Shockwave Player ERROR #10

There are few to any answeres to the shockwave error 10. Even on a support forum for shockwave and user was left hanging without resolution for this problem. The user was getting an error (shwave error 10) and did not get an answer on how to resolve it.

For those of you with this erro and and foudn this blog, there is something you could try to resolve the problem. The solution is faily simple but might require you to get some files from anotehr system on which shockwave is working fine.

The error message also notes that some files are missing that shwave player requires. Uninstalling and re-installing just gets you going in a circle that never ends. The system will also ask you to reboot too. It doesn't work If you getting shockwave error 10, file are missing that are needed to run shockwave plyer then try this. Keep in mind, this won;t hurt your player because the player doesn't work anyway, that's why you're reading this.

Run the uninstall from control panel. You've probably already done it 10 or so times already but one more at this point won;t hurt. Reboot if asked to do so after the installation. Go to the windows system 32 directory. For many installations it's c:\windows\system32. In that folder look for macromedia the adobe subfolders. In both of the aforementioned folders there will be a shockwave sub-folder. If one of these is empty or near empty, that's your problem. At least that was the problem on a computer that was having this problem and on whch I did the same steps I'm pointing out in this post. Copy the contents from the fodler that has files to the one that does not (it may not be entirely empty but opnly has a minimal set of the "full" folder). Go to a site that you are having problems with. I would not go to shockwaves site to trigger the active-x installation. That site has probably already told you that shockwave is working fine even though it is not.

Loading the site that is not workin, if properly coded., will trigger the active-x download and instalaltion of shockwave player. Run the install and reboot if requested to do so by the install. If no reboot is requested, then relaod the page. You might ask to run the install again. Check the box that says truct content from this publisher and adobe will be displayed in the mesage wndow to trust . When you check the box the installation if it's triggered again will just run.

This post assumes you have the adobe shockwave player plugin enabled in your IE browser.

God Mode In Windows 7

There's not much that can be done from the standard user desktop of Windows 7 or even an Administrator's desktop. By default, it is a minimal in functionality for configuration options and settings for printers, time zone, file access, etc.. It is a clean interface by design and done to increase simplicity. Most all things needed for customizing, configuration, and support access can be found from the traditional control panel of Windows 7 as with previous operating systems released from Microsoft. However, through control panel won’t allow you to see and easily use all those nested settings included in the main options. Did you know that you can become a God? Well, at least on Windows 7 not in real life. Don't this go to your head.

One of the less known options on Windows 7 is the GodMode feature. Although this may be due to the fact that having administrator access will provide enough access. Basically, a difference from regular administrator access, is that this mode lets you have every setting and option easily accessible and right in front of you, ready to be used for support without having to browse among different settings before getting what you are looking for.

Here is how to enable it:
Right click on any bank space on your desktop.
Click new from the menu and create a New Folder.
Rename the folder as follow: God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

DO NOT use this trick on Vista and Windows 7 64X. It will cause your Windows to crash! (read comments below)

This simple command will create a special shortcut to the God Mode option letting you access all Windows 7 functions via a handy GUI!

God Mode also works on Windows Vista!

Test URL for Activesync 2007 Exchange

Test URL for Activesync 2007 Exchange

A useful URL to know and keep track of for future use is one that allows you to check on an Exchange 2007 server's ActiveSync functionality. This is a particularly useful link to have and use for testing when you don't actually have a windows mobile phone to test with. The URL is simple but has changed from Exchange 2003 server. In Exchange 03 it was /oma or OMA.

To use the test URL, just open a new browser window and enter https://owa.{yourdomain.gr}/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync/ in the browser's address bar and lick go or hit enter.

If Microsoft activesync is working on the exchange server you are connecting to properly, you should get an error message. The error message displayed in the browser should be Error 501/505 - Not implemented or not supported. This error message is normal for when a browser reaches the ActiveSync web site. Depending on server configuration, https may not be required. A URL using only http without the s may be sufficient.

The RDP protocol component "DATA ENCRYPTION" detected an error.

The following entry is logged in event viewer on a windows 2003 server when trying to connect using RDP from another server or XP desktop: The RDP protocol component "DATA ENCRYPTION" detected an error in the protocol stream and has disconnected the client.

Source: TermDD , Event ID: 50 This is a known issue and can be resolved with a simple registry change. below is an image of a registry change made on a server. Unable to connect to the server using RDP, this registry change allowed the connection. The registry key is circled. Below the certificate entry in the right window pane, is the certificate entry that was originally there and was renamed - hence the double dash (--) in front of the name. The registry change was made and no reboot was required. Just tried connecting again from another server and the new certificate entry was entered automatically into the registry on the server.

The old and new entries in the registry to fix the RDP problem look the same but the data value does differ. The string is a long entry that's not shown in the image. All the way to the right the numbers/characters start to change.

This is a known issue:
