I'm not sure whether you can with Flash - I think it automatically installs and doesn't permit you to actually download and save the file - if you're there Steve do you know?

Is there any way I can download it on mine, put it to disc and install it on hers that way?

Anthony

Anthony Report 3 Jun 2008 16:57

Nope nothing, i've seen that before on my PC but not on hers.

When you try to download it do you get a narrow yellow strip towards the top of your window - basically between the actual window and the menu bars?

I've tried to download it from there and nothing happens, it say's the bit about the security box should come up.... but then nothing.

Well that's certainly your problem. The official place to download from is:

http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash

A black page

That is the actual page

she's never tried before but another website that she has accessed is the cbbc site.

she's using Windows xp and internet explorer.

I've noticed when i get the site up on mine, when i right click on the screen it brings up info about Adobe flash player 9 , i' tried to download it to my daughters pc but it wouldn't download.

What does she get when she goes to that url?
Is that the actual page or is it another page through that site?
Has she ever been able to access it with the current hardware setup?
Which operating system and browser is she using?

Could you tell me one of the pages she cannot access and I'll backwards diagnose from there.

Anthony Report 3 Jun 2008 16:12

Can someone help me, my Daughters PC which is connected to the router downstairs with a ethernet cable cannot access websites with a video on..... They connect to the page but wont load up anything leaving a blank screen?? I've downloaded the latest driver for the graphics card, scanned with virus and adaware , also done a defrag, but still the same.

Any help gratefully appreciated.
