Windows Flash 9 (Latest Version) fix.

Report · Dec 11, 2007

Hi,

I recently discovered a way to fix the problem until Adobe sorts it out, and it isnt hard to do.

It will fix:

No-clicking of download button
Silent install problems (on the web page)
No installation on webpage.*
No activex on webpage*
No gold bar on webpage*
and hopefully other problems (the ones I've not experience on my computers)

* when the webpage seems dead (no internet traffic between you and the website.

1. Download the latest Uninstaller from the Flash site
2. Go to Start > Run and type 'cmd' and press enter
3. Make sure the uninstaller is in your My Documents, if it is on the desktop type 'cd Desktop'
4. Type 'uninstall_flash_player.exe /clean'
5. Once completed, close installer.
6. Download this file: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/ts/documents/tn_19166/Install_Flash_Player_9_ActiveX.zip
7. Install this version of Flash Player 9
8. Go back to the Flash install page
9. Accept the agreement
10. Flash will install properly now and will update the version you have just installed to the latest version)

I hope this helps, please note that the above was done using a Windows XP Pro SP2 machine, the instructions may differ for 98/ME/2000 or Vista (ie the command prompt etc)

Enjoy,
Sephz0r.

3. Select Low from the drop-down box
