That's where I got this http://www.microsoft.com/windows/support/endofsupport.mspx

Thanks for the reply, that was it, sometimes I forget about my right click, brain farts at 61. By the way, I love this "When I look at the smiles on all the children's faces, I just know they're about to jab me with something."

I have a Compac V2000 notebook w/XP home. When I open the control panel, the icons are not nice and orderly as on other machines, they are kind of scattered within the box. I have moved everything back to an orderly fashion but they do not stay that way. I feel there must be something out of order with the machine for it to do this, any thoughts?

I have already tried that with the same results., both machines run the same programs but there is obviously something different with the configuration of my notebook. I have also tried safe mode with networking with the same results Was having problems with windows 3.1 installer and Java, possibly IE, not sure where the problem was but did a master reset on IE, ran sfc /scannow, reinstalled windows 3.1 installer and was finally able to update Java and as a result able to install Adobe flash, problem resolved. Thanks for input..........O

Do you have a security program like spy sweeper that is not allowing installion of IE addons? Spyware guard, spyware blaster,super anti-spyware, avast av on laptop and desktop. The error box I am getting does not look like the normal windows box, more like it is coming from Adobe, but that doesn't make sense.

I have been trying to install Adobe flash player 9 from the download site but after a short time I'm told that I must be the administrator in order to do it. According to my account, I am the administrator and this is the only program I have ever had a this problem. I didn't have a problem on my desktop but am with my compaq presario wireless notebook. Running xp home with all updates. I have installed another program to see if it would install, no problem. The message I get when trying to install adobe is "Error You do not have access to make the required system configuration modifications. P
