Thats what i thought, i have dowloaded the Flash player but everytime i try to view a file i get an error message giving me an option to search for an appropriate program to view file on either internet on computer.

If i selsct internet it just takes me to the Flash download page(although i have already got flash)

If i select computer i cannot find the flash player any where ?

HELP ??

tell your computer to open it with internet explorer

close the browser and open it again, oddly this sometimes is a issue when installing flash player.

if you've installed flash player and you have a SWF it'll open and play it, as long as it's a true ShockWaveFlash file.
