I have Windows XP, SP2, Beta, and my flash doesn't work. I just realized that when I go to the test page on adobe, it works. The picture shows up, and it tells me I have version 8. When I go to another website outside of adobe, it says please download. I have downloaded this 50 times, and deleted and downloaded again. Why does this seems to work while on adobe site, but once I'm on another site it doesn't even seem like its downloaded at all? I just want to play games on MSN again. 😞 Please help!

    Hi Everyone...

    Okay....Forget all the technical stuff.....Just redownload macromedia flashplayer 6...It is the old version that came with most of our computers. It was what was working before you downloaded the newest version. You don't have to do anything else. The address to find the old version#6 is:

    (((((with the newest version...Too many bugs, and will not work with Firefox. You need to redownload the original player ))))

    So you're saying delete the version that a Flash page always wants you to download? and find an OLD version of Flash Player?

    Because I've downloaded literally dozens of times.

    I just posted because I wasn't sure if someone else had this same problem, especially considering your "subject" line. But I read it, cuz you said HEY READ THIS! LOL and I guess we are all having the same type of problem.

    My post is at the top about the continuous download of Flash Player.

    It's never ending - keeps asking me, I keep downloading, I keep rebooting, and it still doesn't play a Flash page.

    Mine doesn't work on ANY page, including Adobe!
