Adobe and FF

derrick

I am trying to download Adobe (version2.0.0.46), it downloads to desktop as "flashplayer 18_ ga _ install.exe", but won't install despite double clicking and right clicking then "open", the egg timer comes on for about 3 seconds then goes off.

XP
Firefox 40.0.3

Any ideas why this won't install and how to install?

Chino

Are the suggestions on Adobe's website of any help?

Not really, I am trying number 2. but when I click on end process I get a window telling me of doom and gloom if I continue.

You really should get rid of XP, it's no longer supported and the security vulnerabilities and lack of support issues are racking up by the day.

OK I think it is now installed, from this page https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html under heading,"Still having problems", then click and download from Flash Player for Firefox - NPAPI

Now to see if it plays anything.

I am looking in to upgrading but am concerned re my email client,( OE6), which I am welded to, and whilst millions of others,(including I think the NHS), are still using the best Windows eve OS then I will stay for a while longer.

Above might well be true but at some point both you and the NHS will need to change .
Suggest you run another email client alongside your current one as a trial something universal like Google Mail .
