There are all sorts of tricks that programmers pursue and, sometimes, they do not work out, especially when it comes to tweaking code to squeeze out that little extra.
Guest Timothy Daniels Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Re: Flash Player I also had trouble with websites with Flash presentations that started last December after updating my Flash player. It froze up both my IE v.6 and my Opera browsers. Updating Opera didn't help the Opera frreze-ups. Even the Flash presentations on the Adobe website were crashing my browsers, and especially the Flash presentation at http://www.Kingwin.com . What I always got was an error reporting an invalid push command. (I have a PII CPU running at 450MHz, made in January, 1999). So I joined the growing chorus of complainers about Flash player. Then, about 3 weeks ago, I noticed that the Adobe website no longer crashes my browsers, although the Kingwin site still crashes both of them. I theorize that Adobe has made a change in its editor, and not until the update permeates to all the web's Flash developers and those developers re-generate their Flash presentations with the updated Flash editor will my browsers be able to render Flash at all websites. *TimDaniels* "JustUs" wrote: >I have read previous posts on Flash Player, tried many of the suggestions, > still having issues. > > Used the Adobe uninstall, reinstalled v9.0.124, still not working on some > sites. > Uninstalled, tried v8.0.24, still not working on some sites. > Uninstalled, tried v9.0.16, still not working on some sites. > Uninstalled, reinstalled 9.0.124 > Tried installing KB917344, not working on some sites. > > IE6 is OK > Firefox is OK > IE7 setting appear to be OK per the posts > Tried the script suggested in this post by Jon - > http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/newsgroups/reader.mspx?query=flash+player&dg=microsoft.public.windowsxp.general&cat=en-us-ms-winxp&lang=en&cr=US&pt=&catlist=B0DE109D-10E1-4C3C-BCC9-8EB7A22FC6A0&dglist=&ptlist=&exp=&sloc=en-us > > Two particular sites that have issues are http://www.lowes.com (weekly ads) and > eBay (sample item 130233686527) > > I have yet to hear from Adobe - weeks now :( > > Any other suggestions would appreciated. > >
Guest JustUs Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Re: Flash Player Yes, I have contacted both of the sites and they tell me that it works fine ;) I guess the temporary solution is to use Firefox for the sites that I know Flash doesn't work on.

Guest JustUs Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Re: Flash Player Thanks for the reply. I am inclined to agree with you in part. But when I reverted to v8 I still had the problem. Maybe I will try v6 or 7 to see what works. However, keep in mind that there are no current issues with IE6. So it appears to me that the issue, or a part of it, lies with IE7. Thanks for the reply.

After all, the webpage was written for their site and the programmer would not have gotten paid if it had failed under these circumstances. But this outcome also reminds me of a situation encountered here where the web server was a Macintosh and the webpage was tweaked for IE 4.0. Ran perfectly in all the Macintoshes at the location but did it ever run into problems with Netscape 4.X in all of the Windows-PC machines. (Being a Mac shop, they did not even have a Wintel machine just to do a thorough check.) The end result was that the programmer had to re-do the entire webpage in pure HTML without using any of the IE (or other) short-cuts and plug-ins.

Guest JustUs Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 RE: Flash Player - SOLUTION RE: Flash Player - SOLUTION I did not know that there was a "RESET" or repair feature incorporated in the IE7 menu. Go to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced and click reset at the bottom. All you add-ons will be disabled. Go back and enable the ones you want. Flash Player now works on all sites, and sites asking to upgrade IE now work as well. Amazing MS had the solution all along - hmmmmm.
