Flash Player & Win 2000

[chicchio]

Hello !
I have an old laptop, win Windows 2000 SP4; it is a P II 333MHz.
On Adobe site, I found that minimum system requirements for Flash Player 10
are PII at 450 MHz.
Can I try to install it despite the slower processor ?
Thanks in advance, Chicchio.

Go ahead and try. I don't know if it actually checks. The requirement
just means that some flash animation may not work well, if at all.

It should run, but probably very slow. It's slow on my dad's old Dell
Optiplex (P4 Prescott; 512 MB of RAM, crappy onboard video). IIRC, Flash
has a setting to do low quality to speed up.

So try it and let's us know how it goes.

Thanks for the help.
I tried FP 10, but had to return back to FP 9.0.47 and it was difficult, I
had to erase many entries in reg file.
Anyway, now I have FP 9.0.47, and all is ok but...
everytime I go on a page with flash content, a window appears saying
"Download and install a newer version... ", I click NO, and all is OK.
Is there anyway to get rid of this window definitively ?
I want FP 9 forever !
Thanks in advance !

No idea. Ask in Adobe's forum.
