You may not be at adobe or you may already have the player. Go through disney.com
to ensure a reliable link.

Install FireFox then go here, click on the yellow Download Adobe Reader button. The
download should start in a few seconds.

If you go there with IE you get a completely different web page which gives you
Adobe Reader with Google Toolbar where you have to click on the yellow Continue button
then on the next page click on the yellow Download Adobe Reader Plus
additional Software button.
Better yet, dump Adobe Reader completely and install Foxit
PDF Reader. It works great, is fast and not bloated.

thank you very much for your suggestion. i did install firefox and then went to the
adobe sight and installed the flash player and it installed fine and is working fine.
being a computor dummy i did not realize you could use more than one browser. for
some reason on internet explorer i was not able to download it. thanks again.

Kathy, glad it worked out for you. FF is a safer browser than IE.

That was a unique solution. If you do need IE, look into "upgrading" back to version
6.

Yep. And IE 7 just presents problems, as far as I can see.

Damn!! really !! I may have to test this, but not so sure I can do it without validating
xp... I will not install crap I don't need on my system, and it is unethical to do
it on somone elses. But MS does make it so easy to re-install and re-validate!!!!!
