    Re-installation of my PC software

    Hi All,

    Today I did a clean install of my computer. I have done this many times over the years, but today I have a problem.

    Everything is working fine until I try to go on sites that use flash player, like you tube. When I try to download the flash player, Explorer closes down and I can't install.

    I am sure you guys will be able to help me and I come with cap in hand a beaten man. I have spent the last 4 hours trying to sort this! Sometime I can't see the woods for the trees!

    Oh it also says Java script is disabled. How do I enable it?

    HELP!

    Hi Rich,

    I have tried that and I thought it was working, as the software started to download this time. However once I thought the download was completed, I tried it and Explorer shut down again.

    Thanks anyway. Any more ideas?

    See if it works with firefox. This will give us a clue as to the cause. While trying to fix it, at least you can watch you tube, if it works with Firefox.
    Also try to get rid of the add ons in IE
    Go to'
    tools
    internet options
    advanced
    reset
