| | Can't open *.swf files Why can't I open Shockwave Flash files (*.swf) in Windows Vista Home Basic? I'm using 32 bits and I have downloaded the Shockwave player and flash players. SWF programs are the only ones I'm unable to open. Instead, I get message "Error on Page" which changes to "Done" on a blank page !? -- Chris |

| | Re: Can't open *.swf files I uninstalled flash player but now it won't install again. I found an issue in Microsoft about this problem and there's a download for SubInACL from Microsoft "to fix permission issues that prevent the Flash Player installation". After downloading this you must also download the "reset_minimal.zip file. This extracts to reset_minimal.cmd and must be in the same directory as the subinacl.exe. You then run (double-click) the *.cmd file and it's supposed to solve the problem - BUT it didn't! I think these instructions don't apply to Windows Vista! Now I can't install the Flash Player and I can't run ANY files that need this!
