Pete M Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 so in my attempts to simply get embedded vids to play properly I wanted to reinstall the adobe flash stuff. no problemo I thought, I'll just uninstall them and reinstall and see what happens. so now I've discovered that I probably shouldn't have uninstalled the adobe activeX program because I cannot for the life of me find a place from which to reinstall it. how badly have I screwed myself here? nothing flash related works. in the flash player settings manager I see: ActiveX version: not installed NPAPI Plug-in version: 15.0.0.223 PPAPI Plug-in version: not installed and I can't find a place to download what I'm assuming are the missing pieces.

mikejenn2 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 have you tried to reinstall adobe flash player from there website? is it included with that? also could try Microsoft if using IE maybe the active x is in the browsers DL. these are some ideas off the top of my head. it is a little out of my league.

Jeep Driver Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Maybe this will help? http://betanews.com/2013/01/10/you-can-remove-adobe-flash-from-windows-here's-how/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 I downloaded straight from adobe's website, so I should be good there. but I think I had firefox still open when I did the uninstall so I'm going to try again using the instructions in Jeep Driver's link.

Pete M Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 update: I uninstalled, then reinstalled and it's the same. so I uninstalled and left it out and so far I can see youtube vids and there are no error messages, but places like facebook still seem to need adobe to show embedded vids. whatever. all-in-all I think this is a win. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you uncheck the free scan, So you don't get that crap on your pc. The only other thing i can think of is, Uninstall it, Restart your PC & Then re-install it. Sometimes you need to retart to completely remove a program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
