Thanks, I will try those two URLs and Bookmark them for later use
(if I can remember).

The Adobe Flash update that ends with .188 that the XP box can't
complete might soon get an update and the XP box would grab that one
O.K.

But I will try the macromedia links even though the EXE has a S at the
end that I think should go between the fla h_player in both URLs.

                                          s

When I go to Control Panel - Flash and click to check for updates, when
Firefox opens, the address is Adobe instead of Macromedia.
For IE I just C&P the FF address into IE to get the ActiveX version.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I believe Macromedia became part of
Adobe in the 1980's???.

I hope the Downloads get accepted.
73 es Thanks!
