Undo your End of Life

If you don't want to support Flash Player, that's fine.  But don't lock us out of it.

I have a prefectly good screen saver that I enjoyed.  The only reason it doesn't work now if because you won't allow it too.  [It requires Adobe Flash Player Active X to run.]  That's WRONG.  Disabling Flash Player on everyone's machine is EXACTLY the type of security breach you claim to be against, yet you are performing it yourselves.

I still use Microsoft Word 2003.  I still use my Nintendo Entertainment System.  I should be allowed to used any Flash Player based programs if I want to.  You are the only one's stopping it.  Your obstinant "the customer is always wrong" attitude is ruining things for many.

You created this problem.  It is your duty to find a solution.  Create a program that will allow people to use Flash programs without the security issues.  If you can't, license it to someone who will.  There are many people who consider Adobe the enemy of every computer user.  They'll risk using third-party software just to continue to play the games and use the screen savers they enjoy.


I enjoyed the screen saver I now can no longer use.  And I have no way to contact the one who created it to make a new version.

Congatulations: you've spread sadness in the name of security.

You didn't even ask us how we feel.  You just decided that you know what's best.  In this case, you were ABSOLUTELY WRONG!

Just undo the lock out and let those who want to use the program continue to used it.  I'm not trying to use it in a browser, just on my desktop for local files. 

Yes there's a possible security risk, but there's a risk every time you swipe your credit card at any store.  Should we lock everyone out of shopping?

How would you feel if General Motors locked you out of your car (and that can be done on newer high end models if they wanted to).  What if Verizon locked you out of your smart phone with all of your family photos on it with no way to retrieve them?

Adobe: you have the power to correct this.  You just have to decide to do it.

Note: I was trying to file a complaint to Adobe.

I want to continue to use files that require Flash Player.  I should not be prevented from doing so.  Or, create a conversion program of some kind: something that can convert .swf files or other file types to files that will work in a newer player.  The content is what I really want.
