I was on my AOL homepage when I connected to Adobe. After reading the reply
from Ray Parrish and not seeing the link for a stand alone installer, I
wondered if different browsers would display the page that differently. So, I
copied the address from the AOL page and pasted in my Opera browser. Sure enough,
the page displayed differently (no check box for terms agreement was only one
difference). Clicked the download button and it downloaded properly.
So I guess it had something to do with an Adobe/AOL communication problem???
When I installed Opera, I chose to make it my default (where exactly in
control panel do I find this setting?)
And lastly, Russ, At first, not knowing better, I was going to load 98 then
upgrade but saw in a different thread here that what you suggested was
possible so that's actually what I did. sorry for the ommision.
Thanks for all replies

After a recent re-format and installation of windows (98se then xp home
upgrade), I find I often get a notice that a page I'm visiting on the
internet
contains materials that require Adobe Flash Player to display properly.
When I
click their link to load the player, I am sent to this page
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFla
sh
On that page I check the box indicating I accept terms and then click
"install now". This only seems to re-load the same page and no download
takes place.
Questions: 1) Any ideas why it doesn't download
2) It says on the page it automatically downloads to
internet explorer but I always use Opera as my browser. Is there a
place in Opera to download it to or should I allow it to go to IE (if I
get it to download at all!)
