Default Screen "freezes" when I access Adobe Flash Player Websites

I am in the midst of a "catch 22". In order to correct an error message I am
instructed to Reset "SEcurity Settings". Yet when I go to that website ( or
any adobe website) my screen is "frozen".

Here is the error message:

"Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation"
.........
"To let this application communicate with the internet, click settings. You
must
restart the application after changing your settings"

Again, the problem is changinging the security settings. The screen
"freezes" when
I access that Adobe Web Site.

Can someone please help.

Thank you

Whoa! You are not going to a website to reset your computer security
settings, are you? That can't be right! Sounds like somebody is trying
to infect your computer with malware or worse to me. DON'T DO IT!

Bill, Thank you for your reply. The issue relates to a blank Finance "Quck
View" in AOL. I will send you a picture of the message and would appreciate
your comments.

Many thanx

Oh I see (and thanks for the pic in email). You are talking about your
AOL application security. Well I believe I would try removing Adobe
Flash from the system. Then try to change the security settings if it
will let you without Flash. And regardless if you can or can't,
reinstall Adobe Flash once again. Now hopefully your problems are gone.
