Ran into a site that "recommended" that it was best viewed with Flash Player 10.x, so did the usual upgrade thing. Only problem was that after installing and enabling Adobe Flash Player 10 in my browser, discovered that it did not work! Even tried enabling and disabling both versions in my browser "add-ons" window, all to no avail.<\/p>\n

A search pointed me to an Adobe bulletin that in effect said "for Windows and Mac, you cannot just do an upgrade on the plug-in". In order to get the new version (10.x) to work, you have to uninstall the old version (9.x), and you have to use the Adobe Flash uninstaller. This was on an Adobe KnowledgeBase article that you can find HERE<\/a>. Better yet, download both the uninstaller and the new version as executables to wherever you download things. Then shutdown all other applications (browsers, word processors, email, etc.) and run the uninstaller.<\/p>\n

After the uninstaller has completed, you should then run the appropriate install depending on your browser – I installed both the Firefox plugin and the IE plugin, simply because there are times when IE is the only browser that will work with some web sites.<\/p>\n

Here are the links for what is required:<\/p>\n
