Topic: Legacy Screensaver Updater

I can not get my HSV VT Range Screensaver to work on Windows 7.  The Screensaver works in the screensaver settings dialog box, but it won't work in preview.  Message says it needs Adobe Flash Player Component to work and refers to the Instant Storm site.  I have Adobe Flash Player 10.1 installed.  I have also tried to install the Legacy Updater, but it will not go any further than the welcome message.  Can I please get some more information on how to get my screensaver working.

Re: Legacy Screensaver Updater

Dit you install the adobe flash player for other browsers or adobe flash player for Internet explorer?

if you have the other browser installed try installing the IE version as well.
The IE version is inpleted in complete windows so your (and mine) screensaver will run. but with the other browser version it is not inpleted in windows so your screensaver will probely not run.

I hope this helps you out. (this was my problem with the flash player component error.)

Hi!

I have also tried to install the Legacy Updater, but it will not go any further than the welcome message.

Could you please tell us what error message you get? What prevents Legacy Updater to continue?

Please download and install this version of Adobe Flash Player: http://www.instantstorm.com/go/player_2.0/

I hope it works smile

ok, I tried to do it using IE, but still only get to the welcome screen. There is no error message, but not all of the text is readable to the right of the box.

Hi!
You don't need to use IE to get Legacy Updater, IE is used only for downloading Adobe Flash Player ActiveX component.

Just click Next in the Legacy Updater, it'll do all necessary steps for you.

What operating system do you use? Do you use Large DPI settings?

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash Player ActiveX component.through IE several times. It still will not open the updater properly.  I am on windows 7 and using 1920 x 1080 resolution.
