Help, I can't download flash player???

[mac88]

I go on the macromedia website, click the button which says "get macromedia flash player", then click "get flash player only free" then the screen loads but nothing happens, it doesnt install. I have read the bit on the website which says about clicking the gold bar at the top of the screen but there isn't one? What do I need to do?

Thanks,

what browser? Try pressing the ctrl key as you click on download.

[mac88]

windows explorer. I tried pressing ctrl but it doesnt work.

Hi Mac,

Your internet security settings may be too high to allow the install. Go to "tools", "internet options", then "security". Change each zone to default level.

You can download a standalone installer for Flash here

you can download and install whilst offline so that should work round the issues you're having

Which one do I click on. I clicked on"Macromedia Flash Player 7 - Standalone Players" then downloaded it but where do I unzip it to??

Thanks,

That's the one you want, you unzip it to anywhere convenient on your hard drive and there should be a setup or similar file when you've unzipped

[mac88]

Hi,
Maybe we should start again.

Goto Internet Options>Security>
Click the Custom Level button.
In this section set the dropdown to Medium-Low
Apply

Start IE and see if you can install flash.

[mac88]

Tried that, didn't work

What error are you getting at the Macromedia site?

Do you have XP SP2?

[mac88]

Yes I do have xp sp2. I don't get an error on the macromedia website, just nothing hapens. It says the download should start and that I might need to click the yellow bar at the top of the screen but there isnt one.
