I really don't know much else to suggest as my understanding of SW evidently is limited!!
If you go to this site: Do you still get that message about the Xtras? Also are you using the 32bit browser and not the 64bit browser? You problably are, but just wanted to ask so I know.Īlso I read that the "slim" version does not Install the Xtras. I really don't understand if in order to Install SW Player, the Xtras are needed, then why isn't it clear on how that is accomplished? Talk about best kept secrets:-) Hi, LOL about walking away!! Remind me not to try helping on the Shockwave Player forum!!!! I have read several of the threads on that forum, but from what I could tell, it is mostly devoted to Developers that use the Adobe Director and not to end users that simply want to Install SW.
It is vs 11.5.7.609 and I have not bothered to update to the latest, since I use my Desktop 95% of the time. My laptop had been set up by someone else, so I don't have first hand knowledge of how it was done. I have more links to search, and will do so asap. If you want, you can see if you can find anything on the forum(the link I posted to you instead of the Uninstaller link) I need to go out for awhile and will continue when returning. I'm sure if this is needed for the end user and isn't Installed with the main program, then there is a way to Install it. There may be a way to separately Install this, so far what I have read was given for a Developer creating content with Director. It was included and Installed with the version 10 of SW. You may want to check yours and see if you have the same.įrom what I have found so far, is that the "Xtras" came with the version of 11. Did you see my SW file info that I have on my laptop? Glad you have both of the Shockwave Player addons/plugins. Just as soon as I check my laptop SW info, I'll get back to you.
I don't know about that but that could have been something included in the Sept 2010 changes. This is the correct link: (Just in case you need it) I wouldn't do anything further with this until we see where you are. I'm sorry, that was the link for the forum! Good grief! I just noticed that in my post to you on the link that I said was for the Uninstaller, was WRONG!! I have all of my Shockwave Player info in a folder and clicked on the wrong link. Look in your manage addons (plugins for FF) for Shockwave ActiveX Control and see if it is there,Įnabled and if the version # matches the version you just Installed. Now, Shockwave Player has an addon just as Flash Player does in the browser. I don't have it on my Desktop, which is my work computer.Īfter all of that you managed to Install it and it's in Programs & Features. There were changes made in Sept 2010 I made note of them, but didn't read the why of it, etc. I just checked my laptop and I DO have Shockwave Player Installed! I'll do some checking on that and get back to you. Sounds quite confusing to me and I don't know why. Hi, sorry you are having problems with this. I'll try to find that info for you.ĭid you Install the 64bit Flash Player beta before? And did you use the 32bit to Install the last time?
From memory there is a directory that Microsoft or Windows makes. Pat had a tip for someone and I'll try to find it. I have never used it myself but it is somewhat technical. It is not now that something is conflicting, it's that Flash Player did not Install. Something blocked the Install, that is clear. So you would need to remove them manually or disable at the least. One or more may also be in the FF plugins/addons/extensions. Usually by removing the DLM from Programs & Features also removes these addons. You can go to IE in the addons and see if there is a get_atlcom Class, getplus or a DLM control listed. If either or both are listed, click on Remove and when that is finished, Reboot. Take a look in Programs & Features for it and or a getplus entry. The DLM(download manager) causes problems. Well that explains why Flash Player is not working, it isn't Installed!!! Sorry, don't mean to be blunt.
