Question

I have an old PC that won't support Flash Player 10.  I've downloaded the Flash Player 9 zip file from the following link on Adobe.com and have unzipped the file.  Now, how do I get the Flash Player to "run" so that I can view streaming videos?

    Hi, Did you refer to this troubleshooting article from Adobe here:

    http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_tn_19166_en-us

    In Section 5 of the article, you may want to refer to that-"Error installing older versions"

    That may be helpful.

    Thanks,

    Thanks, eidnolb, I looked there, but that didn't help.  Do I need to "run" or "save" when I download Flash Player 9?  Either way, I just get a zip file named  fp9_archive1.zip.  When I unzip that file, I get 16 subdirectories named 9r16, 9r20, etc., but no instructions on how to get Flash Player 9 to "install" so that I can view vids.  I'm kinda a newbie on this, but I  guess my question is "How do I install Flash Player 9 after I download it from the Adobe archive"?

    Hi, oh ok. Let me check. I've never installed any but the latest. Be back in a few.

    Thanks,
