Thanks much Tim, It is now installed and my E-card selections are playing music again. One more basic question. I had copied the dmg file to my desk top and assume I can now delete that from the desk top as well as the dmg file in my download folder. The other file on my desk top is Flash Player Volume. Can I copy this to the application folder then delete it off the desk top?

hi, That file is the Installer package and thus should not be placed in the Applications folder. You can either run it from the dmg or copy and paste it to your Desktop and run it from there. Once you open it, Adobe is less than perfect with respect to accessibility so there are some tricks that you'll need to use. Instead of using VO navigation, use your tab key and the spacebar. That is, tab through the dialog and VO will read the button or element that is focused, then just press the spacebar to activate the button or checkbox. Once everything has been installed, there will be a Done button that you can press and all is good. Later...

I recently upgraded to Lion and found I needed to install a new Adobe Flash player. Never having done this before, I found some instructions in the archives and followed them. 1. downloaded the file 2. In my download folder, I opened the dmg file and there was a single .app file inside 3. I copied that file into my application folder 4. I deleted the volume on my desk top Now in my app folder is the file InstallAdobeFlashPlayer.app I couldn't find anything that said I needed to do more. I never saw an installer screen etc. What else is needed?

Hi, Just use your spacebar. That is, in the Flash installer, you can tab around then when you wish to activate your button or checkbox, just hit the spacebar. Notice, no VO keys at all, just the tab key and the spacebar. That should do it for you. HTH. Later...

I thought I was being so smart by not letting Adobe update automatically. But every time I go to YouTube, there's another stupid Flash update. Sheesh! Anyway, it's clear that there are some images that need clicking or something. I got so frustrated looking for the install that when my sighted husband walked by, I just let him click it. <grin.> But now it says it's done. I can tab through radio button, let adobe update for me, learn more and then to a done button. But I can't seem to click on the done button. First I tried VO-space, then enter. Then I thought I remembered from an earlier discussion about mouse keys so I then tried VO-command-4 to route the mouse cursor. Then I tried shift-VO-space to click the mouse. It made a nice clicking sound, but didn't work. I think it just landed on "image" rather than a done button. I'm a little ahead of myself here in terms of learning mouse keys and the like. But boy, I'd sure like to dump this installer. Help! <grin.> Thanks a huge bunch to any and all of you who can sort me out. No cheating now. My hubby is at the hardware store. Hahahaha! Thanks.
