Default Are we out of the flashplayer activex

What's going on with those of us with the XP (x64 in my case)? I can't
download the flash lpayer online and haven't been able to for a long time.
Now I have a downloaded manual install flash player. I keep getting the
message it's old. I can't find the updated on to download for manual install
anywhere on adobe's site. Is anyone else having this problem? I guess our
days are numbered.

If you're looking for version 207, you might try something
from this set. Try the "_ax.exe" one if you need ActiveX.

Using the last link, you can query what the current version
is, then modify the URL to select a matching version for download.

Netscape, Seamonkey

http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flas...ash_player.exe

Older versions of Internet Explorer which don't have built-in flash

http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flas..._player_ax.exe

An uninstaller (if it was really broken or something)

http://download.macromedia.com/get/f...ash_player.exe

Test page, so you can check the version number on it.

HTH,

IE8?
Do you want the newest Flash or one that just works?
I use version 18.0.0.375 in SM and FF.

How did you pick that version? Or was it just by chance?
I do note that the newer the version, the the larger the file (as a general
rule), which is par for the course.

I thought that most sites were going away from Flash and over to HTML5?

Cute kitty vids may be moving to html5 but the US Federal, State,
Local gov, and industry sites use flash (including my own employer's sites).
The fuel for your vehicle and home heating is brought to you using Flash.
V.18 is the last one that works with my SM 26 or FF27 combined with
ZoneAlarm 9.2.102. Examples:

207 seems to be the latest version. I am guessing it's an activex
control. But I don't know. if not it was at one time. 23_a seesm to be what
"get.adobe..." wnts me to have. But it doesn't want to download. IDK what's
going on. If anyone else has this problem I am wondering what they did.

23.0.0.207 is the latest flash.
Active X is for IE.
PAPPI is for Chrome & Opera.
NPAPI is for FF.

I have flash 22(.0.0.209) on my XPSP3 PC. and it functions with an older
browser. It still says it needs updating, but then fails to do so.
(connection Error, possibly due to my firewall timing out the download)

3rd and 4th are ok. 5th could use some work.
But even the 5th is better than most other cities poor sections.

I can download any version, save to disk, then install as needed.
I can't quite figure out what you are trying to do and what errors
for what you are getting.

This one would be for Firefox.

http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flas...ash_player.exe

About the only way you could screw this up,
is by installing the 64-bit version of
Firefox or something. Even though you have
a 64-bit OS, sometimes for plugin reasons
it is better to use the bog-standard 32 bit
Firefox version. If you don't make a special effort,
you may be offered the 32 bit version of Firefox
when you download a copy. But you can go to the
download site and manually get the 64 bit version.

I expect Adobe has made some provision for 64-bit
browsers, but I don't know that for a fact.

Paul
