As the flash 5 is used for annoying advertising only I would like to choose NO. It goes away only to re-appear again when selecting items on the web page. Is there any way to stop such harassment? It would be nice if there was an option to tick 'don't ask me again' on that panel.	Guest (0)

But if you install Flash 5 plugin you'll be able to view lots of pretty neat website stuff that may not show properly on your current version.	Guest (0)

Click on default level for the 'Internet' Zone and move the slider up to 'High' then click apply/okay. You will need to reverse this process on some sites so as to interact with them (such as making a posting on F.1) but this can be done on the fly and the setting returned when no longer required. No more pop-up adds and faster loading web pages. Cheers!!! e_	Guest (0)
