Hi,

I just tried that from here http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/downl...ShockwaveFlash

i downloaded the file to my desktop (1.3mb size) then double-clicked it and it installed fine.

Is this what you did?

yes thats what i did but when i double clicked on it from my desktop all i got was another quick installation, but there was nothing installed

You should of got the choice of language, then a few files install and then it disappears, is that right?

You wont get any icons or find it in your program's list and this is only a plug-in for internet browsers so that websites you are visitingl that have flash movies will play them

i got the language box and the few files and then it dissapears as u said. but when i go onto the website i want it still asks me to install the flash player

ok, it should install automatically but sometimes there can be problems installing it, so try doing the manual way

goto http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/windows.html#Acrobat

and look for the section titled "Macromedia Flash player"

click on the link "Install: Macromedia flash player 9"
you may now get a security warning at the top of your browser, click on the "edit options" tab and "allow" the web address it warns you about

click on the link "Install: Macromedia flash player 9" again and this time it should start installing without the warning message, once done restart your browser and see if that has worked

i clicked "Install: Macromedia flash player 9" but nothing happened. has my problems somethingto do with the fact i'm using firefox

I done the exact thing listed above on my copy of firefox, the plugin on the link is for firefox and IE.

So nothing happens at all when you click that link?

no nothing happens all it says at the bottom of the page is "done" it looks like it just refreshes the page

Hi

Which website is it your going onto that asks for the plugin?
