I am running Windows XP (latest that was available from Microsoft before they stopped supporting XP) and FireFox 35.0.1 (latest from Mozilla). My Flash plugin is 16.0.0.257 but apparently this is out-of-date. Everywhere I go where i need a flash player I see an error, and "Update Your Flash Player". When I click on update, I am taken to:
Adobe Flash Player Install for all versions
and I download the installer. I run it, and a blank, black box pops up and nothing happens ... ever. I cannot get the latest Flash Player installed.
I had this problem awhile back and for the longest time could not update, and was also unable to view any videos needing flash. Somehow I ended up downloading the plugin DLL directly, but for the life of me I don't remember how I did that. I can't believe I'm only person in the world running XP that has issues with updating the Flash player. BTW - I did disable Norton Anti-Virus when trying to update just in case Norton was blocking the install.
Help, please.
