WLM 8.1 Beta crashes after starting

and gives a message about it being closed by "NoExecution" or something like
that.
Un/reinstalling doesn't solve it.
8.0 works fine.

Any ideas where to start?

Oh, I also forgot to mention: I use Windows Vista RC2 32Bit, and the error
occurs several seconds after successfully logging on.

Greetings,

Are you using Vista? If so, this is a known problem with Flash 9.

With all Internet Explorer windows (and other apps with flash, like AIM) 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.

Now install the latest Flash beta which fixes this issue:
http://www.adobe.com/go/fp9_update_b...ler_winactivex

After this, reboot and cross your fingers. The installer is ridiculously bad, doesn't
upgrade existing Flash installs and won't even tell you if there's a problem.
