problem keeps recurring.

(IE tools, manage add-ons still does not display a versin number for Flash10e.ocx, but at least all those non-functioning websites are working again.)

Hi HPN, thanks for posting back. Glad you have it solved. Sorry for the confusion on the thread. I have a desktop with quite a few screen shots that the users have sent me that I have assisted. IE8, IE7, IE6, MAC, old versions and new,

Windows XP, Vista(all 4 versions) and Win7. Many times the Shockwave Flash Oject version # is never listed.

Just a FYI for future use. When someone offers advice, click on their name and you can see when they registered and what thread they have replied on and whether they registered to just reply to other threads, or did they start their own thread. You can see then the content of their posts and any replies they have received and make a better judgment on the advice they are giving you. You can also see the date they registered and that will give you an indication on how long they have been on the forum.

As on any public forum, you have inexperienced people giving suggestions and advice. And sadly, many register and offer malicious advice as well. As long as I am on the forum and see this, you can be sure that I will respond. I don't appreciate anyone giving advice that will create more grief than the person asking for help already has and I will certainly let it be known to that person giving it.

Regards,

eidnolb- You are very good at helping on here, and I do not want tio make it appear that I am not grateful

But For the record, I offered no advice. I merey asked HPN to look at something. I take offense if you are insinuating that I'm offering advice.

Also for the record, I do think it is somewhat important that the file and the version number match up.

It would seem to me if this many people have problems everytime ADOBE offers an update for Flash, then ADOBE should really have some of their staff on here to also offer help. Such as the other vendor forums (Norton,Malwarebytes, etc)

I'm also experiencing something weird going on with the version of the 10.0.45.2 update.

After installing, I too get Adobe reporting that I'm using version 10.0.45.2, however, a lot of web sites I visit now pop up a warning that Flash 8 or later is required to access the site. They no longer seem to be able to recognize the Flash version that is running.

This happens only on IE7, everything works fine with Firefox, Safari, and Opera.
