TSGL: Flash in IE 6 or 7

[The Computer Whisperer]

maybe you have 2 copies of the Javascript plug-in running, i remember it
used to cause me immense frustration when it wouldnt' work...

I think the first thing to try would be to uninstall both versions of
Javascript/Flash and reinstall, if that is the cause.

Regards,

Justin
