I am not a computer "geek"...but here is what I discovered affects my pc:
my isp is compuserve. their browser is netscape. If I try to use netscape
for flash or other such add-ons, I go nowhere. Must use IE. ... most
recently, Last night, in fact, needed to get new "shockwave". It froze my netscape.
Had to reboot and do the entire process again from IE.
then.... once flash or shock or whatever is downloaded, you must install
it...
It seems that these things load to the desktop and if you look you will see
something on your desktop that ends with "installer". Click (or double
click--whatever it takes). And "the wheels should start turning".
if you don't find the newly downloaded Flash on your desktop, look in
PROGRAMS.
