    Unable to install adobe Flaah player

      Hello,

          

      I am new to this so bear with me, I am on my laptop with Internet 7, and windows 64 bit I was uable to install adobe flash player.  I was getting all flags from you tube and my on line school that I needed to update my flash player.  So I went to adobe and down loaded the free upgrade.  I could not get past step 2 of the 3 part process. 

       

      1.) First time it was because it already existed, so I went in and uninstalled the flash player I did hve (i had already tried the update your version, through adobe, they unistall and reinstall for you) this was a bad idea now I have no flash pllayer and it will not get past part 2.

       

      2.) Second flag I was getting was the internet was open and I could not install a new program. Frustrating because I had to have the internet open to install the flash player.  So I tried to save and run, and nope 60% and could not install.  I have tried saving it to a disk and a flash drive, nothing.  It should not be this hard???

       

      So I save it onto my computer when itt prompted to run.  I saved as HEELLLPPPP I saved under adobe updat.  CLosed out everything and found the app, I ran the app I save and OMG!  I now have adobe Flash player 12 I about had a heart attack!  I had to immediately back track what I had did, I had tried so many things I wasn't sure which idea actually worked. 

       

      To the people that knew this be happy for me I am spreading my wings! to the people this helps I am so happy that you can finally get answers!  If this doesnt help, I am so sorry I do not know what to do for you? I could possibly go over other things I had tried, but I have a good feeling that this will work

       

      Thake care and good luck!!!

          I am glad to hear you eventually solved your Flash installation problem. However, I wish to inform you that this is a ColdFusion forum. Having said that, I would advise you that Internet Explorer 7 is outdated. Get Internet Explorer 11.

            Sorry I told u I was new? I just seen several people with the problem and I was excited. Now I have a question, what is cold fusion? Do I buy internet 11? God I sound like my mother! Its a laptop that was given to me to do schoolwork ( no worries,I am not studying computer science;) I just want to get on and have what I need?  Thanks for responding and being nice,some people r mean just because others r not as intellegent in the topic.

              It's all right. ColdFusion is a computer language for developing applications and web pages.

               

              As you already have Windows, Internet Explorer is free. To get it, just click on the link at the end of my last post.

               

              Alternatively, perhaps even better, you can install it by means of Windows Update. To do so, launch whichever version of Internet Explorer you currently have. I am assuming you have internet access. Then proceed as follows:

               

              1) Go to the Tools menu and select Windows Update.

              2) Click on the link Check for updates. Windows will then automatically check for updates. The result is a list of updates, which usually includes the latest version of Internet Explorer for your machine.

              3) Install the updates.

               

              Incidentally. you don't have to study Computer Science to be able to do ColdFusion. Who knows, perhaps you will return here one day, as a ColdFusion programmer!

               

              Good luck with your schoolwork!
