Windows Forum / Internet Explorer / General Topics / June 2007IE7 failure with Adobe Flash Player 9
I have three computers at home that I upgraded to IE7. On each of the computers quite frequently IE7 closes down with the message about Adobe Flash Player 9. Each time I send the report to Microsoft. This has been happening ever since I upgraded to IE7. I have MS automatic updates set-up on each computer as well. Is this a known issue that is being addressed for IE7 or is it an Adobe problem? I would like to also know about this. I have the Flash issue where flash will not stay installed. I see this is a serious error as a lot of people post on the net about it but there is no talk from MS about it. I have tried the uninstall/reinstall fix mentioned by everyone and it does not work. Does anyone here know of a solution for this issue? IE7 is the issue, not flash. I have even tried using flash player 8 and that doesnt fix it. This prolblem only started when I upgraded to IE7. Thanks, Rick > I have three computers at home that I upgraded to IE7. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Is this a known issue that is being addressed for IE7 or is it an Adobe > problem? You could try uninstalling and reinstalling flash - no guarantees 1. How to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player plug-in and ActiveX control http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14157 Due to recent enhancements with the Flash Player installers, you are now only able to uninstall by using the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller 2. Then get Flash here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ more info: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19166 or easy link: http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19166  Signature================================== TaurArian [MS-MVP] 2005-2007 - Australia ================================== http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm Need more help? http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=ph;en-us;6527 Get Safe online: http://www.getsafeonline.org/ (Links to web pages and MSKB Articles are posted for the purposes of keeping the information current) |I have three computers at home that I upgraded to IE7. | [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] | Is this a known issue that is being addressed for IE7 or is it an Adobe | problem? >I have three computers at home that I upgraded to IE7. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Is this a known issue that is being addressed for IE7 or is it an Adobe > problem? It's a Microsoft problem but nothing you can do about it. The problem arises from a recent 'update' and is the result of a 'spat' between Microsoft and a California organisation (Eolas) over a 'rights' issue. If you 'Google' you will find a comprehensive explanation (http://www.baekdal.com/articles/Technology/microsoft-ie-activex-update/). I understand if you uninstall the 'update' things should return as before. On the otherhand simply ditch IE7 and use Firefox which is unaffected. I can't remember the 'update' which caused the problem but you will find it if you 'Google' for 'IE7 and Flash problems'. What I find difficult to understand is the mis-information posted by the 'experts' (MVPs) on this matter, standard 'reinstall' and the like. Presumeably they don't want to place the issue at the door of Microsoft. >I have three computers at home that I upgraded to IE7. > > On each of the computers quite frequently IE7 closes down with the message > about Adobe Flash Player 9. > ... I get this sometimes as well and it's reported as a Flash9b.ocx fault. That's a Shockwave Flash Object that's loaded on demand. I think there's a problem sometimes when it first loads but after that the site works as it should. Here's what Event Viewer reports: Faulting application iexplore.exe, version 7.0.5730.11, faulting module flash9b.ocx, version 9.0.28.0, fault address 0x00099589. SignatureRegards Bob >>I have three computers at home that I upgraded to IE7. >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Faulting application iexplore.exe, version 7.0.5730.11, faulting module > flash9b.ocx, version 9.0.28.0, fault address 0x00099589. Really, and why is the problem limited to IE7? No the problem is due to a recent 'update' by Microsoft arising from a rights dispute with Eolas. Essentially the update has prevented Flash from loading in anmy of the IE versions. If you are really interested in tyhe 'nuts and bolts' just 'Google' for IE7 and Flash poroblems'. If you use Firefox you will find Flash loads when required. >>>I have three computers at home that I upgraded to IE7. >>> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> Faulting application iexplore.exe, version 7.0.5730.11, faulting module >> flash9b.ocx, version 9.0.28.0, fault address 0x00099589. | Really, and why is the problem limited to IE7? Because Microsoft was the only Browser maker that was sued by Eolas for this patent infringement. They knew Microsoft had deep pockets and thought they were going to make millions of dollars off Microsoft in Licensing Fees. But Microsoft decided they would change the way Objects such as Flash are handled when they are loaded directly from the Html content of a page to avoid having to pay these Fees, hence the subquent Patch for IE6 that your article refers to. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912945 | No the problem is due to a | recent 'update' by Microsoft arising from a rights dispute with Eolas. No, the problem the OP is having has no bearing what so ever on the issues surrounding Microsoft's settlement with Eolas and the sequent Patch that was issued for IE6 with regard to this settlement. The Patch for IE6 that was issued back in June of this year only affects the way you interact with Objects such as Flash when they are loaded directly by the Html file. Microsoft issued information to Web Developers well in advance of this Patch as to how Objects(such as Flash) now have to be loaded if they want the Object to instantiate in the Browser without having to click on the Object in the web page to activate them: http://msdn.microsoft.com/ieupdate/ | Essentially the update has prevented Flash from loading in anmy of the IE | versions. Again, you are incorrect. I have absolutely no problem with the new Flash Player Plug-in "Flash9b.ocx" loading in either IE Browser version here. On my machines it loads correctly in both IE6 and IE7. If you are getting a dotted line around Flash object(or for that matter any Object) in a Web page and a "Click to active" message when you hover your mouse over the object-it is because the site Developer has not taken the necessary steps to avoid this issue. With a fully patched version of IE6 or an Installation of IE7 out of the box, all Objects must now be loaded from external .js files on web sites now in order for them to be instantiated by the IE Browser, if they are loaded directly by the HTML file on the site then you will have to click on them to activate them. Microsoft, Adobe, and Quicktime have plently of information on how this new behavior for instanciating Objects in the Browser(IE6 fully patched, and IE7) along with methods for Web Developers to use to load Objects after this Browser change that took affect back on June: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/overvie w/activating_activex.asp http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/ http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html | If you are really interested in tyhe 'nuts and bolts' just | 'Google' for IE7 and Flash poroblems'. You are correct, but one need to look a lot farther than the Year Old Article that you are ascribing to in order to get to the "Nuts and Bolts". | If you use Firefox you will find | Flash loads when required. This is because they haven't yet been sued by Eolas, Firefox as well as all other Browsers that instantiate Objects loaded directly by the Html file are guilty of the same Patent Infringement, they just haven't been brought to court on this issue the way Microsoft has. My guess as to the OP's problem, is that there is an installation problem with either IE7, the Flash Plug, or both. Since this problem is not occuring for everyone-and again I iterate that I'm having now problem with the latest Flash9b.ocx player here on either IE6 or IE7-that the problem must be with his||her configuration. Happy Holidays, Donald Anadell > .... > My guess as to the OP's problem, is that there is an installation problem with either IE7, the Flash Plug, or both. In my case it is a fresh install of slipstreamed XP Pro SP2 with all the Windows updates. I am an experienced user of many years and it is not an installation problem but if it is a configuration problem that has arisen please enlighten us. SignatureRegards Bob Hi Bob, Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers with my remarks in this thread(if I did I certainly apologize for it), my only intention was to counter the remarks made by Edward W. Thompson regarding the Eolas settlement as being the root cause of any Flash Player problems being experienced with IE7. As I stated in my Reply, I'm using the latest Flash Plug-in Player "Flash9b.ocx" on two machines...one with XPSP2 IE6 installed on it, and the another machine with XPSP2 IE7 installed on it...and haven't experienced any random faults with loading the Flash player in the Browser as you've described. As far as I can tell, as long as "Flash9b.ocx" is located in the following folder on your system: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash And the following Registry Keys are all pointing to that file in that location: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{1171A62F-05D2-11D1-83FC-00A0C9089C5A}\InprocServer32 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}\InprocServer32 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D27CDB70-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}\InprocServer32 HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{D27CDB6B-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}\1.0\0\win32 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{1171A62F-05D2-11D1-83FC-00A0C9089C5A}\InprocServer32 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}\InprocServer32 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{D27CDB70-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000}\InprocServer32 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\TypeLib\{D27CDB6B-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}\1.0\0\win32 Then the Flash Plug-in Player is installed properly. My only problems with IE7 and the Flash Plug-in have arisen as a result of the new security feature in IE7 called "Cross-Domain protection feature". That problem arises when you try to click on a link that is linking directly to a Flash file on the web where the link is in the form of: http://some.server.com/some.swf In this situation, the .swf file will not render in the IE7 Browser and you get a script error on the status bar. This is caused by this new Cross-Domain protection feature, and the only option I've been able to find so far to avoid this issue is to Opt IE7 out of this new Cross-Domain protection feature. You'll find details on how to Opt IE7 out of this new feature in the following thread: "IE7 and swf files" Posted on Wed, 20 Dec 2006 17:38:57 by DaveM As to the random faulting problem that you and the OP are experiencing, I'm afraid I don't have any thing further to add at this point on what might be causing this, as I'm unable to reproduce the problem here. I do feel pretty comfortable saying that this problem you are experiencing doesn't appear to be a Global problem. Happy New Year, Donald Anadell >> .... >> My guess as to the OP's problem, is that there is an installation problem [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > problem but if it is > a configuration problem that has arisen please enlighten us. > Hi Bob, > [quoted text clipped - 63 lines] >> problem but if it is >> a configuration problem that has arisen please enlighten us. If what you say is correct, then why does Flash 'work' in Firefox and not with IE7. It would seem to me that if 'Flash' works as intended in Firefox then it is reasonable to assume it is installed corectly and the problem relates to the dispute between Eolas and Microsoft leading to the 'update' by Microsoft to address the issue. Perhaps I'm wrong and if so maybe you can tell me how to get Flash to work in IE7, it does work in Firefox and di work until I applied the Microsoft update. If you go to the Adobe Flash forum you will note that I am not alone in this. >> Hi Bob, >> [quoted text clipped - 65 lines] >>> problem but if it is >>> a configuration problem that has arisen please enlighten us. > If what you say is correct, then why does Flash 'work' in Firefox and not > with IE7. I share your frustration with this issue Edware, but Flash works perfectly well here with the IE6 Browser and IE7 Browser, with the latest Flash Player "Flash9b.ocx" installed. So it can||should work for you as well. I can only think of three reasons that it might not be working for you, a failed Flash Plug-in installation, a failed IE7 installation, a third party software conflict, or some combination of all three. >It would seem to me that if 'Flash' works as intended in Firefox then it is >reasonable to assume it is installed corectly and the problem relates to >the dispute between Eolas and Microsoft leading to the 'update' by >Microsoft to address the issue. It's not reasonable to assume this, if the new Flash Player Plug-in is working for me with IE7 installed(and I assume millions of others as well) then the problems you are experiencing are specific to your system and not Global in nature. >Perhaps I'm wrong and if so maybe you can tell me how to get Flash to work >in IE7, it does work in Firefox and di work until I applied the Microsoft >update. You could do the following first to make sure you have the latest version of the Flash Browser Plug-in and that it is installed properly. 1. Go to the following Adobe test site and see what version it tells you that you have installed. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_15507 If you have the latest Flash Player Plug-in installed (Flash9b.ocx....version 9,0,28,0)....you will see it indicated in the text box at this site: If it shows any version installed that is lower than version 0,0,28,0 then you do not have the latest Player version installed. 2. So if the test site shows that you any other version installed(other than version 9,0,28,0), I would first go to the download site and try to force a proper download and install of version 9,0,28,0: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ Then go back to the test site and see if the install took. 3. If it still does not show version 9.0.28,0 as being installed, then go to the following Adobe site and download the Flash Player Uninstaller at the site: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14157 After you download the Uninstaller executable file, run it to remove any Adobe Flash Player you might have currently installed. (NOTE: make sure you don't have any instances of the Browser open or any stand alone Flash Player open when you run the Uninstaller to make sure it deletes all necessary files.) Then go back to the Player download site and try the online install of the Player again: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ If you are successful here then you can rule out the Flash Plug-in installation as being the root of your problem. Next, open IE7 and click on Tools||Manage Add-ons||Enable or Disable Add-ons..., and disable all "Add-ons currently loaded in Internet Explorer". Once you've disabled all currently loaded Add-ons, test your Flash and see if it works. If it works then you can safely assume there is a conflict between one of your currently loaded Add-ons and the Flash Player Plug-in. If Flash still doesn't work even after you disabled all currently loaded Add-ons, then I would consider Uninstalling IE7 and Reinstalling it to see if that resolves the issue. > If you go to the Adobe Flash forum you will note that I am not alone in > this. One need not go to any forum other than this one to see that there are a multitude of problems with individual system configurations out there, but this is by no means empirical evidence that the problems folks are experiencing are Global in nature but rather Anecdotal evidence of problems with individual system configurations. Good luck Edward, I hope you are able to get this issue resolved. Donald Anadell One thing I've noticed since we fixed the ability to play an SWF file directly in IE7 the other day is that there are still sites that want to display Flash files that will not display in my IE7. They are calling the files up through their HTML but I'm not sure if they are doing it the old way or the new way. What gets me is that they won't play in IE if I'm logged into the computer using my Limited User account (XP Home). If I log into my administrator account the same webpage will display the flash file with no problem. As a test I upped my limited account to an admin account and when logged in as that user the flash still will not play. Could there be an issue with IE properly configuring itself to play flash files when it's installed, and doing so correctly for all accounts that exist on the PC? >> Hi Bob, >> [quoted text clipped - 66 lines] >>> problem but if it is >>> a configuration problem that has arisen please enlighten us. > If what you say is correct, then why does Flash 'work' in Firefox and not > with IE7.

This page at http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqvvn_lorenzo does play a flash video while I'm logged into the limited user account, but the previous site I posted does not.

Hi Dave, I'm not that familiar with limited user accounts, I've never used a limited user account on any of my machines.

AFAIK Firefox, like Netscape, doesn't support ActiveX, just as IE doesn't support Netscape plugins. So, the two browsers each get two entirely separate extensions to support the Flash feature. Bugs or quirks in one may not be present in the other. > It would seem to me that if 'Flash' works as intended in Firefox > then it is reasonable to assume it is installed correctly and the problem > relates to the dispute between Eolas and Microsoft leading to the 'update' > by Microsoft to address the issue.

You're wrong. Believe it. Wrong equivalence and wrong consequence. ; ) Have you tried toggling the option Allow active content to run on files in My Computer* (in Options, Advanced tab, Security section) Note that the asterisk means that a restart of IExplore.exe is required before any testing of the new setting will be valid. FWIW no .swf files work either locally or via direct URL for me unless that option is _unchecked_. This seems backwards to me according to the label of the option but seems to make a bit more sense under the covers in relation to a ControlFeature called LocalMachine_LockDown. > If you go to the Adobe Flash forum you will note that I am not alone in > this. Same difference? ActiveX versus Netscape plug-in. HTH Robert Aldwinckle --- I get remarks ------- the instruction at "0x660accc" referenced memory at "0x660accc".
