I haven't got one of those - it's full of grey matter (some of it
sticking out ;-) However...

No surprise really...

To browsers other than IE it's just a one line comment.

Suggest you take that up with BrowserCam - someone accidentally
installed Flash on that machine?
In IE with high security settings (to block flash, among other
things), I get only ONE "flash not installed" message. Perhaps
IE in high security mode doesn't honour IE conditional comments.
Try it with this version, which has two different "not installed"
messages: http://www.bwdzine.com/flash.html
If this is true, and all else being equal, the simpler version
may be better, as IE users with high security settings still get
alternative content.
