187211 2003-10-28 05:49:00 Hi all,

I have been trying to download the Flash player from Macrovision today, but have not had any success...

Has anyone else had this problem?

I have tried different settings for security and Active X settings but no joy...

187213 2003-10-28 06:12:00 Macrovision don't make a Flash Player as far as I know, they specialise in copy protection systems for recorded media.

Macromedia offer a Flash Player however, you might want to try their site perhaps ...?

I must have been reading too many DVD region posts again...

187215 2003-10-28 06:25:00 What kind of no success have you been having? Error messages? Any sign of a download? Any sign of no download?

Mike.

187216 2003-10-28 06:38:00 The first message is a security warning "Do you want to download etc etc"

After clicking "Yes" there all internet activity goes quiet, there is no incoming or outgoing traffic at all...

Even after some time has passed (1/2 hour or so) there is still no traffic...

No error messages...just no traffic and no download.

I am logged on as administrator and have even gone so far as to disable Zonealarm and put IE security to low, so as to accept cookies and display active X components...

This has me stumped...

That is the site I have been trying all day....

Not sure why it is proving such a hassle, I am sure I have downloaded from there before (previous PC incarnations...)

My laptop is having the same prob downloading....

Wonder if it is them and not just me....

Paranoia is a wonderful thing...
