I have installed the Flash Player 8.0 yesterday for my computer. My computer
is using Win98SE and I am using Internet Explorer to view the internet. After
the Flash Player 8.0 is installed, the Internet Explorer will have error and
fail to work properly and then the Internet Explorer terminates itself. I have
tried to uninstall the 8.0, but, unfortunately, I have selected my internet
setting so at to "always trust all contents from Macromedia" and the 8.0 will
again reinstall automatically everytime I enter a website that requires Flash
Player. Can anyone tell me how can I withdraw that "always trust all contents
from Macromedia" setting from my computer? Thanks!

As far as trusted sites in Internet Explorer, you can remove using the
following steps...
Menu 'Tools', Internet Options, 'Security' tab, Select the green icon 'Trusted
Sites' (make sure the words 'trusted sites' are highlighted), then click the
sites button, then select the site in the list that you want to remove and
click the 'remove' button.
Note: This trusted site list removal will not resolve the IE6.0 Win98SE and
FlashPlayer 8.0 compatibility problem. I am also having compatibility issues
with IE6.0 Win98SE and FlashPlayer 8.0, and I don't know how to resolve it.
Please advise if you have a resolution.

I installed Flash 7. In the process, the obsolete ActiveX control for
swflash.inf was removed. I now am running Flash Player 8 with no problems. The
real culprit is Microsoft's critical update Q896688 and their new version of
Mshtml.dll - 6.00.2800.1522. Restoring the old Mshtml.dll - 6.00.2800.1106
solves ALL problems, including Windows Update.
