[ABBEY]

my little lad tried to his homework and the flash player stopped working and if i try anything it says its out of date and sends me to a link for flash player 10.I download it it says its downloaded and it still doesnt work ,ive rebooted and tried downloading again......HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP TA

Do you get any errors when you try and load it?

My guess (without an error) at the moment is that the upgrade didn't download all the correct files when trying to install over the top. Best way forward I think would be to uninstall all flashplayer reference and then download the full thing instead of installing over the top of the old one.

tried that ,shockplayer downloaded ok and the flash player says its installed but nowts happening tho.

Abbey i think that maybe a virus...scan your computer immediately

Abbey,

Looking round it seems a few people might be having the same problem. Many saying that they went through this:-

When you try and play the downloaded one does an error pop up? If so what is it?

[ABBEY]

nothing at all.

What system are you running on.

At present BBC iPlayer Download Manager is only available to Windows XP (but not 64-bit XP) or Windows Vista users with Internet Explorer 6 or later and Windows Media Player 9 or later.

When I try to watch YouTube I get the following error. It seems common but no definitive answer?

"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player"

Both are up to date, have uninstalled, installed etc. Pop ups allow youtube. Tried adding Flash Player to firewall exceptions but haven't been successful.

Any suggestions?

Check out the 4th one at answers.yahoo.com

Think you should be able to find a solution in those search results somewhere.

wmp....i get this message.

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. If you typed a URL in the Open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:").
