Common problem the Flash player update. Best to totally uninstall Flash (which you now
have to use an uninstaller) and then install the latest flash.
This should get rid of the update.

| Thank You. Excellent advise. I had to do everything exactly and in order,
| so I needed some quiet time to concentrate. I was shocked when it all came
| together and worked correctly. Good job. The only side effect, is update
| KB923789 Security update for flash player, fails to install. That's OK
| though, compared to where I was, I'm happy. Once again and sincerely, Thank
| you.
