Adobe Flash Player
 

Can anyone help. My flash player stopped working last week. I have tried to reinstall it. The download site said it had installed correctly, but I cannot find or use it. My system is Vista.

its not a program you use, find it on startmenu etc its a program that is integrated into browsers and stuff. What browser do you use

well there is one problem.... :D

It let me download it saying download and installed successfuly, but I cant open it

Frank, I think it's like Rob says, you don't open it yourself, it's opened by whatever application needs to use it, eg something like BBC iPlayer. I didn't understand it myself until my partner pointed it out to me recently.

It doesn't open itself when I try to watch the vids on Accy Web or other vids

Max........the best advice I can give you is change to Firefox. I have had fewer problems since I changed over from IE. It is a simple free download and is much smoother than IE.
I took some convincing, but I would never go back to IE now.

Download Mozilla Firefox Free

And there is a link for you.

Or google chrome. If u Have a google account email etc you can sign in and it will save all Ur sites via google so when u use another pc everything is synchronized

I've tried FFOX and just can't get used to it at all Margaret, and I have it installed on my laptop, but rarely use it, I have to say I'm a slave to IE, because it hasn't let me down really

I've tried F Fox and its a pain in the uknow what, its said it would import all my favourites and their pass words, did it bluudy ell, if I want to log on to Accy Web I have to type in my pass word tick remember me, does it ell, some of my favourites I can't use on F Fox, can't remember the pass words. SOD F Fox.

Well, I have not had any of the problems that both of you have had.
Retlaw, I know you are resistant to change because of the work you do with the WW1 records....but John...I'm surprised at you. I get fewer virus alerts and it all runs much smoother. I don't even have the same problems with Windows updates(these used to create problems when I used IE as a browser). I bless the day when Cashy, Garinda and Dave in Germany recommended firefox.
But fair play - if you have tried it and don't like it then so be it......I wouldn't have IE gift wrapped and hanging with diamonds(and I do like diamonds).

Margaret, you would worship the day you switched to Linux.... :D

Virus alerts? What the heck are they?

Re: Adobe Flash Player
 

Your tech related posts always make me laugh( i mean in a good way )

I could make it boring and go on forever about how you(from nerd point of view is totally wrong) but in reply I will simply say.

SOD IE (now im thinking of Steptoe and Son where they are playing Scrabble and he puts down SOD and then a debate persues whether or not it is swearing :) )

:P

Seriously though. All the work you do with the ww1 records which we all here should commend you for! and remembering all kinds of accy trivia. I doubt you really a working browser. just a good hard drive built to last the times
