I have given up trying to figure why this happens on some computers and not others. The problem was very repeatable until I manually removed, then replaced, a file called swflash.inf from the Windows > Downloaded Program Files folder. swflash.inf was a file that got deleted when I clicked (Temporary Internet Files) Delete Files... from IE. However, after manual removal and replacement, swflash.inf does NOT get deleted. go figure. for posterity, here's my IE version: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158
It doesn't sound like a real fix, but that's they way it happened for me. The problem is still repeatable on other computers, though. Michael, This sounds real weird... can you make out some specific diffrence btw yours and some other system where everything works fine? if you cant figure it out.... lemme know we can take this issue off list.
