Hi Darcy:
Well, I installed Cocktail and it did it's thing. Once again, when I tried to install Flash Player, it automatically kicked in Explorer and it unexpectedly quit again. BTW, I do have Safari and I like it fine. In fact, I tried to open the file I originally wanted in Safari, and it worked. So, maybe I don't need Explorer any more, but I wonder if I dump Explorer, if Flash player will install via Safari or not. There may be some other down side to dumping Explorer of which I'm not aware, besides loosing all those bookmarks, of course,
At any rate, thanks for all the good info ...

In your Applications/Utilities folder, there is something called "Disk Utility." If you launch that, then select your hard drive, you can click on the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
Alternately, I highly recommend the OS X disk utility Cocktail, available here:
http://www.macosxcocktail.com/
I would suggest downloading, installing and launching Cocktail, then going to the "Pilot" pane in Cocktail, make sure all of the boxes are checked, and set it to automatically Restart when it's done. Then let Cocktail do its thing. This will not only repair disk permissions, it will do a bunch of other useful disk maintenance stuff as well.
After you run Cocktail and restart, you should try reinstalling the Flash player before you launch any other applications.
Finally, I'm not sure why you're still using Internet Explorer on a Mac. Safari is far better. Unless you have some sort of online banking service (or something) that doesn't work with Safari, I would recommend at least giving Safari a try. Microsoft are no longer developing Internet Explorer for Mac OS, so the browser is effectively dead in the water.
If you don't like Safari, there's always Firefox, Camino, OmniWeb, or Opera. They are all far superior to Internet Explorer.

I went to the site you gave me, and got the Flash Player Install icon
on my desk top. However, every time I attempt to install it, when it
opens Internet Explorer 5.1 automatically, that application always
unexpectedly quits. More confusing is, that normally I run Explorer
5.2. Any thoughtsÇ
Did you try repairing permission and repairing disk as I suggested
before? I think your system is unstable. DiskWarrior might be in order
as well.
