Flash Player - can't uprade/install in XP


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I'm trying to open a video on You Tube and I get this error message: 'Hello,

you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash

Player'. So then I try to download and install the latest Adobe Flash Player

and it never installs. Is this something to do with Windows XP?

Flash Player 9 April 2008 Security Update (version 9.0.124.0).

 

1. Check version here:
