Thanks. First of all, on your menu bar select [Help > About Plugins]. Do you see Flash? Then use SeaMonkey to visit <http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/>. Do you pass the Flash installation test? If the answers to both questions is "Yes", then you have properly installed Flash. The message about needing the Flash player is often the result of the combination of two errors in the Web server. These are USAToday's problems, not yours. The first error is that the server is sniffing for what browser you are using by looking for "Firefox". If sniffing can be justified at all, the server should sniff for "Gecko". The second error is that the server has been coded to give the wrong response when sniffing fails to provide a recognized browser. Instead of telling you that you need IE or Firefox -- ignoring the fact that there are a number of other browsers in use -- it's telling you that you need Flash. The workaround for these problems is to spoof IE or Firefox. Spoofing methods have been thoroughly discussed in other threads in this newsgroup. Followed your instructions: about plugins and I found Flash there. Visited Flash and it said: " successfully installed" I then spoofed USA Today with IE and there was no message that I needed to install Flash. Thank you David!!! Thanks to everone that helped. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I seem to remember that the file npswf32.dll had to go to specific locations. Thank you. just install the Mozilla version. I have experienced that i always succeed if SM is not running during the installation of the "Flash Player for SeaMonkey" (for this, you have first go to http://get.adobe.com/fr/flashplayer/ then accept the installation - then choice "Save on Disk" - followed by SM shutdown and double-clik on the file just downloaded) Just to mention that "go to http://get.adobe.com/fr/flashplayer/"; must be done unsing SM, not IE :-) BUT it's better to go to http://www.adobe.com/ then find the "Get Adobe Flashplayer" button, because my links will give you a french interface that perhaps you did not understand :-) I have been trying to do what you wrote for which I thank you, but haven't been successful. I did get Flash to work on my Internet Explorer. I'm not very good on using computers. I have downloaded the Flash uninstaller and then closing SeaMonkey and trying to get it installed. Anyway, thank you. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
