Welcome to daniweb!

Are you sure you have scripts ENABLED?? (w/o them most flash sites dont work right)

Try this and see if you see it (No scripts are needed to view it)

Now here is the same clip (SCRIPTS ARE NEEDED)

If you can see the first 1 i posted but not the 2nd,YOU HAVE SCRIPTING DISABLED!

Good luck!!

I had the same problem with Adobe Flash Player when I installed it last night. I went to the website & did the Uninstall. However I am now plagued with popups with constant requests for me to reinstall. I know the fix is beyond me & have decided to not use or websites that need it until the problem's resolved. I was installing it on a mixed setup: Netflix Vista ME converted to XP, Win 200 with mostly 2003 software. I don't know what's causing the problem.

Welcome

After you uninstalled did you clean your registry? (Might be parts left over)

REGSEEKER will help you tidy your registry up (Best reg cleaner out there -- removed over 850 keys first time i used it)

Good luck!

Thanks Dude! I'm on my way to Hoverdesk site now. I suspect you are very right. It will be interesting to see how much mess it cleans up.

windows XP. I am still having trouble. removed any programs that had anything to do with video, loaded spybot and just got a bunch of pop-ups and hassel even though it may have done some good? I removed it too. I installed a registry cleaner, cleaned and removed it too. backed-up my files, removed all my picture, rebooted numberous times...still not actually loading. I have also diabled Norton while trying to load.

how do i fix the scripts?

You didnt tell me what browser your using you only said your os (Windows XP) Its slightly different between browsers how to do it

Example: Firefox you click TOOLS/OPTIONS/CONTENT and click "Enable Javascript" (This is for 1.5 might be the same for all other versions also)

For IE you goto INTERNET OPTIONS/SECURITY/CUSTOM and scroll down to "Active Scripting" and make sure its enabled


Good luck!

Hello Dude!

Actually I have both Explorer 6 and Firefox. I mostly use the Explorer however, but am able to access Java somewhat through IE, thanks to an update from Windows recently. However, tonight as I was getting ready to check some things out for a couple of hours, suddenly 2 spies came riding in on a Trojan. I started scanning and cleaning up the mess around 9PM and just wrapped it up at 3:45 AM and thought to check my mail.

Oh well, such is this planet full of worms, strange horses and deadly plagues, not to mention that everything always needs updating. But I got used to that a long time ago. Thanks for your help on that Adobe download fiasco. I'll be more conscientious to clean my registry more often.

Now this overly tired one is off to get the sorely needed rest for the rest of what's left of the night. Good thing it's a weekend!

Greenowl
