Macromedia 7??

Could some kind person tell me why I can't D/L Macromedia Flash Player please?....

Every time I try it says it has 'Downloaded Successfully' but it hasn't...so anything I click on that requires MFP just tells me to D/L it??!!.....

And just to make it interesting.....I'm getting this Error message now....

Cheers, Cochise...Macromediadead in Manhattan..

 

maybe because the current version is 9

try this link http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe

or from here http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash

 

Thanks betauser2.....I only said 7 because that is whats asked for but I've also tried 8 and 9.....also tried your Links....Nothing Downloads although it says it has!!.........Really odd?...

Even tried it with my Outpost disabled.......

All I want to do is have a look at some film trailers in WMP etc.,....I don't ask for much..

Regards, Cochise.

 

The flash player is for browsers, to view flash movies, games online.

Are you having trouble viewing some video files? this could be down to codecs

(check your pm's)

 

I have the same problem. You prompted me to investigate. My software restriction policy blocks the following:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Download\Download.exe

When I allowed it, it installed. Maybe one of your security softs is blocking it.

 

try using another browser to download it; but since u mention WMP i think its a problem of codecs as betauser2 suggested.

 

I've just installed Media Player over the top of my old one just for something better to do....and guess what??...Macromedia has loaded no problem!!....Don't even ask.. .....

Thanks all........

Cochise.

 

If anyone else is having problems, I found this link to a standalone installer which works OK: http://www.softwarepatch.com/internet/flash.html
