Question

"Macromedia Flash Player"; vs. "Flash Player?"

My new camera says

I need to download "Macromedia Flash Player": is that the same as "Flash Player?

I tried to download the new Flash Player just in case and kept getting an error.  During the download attempts it said I already had it (flash player) and asked if I wanted to rerun it.  That's what failed repeatedly.  It keep telling me I had to close "conflicting" Yahoo Messenger and Internet Explorer before it could continue.  How do I close something that isn't running?  I am "multiply" confused.  Can you advise?

    Flash Player was originally developed by Macromedia.  So Adobe Flash Player = Macromedia Flash Player.

    What is your OS?

    What is your web browser?

    What is your Flash Player version?  (See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html)

    Thanks so much.  You've already answered the most important question.  Unfortunately, I'm a relative "newby" and you'll need to be a bit more descriptive.  I don't know what OS means and I use Internet Explorer (is that a web brouser?)  I don't know how to find my current "Flash Player" because I don't know where to look.  It isn't listed under my programs.  I'm also confused because my photo program said I needed to install the Macromedia and when I tried, Adobe said I already had it; How do I verify that and find it?  Where do I look?  Thanks

    If you use Internet Explorer as your web browser, then most likely your operating system (OS) is Windows.

    As for your Flash Player version, the link I gave you in my first post (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html) will tell you.
