Are you still waiting?

If you can't get to the site then that is the problem to look for. Got any software that blocks sites installed?

I am confused! I have been struggling to get flash player 10 installed for several weeks now.

I added adobe to downloadable sites to firefox, I removed version 9, I downloaded 10, installed it(twice) and got installation successful msg.

When I go to add/delete pgms, it says I have version 10 'plugin', with no size indicated????

Look at \.......\adobe and only reader,acrobat, photoshop folders. Where SHOULD flaSHPLAYER RESIDE?

Hi,

I think I recall hearing you are a Firefox user so I would then use the "about:plugins" to check to see if it is installed and what version....

Should look something like this...

OK it seems if you type : with a p after it you get .

without the extra spaces you need it to say "a b o u t : p l u g i n s"

While it may be correct English punctuation, it doesn't have the desired result in Firefox.

For it to work in Firefox, there should be no spaces.

EDIT ---- Thought this sounded familiar! Still don't know much about computers, BUT - Here is a thread where I asked for help for the same issue.

I am giving you the whole thread - After scanning the first 20 posts - the answer may be in the last 10 posts. https://forum.shopsmith.com/viewtopic.php?t=3356&highlight=videos

Been off this thread, and do not understand the later posts(resolve that later), but went searching on my own!

In answer to a ?? I previously posted, Flashplayer resides in \WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash

That sub-direc ooops folder is shown above after successfully getting version 10... to install.

I manually cleared that directory (after clicking on the install/uninstall .exe file and uninstalling)and went back to adobe and installed version 10

The initial attempt to play from sawdust session 24 displayed a 'install plugin' now prompt. I did that and it did its thing, and guess what IT NOW WORKS!!!!!

Apparently a memory used null value is 'normal'.

I believe all this confusion was caused by previous unsuccessful attempt yo install version 10. I be;ieve remnents of version 9 were clogging/confusing the installation.

FWIW there were version 9 remnants remaining in the .......flash folder after 'uninstalling' version 9. As mentioned above, I manually deleted them!

Thank You all for the responses and 'clues'.

BTW Chuck: Where did you find an uninstall thingie on adobe.com????

Well I figgered out what y'all were doing etc.

Looks 'normal'! Albeit truncated for 'clarity'.

So somebody tell us just what a 'plugin' is. An independant program function that can be 'added' dynamically(after base program is defined in executable form(compiled/linked))???

I believe I used the CONTROL PANEL then the INSTALL/UNINSTALL icon. Just clicked and uninstalled.
