Updating Adobe Flash
I’m writing this from a Windows 7 laptop using Firefox 32,
so your directions for Vista or Windows 8, or using Internet Explorer, might be
just a little bit different. But the
basic idea is still the same.
2) Click
on the Menu in the upper right corner
3) Under
Products, click on Adobe Flash Player
4) In
the first section of the page that opens, it’ll tell you about the operation
system your computer is running. In the
second section, Adobe has the Optional Offer for software. You can uncheck this box to not install that
software, usually McAfee Internet Security.
5) Click
the yellow Install Now button.
6) When
the “You chosen to open” dialog box appears on the screen, save that file in
your Downloads folder. Firefox should
default to that folder automatically.
7) When
the file is done downloading, click on the blue arrow in the upper of Firefox
and then select the “install_flashplayer15xxx” file.
8) When
the Open File – Security Warning appears, click on the Run button.
9) When
the User Account Control box appears, click on the Yes button.
10) Next,
the Update Adobe Flash Player Preferences dialog box will appear. You can choose “Allow Adobe to install
updates” and Flash will automatically update for you. I like to know what’s being updated, I’m
going to choose Notify me to install updates and then click the Next button.
11) Flash
will now download and install.
12) When
it says Installation Complete and shows a green check, you can now click the
Finish button.
13) Adobe
will now open a page to some of their software.
You can feel free to close this page.
14) You
are now done installing Adobe Flash Player.
Adobe Flash Player installs over itself, so there is only
one version of it on your computer. You
can check the version and date it was installed by go to the Control Panel and
then Programs and Features to see when it was installed and what the version
is.
Looks like I might need to update the Flash Player ActiveX
also.
