It sounds like when you downloaded or installed Adobe it became the default software to open the file. If this is the case, it's a fairly simple fix.

Go to a file on your computer and right click it.

Then click on Properties.

In the Properties tab, you can select the program you want as the default. Once you do this it should change all the files with the same extensions back to the program that you want to be used.

I hope this helps.

Flash player not installing

1) Check the settings of your anti-virus program. A lot of times an anti-virus program will not let a program download.

2) The main thing with Adobe Flash Player, is that it will NOT install a new version of Flash Player; with an old version present.

And it will NOT automatically delete the old version.

Use the Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller tool.
Then go back to Adobe Flash Player Support, and download AND install the newest version of Adobe Flash Player.

Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller tool,

http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

Go down to the bottom of the page, where it states in bold print -
Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller
Click on the blue - Tech note - in the paragraph.

Takes you to here,

http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html

Scroll down to -
1. Download the uninstaller for Flash Player
Click on the blue - uninstaller - underneath the above heading. [Uninstaller (674KB) ]

A small window will come up. Click on Save File.
A small download window will come up.
Allow the file to fully download, then DOUBLE-click right on the file name.

At the bottom of the next 3 small windows, click on Next, Next, and Finish.
If you are not asked to restart your computer, do so.

When Windows loads back up again, go back to Adobe Flash Player Support, download and install the newest version of Adobe Flash Player.

I go to alot of websites for their information and they say I need adobe flash player to view the info. I have downloaded it but it never works.

You probably need the newest version of Adobe Flash Player for those websites.

Yes, I read where you downloaded it, but there is a flaw.

Adobe Flash Player will NOT uninstall the old version. Therefore it won't use the new version until the old version is removed. Adobe Flash Player does Not remove the old version automatically. (As many other programs do)

YOU have to manually remove the old version, before you can install the new version.

Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller.

http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

Yep. Same place as the Adobe Flash Player new version.
Adobe Flash Player Support Center.

Go to the bottom of the page.
Under the heading Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller, you will see Tech Note in blue.
Click on it.

Or this is the page it takes you to. (I just wanted you to see how to find it)

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html

To the right of number 1, click on the blue - uninstall_flash_player.exe
I would set it so that it goes to your desktop screen. Much easier to find.

After the file has downloaded, go to your desktop screen.
Double-click right on the file name.
Install it.

Now run the file.
Restart your computer.
Go back to the Adobe Flash Player Support Center, and download the latest version.
Install it.
Restart your computer.

Let me know how that works in a Comment.

My Compaq Presario CQ60 is overheating

Same issue with one I'm looking at here. A number of people have reported that using the new nvidia display drivers results in the laptop running much cooler. The download link is below, also make sure to uninstall all the other applications that come with the driver package and leave only the following.
Best of luck, Ravi Shanghavi

RCA e-book Reader

There's a Russian site that has software called book designer 4. Not the new version, but version 4. You can convert any text, html or word file. (Depending on your version of Word.) You can also use a LIT converter to convert LIT files to html.

Since I'm a huge fan fiction reader, this works for me. Good Luck!
