iMac intel -can't install flash9 -MIME problem? imacsue

macromedia players flash: I was trying to print some cards from designhergals.com and I was prompted to
get the newest version of flash. I downloaded it but when it installed and
opened up I got this message that the page has content of MIME type
"application/x-shockwave-flash" a plug in and directs me to adobe to find this
plug in. No one at adobe seems to know what this is-nor did the person I spent
an hour with a apple support.

I now have no flash-despite trying even to download archived flash versions.
I have reinstalled both safari and foxfire, restarted my computer many times,
reinstalled flash and unistalled flash.

I am at my wits end, Apple says this is a adobe problem, adobe says they don't
offer support on this,

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Just wanted to let you know that I have tried running this through Rosetta and
on other browsers to no avail.
I did find a previous thread referencing downloading Pacifist- and installing
just the original flash, but this is from months ago- and i think refers to
flashplayer 8. I am willing to give it a try-but am kind of afraid in a way.
I can't believe apple and adobe cannot help me in this situation-after I paid
apple extra for support. How can adobe offer a product that potentially messes
up your computer-with no references (that actually do anything) on how to fix
it on their help pages?

So frustrating-and i've spent hours on this! any one out there- please help!
