SP3 corrupts Adobe Flash Player

[Scott]

I updated one of my computers with SP3 today. I discovered the adobe flash
player on the Yahoo Launch web site no longer has full functionality.
Specifically, clicking the full screen button does not do anything anymore.

Everything works fine on my other computer.

FYI, when I first restarted my SP3 computer, the internet connection did not
work. Restarting again corrected the problem.

Any fixes out there?

Does uninstalling SP3 resolve the problem?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)? Were any of these applications running when you installed SP3?
=================================
Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for
Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. Chat and

Have you upgraded Flash?

 

[John Waller]

Try uninstalling and reinstalling Flash.

Upgrading the Flash player solved the problem. My new Dell computer (Dec 07)
came with Flash 9.0.47.0 and I now have Flash 9.0.124.0. It came with the
McAffe Security Suite. I've added Ad-Aware 2007.

Good that you got it working... thanks for letting us know the outcome!

Same thing happened to me and through this forum, got the Adobe flash player
uninstaller to remove old Flash player. Then fresh new install of Flash 9
went without a problem. Hope this helps. BW
