I went onto a website, www.zillow.com, and tried to pull up some maps and kept getting the message that I needed to install Macromedia Flash Player 8.0. I went to the indicated site and clicked "Download Now" and the message came up "Flash Player Now Installed", but I am still getting the message saying I need to install it. Is there something else I should be doing to active the player?? Thanks!

I'm experiencing the same problem, but at "youtube.com". Strange thing is that I used to be able to view the videos, now I keep getting the same message you are. Don't know if I deleted something or inadvertantly changed a setting. I've re-set the privacy settings but can't figure out the problem either.

Hello to you both. What Windows version and internet browser are you trying to use?

Hmmmmmm im wondering what maps exactly is she referring to??

I could view a map fine with Flash 7 on that site....

Do you have a link to a specific map europagirl?? (I wanna test one that you cant view (or couldnt view))

I had the same problem at youtube.com also. I still don't know what's causing it though. I let you know if I find a fix.

Found a security update page regarding Macromedia Flash player.

I went through the download again (even though it recognized the latest verion in my computer which I thought was weird -) - it reloaded sucessfully this time and I'm up and running.
