Macromedia flash player driving me nuts!
How can I stop this window from poping up !? I get a "security warning" window that keeps popping up asking me if I want to install macromedia flash player. This is a public use computer at work, so I don't want to intall anything. Don't know if someone else tried and had a problem or what happened. Its just really annoying, I have to keep clicking it to close it.

I don't know of a way WITHOUT installing something. If you decide to, install Mozzilla browser and be done with the headaches of IE. If you do this, you can tell Mozzilla not to be the default browser, and let everyone else use IE and you use Mozzilla. This can give several advantages such as personalized bookmarks, different security settings, etc.
Hope this helps.

Some websites will not display properly without flash and with Mozilla or Firefox you will see little blank panels with "click here to find the plugin". All you have to do is ignore them and use the menu bars etc to find the information. Advertisers like to use the flash player. They can't use it if it isn't loaded.

Either there is no flash installed at all or it's out dated and Macromedia is asking you to go there and update it. A lot of web sites you go to have some kind of flash play content on them and the browser is looking for the player. I would just go and let it get installed or updated.

If you download it make sure you download it from a trusted site. Some websites use that "gambit" to download "bad" stuff to your machine.
With Mozilla you can specify that your browser always use the Netscape plug in finder service rather than just have the web page specify the download location.

If he clicks on that window it should take him to Macromedias web site. You install it right off their site.

Well I clicked it and nothing happened. It didn't go to the macromedia website or start an install, at least the annoying pop up is gone.
