hi kyle, or should i call you Netscape Basher, or Bundy? Man, you go 
by many names....

same thing for IE, i once did a clean install of XP Pro, and for some 
reason only admin users could view flash objects. Now if you'll check 
you see that IE has a plug-in folder, but typically it's empty, so if 
you have a malfunctioning Flash player what do you do?! Hmm..i think i 
prefer the Mozilla way, at least it's transparent!

In my case reinstalling Flash didn't solve anything (after all it was 
already installed..somewhere..for some) In the end i solved it by 
messing up the flas32.ocx in the windows\system folder, and only then 
the reinstall of flash worked.

The problem is that Mozilla hasn't reached version 1 yet, and most 
plug-in installers only check for IE and Netscape (some do Opera as 
well). Soon they'll recognize Mozilla as well.

One last example, Microsoft deliberately broke support for Netscape 
style plug-ins in IE 5.5sp2 and IE6. It took a while before all 
content types were able to work with IE as well.

anyways, i'll leave you to your bashing 'cause that seems to be what 
you like doing most ;)
