Adobe Download Manager FAQ | Flash Player and Reader

This describes common issues with installing Flash.

I recommend going to FileHippo.com, a trusted 3rd party site. If you're installing Flash for Internet Explorer (or even Firefox!, where it's usually a pain,) you can search for the "Non-IE" version.

Either way, you can save either one to your desktop and double-click and follow a simple wizard to install, no DLM or GetPlus/GetRight DLM necessary.

As for uninstallation, refer to the KB article above or, if absolutely necessary, Revo Uninstaller Pro offers trial versions; no need for an "advanced" uninstall, as you could possibly snag necessary Adobe components. Try a "safe" uninstall and remove leftovers.

Good luck!

Well then visit often, even for a short visit. Have fun, learn. You will get to know the members and you will feel really comfortable if you have to visit due to a problem, but I hope that does not happen.

Ram do you need more, probably not as your computer works. Should you have more that depends, if you computer can handle more then yes. 1 GB is about the minimum, just to run the OS etc. If you do buy more ram. Dont just buy one stick, that is called mix and match. If you want to get 1 more GB go out and buy 2 at once. Dont believe the stuff like you can use crucial.com to find the perfect match; dont mix and match.

one more lil question to a poundering mind, the adobe flash player 10 activex, is not showing any size in the programs and features, list, should that b a cause for alarm?

 

[richc46]

Something that I did not really think about much. Should not be a problem, since I do not have it either; Windows 7 Home Premium.
