The Flash Player ActiveX control could not be registered

[Rickkins]

Does anybody have any idea how to solve this.

I know win8 comes with some sort of flash pre-installed, but it does not work with my browser, Waterfox, a 64 bit variant of firefox. (it shows as firefox)

Thanks.

you need to download the other version of flash (if i recall correctly there's a bug on the RP and adobes site where it will only download the active-x version)

download from here http://filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox_64/

You sir, are a steely eyed missile man. You have my thanks..!! (it worked)

[Brandon H Supervisor]

yeah, I always download flash from there because I don't like all that other crap Adobe tries to get you to download along with it on their site

I don't suppose you have a solution to the directx problem...???

I need to install the June 2010 version for media player classic, which does play, but only after a directx error message is clicked thru...

I'm glad I'm not the only one getting that in MPC. Talk about annoying.

Dude....the directx off that filehippo place solved my other problem too. Filehippo has now earned a spot on my bookmarks bar...

Thanks again.

Note; I had to re-install my sound drivers after the directx install, but it's all good now.
