problem with Flash/Macromedia

[*ALFIE*]

Everytime i want to view a flash site, i can never view it. When i try to download flash I can never install it as it asks to view a flash animation( as it says on the link below), and if that animation is visible then i can download it.

But i can never see the flash animation in the first place. Any ideas ? please help.

You normally only see the animation after you install Flash! Go to http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash, unclick the Yahoo Toolbar box (unless you actually want it!) and click "Install Now". You may need to close other browser windows and allow an Active X applet to run (watch for warnings near the top of your screen).

nope, i dont see the animation after pressing install :-)whats going on..?

only when i delete the temp folder or "clear history", then i can only temporarily view flash objects - why is this ? its so puzzling...

It sounds like you have Flash installed. Can you play any of the games on this site: http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/ ?

LeMarchand - yes, i can play the games, but only when I delete the temp files from the "tools>Internet Options general tab". Strange isn't it ? but even this occasionally works as couldn't send online greetings cards (with flash anumation) - it was so annoying.

Very odd. I'm wondering if something is dumping something odd in your temp file. Do you have anti-virus and anti-spyware installed and regularly run/updated?
