Hi all, 
I'm trying to install Adobe Flash Player 9 so that I can view YouTube videos. The browser I use most of the time is Firefox 2.0.20 - which is the latest version I'm allowed to run on OS 10.3.9.
When I click on the dmg file icon here......
I get the window shown here:
The Flash Player disk will not mount so that I can begin the install.
Do you guys have any idea why? 
Thank you all in advance for your help.

You posted a picture of the disk image mounted. Just drag the two Flash files onto the Internet Plug-ins aliases.

Art Vandelay,
That works ... but  ... the flash video pauses every so often and then restarts.

What Mac are you on ?
OS 10.3 indicates an older model. It might just not have enough CPU power to do Flash right.
Flash is quite demanding when it comes to resources.

Hi turtle,
Everything worked fine before I had the hard drive replaced last week. I'm using a PowerBook 800MHz DVI ... but like I said, it used to play flash videos just fine before the hardware replacement and reload.

You might have had installed an older version, which was not as "bloated" as the newer versions.
Adobe does a really crappy job optimizing Flash. So anything you download today works *in theory*, but they don't care about performance on older machines.
You might have to find an older version of flash that was specifically made for OS X 10.3
