Sites that I visited with flash, the flash files would not run/download. Strangly a shockwave .swf file on my hard drive works ok. When I first noticed it, if I recall correctly, I thought that it was not downloading the file, rather than that it was downloading the file and then not playing it. Didn't have time to try and find out why it wasn't loading the file. Regards Dennis.
