Hi gonzo, thanks for the advice. I'll download Flash 10 in Explorer. If that works alright then I'll leave it at that.

With regards to 'my last refresh point prior to getting the problem' I suppose I could go into temporary internet files and and see which page this all started with. Saturday night just after that daft cheat thing I downloaded so should be easy enough to locate. Thanks.

Update - I downloaded Flash 10 in Explorer today without uninstalling Flash 9 from Firefox and it seems to work OK. It is hardly an inconvenience to use 2 browsers so I'll leave it at this. Thanks for the advice gonzo.

Glad you got it sorted anyway mate :cheers:
