Re: can't find program

open up Internet Explorer, click Tools>Manage Add-Ons>Enable or disable
add-ons.

When the manage add- ons window opens take a look down the list of add on
currently loaded in internet explorer. You should see 'shockwave flash
object' This indicates that flash is installed.

in your system as long as the page was written with bad intentions, and
there are a lot of then out there...

I'm glad you managed to solve the problem, Anne
