flash (macromedia): ok, here is my problem. I have never had a problem from flash until 2 days ago.
I got on the computer when i got home that day from work and everything was
normal. After supper i got back on and went to americasarmy.com and noticed the
screen was cut into boxes and had little square boxes with red and blue in
them, and promted me to install flash player. So i clicked yes, nothing
happened. so i went to add remove programs and tried to delete it then
re-install the program. after downloading the un-installer, i removed it. I
re-booted and went to the adobe site to dl it again. I clicked on the "download
flash player" and it took me to another screen that talked about the prompt you
may get from the pop-up blocker and all. Well, i never got that prompt. my
internet activity on my router flashed showing activity and then stopped. I
went back to add/remove and it was there again. So i was like "great it is
fixed"...WRONG! I went back to the AA site and to the adobe flash player test
page and it still doesn't work....any ideas? Thanks so much for any help[. This
one is really making me pull my hair out! :confused;

Something similar happened to me a few weeks ago, seems that windows xp's
invisible updates can wack out your IE settings (you didn't say you were
running IE on XP)...plus, my Norton antivirus update also wacked out the Active
X controls once, too. Using trendmicro now, hope that doesn't happen with that,
either....also, troubleshoot by using opera or firefox instead and/or go to
another computer.

sry...yes i am running ie on xp. Well i got the axtive x prompt fixed but i
still cannot get it to work! I go to a website and it says that i need fp 9 to
view, so i click the active x and the install button, then the install/don't
install box pops up, it pauses for a few seconds and then the install/don't
install box pops up- again!!! I have tried deleting it then going through all
of this and still no fix!! Please help!!!!
