A virus destroyed my computer (again) so I bought Win XP pro, and I downloaded flash, but when I run the install program nothing happens and flash won't work. any ideas?

Also, I thought XP pro was supposed to come with Word and excel and all those goodies, i have several files that require MS word, how do i go about getting it? Thanks in advance

Do you have a "POP-UP" blocker installed? You may have to get the blocker "permission" to allow the Flash to work.

If not that, check out what I just told Sharon (Trixie) about her problem with JAVA . Delete and reference to Flash or it's manufacturer(Macromedia) from the Registry....read the warnings about the registry.

yeah i read earlier today that apparently firefox's new adblocker stuff blocks all flash, which is a huge PITA since i need flash to access my webmail, but the adblock was one of my favorite things about firefox. thanks for the help!
