[SOLVED] Flash NT 9 on Windows NT 4.0?

MegaSvensk · 11-17-2007, 02:17 AM

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to run the latest Flash Player on Windows NT 4.0? The reason I want to know this is that I have an old laptop (400MHz PII, 256MB RAM) that is currently running Windows 2000, but the laptop runs much better with Windows NT 4.0 and the only thing really stopping me from using NT instead of 2000 is that the latest version of Flash doesn't support Win NT, and I have to be able to use YouTube.

Flash does install on NT, but when you go to any site with Flash content, Firefox just crashes (it just closes itself without any warning). But I was thinking that maybe you can maybe put some newer DLLs into the NT system or something to get it to work... Because I have got some newish apps running on NT 3.51 that way.

So has anyone got Flash 9 to work on Windows NT 4.0? If so, how did you do it?

Thanks.

Not a problem here.. There is a good site that lets you download any version of any old software here is what you need.

Thank you. I just checked out the system reqs on Youtube's help system and it does say that v 7 and up are supported. I just assumed that you needed the latest version, but apparently you don't.

I'm using Flash Player version 7.14 now and it works just fine on Youtube and with Flashblock it doesn't slow the PC down at all.
