I have tried so many times to install flash player and each time the download stope (usually at 0%) and doesn't give a reason. I was looking through other threads and I have found that my flash player plugin is in the Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled) folder but I've no idea how to enable it again. Plug ins are enabled under preferences. Could this be the problem? Thanks.
I don't have shockwave installed. So I should do that first yes? I had flash player before so I must have had it and I have no idea how it has been unintalled. Should I also change the flash player plug-in from disabled? I don't know how to do that! Thanks very much for your help with this.
Anyway I came across this page, used your link and everything is fine now, it even had the Adobe flash player package in resources, in fact there were 35 files in the resources folder rather than just 5 in all the downloads I got from the Adobe site.
Adobe Flash Player is a multimedia player that plays the SWF and is in-built in most browsers. Flash Player for Mac is compatible with Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. While the program takes low network bandwidth and the websites with flash animations load faster on Mac devices, the program takes up a lot of CPU resources. This, in turn, causes crashes or slows down the system. Also, there have been a number of security issues with Flash Player, which makes it susceptible to privacy breaches. Overall, it may not be the best download choice.
If your OS/browser combination does not automatically update the Flash Player, then you can check if you have the latest version at adobe.com/software/flash/about/. If, like me, you find this too long to remember, I link to it at the very top of the FlashTester.org home page. For whatever reason, Adobe does not report the latest version of Flash on Chrome OS.
