I’ve been having computer problems. Internet Explorer kept taking forever to load sites and Firefox wasn’t really being friendly on my Windows box. So what do I do? Uninstall Flash player 8 first. It’s a beta and sometimes they cause problems. Then I install Flash Player 7 and test out my browsers again. Everything back to normal, whoo-hoo! But now I don’t have 8 anymore, and I want it, heck I need it. What do I do? Go back to the Flash Player 8 page and re-install. Test again and voila, all works perfect. It seems I having been keeping up to date. Now I have Flash Player version 8,0,15,0 installed, the latest and greatest player. Now it’s your turn to make sure you’re up to date. Open a website with a Flash movie or game or application and right-click or control click (Mac). Select About Flash Player 8… from the drop down menu. This will open a page on Macromedia’s site with more information on Flash player. On the right your version number will be displayed. If you don’t have 8,0,15,0 as of today, you don’t have the latest version of the beta. Upgrade for the best experience. Remember it’s beta so it’s not really done yet. If you want this to be more automatic you can change your automatic global notifications to check for Flash player updates as often as every 7 days via the Macromedia Flash Player Settings Manager’s Global Notification Settings Panel.
