Windows 8 Help
11 Answers
Yes I know I'm a Dummy (at least I admit it) I have a need to view a BBC iPlayer program and have downloaded the iPlayer but I'm told I need Flash player. When I try to download Flash Player I am told I can't as it is already integrated into Windows 8. Can someone please give me "A" to "Z" guidance. Thanks. Tel

Hi telboy.....I am completely lost when it comes to Windows 8. However, the following might be of assistance to establish 'Desk Top Mode'. :- http://www.t echrepublic. com/blog/win dows-and-off ice/open-lin ks-in-the-wi ndows-8-desk top-internet -explorer-ev ery-time/ Al.

Flash Player is already installed as you are operating on Windows 8. Perhaps the following is of some help to you :-

Hi Alston & WyeDyde, Thanks for info but it looks like I am a bigger Dummy than most. I am not able to find the window with the "spanner" icon in order to select the "view on the desktop" selection. What page should I have in view in order to reveal the application bar? Until I find the App bar I cant open the tools menu. I guess there is a simple mistake I'm making but I can't see what it is. So I'm in your hands guys. Tel

Both of you have been extremely helpful and I have managed to ensure my IE is in Desktop mode. I still am unable to view either BBC iPlayer or the ITV equivalent. Both tell me I need to install Adobe Flash Player although windows 8 is supposed to have it integrated into either Desktop or its other mode. Any other help guys? thanks. Tel
