Sure! But now that Neil is out in the cold, I suppose TVCH condones breaking Canadian laws! Where do we stand on Azerbijanian laws? JUST kidding. <races off like a scalded wombat>
Karen, when I got a new camera a year or so ago, I had to get a new card reader. I found some on ebay. I bought TWO for a total of $6 with free shipping. Turns out they were shipped from Hong Kong, and they took forever to arrive, but they work just fine.

Does Adobe Flash player not work with Vista?? I'm trying to view some YouTube vids and YouTube keeps telling me I don't have the most recent Flash Player (9.0) installed. But the website to DL and install doesn't give me any option to download, instead I get a "done, with errors on page". A bit of research seems to show that Adobe and Vista don't talk to each other well?? But I have Macromedia MX 2004 installed on the computer and that seems fine. Is this a problem, I really can't watch YouTube vids on my Vista machine?? Is there a patch?

Ok, I know you guys are sick of me asking questions, but this lack of being able to install Flash Player is now not just an annoyance, it's seriously hindering me. I need to access websites that are flash based, and everytime I click on the "You need Flash Player, click here to get it now", it takes me to the Adobe page (this one). I click the download now box, it launches the 2nd page with install instructions. But there's no file download and no install window popping up. Surely one of you who has Vista has found a fix for this problem? It's beyond being annoying, it's essential that I find a fix. Any help today would be greatly appreciated.

Karen, I found this: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/special/vista/ There's a link there that takes you to a different download page then the one you linked to above.

Thank you, Lori, but it's still a no-go. I downloaded the version you pointed me to, and I got a "failed to install" error, with a URL for troubleshooting. I checked all the things they told me to check, and it says it should work perfectly once those settings are in place. I'm at a loss. My BIL used to work for the Vista customer support hotline - the one you have to pay something like $90 to access. I'll ask him about it later.

Again, Lori, thank you. I followed all the steps there, and was kindly greeted with "Flash Player has installed successfully. Changes will take place once you restart your system." So I rebooted, and... all the websites I'm trying to view are still giving me the same errors, that I don't have Flash installed. I'm so frustrated its not even funny. Seriously, though, don't worry about it. If BIL doesn't have an answer for me, I'm stripping Vista off this machine and going back to XP. This is ridiculous.
