What a coincidence! I tried to post a message a few minutes ago and got a message about cookies. I took a break, went to KT, posted with no problem, and came back here to try again. I found that I no longer have Flash Player. Somewhere in all the troubles I had recently it must have been deleted. I have tried to get it by clicking on a video that has a small box that says click here to download Flash Player. I download it but then I get a red box that tells me to read the agreement, which I've not found. I did get a list of Flash programs and I clicked on the version 10. It just sits there downloading endlessly. I went to FF addons and found this. Download YouTube Videos + Flash Video Downloader / Download-Helper 3.3.1 So, that is what I need? In Control Panel I have Adobe Reader 9.3.4. which is used for my church newsletter. Will I lose that if I get Flash Player? Firefox default browser. HP Media Center XP SP3 TIA Sue

Eddie if you are using IE7 or Firefox simply open another tab and surf away, no need to iconise the downloading tab. If you use IE6 then open another instance of IE6 and surf.

Hmmm, Could it be that you still have the tool selected and just don't realize it? For example, I select the paintbrush tool and do some painting on my butterfly image, then I go up to the menu at top (the mouse cursor will change to an arrow) and open another image to copy something from it into the butterfly image I'm working on. When I go back into the project work area (big space where my butterfly image is) I will still have the paintbrush tool selected unless I choose a different tool from the tool box. I can have a tool selected and with my mouse go to a window or the menu at top and the mouse cursor will change from whatever tool I have selected to an arrow. However when I go back to my project area the mouse cursor will change back to show the tool I have currently selected.
