Scottie Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I made an earlier post about Flash Player Square. With geeksoup's help, I got it to download, I think. It shows on my downloads. But, when I try to watch a webinar, a message says that I have no Flash Player, & it wants to download it. That's the problem I've had for a week. Do I need to do something to enable it? Thank you, geeksoup, for your help so far, but it seems that we're not there yet. Sigh............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrawr Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 What program are you trying to watch the webinar in? Windows media player, winamp etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Adobe Flash Player, 10.2, I think. It's what Adobe says they have a preview version of, for 64-bit Internet Explorer. They call their preview version Square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 When I downloaded it, was I supposed to choose Save or Run? I chose Save. Is that part of the problem now? Sorry if these are dumb problems, but, like Schultz, "I know NOTHING". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrawr Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Hm, well from what I can gather, webinars need to be viewed in certain programs, such as adobe presenter, microsoft live meetings or similar. Unfortunately, these all seem to require payment, but do have free trials (mostly). Try <a href="http://www.livemeetingplace.com/livemeeting/?gclid=CPH7jL-v8qUCFRZ-5QodcDIAqA">Microsoft Live Meetings</a> or <a href="http://www.gotomeeting.co.uk/fec/global/web_conferencing">Citrix GoToMeeting</a>. Edit: Double click the item in your downloads, the install should be straightforward, if not, feel free to post again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 The message that pops up, when I try to view a webinar, is that I need Adobe Flash Player 9 or better. I haven't gotten messages about any other software than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrawr Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I do apologise, I misunderstood the problem. Ok, if you find the downloaded program (<b>usually in Start > Username > Downloads</b>) and right click it, click open or install, whichever appears in the drop-down menu. Then the install should be easy and should not take long. After this, Adobe Flash Player will be installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 This is Scottie. Re Replly #4: what do you mean, "click the thing in your download"? Where? Go to 'Computer" in my controls? Then what? Click what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrawr Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 When you click start, at the top right of the menu should be your screen name or windows log on name. If you click on that, a new window will open which will have links to things like 'Documents', 'Downloads', 'Pictures', etc. If you open the folder named 'Downloads' there will be a file with the words adobe flash player in it and will most likely have the icon of a grey box with an A on it. If you open this file, it will start the installation of Adobe Flash Player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Scottie again. Re Reply #6 & your next post. Thank you. I think I can do that. That's what I was just asking, so ignore my last question. I guess these problems are humongously simple to a techie, but, for machines that are supposed t o be so sophisticated & automated, they sure have a lot of non-automated things that can trip up ordinary people. I thought downloaded meant "ready to go". It would have been tremendously helpful if Adobe had a message/menu box somewhere in the download process that gave me some choices & some idea of what needed to be done to get the thing running. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your patience. You've probably saved my insurance a bundle on nuthouse commitment costs..........
