Hello Folks, I consider Flash to be a virus<G>. It tries to install it's self without my permission when I attempt to visit web pages using it. I'm a control freak it is my computer and I insist on controlling what happens with/on it. So I use an alternate browser (Avant IE based) I have gone into it's tools> internet options and blocked ActiveX/Java/animations/and video. If there is something that I need to change the settings for I set a new restore point in System Restore (SR), change my browser settings view what I have to then use SR to revert to my previous settings. Hint: set a new restore point called " Test" then go back to SR and try to restore the "Test" restored point using System Restore. This will confirm that System Restore is working correctly on your computer. System Restore in ME/XP (sorry not in Win 98) is found in the Accessories from; Start> All Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Restore Mike the mod @ vista_ http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/vista_/ ******* REPLY SEPARATOR ********* On 1/11/2008 at 8:25 PM GMan wrote: Hi Terry, While nothing in particular jumps right out at me, I am very aware of a= Flash issue that is causing numerous problems for folks under varying conditions and your situation may be related.
