...."Strictly speaking, Adobe Flash is the authoring environment and Flash Player is the virtual machine used to run the Flash files, but in colloquial language these have become mixed: "Flash" can mean either the authoring environment, the player, or the application files.".....
As I said, those with the ambition to learn, will do so. How much gibberish is "Flash Player is the virtual machine used to run the Flash files"? Let's pick this apart.
1. You should have figured out that Flash Player is a program.
2. Virtual, in this instance, means something similar to:
Computer Science Created, simulated, or carried on by means of a computer or computer network: virtual conversations in a chatroom
3. Machine an implement, defined as:
1.any article used in some activity, esp. an instrument, tool, or utensil: agricultural implements.
So essentially: 2+3= Virtual machine: program used to simulate a video receiver and player.
4. Flash files, those files which are created using the authoring program known as Adobe Flash.
5. Therefore a flash player is a video program used to display files that have been created in the flash format. And if you do not have one installed on your computer, you cannot view flash files. If Javascript is also needed to call the flash player to play, and it is not turned on, then you will not be able to view the flash files.
I'm sorry this was so difficult for you to understand. Please tell me why you have the user name Old Wise One when you have so many questions that you don't seem to be able to find the answers for on your own?
Okay, mine is going to be a little bit simpler in nature.
CC, you know how I access the power button on my computer? Well, someone's large fingers seems to have knocked it sideways (so much for my "let ME do it!" pleas)...is this going to be a problem? If so, can you come down here and help me fix it? But for right now, it does still turn on and off, even if I have to manipulate my hand around a bit. LOL

Ohh I have a question! One day the computer blipped out on me and shut down, and when I restarted it ALL of our bookmarks were GONE. And I've been bookmarking stuff since I got this computer in 2001. I was P.O'ed. Is there ANY way to recover them?
Also, Aaron set it up so it asks you if you will allow or deny cookies on every single page I click on...which is fine and dandy, except when it asks me five and six different times on different things on the page. UGH! How do I turn that off?

Standard sized motherboard size or mini? I can't use the mini. But I can pick it up if it's standard, AFTER I get some money and you tell me where to go.
Daisy if there is a trick to recovering the lost bookmarks, I don't know what it is. I've never been able to do it. Possibly running an undelete program in the folder could retrieve some. Depends on how much has been overwritten.

I think you need a whole new case. Let me see if I can find one and we will just rebuild the inside. No more worrying about that button.

CC, thanks for that informative packet.

I have a case or two if you can pick it up...

It's a Gateway tower (was grandma's computer til it got struck by lightning... was easier to just get her another one. ;)
We may have some other oddball parts you might want. I'll have to talk to The Computer Dude...
