[Ham-Computers] Flash Player install problems

[Jay Eimer]

Welcome to the wonderful world of Flash.  I hate it!  Works on 1/2 of my
computers, doesn't on the other half, and the half it works on are on
dial=up connections, where I'd just as soon it didn't.  I can live
without animated graphics, especially if the web page takes forever to
download because of them.

My 2¢
Jay

Appears I'm up against it here. For 6-8 months have been running a late
model Dell Pentium 4, 2.8 Gig w/500M RAM with XP Pro and had no problems
whatsoever. Recently some website graphics have quit working in IE,
along with a message that I don't have a Flash player installed.
Instead, I now get a little placeholder box with a red X in it.

After trying everything I could think of with security and privacy
settings, I tried to download and reinstall FP 7.0 from the Macromedia
website. Couldn't even do that, the download graphic won't even come up
(red X again). Downloaded Macromedia's uninstaller, ran it, and it said
it found and successfully uninstalled Flash Player.  Went back to try
the FP7 download again, same results. Can't even see the graphic on the
download page, just the red X.

Can anyone tell me why I'm now getting little red X's instead of
graphics (doesn't happen on all graphics, only those that appear to be
animated with Flash Player), and why I can't even see the download
graphics on Macromedia's download site, much less download the player?
Could this be related to QuickTime, RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, or
some other commonly installed graphics player?

Tks.
