I can't figure out if XP Service Pack 2 or one of my pop-up
blockers/spyware blockers is doing it, but I can't see this page. I've
tried turning them all off, but still no joy.

feel almost as strongly about QuickTime. With flash, every website, it

wants to dominate everything, and I want no part of either of them.

Since I reinstalled Windows 2000 pro, my old 'puter has not hiccupped, even
one time. Before, disaster. Only difference in programs, were these two,
and IM.

I know, many will say that does not have anything to do with it, but all the
same, I will have to miss anything that requires flash and QuickTime.

you still need quicktime. well, I can't follow your logic with quicktime
and only a little with flash, but this is only me. Never ever has one of
the 2 programs made any of my or my customers machines crash. but don't let
us get into softwre-bashing.

Most Flash programmers provide a 'Skip Intro' button.

Agreed. The current version of Apple's Quicktime distribution is a
prime example of invasive programming, a trend gaining momentum
despite public outcry.

I'm sorry to hear of your difficulties; I find WinXP able, agile, and
stable.

Ummm....

I don't mind FLASH so much, or even QuickTime, but they'll have to kill me
to install RealPlayer.

Win2000 is _finally_ stable once you get to SP6.

We have WinXP-Pro at work and it's still (three years old) unstable and bug
riddled.

Our DB server is an Old Dec-Alpha that still runs very well with Oracle
8.0.5.

Boy, ain't THAT the truth.

At least weekly I get emails from people who can't view the aviation videos
on our website. In almost every case, it's a problem with RealPlayer.

I used to love that program, but their latest incarnations write themselves
into EVERY part of your operating system. Then, even when you select
another player to be your default player (either Quicktime or Windows Media
Player), RealPlayer won't "let go" of critical parts of your system.

This results in no "single-click" video playback without "cutting and
pasting" the URLs into either Quicktime or WMP -- which is something most
casual users don't even think to try. It's a real pain, and quite subtle,
as most people don't catch the relationship between what they have done by
selecting QT or WMP to be their default, after having once used RealPlayer
as their default player.

The insidious thing about the problem is that the settings all appear to be
correct -- Windows will SHOW Quicktime or WMP to be the default player, even
though something internal has clearly NOT switched over. The only "fix"
I've found is the total uninstallation of RealPlayer.

Really? Every instance of XP that I use, is rock solid stable. I bet you
have a conflict with XP and another program you use, or a driver for
something you have on the machine(s)

Get a different browser like "Opera" which will let you turn off the
animations. But giving up on QuickTime and Flash limits your enjoyment of
some useful and entertaining websites.

You can disable flash by renaming the swflash.ocx file (to, say,
swflash.ocx.dead). Put a text file with the same name next to it saying what
you did. Rename it back to see flash again.

You will need to do this for ALL copies of the file, and then say "no" to the
"would you like to install" questions that will come up. Newer versions may
use flash.ocx or flasha.ocx.

Also, google "disable flash" and you'll see other methods of forcing it to your
will. But i wish it just had an off switch.
