    Hello My Geeky Friends,

    I found a strange problem with one of the downloads but can not figure out who the webmaster is so I can give them the information.

    Its usually at the bottom of the page, but that looks like someone to contact for adding an ad.

    I tried contacting one of the administrators yesterday, but I think the person thought it was spam.

    I would put the message here, but I dont want to confuse the newbies.

    Thanks for your great site. I use it almost every day.

    Was it a bad link? It's on the top right of the download page.

    LOL, post it anyways. Those guys are pretty busy and I doubt you'd confuse anyone anyways.:)

    Hello Augie:

    The link is fine. But the file has been tampered with. http://majorgeeks.com/Adobe_Flash_Player_d5163.html This should be the file to download the newest flash player.

    This file's name is: install_flash_player. This file is 1.83 megs.

    When you start to install this file, it still appears to be exactly that. See picture 1.

    However, the finished file details tells a different story. See picture 2
    It does not register the file, and it does not run. It appears to uninstall it instead. :confused

    The name of the correct file is: install_flash_player_10_active_x. It is 1.87megs. It runs several different processes and then registers the file. See picture 3. When I installed this file instead, file Flash player worked.

    I could not get my computers to download from adobe site so I came here. The Majorgeeks file did not work, so I finally had to go elsewhere to get a good copy. :(

    I am not sure what happened to majorgeeks' file.

    I hope we can save others from dealing with this problem. :)

    :-o The file at the adobe site does not work either. I tried that download first.

    I tried the Majorgeeks file next, over and over. :cry

    Finally when I saw it was removing instead of installing the file; I looked elsewhere.

    Here is a link to a valid file. Maybe you could compare the two files

    I depend on you guys for amost all of my downloading, and I assume many others do to.

    I am trying to help Majorgeeks get a working copy of this file. :)

    Thanks for checking on this.

    :confused I wonder if some malware guys have been messing with adobe's files.

    We don't allow links to other file sites here, especially 3rd rate wannabes, sorry. Link removed, our file works fine.

    ok fine I did not mean to post it for everyone. just for you to compare. If yours is working now, great becuase I spent about 4 hours trying to get it to work last week without success.

    cheers.

    There is a link to report issues with downloads on the same page, just to the right of middle called 'Report a Bad Link' in red and the owners just jump on that! Good luck eh?:)

    Perhaps it's an issue on your end?:confused It's happened to me.
