.flv/Flash Player/Windows 8.1

I can't seem to be able to run .flv videos on my HP laptop. I am running 8.1 and have even downloaded the latest version of Flash Player from Adobe. AFP doesn't come up as a option when I right-click the .flv file and try the "open with" option. Oh and when I search for"Adobe Flash Player" in my computer the Flash Player Settings Manager pops up...that it.

FYI, I'm good to go as far as running it online is concerned, the app in Firefox is active. I simply can't run it in the laptop itself. Any ideas fellows?

BTW, I did search the forum and no help was found.

 

Thank you and I am D/Ling Shark007's free Advanced Codecs for Windows 8.1 now and will install them. I will watch out for those files and let you know how it works.

I use to run the VLC player in my old puter. In this case, however, I was just wondering why the darned AFP isn't working?

 

BINGO! My .FLV video plays in Windows Media Player...THANKS!
