97448 2002-11-09 11:13:00 I recently purchased an aussie mag APC October issue.
I was looking over the CDs and when my Oprea browser opened it, every 30 to 40 seconds a bloody annoying popup screen appears with the following:

"Do you want to install and run "the Macromedia Flash Player 6, a quick and free download, The leading rich client for Internet content and applications across the broadest range of platforms" signed on 1/08/2002 4:43 a.m. and distributed by: macromedia,Inc...blah blah blah".

I can't seem to shake the damn thing,
Anyone please explain or do I just have to put up with it.
The ruddy thing is like a bloody nightmare.

Never come across this before.

cheers merlin-nz ;-)

It is quite useful as there are a lot of really good flash sites around which require this program.

97451 2002-11-09 16:37:00 Jim B is right, you may actually need it to view parts of the CD properly. The flash plugins and are needed forfull viewing of a number of web pages, they don.t hog resources or take up much space, and are easy to remove from your system if you want to.. Bill P (1660)
97452 2002-11-09 23:54:00 Thanks guys, now I know what it is for I will download it.
Have heard somwhere sometime ago about it but the old memory is lacking a bit.
