Question

Need help installing latest Flash Palyer in WinXP SP3

I had previous versions of Flash Player and there was no problem. I have no problem downloading and when I install the application I'm told that the installation was successful. Here is the problem:

1. I cannot find the program anywhere on my hard drive when I conduct a file/folder search.

2. My browser is Firefox v 19.1 with the following plugins and extensions:

Browser 1.6.8.0;ADBlock Plus; Do Not Track Me;IEView

3. I have Java enabled

Is there something that I am doing wrong or not doing that prevents Flash Player from effectively installing?

Would sure appreciate any suggestions or input.

Mary

Hi Mary,

Can you go to the "about:plugins" page in Firefox's address bar and past the contents into a reply?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Mary,

Firefox reports that Flash Player (reported as Shockwave Flash) is installed at C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_11_6_602_171.dll.

Are you having problems viewing Flash content?  If so, try disabling your browser add-ons and try again.

Thanks,

Chris
