In the case of computers that are downgrading themselves, how many of you have FlashPaper installed. I think Contribute also has a similar issue. That is whenever you launch MS Office apps after upgrading to Flash 8 it will downgrade you to Flash 7 player. But it is a noticeable downgrade in that when you luanch the app, the installer for FlashPaper or Contribute launches and tries to fix things up. At least that was the case with the Flash 8 beta players. I think they fixed something at the end so it shouldn't do that. However there could be a chance that that particular fix isn't applied to the 8.5 alpha player. This is only speculation of course.
