Hi Tim, I re-downloaded the file just now which had a different file name and got me a lot further with installing flash player. I got as far as agreeing to the license terms. When I press vo space on the "I agree" check box to check it, I'm thrown out of the installer and back into finder. It's as if I pressed the quit button which I didn't. Do you get this problem, and how do you get around it? Thanks so much.
