I have tried several times to download/install Flash Player 10. The download manager chugs along fine like it is downloading...then it says installing...then I get "install complete". When I go to the verify installation page it says I have the most current version of Flash Player installed.  BUT..no desktop icon like it says in the installation instructions.  Cant find it in the Programs folder.  Very much like the earlier post, only I am not running IE8.  Dunno where it went or what happened to it, but I still cannot play videos.  I am running Windows XP, IE6 and Firefox 3.0.  Please help me find my wayward progam

    Flash Player is a browser plugin, not a standalone player.  It will not put any icons on your desktop, nor will you find anything in your Program Files.

    If you point your browser(s) to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ - can you see the Flash animation and some version information underneath it?

    What videos - online videos, or local videos on your HD?

    Thanks for the reply. That explains why I cannot find it anywhere.

    I checked the link. I don’t see any animation at all, but I do see a table with version information and there is a box that says: You have version 10,0,45,2 installed.

    I am trying to view videos online for my school courseware. I tried to watch the video and it sent me to Adobe to download the player.

    Is that on both Internet Explorer adn Firefox?  (IE & FF have different Flash Player installs; IE uses an ActiveX, FF uses a plug-in.)
