on two separate occasions with two different computers i've encountered issues with flash not installing correctly (IE). on adobes site it will only show a " mark where the animation should be. now on the one computer i did a test and installed firefox and it worked fine for firefox but not IE. Well that computer had other issues as well and I ended up just formatting the drive and reinstalling. after that it worked fine.

now the second computer i uninstalled flash 9 and install flash 6 and it worked fine except a couple sites that wanted the lasted player again firefox worked fine.

What is the issue here. note: i'm nowhere near these computers now so i can't do any tests.
