I am running WIN98 SE and IE 6.0.2800. I can't get Flash to install. When I go to the flash page and click on the "INSTALL NOW" icon, it doesn't do anything. I was able to install Shockwave and that works fine. I have reinstalled IE and SP1. I have checked the settings in security and it is below recommended. This is what I see... no icons or pics, just the little square coloured boxes that do nothing. I have tried everything. Can ANYONE help?
(thanks)
When you see the installation completion movie above and text below, your installation was successful. The installation should only take a minute or two on a 56k modem.

Do you have any popup blockers? If so this might be blocking the Flash Install POPup which would prevent you from installing flash.

No popup blockers. I am running McAfee Firewall but I disabled that and tried too. Still no luck

That's pretty much what's happening. It just won't even try to install. My IE settings are default, I'm running Mcafee Firewall and Virus Scan but even disabling that, it still doesn't work. Until you don't have it, you have no idea how many sites use it

I set all security settings to default. When I go to the flash download page
(http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/...ShockwaveFlash)
and click on the INSTALL NOW icon, it goes to (http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/...com/flash.html) and just sits there loading nothing.
