Perhaps you are running a program that has as one of its features a
Flash content blocker. For instance, SpywareBlaster has a feature called
Flash Killer. The good news is that this feature can be turned on *and*
off.

Personally, I like using TurnFlash, which is a quick way of enabling and
disabling Flash content:

It plays well with SpywareBlaster by the way.

Thanks Carey, that sounded like a good fix. I clicked on the link you
provided and uninstalled flash player.

Then I clicked on the link to the Adobe site to re-install it, and when I
click the "Agree and Install" button, all I get is the little red "x" in the
upper left corner. I don't even get the warning about activex that usually
pops down. I don't know what's wrong because if I select to download
Adobe's Reader, or Shockwave, I could download either of those as usual.

Is there something wrong at Adobe's site (which I doubt) or more likely...
what's wrong with my settings that I can't even download the Flash file?
Just to test things out, I went to download.com and I could download
anything from there.

Please let me know what you think.

Daaaaaaaaave!

You nailed it buddy!

Thank you so much. I forgot about Spyware Blaster because I had it running
in the background for so long I'd forgotten about it... until yesterday. I
opened it up just to refresh my memory what it was all about and I did
indeed hit the "kill" button for flash, although I apparently wasn't paying
attention.

So bottom line.... everything is working perfectly once more.

And I'll look into TurnFlash too. Thanks for that link.

I really appreciate your suggestion. A quick, easy fix.... tank you, tank
you!

Danno

Just an update Daave... I downloaded TurnFlash and love it. Talk about a
nice quick and easy little utility. Thanks for that as well! So to return
the favor... have you ever heard of Defraggler? That's a real good one!

And KeyPass for your passwords is awesome.
