I am trying to install adobe flash reader for ubuntu 8.04 and its not working.

[Ilovecomputers]

either youtube or any video flash website takes me to adobes site to download the flash player. i cant watch video when i load adobe flash player and install the package and the plugin it still wont play the video and the video sites like youtube direct me to the plugin and adobe link. is there anything that i am doing wrong? i will mention that this is an old system with a very slow processor. i also mention that i checked firefox for the the plugin and i dont see it in there or the addons. i would like some help step by step what to do thanks.

Hi,
I just installed Ubuntu 8.4, followed the instructions at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-ins...rdy-heron.html (http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-adobe-flash-player-10-in-ubuntu-804-hardy-heron.html)
but when I tried to install the player I recieved the error message "error:wrong architecture-i386" I have installed Ubuntu 8.4 with a partition on a new Dell with Vista. Is there an alternate flash player?
Thanks for any help...
