Re: FLASH: trouble loading pages containing flash -FIX

[Helen Triolo]

Thanks for the advice, Marcus.  You first, Ted!  ;-)  The thought of

uninstalling/re-installing/plain-old-installing anything to do with IE

sends chills o' fear down my spine!  I spent half a day trying to undo

whatever it was I botched last time I tried to mess with one of the IE

files (the flash ocx).  But I do appreciate the clue if I ever do want

to attempt a reinstall.  And let me see, I guess you must be the combo

network administrator/tech support/Flash programmer guy for Nielsen?  


Regards,

Helen
