Attention to Falko Adobe Flash 9 Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. I have re-start mY PC however when I go to youtube or something similiar it gives me the error the JavaScript is turned off or I have an old version of flash? Any suggestions? I use FireFox Web Browser Note: should I delete the one I down load to my desktop (flash Player 9) Thank you!
Sorry but it's really looks like you just can't extract files from archive. look libflashplayer.so (10) libflashplayer.so(9) Just copy lybflashplayer.so to ~/.mozilla/plugins/ it must be looks almost like this: HTML: ls -l ~/.mozilla/plugins/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 exn exn 9543400 2009-02-03 06:03 libflashplayer.so drwx------ 2 exn exn 4096 2009-05-28 05:51 moonlight Try both versions of flash player, I think 10 will be work too

Can I download in one of my roommate computers in USB drive? I have done it (yesterday), but when I download it in rapid share nothing happen, I have use before rapid share, so I don't know where the down load when ( after the download the window closed so fast) I have download flash player 10, I haven't try the number 9 these OS make me feel ignorant, but just because I am newbie.
