TSGL: Flash in IE 6 or 7

[Russell W. Coover]

Deb, 

I've had the same problem and the solution was, as Justin suggested, to go
into Add/Delete and look for any and all installations of Java. Delete them,
and then reinstall one of them.

I am trying to find myself. If you see me before I do, please ask me to wait
until I return.

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
