I've made some progress, originally I couldn't install Flash Player 11 it told me I had to stop IE.
Well found a procedure on the Microsoft forum on how to do that so
- I did a save of the install from Adobe (used save when it asked if I wanted to Run/Save)
- used the procedure on the forum to stop IE from the command/prompt function
- ran the saved program
- INSTALL WENT WITHOUT ANY ERRORS
tried to run and was told not intalled?
Went to 'all programs' function of start and it was not listed
tried to seach and could not locate
Went to the control panel and it was listed in those programs you can uninstall
Tried a restart NG
Tried to uninstall and go thru another install NG
ANY SUGGESTIONS?????
thanks
