Greetings, The following should work:
Remove all traces of nspluginwrapper from your 64 bit machine(s). Then go to the Adobe website, and download and then install: adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm After that, you can install Flash x64 from Adobe. Hope this helps, doug > > Bonnie, > > I stand corrected. I just tried a website that asked for the > flash-plugin (x86_64).
