I need to access a web page which requires installation of the latest 
version of Adobe Flash Player. I've had this problem before, and when I 
opened the first web page I was prompted to download the Flash Player Active 
EXE control, which I did. On this latest page, however, when I select the 
option to "Watch live", I'm sent to a page that says I need to download the 
latest version of Adobe Flash player. I go to the Adobe download center page 
to download the player, follow all the steps, and get to the point where it 
tells me I may need to click on the gold bar to complete the download, and 
we all love those messages! I ignore this prompt and continue with the 
installation. It asks if I want to install the Yahoo toolbar, and I uncheck 
that. I then click on the install button. The next page has an accessibility 
link where I can use the HTML version of the web page to download Adobe, but 
when I click that link, I'm right back at the beginning on the Flash player 
version of the Adobe website, and need to start over. How can I download the 
player and use it with JAWS? I'm using the update to JAWS 8.0 with Windows 
XP. Thanks.
