Hi all. I just went from Windows XP 32bit to Windows 7 Pro 64bit. I'm having a hard time picking which Adobe Reader to get, Flash Player, AIR and Shockwave Player to get. Please give me the links.
-
....the latest ones?
Flash should already be built in to your browser; if it isn't, it will tell you where to go.
Also, is google not working or something? Or is http://adobe.com not reachable from where you live?
-
The Air and Adobe reader pages from The_E's link auto detect your system which should be correct.
as for Flash and Shock arnt they one system now? I know Chrome has them built in and I am sure the others do, or at least should. if you need separate download then again The_E's link is the place to go

Well I was searching through MSN and I chose to use, "Adobe reader windows 7 64bit" and a search and so I got a huge list of the different kinds of adobe reader downloads. So I thought 10.1.8 because that was what the tech who put my computer together used. And when I tried to update that, it said that there were no updates.
BTW: Have you been watching Unsere Mütter, Unsere Väter in Germany? I was told that it will be aired, in the US on January 14, 2014. It looks pretty good. Tell what you think?

i always instal the latest firefox. i then get flash and java, their websites usually autodetect your browser and system and install the right thing for you. i always use foxit reader instead of acrobat, its updates are smaller and its generally less of a pita to work with (i know because i read a lot of datasheets).
-
I'm pretty sure that shockwave is dead (or rolled into flash as a separate file format) at this point.
As for getting Adobe Reader: Don't. Instead, get any one of the free alternatives to it. I use FoxIt (http://www.foxitsoftware.com/Secure_PDF_Reader/), and it seems to work pretty well.

Or you can get ninite installer to easily install and update your programs with few clicks.
-
shockwave still exists separately, but hardly anything uses it. i ran into something that required me to go install it within the past several months but i don't remember what. you don't need to install it unless you hit something like that.
-
est1985, you didn't ask a dumb question. It's a lot like other questions i've heard from people before. You just don't want to screw anything up.
-
software comes screwed up, its the responsibility of the user to beat it into submission with a lead pipe until it works.
-
At least he didn't ask which link that he should click after performing a search on google.
