I am using MAC OS X 10.3.9. I just downloaded Adobe Flash Player 9.

Instead of step 4 onwards as in the Installation Instructions, i get two files:
-flash player.plugin
-flashplayer.xpt

How do i proceed with the installation?

Thanks
Herman

    Hi Herman,

    I've been experimenting and I think I have the solution...

    This is what I did and it seems to have worked:

    Drag "flash player.plugin" into the "Internet Plug-ins" folder in the "Library" folder which is inside your user folder. Then restart.

    Let me know if it works for you!

    Best regards,

    Jan (Baffled of Hungerford)Good luck!

    Hi Herman,

    I can't help you I'm afraid!

    I have exactly the same problem! I've tried downloading Flash Player 9 several times and I always get the same two files - flash player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. There's no installer (nothing that looks like the file shown in Adobe's 'installation instructions') so I don't know what to do with the files. I've read somewhere that more than one copy of Flash Player installed can cause glitches so I ran Adobe's Flash Player Uninstaller and then downloaded Flash Player 9 again. But still the same two files arrived!

    Is there someone out there who can help please..? I'm absolutely baffled!

    Thanks in advance... and fingers crossed x !

    Best regards,
