Topic: Flash MX: Shortcut Stopper?

[Big_Boss]

Hi,

Recently i installed flash mx 2004, and now when i click on my IE shortcut in my quick launch bar, nothing happens. The sand timer appears for a few seconds, disappears and then nothing.  

I have a suspicion it has something to do with the flash player?

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this annoying problem. Only way i can get round it for now is to start an IE window my typing a web address into my computer  :'(

Thanks, Boss

If you right click the icon and choose properties, the settings should be the same as those on the image below.

(Your target will say C: rather than H: probably)

Here is a picture of my properties box

It only started happening after installing flash mx 2004

As long as there is a C:\ before the Program Files bit in Target, that seems OK Big_Boss.

Have you tried running iexplore directly from Start|Run?

[Big_Boss]

Just tried just now and it does the same thing  :'(

It sounds like you need to run a repair on IE then Big_Boss.

Either that or install a better browser. See http://pc-pals.com/index.php?board=27;action=display;threadid=7012;start=0

:mg: I'm starting to sound like Simon and Tony again

I like the look of your screenshot, BB.  What OS are you using, or is that a different skin?

Hi Simon, im on XP Pro

http://www.themexp.org/ is a good site for wallpapers, visual styles etc, with the exact style from my screenshot shown here.

If thats not to your taste, theirs lots more. Theres bound to be something you like!

Thanks a lot BB!    I've installed the one you have, but I think I'll have a look round at some others as well.  Unfortunately the site seems to have gond down for the moment.
