On a more serious note: what is happening when you try to download it?

[ecurbh]

Can you be more specific about what is not working? What happens when you try to download and install it? Are you getting error messages, and if so, what do they say?

Flame me if you've got nothing better to do. . .

You've been here long enough. You know invitations aren't necessary. :)

Go to

http://www.macromedia.com

and select the download from their website.

It is free. You may need both the Flash and Shockwave downloads.

Flash Player Quick Help

[LibSnubber]

When I attempt the download, the screen flashes briefly then I get that lovely white box with the red X in it.

Below that it says "Important Message: You may need to click the gold bar at the top of the browser window to allow the install."

But I don't get any bar at all - nowhere on my screen.

I usually suggest the application of scalding hot tomato soup poured over the motherboard, but I've had that same frickin' problem too!  I've got version 8 (or something) and need version 9 in order to watch some hilarious Dave Chappelle  clips (Black Bush is hysterical), but it won't update.  Damn thing.

Please note that XP should have a version of Flash Player installed by default. To download and install a newer version, you will have to uninstall previous version.
To see if you have it installed, check your Add/Remove programs.
This page has help with difficulties, including setting IE ActiveX and security controls to assure download capability:

I'm using Firefox and cannot view any Flash sites.

"if I can't understand this computer crap - how will I ever become a nurse?"

I always read the computer help threads because I need so much help in this area. I can't offer advice but I did want to say congratulations to you for what you are doing. Good for you. I'm sure you'll be a great nurse.

Do You allow Windows to automatically update? If so, you have Service Pack 2 installed. Macromedia needs an additional Active X control installed - a link to which is supposed to be in that gold bar.

The control is named: "Macromedia Flash Player 7 from 'Macromedia, Inc.'" The site says: When the Internet Explorer - Security Warning dialog box titled appears, click the Install button.

Note: Please ensure that "Never install software from Macromedia, Inc." is NOT checked"

Good Luck!

I assume you are using WindowsXp and IE. Is that correct?

I also assume you have clicked on Download Now and found the installer on your desktop. Is that correct?

Me, middle-aged stay-at-home mom, has gone back to college after 25 years.

Uh, shouldn't you be baking a pie and cleaning the house?

Sorry. Only joking. Will pray for you. Good luck with school! :)
