Trying to listen to the Richard Dawkins series on 'The Age of the Genome'
which is available for replay on the BBC Radio 4 website.
I saw it needed Flash installed (to my Windows XP 32-bit MSIE), so I did
that.
It still does not work. When I click the 'Listen Now' prompt, nothing
whatever happens.

Can anyone throw any light ?

Works for me using Firefox 3.6.28 and on Internet Explorer 6 - using Windows
XP Home SP3.

TNP,

Quite happy with the older versions (including Office 97 Pro [1]) -
especially as they work as I want them too.

I 'upgraded' to Windows 7 [2], when it first came out (bought Home Premium
versions for £80 from PC World for two computers) along with Office XP etc
just to be modern (and keep No1 son from nagging me - and took the lot off
and reverted back to my old systems after a fortnight). All the new stuff
now seems to be rather bloated and reliant on too many ribbons, needless
bells and whistles and mouse clicking to make them 'work' - and the last
time I tried Linux, I spent more time trying to get peripherals to work than
using the bloody OS and finally ditched it. Admittedly that was way back
around 2000/2002 and messing with it as part of a college project.

That's the trouble with being a bloody old fogey - you get used to the easy
life - such as DOS, Windows 3, 95, 98, NT and 2000 (I still occasionally use
95 and 98). vbg

[1] Went back to college for around five years just before and after I
retired, and managed to pick up a few qualifications in the use of both
software and hardware - along with the knack of where to hit the bloody
computer with a big 'ammer when all else fails :-)

[2] I didn't bother partaking in the 'joyful' experiences of Windows ME
and Vista.

I think you need a fairly recent version of flash, but apart from that
sometimes it may say its there, but its not till the next day. However if
its definitely there, then I have no answer.

Note that both use flash built add ins, its jst that firefox often installs
it silently.]

Indeed in some cases Flash in firefox does not function completely without
the IE patch active x installed as well as some of the routines are needed
for the control buttons to work correctly in firefox.

Only episode four is available, but that one works for me.
