    Can't Download Flash Player
    I received an old iMac and was hoping to use it for my kids to play their internet games (Nick Jr, PBS Kids and the like). But the games on those sites require Adobe Flash Player 9 or higher. So I tried to download it with no success. Typically I get to the download screen and it has the drop down box for me to select the version I want to download but then there is no download button for me to start the process. Once it said that I was trying to download to an unsupported operating system. However, I check compatibility and Flash Player 9 is for OSX 10.3 which is what I have. Any suggestions?
    I really appreciate any help. The kids are always driving me crazy over the computer and I would love to get their own up and running. And I am a technical moron so please speak slowly.
    Thanks so much.

    Regards,

    Still a no go. I keep ending up here http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Where I can select Flash Player 9 but there is no download button. I thought perhaps my processor was too slow or not enough RAM since it is an old computer but I check the system requirements and this computer meets them (500 MHz processing speed and 128 MB RAM- I have 500 MHz and 192 MB RAM)
    I am wondering if maybe the upgraded software (OS X 10.3) is taking up too much RAM?
