Sorry to hear your bad luck about Pandora Usil. I've just started listening within the last couple of months and it really is great - it was soooo good to be able to axe Sammy Hagar! (Never have liked his stuff.)

Don't know if this will solve the problem but, it might:Quote:

- Go to Secunia's Online Software Inspector
http://secunia.com/software_inspector/
- Click the "Start Now" button. On the next screen, select (check) "Enable thorough system inspection" then click the "Start" button.
- When it's done, ("Inspection successfully completed" pop-up), scroll through the list looking for any instances of the word "Flash". If it's not found, skip down to Step 5 below.
If it is there, it should show you the location of the file such as:C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash\Flash7a.ocx
- Highlight and copy ([Ctrl-C]) that line. (Not the line above, the line on Secunia's screen).
- Go to a CMD prompt, (click Start | Run, type in cmd and press [Enter]).
- At the command prompt, type del, skip a space, type in a double-quote character ("), right-click any blank space in the CMD window and select "Paste", type in another double-quote character (") and then press [Enter].
In other words, using my example location line above, the command line would look like so:del "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash\Flash7a.ocx"- Type exit and press [Enter] to close the CMD window.
- If any more instances of "Flash" were found on Secunia's list, repeat steps "a" through "d" above to delete all of them.
- Reinstall Adobe's Flash Player

Interesting, it worked, but it didn't. The page started to load, but I didn't get the box with the music.Quote:

Here's another trick for you.
I been listening to Pandora for a few month now.
I went to Newegg and got a small FM transmitter that is used with an MP3 player and plugs into a USB port for power, a splitter to plug into the speaker out jack so I can connect the speakers and transmitter into the same output. Now I can listen to Pandora in every radio in the house including my woodworking shop, our 3 season room and the bath room:>).... LOVE IT
Even if I was to do that, you still get the transmission off the internet, so I wouldn't think that would work.
On Pandora's web site it says "US listening only"
http://blog.pandora.com/faq/#79
Yes, thats what I pointed out in post #26.
Spyware Dr--Thanks for the suggestion in your Post #32. Unfortunately, it did not work (though Secunia did find two old flash files).
I also tried your suggestion in Post #33 just for the fun of it. Also no change.
I will try contacting Pandora.
That's too bad Usil :(
I love using pandora
I see you have a Zone Alarm Firewall. I think I had to turn mine off.Quote:

As follow up to my earlier posts, I looked aroung Adobe Flash's FAQ's and came up with this page
http://www.macromedia.com/support/do...lp/help06.html
I suspect it shows (at the top) the window with the Allow button I should be seeing after the Refresh step #5 mentioned in my first post. Unfortunately, that webpage gives no advice on how to get that window to appear if it does not after the first five action steps.
Thanks usil .
It seems I was the only person (in the US anyway) having a problem accessing the site, but many of you offered ideas. So I thought I should post the fix offered by Pandora.
When I clicked on the "How do I do it" link on the window I was offered when I first accessed www.pandora.com, I got a series of instructions, but none helped. I think they included uninstalling Flash and reinstalling, etc.
Then Ian Ellison of Pandora responded with this suggestion. Not only did it fix my Pandora problem, but it alerted me to an Adobe page which may help you solve problems on sites using Flash in the future.
"Adjust Flash Local Storage settings manually
-Please visit:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/do...03.html#117498
[The window you will see at the top of the page is the actual global configuration window for your flash player.]
-Make sure "allow third party flash content to store data on your computer" is checked.
-Drag the slider up if it is below 100k (I recommend 'unlimited').
-Next, under global security settings (the next tab over), select "Always ask".
-Finally, under the "Website privacy" tab (the monitor with the eye in it), make sure that pandora.com com is not set to "Always deny" if it is in the list of "Visited websites". If it is currently "always deny," change that setting to "always ask" or "always allow"."
Note also the list of other Flash settings that can be accessed by clicking the links under Settings Manager in the left column.
Excellent find; Thanks Jim!
Good to hear your problem's been solved too. :)
