    Seeing RED!!!

    I am having a problem viewing some graphics. Not all - but some (like the Ad
    on my.yahoo.com page) show up as big solid red squares. I downloaded Java
    Software and that didn't work - I tried downloading Flash 9 - that didn't
    work. I am having this problem on my laptop running Vista Home Premium. The
    same website on my Desktop shows all of the graphics fine and it is XP - so I
    am thinking that it has something to do with Vista - but what??? Has there
    been anything to replace Microsoft VM?? That is the only thing that I can
    find anyway - that is running on my Desktop that I don't have on my Laptop?
    HELP!!

    Donna,

    Many websites also require the installation of the Adobe Shockwave
    Player, which was formerly called the Macromedia Shockwave Player. It is
    different than the Adobe Flash Player.
    You can download the player from Adobe's website. You must also keep in
    mind that your problem could be caused by third party software that blocks
    advertisements and popups. If you have such software on your system you must
    correct or change your settings.
    Have a nice day.
