Where Is Flash Player

[Dan Drewry]

I think I've succeeded in saving a YouTube video to my disk using
YouTubex, and I'm told I need Flash Player to view it. I downloaded
Flash Player, but the installer didn't say where it was putting it. I
can't find it using Search. It shows up on the list of installed
programs, but with no size indicated. Any idea what my problem is?

If it is installed correctly it is automatically used when needed. Did you
try the video again?

What operating system? Vista? I seem to remember a problem with the
flash install if UAC was turned off or if you didn't right click and
run the install as admin.

Oh - I meant to include more info - Windows XP and Firefox.
I'm suspicious of the fact that there is no size shown on the list of
installed programs. Why can't I find it with Search - Isn't it called
Flashplayer.com or something similar?

On my WinXP-SP2 system, some or all of Flash appears to be located in
the folder "macromed" tucked away in c:\windows\system32 .
