Gillian, try Orisinal. Its a cute flash site. Winter Bells is just darling, its the first square. Just click on it and click on the big square that comes up, and again. Have the snow bunny jump the bells. If you click on the flower, you can "send flowers" which is to "pick and arrange" flowers on an email postcard. I don't think the send link works. I sent myself one and never got it. But it is a very nice example of flash. marf Here is a link that might be useful: Orisinal

I don't think hulu works like that, I think it just like netflix only they have some different things netflix doesn't but you might read about hulu plus and see, I don't subscribe to it. You might check if verizon has something online to watch channels live. We have time warner, have the digital box package but only have a box on the living room TV. I can log in to time warner online upstairs on the laptop and watch certain box channels on the computer live when they are airing so maybe verizon does something like that. I like that because there are a few channels I don't get on the TV upstiars since it just has basic cable so I can now watch my lizard lick towing up there. Something time warner started a few months ago. There are also apps for some channels like HBO has HBO2go but it's not a live app and you do need to subscribe to HBO through your provider to use it. I use it on my tablet and like it. Showtime has an app but time warner is not on the list so I can't use it but again you need to be subscribed to that through your provider to use the app. True TV has an app but again time warner is not on the list for me but that is one of the channels I can watch live on the laptop but verizon is on the list for all of those apps. They are not live TV though but they have a good variety of stuff that aired on those channels you can watch. Mary

ok is your Vista a 64 bit version or a 32 bit version? you will need to go to your device manager and look at the info there, actually even better you could get belarc advisor and it will tell you a ton of info about your pc it is free but I am not sure how long it would take on your dial up, but if you want to do that here is the link Belarc also try going to http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ those sites should show you which versions of flash and shockwave you have on your pc, if you hold your mouse over the about on the shockwave page it gives the info on the flash player. So we need to know what version of Vista you have and also what browser are you using? you could go get the firefox browser and put it on your pc and then go get the appropriate plugins for that browser for flash and it would work. on the Flash download page you would want to look where it says which browser it is and there will be an option that says alternate operating system or browser that is where you click to find the right one for the browser you are using so if you want the one for firefox you need to have it say it is for firefox, same with IE you want the one that says for IE. This should be the link for the firefox version of flash http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoid=DXLUJ and this the one for IE version http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoid=DXLUJ now if you do not have the firefox browser here is the link for that. Here is a link that might be useful: Firefox

Hi damccoy, Thanks so very much for responding! I was trying to download from: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/download/?installer=Flash_Player_10.1_for_Windows_Internet_Explorer&p=Google_Toolbar_6.5&d=McAfee_Security_Scan_Plus&os=XP&browser=ie&type=activex I made sure it was a download for Windows XP. Made sure I had enough room to download it. I am using IE8. I only use my AOL for email because I've had it set up since 1997 and I am too lazy to go around changing my email addy with all that have it for social and business. So I wanted the flash player to load for IE8 as that's the browser I use for all my searches/internet activity. I did just recently add service pack 3 to my computer and the first time I tried to download it I had problems. That's the first time my friend told me about this site here at GW. I ended up being able to get the service pack 3 on my second try. I tried a second time with Adobe Flash 10 and then again a third time but even though I get the message box that says it's been downloaded, I see that it's nowhere in the Add/Remove section. Again, thank you!
