Well, I don't know where or why you are getting an extension. Using SeaMonkey, I went to <http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/> and downloaded install_flash_player.exe. I then terminated SeaMonkey and disabled my Internet connection. When I double-clicked on install_flash_player.exe, Flash 10.1 r82 was installed on my C-drive at [c:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash]. After re-enabling my Internet connection, a test at <http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/> was successful. There was no extension and no Adobe DLM. My configuration is (in part): Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1 (service pack 3) Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.11) Gecko/20100701 SeaMonkey/2.0.6 -- David E.
