Hi,
It actually took me ages to get this to work myself as the installer is not very intelligent
and does not notify you when it doesn't work. With all Internet Explorer windows shut down,
go to the Control Panel, then Programs, and then Programs and Features (or just Programs and
Features if you're in classic mode).
Then, in the search field at the top type flash and wait to see if there are any results.
Click each that are Macromedia Flash and choose Uninstall for each one.
Next, click the Start button, type cmd.exe and press Enter. At the command line type:
cd %systemroot%\system32\Macromed\Flash
and press Enter.
Now type:
uninstfl
and press Enter. If there's anything to remove it will prompt you to uninstall Flash, say
Yes or OK. If this fails or doesn't exist, continue on.
Next type:
dir
and press Enter. See if flash9.ocx is there. It shouldn't be, but flash9b.ocx should.
Now just type:
regsvr32 flash9b.ocx
and press Enter. You should get a message saying it succeeded. Now try Messenger again.
