flash (macromedia): I have just gotten back to working on my XP machine and flash content
disappears after about 1 to 2 seconds. Even on the Macromedia home page, the
entire top of their page shows up and goes away. I have read about the xp sp2
problems and I did recently upgrade. I have read the fixes about there (i.e.
pop up blocking level, puting <!-- saved from url=(0013)about:internet --> in
the htm file...none of this works. Firefox works fine, IE doesn't. When I
publish with preview in the Flash IDE - no luck either.

Do my problems sound like they are related to XP sp2? If any one out there
has seen this type of behavior and has suggests...many thanks in advance.

Any browser extensions installed? e.g. google or yahoo bar?

I found the problem...it was my firewall software...it was blocking popup ads...
