Can't Save or Run Flash Vista 64 IE9

Question

Windows Vista x64. Internet Exlorer 9. I followed the links to install a Windows update that's supposed to remedy a certificate issue (don't know if that's my problem) and it won't save either. The options I'm given when trying to download is Save and Save As but when I try either, neither works. I have adobe reader and it works fine. When I try to download flash in Chrome, it says Chrome already runs it automatically so no action needs to be taken but when I try to download it to my computer using IE, I can't. I tried looking up the toolbars and extensions and there's nothing listed for Adobe. This is a vicious circle.

Hi,Sounds like you issue is with your system. You first need to figure out why it's not saving files. Microsoft Vista is still supported until April 2017 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet) You can try contacting Microsoft for support or a local trusted IT business. Once that is resolved, the Flash Player installer should be able to download onto your system.Alternatively, you can try using a different browser to download the installers. The main download page detects to OS/browser and offers the appropriate installer for the OS/browser combination, but you can go to get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions and select the OS and browser you want to download Flash Player for.Either way not being able to download/save a file is not a problem we can assist you with.--Maria
