OK...here goes...(Mac user here, if I screw up the Windows lingo, forgive me)...
-Right click on your hard drive (if it's on the desktop, if not, navigate to
it from your Start menu) and choose Explore.
-In the hirearchy tree, find the folder for your browser (Internet Explorer
or Netscape Navigator probably) and click on it.
-In the open browser folder, find the Plug-Ins folder, click on it.
-Locate the plug-in for Flash. Right click on it and choose Delete.
-Now open your browser and conect to the Internet. Go to www.macromedia.com,
and go to the Downloads area. Install the Flash plug-in again.
When you are done, the game should work again. Because this happened to me
often, I just kept the Flash Installer on my desktop and used it to
instigate the re-install each time I wanted it.
Hope that helps. Anyone else should feel free to chime in and correct any
mistakes I have made for the Windows system.
