    Just reset laptop to factory settings. Went to "gemcraft-chasing shadows" game site. Downloaded flash player as requested and flop. It says it stopped working. Old laptop running on vista 32 bit with 1 gig RAM and celeron 900 processor. Old version of flash player needed by any chance or am I barking up the wrong tree? Thanks in advance folks. (BTW I cannot afford a new laptop so have to make do for now) :(

    Go to add/remove programs
    Remove all mentions of Adobe flash player
    Reinstall

    Remove Flash Player, then download a program called CCleaner and run the registry cleaner that comes as part of it, which should remove all mention of Flash Player from the registry. Then reinstall from adobe.com and see if it works then.

    No. It's not compatible. Just been on adobe support n it isn't compatible. I need an older version but can't seem to find a genuine one. Thanks PropJoe10.

    I wouldnt advise you to use old versions of Flash Player for anything, Adobe products are notoriously insecure and you'd be opening yourself up to viruses and spyware. If you want to try it, maybe this page would be useful for you:
