flash player installation with foxfire

[trigger221010]

I'm trying to install flash player so I can open https://universe.chacha.com/ . It tells me to download latest version of flash player. I go threw the motions it says its installed but when i try to log in again i get the same error. I know it gives specials instructions for foxfire server. One of the first steps is to hit the edit button using on the yellow bar . Well I cant find that no where. What do i need to do? Please help I'm thinking I'm not the only one with this problem.

When you say "foxfire server", do you mean by any chance Firefox browser?  Please clarify.

Go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/; can you see the Flash animation?  Can you see the installed Flash Player version?

hi forum - i have the same problem as trigger -i have tried to install flash about 4 thousand times today -  i have followed the advice of both posts by the guy with the upside down name - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ tells me "You have version 10,0,45,2 installed" but when i search for flashplayer i cant find it on my computer, and my flash movie files won't play - any ideas you guys? (I have windows 7 and a brand new computer)

Are these local files, or web files?  Flash Player is a web player, not standalone player.

yeah they're standalone clips - have tried to play them through quicktime and wmp (not recognised) and then realplayer which tells me i need to download the latest version of flashplayer (which the adobe site tells me i have)...

and some message told me to enable javascript - but it already is

this is cool but i have been on explorer sidebar tuturial instruction thing for a while upside down guy sent me an e mail to help u he asked some questions but i dont know how to go back while on this page scotty in ny

This is getting confusing - three different users asking different questions in the same topic!

scottsgreen: did you follow my instructions and enable JavaScript, then reinstall the latest Flash Player?  I dont know why you now go about IE8 and sidewiki - these are completely different issues.  (This topic is about Firefox initially, not Internet Explorer.)

there are mixups who s who i got 2 e mail meant for others inc your requst for specific info came to me . sorry im a talker not a typer.. or speller.sorry to chang topics,all that new info came about be fore i recieved the e mails meant for others ,and other mixups. itried to find java script unnsucessfully (but i was tired will try again now.the new development was i was notified to update explorer..whitch i though was inverse of old flash player..but most important reveilled the importance of saveing my files and many pics,so the subject changed,coupled with emails going to wrong parties.to summarize do i need explorer..and firefox..and aol (which brings other problems that would chang topic),or do i want /need both? i always miss the most basic things and do the difficult ,or complicated easilly,

Enable Java Script in Firefox 3.5.x: Tools | Options | tab Content - check both JavaScript and Java.

If that does not solve your problem

• download the FP uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html (save to disk);
• download he offline installer http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe (save to disk);
• close all browser windows, then run the downloaded uninstaller, followed by the installer.

Ohhhhhkayyyy. . .I'm basically very nearly computer-illiterate, and the punctuation-free, rambling quality of the initial questions has left me absolutely confused, so I'm going to outline my issue here and see if I can get some help.

I have a Dell laptop. Previously it was running Flash Player just fine. Because it was a secondhand machine, a friend completely removed all programs and re-installed XP with Service Pack 2. He neglected to install Flash Player, but I figured I could do it because I'd done it before on

other machines. *insert evil laugh* WRONG!

First I tried about 300 (slight exaggeration, but only slight) times to install it with IE 7, and it kept telling me "Failed to Register." I did try everything that the troubleshooter suggested. I tried downloading IE 8 and got the same message. So I downloaded Firefox, and it installs successfully, but still will not run. I cannot view any Flash content at all. Any suggestions that are not too technical?

Thanks in advance!

Please start a new topic in the forum; I cannot handle four different problems in the same topic!
