Brief Hands-On Report--Adobe Flash Player 9.0.20 (Universal)

Adobe released Adobe Flash Player 9.0.20 and it is a Universal application. This version replaces the beta version of Flash Player 9 released in late June and is available for download via MacUpdate.com. You can go to this Adobe Web page and it will display what version of Flash Player you have installed.

We downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player 9.0.20 on an iMac Core Duo, 15" MacBook Pro and Mac mini Core Duo, mostly without problems. Some time after installing it on our Mac mini Core Duo we noticed that our non-Universal applications, like Microsoft Office, would not launch. This may have been a coincidence because we had no problems after installing it on our iMac and MacBook Pro. The launch issue on our Mac mini was resolved by re-applying the 10.4.7 Combo Updater.
