I have downloaded the new Flash 9 (Flash9d.ocx and FlashUtil9d) into
c/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash after deleting all previous activeX and Flash
files, but can't get the files to run. They do not show up on my list of
programs and web sites keep telling me to download Flash. I am not a heavy
computer user, but have two kids that are driving me crazy to get this loaded
so they can use their websites. After 5 hours so far, I'm not close. Can any
one help me? I'm using windows XP with a verizon Fios connection.
