Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Anybody know where I can find a download of Flash 9? Somehow, mine got corrupted. hulu, et al, worked yesterday, today it does not. I can't upgrade to Flash 10 on this pokey little 'puter.
I've crawled all over adobe, macupdate and version tracker.
This feels like such a simple thing, and yet, I'm failing. And flailing.

Adobe has issued a security update to v9. [link] Work is all atwitter, so figured it is worth mentioning.
Of course, I think I got the old one just a few days ago. Figures.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone know where I can find drivers for the DVD drive on an HP Pavilion HP dv4z-1000? My sister just screwed herself.

All is well that ends in pizza.
ita, can she just find a restore point, or doesn't she have that enabled?

So far it looks like they want you to buy the restore disks -- he'll keep looking

Oh, fuck. I'm going to have her call support. I can't walk her through all this from here. If Vista shipped with restore points enabled, then maybe it's an option.

If she's got the HP Help & Support option installed (not the default Windows H&S), there's a scan option in there which can automatically download drivers: link
For some reason, HP doesn't allow direct driver downloads for all of their hardware, especially on Vista....
