“Adobe’s Web site recommends users update to the most current
version of Flash Player available for their platform. Users can go
to this Adobe site to verify the version of Flash Player on their
computers.

“Flash Player versions 10 and later are not available for the
Microsoft Windows 98 or Windows ME, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) Macintosh
OSX 10.1 to 10.3, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4, Adobe said
on its Web site. That is because they are not supported on older
operating systems and these operating systems’ manufacturers will
not fix problems in them, according to Adobe’s Web site.

“Adobe has developed Flash Player 9.0.159.0, a patched version
of Flash Player 9, for users who cannot update to version 10. It
can be downloaded from this Web page.”
