Is anyone besides me having problems downloading Adobe reader or flash player? I've tried on a dell xps 400(xp media center, sp2), I've tried on a dell b110 ( xp media center, sp3), and a e-machine (xp media center, sp3). I turned off my AV, and still nothing. I did get the name of flash player, but add remove program showed no file size, and that was all it showed. Any ideas?

Where did you download it from? You could try downloading from HERE and see if it works.

You can try this to remove adobe flash...

And then try the install from the adobe website again. Be sure to uncheck the McAfee install.

Let us know how it turns out.

I never install from the website. Adobe likes to force Air and other junk you don't need.

I use direct link to flash and I use adobe's FTP for reader:

 

Check which version is currently installed:

Uninstall

For FireFox and other browsers: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash _player.exe
