FlashPlayer version doesn't display on FireFox or Internet Explorer
I have memory problems on HP Desktop, and recently ended up uninstalling FlashPlayerPlugin_11_5_502
So I again uninstalled 11_5_502_146 then installed that latest version, 11.6.602.168. But this doesn't display on FF 18.0.2 nor on IE-9.08*. It DOES however, display on Chrome-24.0* and Opera-12.14.
What's going on here ?
Machine specs
Windows 7 Ultimate, upgraded from Vista Home Premium, SP 2
HP, Model a6600f
Processor Intel Pentium Dual CPU E220 @ 2.2Ghz
4.0 GM RAM
I don't use Chrome because I keep getting the Shockwave crash thing (despite fixing it according to this)
I still need to vacuum and replace my memory sticks, but why wouldn't the Flash version display on FF or IE ? I even re-booted.

jcimarron, looks to me like I have the right Flash Player Plugin for FF . . .

joewinograd,
in the Adobe thread, it suggests to adjust "Download and Recording" option in RealPlayer, but that option doesn't exist in my RP-v.16.0.0.282 (it only has "Recording" and the options there don't match the Adobe video).
Adobe's last resort is to revert back to 11.2 or "Â temporarily disable Protected Mode", but "We strongly recommend that Protected Mode is manually enabled once this issue is resolved."
- so this is a temporary issue.
So I think I will just suffer through this for a bit and see how things work on other browsers. I just played a video in FF and it was jumpy but it played cleanly on IE-9.

William,
Your call, of course, but I went with the ProtectedMode=0 fix. Would be interesting to know if it works for you. You could try it for a few minutes...test it a bit after putting in the line...then remove the line (whether or not it works). Regards, Joe

Joe,
I added the "Protected Mode" line to mms.cfg. I played the video and it seemed ok. Also, at the moment, the Flash Player / firefox seem quiet . . . we'll see.

William,
Sounds good...thanks for running the test. Will be interesting to see how it continues to go. Regards, Joe

William,
I have almost no personal experience with Flash on IE. I use IE only for certain apps that require ActiveX, so I don't use it for Flash, although I just tested it and it works fine (IE9 on W7/64-bit). Maybe this Microsoft article will help you:

ok, good, thanks. it still doesn't show the Flash version using IE-9 (32-bit). But still this is another option to see how memory works - FF still kept sucking everything out.
I hear you on the memory issue...same thing here with Firefox...and with Chrome...big memory gobblers...and probably leakers.
ASKER
hmmm . . . well I do have to get new memory sticks but sounds like that won't be the end of it, maybe just my BSOD's . . . I've given up on Chrome at home due to "Shockwave has crashed" (even though I've fixed it), and it's also a bit flaky at work.
I also have the Shockwave problem in Chrome, but it doesn't bother me much because I do nearly all of my browsing in FF.
ASKER
ok, well, it's good to know it's not totally my machine . . . will keep fine-tuning . . . thx
