Flash Player
(ver 10.1r102.64)
Abandoned Freeware


The Adobe Flash Player is available here in three forms: 
An Internet Explorer plugin, a FireFox (and similar 
browsers) plugin, and a Standalone version that will 
play Flash (*.flv) files outside of a browser.


Internet Explorer = flashplayer10_1r102_64_winax.zip

FireFox = flashplayer10_1r102_64_win.zip

Standalone = flashplayer10_1r102_64_win_sa.zip


Note: This is the LAST VERSION that was designed to
be compatible with the Windows 2000 operating system.

TIP: FireFox will constantly post a message saying 
"Some plugins used by this page are out of date.".  
To stop this message from appearing, open the firefox 
browser and type in the address bar "about:config".
If you receive a warning message about voiding your 
warantee, just ignore it and say you will be careful.  
Now scroll down the page to
"plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin".  Double-click 
on the line, which will change the setting from "false" 
to "true".  Close the window, and the messages about 
your plugins being out-of-date will now stop appearing.  


----------

Although not officially supported, the newer versions of 
Adobe Flash are actually fully compatible with Win2k.  It 
is only the installer that has been modified (in an attempt 
to force you to abandondon Win2k in favor of XP???) so that 
setup won't run on Win2k.  

It turns out though that the programmers goofed slightly, 
and they used the older installer parameters for the non-IE 
version of Flash 11.1.102.55.  As such, I am including a 
copy which installs and runs fine under Win2k with Firefox.
