Hi Emmy,

thanks for the update. We noticed that on Vista even the latest Flash Player has some problems with local connection. When there is a local connection open, text input in textfields is flakey - Flash often misses keystrokes.

I hope that this can be fixed soon - or that I am mistaken somehow!

Thanks,

Josh

deffinately still glitchy.

I've got Vista, and Mozilla. I can't seem to finish the download for the installer for Flash Player 9. Any suggestions?

I've got Internet Explorer and every time i try to install flash player 9 it pulls up the user account control and i click continue and then nothing happens and adobe Flash player doesnt install. Any suggestions? I want the User Account Control to still be active to help protect my computer.

I've also have Vista and can't open flash player from my Mozilla. Any Thoughts?

I have vista and I am so disscusted because I can"t get the adobe media player to install. I hate this vista if I can"t get what I want . Can you help me?

I got it installed finally! What you have to do is set FULL permissions under c:\windows\system32\macromed\ folder. Make sure you set the FULL permissions for the "Trusted Installer" option.

There's an EXE file that's in the "flash" subfolder. Run that and it will install. If you want to test if it worked, the fastest way is to go to www.vongo.com

That's what I was trying to test out when I ran into this problem.

For those of you seeking help installing flash player to a browser, remember that each browser requires a PLUGIN to run media in them. Flash player alone won't help you, if your browser does not recognise it. You can usually get plugins for different browsers at the flash site, or google it. That's what I do!

Vista has alot of kinks to work out that restrict internet surfing, but the security is top notch. I'm loving it.

Is there any update on this 'dropping keystrokes' issue with text entry in Flash using Vista? We run a Flash application which is beginning to be affected by this. I've also noticed this in the flash text entry boxes in the adobe shop when using our Vista test PC. Any ideas?

Dorothy L. Marshall you are a genius thak you so much, my flash player now works. Vista sucks if you have to go to this level to fiddling to fix it. I work in IT so its no problem to me. but the usual user..... come adobe fix the vista problem....

Dorothy L. Marshall...thanks...it works=)
great to know, but it sucked to have to go threw that amount of change just to get it to install!

Guys, Vista doesn't sucks. It just ned more time. Remember XPs birthday. The same situation here ...

Thank you Dorothy L Marshall, your instructions
worked. The exe file in the flash folder
seems to be a fix of some sort for the problem
that VISTA users are having. This problem
reminds me of the MAC commercial about VISTA
security problems. Thanks again.

I'm so glad this worked for everyone else but I haven't had the same luck. I've tried all of the steps Dorothy suggested but I'm still at square 1. I got frustrated and got firefox but being as though I'm a graphic designer I actually have to TEST sites in IE. Can anyone offer any additional suggestions or tell what I'm doing wrong? Thanks =)

i have vista and i have a problem with the flash player,i cant watch anything live or video...can someone help me.

thanks

yeh ive got nearlly all the way through but were is the "Trusted Installer" option please
