Adobe Flash Player 10 Fix for WinXP and Vista, IE7, IE8, Firefox, ect.(New Fast Fix)

I would recommend all users having problems try the above solution first.

I have posted this on a couple of websites, and so far it has fixed everyones problems.

Firefox 3.5 Beta 4 has Adobe Flash Player coding built into the browser so that it not only loads faster but works better.

You still need to have the Adobe ActiveX plug-in and Adobe Flash Player for both browsers.

I would also recommend you download Shockwave Player 11.

IE8 has tried this as well, but it still has a couple bugs in it.

If you have IE8 or FireFox 3.5 Beta 4, and you are still having problems, then I recommend that you go to www.windowsupdate.com and get all of the latest updates (including SP3), then try this fix again.

Your auto-updater built into windows (If you even have it on) doesn't always pull down every update available for your computer. It only pulls down the manditory ones.

Sometimes you HAVE to go to the website and manually get them yourself. I recommend when you go to the website, you click on custom install and pick every last one of them to install, which includes, hardware and software fixes for your computer.

What a lot of people don't know is that when you have installed and tried all of the recommended fixes that Adobe gives you, and it still doesn't work, is that you are having registry conflicts within your Operating System (OS ex. WinXP, Vista, Linux, ect.), and that it is not the Adobe software at all.

Those are usually repaired by making sure your computer stays up to date.

The fact is the computer world is changing so rapidly that everyone can't keep up. You have to check for updates weekly.

If you fall behind on those updates, then you start having problems with your computer and/or software.

One problem then can turn into many and people get frustrated when something all the sudden just quits working.

Take a day or two at least once a month, and make sure you update and maintain your computer.

This includes disk defragmenting, disk cleanup, and making sure you have all the lastest updates.

You can get to Disk Defrag, and Disk Cleanup by going to Start, All Programs, Accessories, then to System Tools.

I would do Disk Cleanup first, then Defrag.

I hope you take this advise into consideration, and that it is very helpful for you.

If you find this useful, please come back and reply to this forum, and let everyone know so that others will be encouraged to do this.

Thanks and goodluck, from another user like you.

For those of you STILL having problems, try downloading this Codec file for all of your video codec needs.

I know that for a lot of you even after all of these suggestions, you may still be having problems. Not all of you are above average users. Each individual has unique circumstances. A lot of times, each problem is simply fixed, but you can only do so much, with the relevant information that you give us. Sometimes it's as simple as one change to a program, or the removal of it, or maybe even an update. Sometimes you actually have to go digging through the registry (I DO NOT ADVISE YOU DO THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOUR DOING!!!), to fix a simple error. I would love to fix every last one of your computers, but in order to do that, I would have to be at your computer to evaluate the situation. Not all of you know even what to look for to tell others, so that they can figure out your problems. Hard to fix something, if you don't know all the parameters of each individual machine. There is a common ground to every computer, and OS, but every machine's registry can vary greatly, depending on the user preferences, and programs. For that reason, I can not fix every last computer/flash problem that is brought to my attention, as much as I have said, that I would like to. I hope that those who read this can understand. A lot of people can learn a lot more about their problems, and about their computer, just by doing some simple research. I don't mean you have to be an expert, but it does help to know a few things, so that you know what to, and what not to do. I would like to thank all those who do try to help, and I wish good luck to those in need of help.

How to make a Vista admin account work like it does in XP:

Vista With full administrative access rights (full control)…

* On Windows Vista Business, Enterprise or Ultimate:

1. Click Start, type secpol.msc in the search box, then press Enter
2. From the list to the left, choose Local Policies, then Security Options
3. Set Accounts: Administrator account status to Enabled
4. Set User Account Control: Admin Approval Mode for the Built-in Administrator account to Disabled

* On Windows Vista Home Basic or Home Premium:

1. Click Start, type cmd in the search box, right click on the program cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator
2. In the command prompt window, type net users Administrator /active:yes then press Enter, you should receive a confirmation saying; The  command completed successfully
3. Click Start, type regedit in the search box, then press Enter
4. Navigate to the section: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
   • Double click FilterAdministratorToken and set it to 0
5. Next, logoff and you will see a new Administrator account is available. Login to this new Administrator account

Your now logged in to Windows Vista with full administrative rights. You will not receive any security prompts like before and you should have complete administrative rights to your machine. I recommend you only use this admin account for major program installs, and changes to your machine. The reason for this is so that if you make a mistake on the user account, it can be deleted, or an attempt to repair it is possible, where as you make a mistake to the admin account, it's possible it will be unrepairable, and or if you need to access an admin account to fix the user account, you won't be able to using strictly the admin (of the OS) account.

Well, I'll continue to work on it. Vista is one of those systems that looks good on the outside but is a P.I.T.A. on the inside. Your welcome. Just have to narrow down the possibilities.

For those of you who read this, that fix about the admin account on Vista DID work. Here is the link to the discussions. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/431156?tstart=0
