Re: Adobe Flash Player 11.3.3000.257

Why is the version in this thread title called 11.3.3000.257 while it is version 11.3.300.257 ?

 

Hey JR, no problem at all among friends!!! Not even about a zero
Thanks for fixing it

Tnx Bo, this was very confusing. I appreciate your response.
I have not been prompted to install Flash Player ACTIVE-X or Shockwave, so I guess I do not need it. I do not use IE9, but I do have Windows Live Mail. Looks as though it does not call for Flash Player Active-X, so I will leave things as is. I definitely do not have Shockwave installed. Tnx for the advise ... I will not be installing it either.

 

I just noticed that in about:crashes there's a whole lot of them since June 8, thanks to Flash Player. These must be silent crashes because Fx works okay. I tried to add ProtectedMode=0 in the mms.cfg file using Notepad but it won't let me change/add it. DUH! What am I doing wrong? Never had to use Notepad to change a file so am a complete noob what that is concerned.

 

Run notepad as an administrator.

 

Thanks! Is it safe to always run notepad as an administrator? I would like to know that before I make changes.

 

No, it isn't safe to always run it as administrator. Just run it this once.

 

Thanks Hungry Man! So if I rightclick notepad and give it administrative rights will this action give permanent admin rights to notepad or just this once when adding ProtectedMode=0 to the mms.cfg file? TIA

 

If you run it as admin it'll just do it this one time.

 

Thank you Hungry Man for helping me. However, I could not get it to work okay. Must be doing something wrong here. I'm mostly self taught and just have Win 7 for a short while. I didn't have any problems going into notepad on XP though to change things. Perhaps I better leave it the way it is and hope that Fx or Adobe FP will correct it soon. Struggling with the administrative thingy.

 

Thank you JRViejo. Sorry to take so long to respond. I just couldn't get it to work. I called Dell for help this morning and they fixed it for me since I have Pro support from them. The IT Tech couldn't do it either the way it was recommended. Turns out the mms.cfg file had to be copied to the desktop to allow the additional line to be added in and to be copied back - replaced - into the Macromed/Flash folder. The IT Tech told me I can call back if same file needs to be reverted back again to it's previous state. Hopefully the above explanation will help someone else with the same problem.

 

Nice! Thanks!

 

The fix seems to be for crash on quit. My Flash worked fine but I saw numerous silent crashes in Firefox Crash Reports since Flash was updated to the latest version. To stop these silent crashes the ProtectedMode=0 in mms.cfg in Flash was added. That worked. After Fx latest 13.0.1 update I deleted the 3rd line in Flash, went to youtube and quit Firefox. Checked the Firefox Pending and Submitted Crash Reports and none were added. So far so good. Will keep an eye on it though.
