Adobe Flash Player 10.1 Not Working For Firefox

Three days ago my FP stopped working last thing I did was download http://http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor/?ref=google_pctools_en&gclid=CI6s68uE6qMCFSFVgwodTRwP3Q  .

My Norton Anti-virus subscription ended and was looking for a free one to replace it with. Everything was working fine aftr the installation but I had not gone back online to surf the web until the following morning. As soon as I opened up Firefox it froze so i opened task manager to close it. That's when the FP stopped working. I keep getting the missing plug-in pop up saying I need Adobe Flash Player.

I have been looking in the forums and mostly everything is for IE I personally don't use it and would like to get FF running with FP properly.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled multiple times with restarting my computer after each time.

In my addons Adobe only shows up for Acrobat Reader. I have no ActiveX control and do not have DML installed.

Currently only firewall running is windows and I am the Admin for this laptop.

I also tried this links suggestion http://http://tutorial.downloadatoz.com/activate-flash-player-in-ie-firefox.html.

Currently in my aFlash folder i have:

FlashInstall                    Text Doc      87KB

flashplayer.xpt              XPT File      1KB

FlashUti10i_Plugin      App               228KB

NPSWF32                     DLL File        5,830KB   

I'am running:

Vista 32Bit

Firefox 3.6.8

Shockwave Player 11.5

Any help is very much appreciated and look forward to any suggestions.

Side note: My scroll bar is on my left side now do not know how to get it back on the right side.

    Hello,

    I am having the same trouble I went to use my Real Player and it says I need to download new software to play my clips. So, I click ok and it takes me to the Adobe Flashplayer site. I down load the program and my stem says it's installed. Still my Real Player will not work. I have tried rebooting. Down loading it again, and even in doing a search of my files I find nothing about it.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks Joni

    Hi joni, just real quick. You didn't provide any computer information so I couldn't help you. However this thread isn't about RealPlayer and I understand you are having problems with it. If you'll start your thread and list your info with your first post then someone will be able to help you. Be sure to list your browser info as well. When you first come to the Flash Forum thread, you'll see on the right hand side- Start a Discussion. Click on that and then follow the instructions.

    It just can get too confusing helping more than one person on one thread. Well, at least for me:-) I don't mind answering a couple of questions, but it can become more than that usually.

    I hope you understand, I don't mean to be rude and hope I don't sound that way.

    Thanks,

    Hi, I just read your info. I am going to take about a short break and then I'll be back on to help you. Don't do anything else yet. I see what part of the problem is so if you can just wait a bit.

    Thanks,

    I went back to the testing page http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/

    And for Shockwave Player I am getting a failed error.

    This was after trying the online install.

    As for FP still getting no movie to verfiy install or what version is installed.


    Hi, thanks for the screenshot. So there is no plugin for the version of Shockwave Player version 10 that you have. The latest version is 11.5.8.612 which you said you had the Installer for in your Doc folder.

    I want you to go here: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\SHOCKWAVE\ and see if Shockwave is there.

    Then I want you to go here: C:\Windows\system32\Adobe\Shockwave and see if Shockwave is there.

    Post back and tell me what is in either or both places.

    Thanks,

    eidnolb
