Question

How do I install Adobe FP version 9 after I download it from archive?

I am using a Dell computer with Windows 7, 64-bit and Mozilla Firefox as a browser.  I use a voice dictation program from Nuance called Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 11 premium, and it is not compatible with any Adobe Flash Player above version 9.  Somehow I ended up with version 10 on my computer, so I followed the uninstall instructions on Adobe's website to remove version 10 from my computer.  I found version 9 in the "older versions archive" and downloaded it, but I'm not quite sure how to install it after the download is complete.  It shows 3 different executable files for Windows.  There is an executable file for Internet Explorer, Netscape, and Standalone.  I'm guessing that I'm supposed to click on one of those, but I'm not sure which one since I'm using Mozilla Firefox.  I would greatly appreciate some instructions since they don't offer support for older versions of flash player.  Thank you!

I don't know what plugin Dragon Naturally Speaking uses, so I suggest that you install both (for Internet Explorer and Netscape).

I already tried JUST installing the one for Internet Explorer, and I was still experiencing the same problems.  I'll try installing both and see what happens.  Thanks for getting back so soon!

Hey Pat!

I tried installing the plug-ins for Netscape and Internet Explorer, but it's still not working.  Do you have any other suggestions?  I just want to clarify with you that my Dragon NaturallySpeaking works just fine without Adobe Flash Player, but I'm not able to watch videos and see certain images without Adobe Flash Player.  If I use any version of Adobe Flash Player higher than version 9 it causes Dragon NaturallySpeaking to not work properly.
