I'm just curious, maybe you can explain it to me Carey,

I don't actually expect an answer, just "thinking out loud", so to speak.

I've often tried to help people in groups like this and have sometimes been
successful, other times not, but that's not really my question . . .

I just sometimes wonder why I so often see people having a problem with a
third-party application but the first thing they seem to want to do is
contact Microsoft about the problem, instead of the vendor that actually
designed the program they are having trouble with.

I had the same problem with Flash and went right to Adobe's site. Didn't
find the exact problem in their help section, but after searching through
the tips and tricks the instructions for uninstalling and reinstalling to
solve "unlisted" problems was there and it worked just fine. Took me all of
5 minutes to look for, find, and do the repair.
