text: a website had me update my version of flash to view the page now i can't see the website as well as others why i was on a website that had a video i could view, it said that i needed to update my version of flash player in order to see the video, so i clicked update. ever since then i cannot view the web site at all, as well as numerous others such as, mtv, my yahoo avatar, etc. why did this happen, and how can i fix it? if a program installs over a program (same type of program mind you), sometimes things go wrong.  i've had this happen before, and the way i fixed it was to unistall the flash player using windows' add/remove feature.  this is found in your control panel window: (start/settings/control panel).  after you uninstall the flash player, go to macromedia.com (it redirects to adobe.com tho) and install the latest version of flash player.  this should fix your problem.  hope you have success.
