Tech Question - Flash

[SnoopDog]

Hey Guys,

I'm having trouble installing Adobes Flashplayer.

I seem to have no flash player at all on my laptop.

So I wanted to download it. I went to the website, clicked on "install now" and after that, I saw a screen saying that it should install immediately and after it's done, ther should be a short animation.

But then nothing happens.

What could be the problem.

I'm using Windows XP Home Edition and Internet Explorer. So it should be able to work.

I also tried to set my security settings to minimum, but that didn't change a thing.

Any help?

You might need to have Admin status to add programs.

Also a firewall sometimes prevents programs from installing -- XP has a built-in firewall even if you're not running a seperate one.

Well, I'm not sure whether I got admin status. I was able to install Quicktime for instance.

I definitely checked that there is no firewall active. I also tried deactivating the anti-virus programme and I set the security to minimum.

Damn it.

the animation should actually start playing in that internet explorer window where you download from

it's just like an advert for adobe or something i think

Well, actually it doesn't. Then again my Explorer doesn't seem to show any animated images or stuff like that. I checked all security settings and allowed all downloads and stuff but nothing happens. It's also showing script errors when I specifically unchecked that.

Strange.
