Problem downloading flash plugin :(

Hey everyone

Im new at this forum. I have a question: When I go on the flash [macromedia] website, I cannot download the flash plugin. I click on Install Now, then I wait for 10 minutes and nothing's happening. I think it's a problem concerning my cookies or something.

Please help! Thanks!

Please tell us what Operating System (including version number) and what Browser you are using

Okay, well I'm using Internet Explorer 6 and Windows XP Professional (Im not sure of the version number though...)

Wow, that's very odd

Trying clicking this direct link to the .exe download: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get...ash_player.exe

Anything?

If not, you must have some security measure (ie: firewall) blocking .exe downloads... I'm not really sure to be honest

Is the computer within a larger network or is it just your home machine plugged into a modem?

I can download the link, but after the installation, nothing's happening :/

I went on a site with flash content but still, it showed up as a X.

Well I have a firewall... I have Bit Defender 9 Standard.

Im not sure what you mean (Im not a pro with internet connections and stuff) but here, we have 3 computers using the same Internet connection. We have a rotor also...
