I have just installed GEFORCE 210 graphics card with a new 23" Viewsonic screen using hdmi. I installed the latest ver of Flash Player ( 18 ) and it rejected the install. Firefox apparently told me it wanted no later than Flash Player 10 or 11. I can't even find the free download for either one. Help!

My advice is to use the Extended Support Release - Flash Player 13.0.0.296 on WinXP - it appears about 3/4 of the way down the page that philipp linked. That version receives security updates, but not the new features which are primarily for Vista, Win7, and Win8 operating systems.

hello, you should always install the latest version of flash. for firefox you will need the windows .exe-version for "plugin-based browsers" from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
