Adobe Flash Player plugins: Can't find in "installed plug-ins"

[clgus]

I download and install the A.Flash Player plugin but cant' find it in the "installed plug-ins" list the the Player Plug-in.

Adobe Acrobat

Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape — from file “nppdf32.dll”.

MIME Type	Description	Extensions
application/vnd.adobe.x-mars	Adobe PDF in XML Format	mars
application/vnd.adobe.xdp+xml	Acrobat XML Data Package	xdp
application/vnd.adobe.xfd+xml	Adobe FormFlow99 Data File	xfd
application/pdf	Acrobat Portable Document Format	pdf
application/vnd.adobe.xfdf	XML Version of Acrobat Forms Data Format	xfdf
application/vnd.fdf	Acrobat Forms Data Format	fdf
application/vnd.adobe.pdfxml	Adobe PDF in XML Format	pdfxml

The core problem is I can't open links that open PDF documents from Safari. Any ideas why this is occurring?

Windows XP Prof.,Ver.2002, serv. pack 3, 2.26 GHz , 2.96 GB RAM

Not quite sure what your question is - I simply don't understand it.  Shouldn't you rather install Adobe Reader to deal with PDF documents?

Please explain in more details if that doesn't answer your question.

Your right: not clear. I'll try again. I may be in the wrong forum area of Adobe. The Safari on my PC: when I click on a link (that successfully opens on another web browser as a

"PDF") for a PDF document (say a brochure or something similar), I get a window that has "Adobe Acrobat" in the title bar. The message in the window states "There was an error opening

this document. This file can not be found". I have the following Adobe Plug-ins installed.

I have "block pop up windows" off (safari preferences). The bottom line is I can't open PDF documents as a link from a web page. Do you have any idea why this may be occurring?

I'd appreciate your comment/thoughts

So this is really a problem with the Adobe Reader plugin, not the Flash Player plugin?  Maybe you should try in the Adobe Reader forum?

I could ask a moderator to move this topic, but since the title mentions "Flash Player", probably nobody will touch it over there.
