Should it show the flashplayer installed (by the Adobe install script)? Why does about:plugins show it, and why does it show the previous version too? It looks as though there are search functions to find the installed plugins: how does the list of installed plugins get generated? Why do these big applications hide so much of their working? richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
