Is it just me or is there a trick?

Question

I am new to the site but I get the following message fore every set of flashcards that I try to go into:

This vocabulary lesson is not available. For other lessons, please visit http://www.spanishdict.com/flashcards

Can anyone tell if these work and what I need to do to make them work for me?

What browser are you running, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari etc? You may need a plugin to view the flashcards or they may not be compatible with Internet Explorer 8. - Alicia2919, Aug 15, 2009

I use IE 8.0.6 and have no problems with the flashcards nor recall installing a plug-in to do so. - 0074b507, Aug 15, 2009

Answer 1

How can you know which version (if any) of Adobe Flash Player runs on your system, Quentin? (Perhaps this belongs as a comment or a new question....please advise.)

Go to your Control Panel, then Add or Remove Programs.

You will find Adobe Flash there. Click on it once to highlight it.

You will then see a link for "Click here for Support Information". Click that and it will tell you exactly which version you have.

Upgrade to the latest Adobe Flash 10.0.32.18

Answer 2

minimum system requirements adobe flashplayer 10

Most of the Adobe product like Adobe Reader or Adobe Flashplayer (or Windows Update) install an update manager on your computer. When you use the application it will usually go online and check to see if there are any updates.

Answer 4

Is it just me....?

Yes, It's just you. You've been cursed by the SpanishDict.com gods. Nothing you try to do here will ever work correctly. (Oh, maybe that's me I'm thinking of).

The advice about installing the Flashplayer 10 player sounded so good that I erased all of my other suggestions. I believe at one time you may have had to have Javascript enabled also, but I haven't seen anything suggesting that for a long time.

Answer 5

It seems like the flash cards are running with Adobe flash player 10. Make sure you have the latest version of the flash player plugin installed. You can download the latest version here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Otherwise, if you are running Internet Explorer 8, try to run the page in compatibility mode (the little page icon at the end of the bar where you type the web address.) The cards seem to work fine for me; however, I am running firefox 3.5. They may work best if you download the Firefox browser as well from Mozilla. You can get that at this site: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html
