Are we out of the flashplayer activex
What's going on with those of us with the XP (x64 in my case)? I can't
download the flash lpayer online and haven't been able to for a long time. Now I have a downloaded manual install flash player. I keep getting the message it's old. I can't find the updated on to download for manual install anywhere on adobe's site. Is anyone else having this problem? I guess our days are numbered. Bill |

Bill If you're looking for version 207, you might try something from this set. Try the "_ax.exe" one if you need ActiveX. Using the last link, you can query what the current version is, then modify the URL to select a matching version for download. Netscape, Seamonkey http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flas...ash_player.exe Older versions of Internet Explorer which don't have built-in flash http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flas..._player_ax.exe An uninstaller (if it was really broken or something) http://download.macromedia.com/get/f...ash_player.exe Test page, so you can check the version number on it. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ HTH, Paul |

Or was it just by chance? I do note that the newer the version, the the larger the file (as a general rule), which is par for the course. I thought that most sites were going away from Flash and over to HTML5? |

Cute kitty vids may be moving to html5 but the US Federal, State, Local gov, and industry sites use flash (including my own employer's sites). The fuel for your vehicle and home heating is brought to you using Flash. V.18 is the last one that works with my SM 26 or FF27 combined with ZoneAlarm 9.2.102.

If anyone else has this problem I am wondering what they did. .... Bill |

I can't quite figure out what you are trying to do and what errors for what you are getting. |

I use firefox. I get that error from ADobe. Bill This one would be for Firefox. http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flas...ash_player.exe About the only way you could screw this up, is by installing the 64-bit version of Firefox or something. Even though you have a 64-bit OS, sometimes for plugin reasons it is better to use the bog-standard 32 bit Firefox version. If you don't make a special effort, you may be offered the 32 bit version of Firefox when you download a copy. But you can go to the download site and manually get the 64 bit version. I expect Adobe has made some provision for 64-bit browsers, but I don't know that for a fact. Paul |
